Geneva · Nightlife

The old Sardinian quarter has the density of bars the rest of Geneva lacks, in low houses set round courtyards. Tram 12 or 18 and then walk.

Behind the station and along the lake: the mixed, cheap and late end of the city, with bars, kebabs and the bathing pier's summer terrace.

A former factory on the Rhône run as an independent arts and music venue, with concerts, club nights and a bar. The cheapest door in Geneva by a distance.

The quays fill from six on any warm evening. Buying from a supermarket and drinking by the water is the only way to do this at a normal price.

A moored boat on the quay run as a bar and cultural space through the warm months, with a deck over the water.
