Most people agree, there is a lack of clubs in Geneva. Anyway, parties are organized in various locations. One of them is Uptown, a cinema that became a spot for shows and parties.

You dance in front of a cinema screen, sometimes with projections. According to the parties seats are used for wardrobe… an interesting place! I have enjoyed really good music there but there is a lack of people and atmosphere on the dance floor most of the times I went. As the place is quite expensive to rent, the organizers often overprice the entrance ticket…

Check the website for more information, some parties are not mentioned on this website though.

Les Scalas is one of the last independent cinemas in Geneva. Right in the middle of the Eaux-Vives, it has the particularity to show tons of little movies from many different countries around the world. Many huge film lovers prefer this place over imposing giant movie theatres built by huge companies.

The fidelity card (CHF 30.00 year) permits everyone to see every movie for only CHF 10.00 (and when you know that a ticket for a movie costs CHF 17.00, it’s really worth it!) in every independent cinema every day for every show. That is one more good reason to choose these kinds of cinemas and support them.
