Geneva’s best bars

There’s certainly no shortage of pubs and bars in Geneva, from trendy rooftop hangouts to student theme pubs and elegant post-work wine bars. But finding a good cocktail at a decent price can be a trickier proposition. At first glance it may seem your only choice is to head for one of Geneva’s many five star hotels or flashy lakeside bars and resign yourself to emptying the contents of your wallet quicker than you can say Mai Tai. But thankfully, there is an alternative. Cocktail culture has crept up on the city in the past few years and if you look a little deeper and explore a little further, you’ll come across a clutch of Geneva bars offering artfully mixed cocktails in surroundings that are far more original and quirky than you might expect and for prices that, while not exactly cheap (this is Switzerland after all) are, at least, fair.
