L’Usine

If you’re seeking something different to the overpriced slick clubs aimed at Geneva’s moneyed jet setters, you’ll certainly find it here. A former gold refinery, this listed building is now an alternative arts venue with a theatre, cinema and several concert spaces presenting an eclectic mix of music including electro, punk, ska, rock, reggae, disco and metal. Artists range from local unsigned bands to international DJs, and the crowd is just as varied. It can be sweaty, smelly and dirty, but if you care about that sort of thing then you’re unlikely to end up here anyway.
