Zsa-zsa Bern
The smallest bar in town
Sarah from Bern
In my opinion, Zsa-zsa Bar has its home in one of the most beautiful streets in Bern's old town: the Brunngasse. The alley is centrally located, yet quiet. Just like Zsa-zsa Bar.
Perhaps the smallest bar in Bern, it has room for a very limited group of people (I would say a maximum of fifteen) and has a wide range of alcoholic beverages in its repertoire. They serve wine and beer as well as cocktails.
You can make yourself comfortable at the bar, in a lounge or outside in the quiet alley. In summer I like to sit outside in front of the bar until it gets too cold.
The pleasant light and homely atmosphere harmonize well with the sea-inspired decoration. Small shells, starfish and sand are lovingly positioned. The atmosphere invites you to a cosy evening in a small circle. However, the bar is not suitable for talking about very personal topics. It is just too small not to listen. :)

The owner (from California) wanted to bring yummy, healthy Californian-Mexican soul food from back home to Switzerland. And let me tell you, he did!

Bursting Tree Mural
Reclaim The City
Nature is claiming back the city - a powerful image. The mural was painted by Paul Stämpfli in 1987, way before the world was discussing climate change.

Tram Nr. 8
Go West!
Hop on "Tram Nr. 8" at the main station for a 25min ride through the post-war urban planning history of Bern. It gets interesting around Europaplatz...

Kopflos
Mind the step
"Kopflos" ('headless') at Casinoplatz in Bern is my favourite piece of art in the city's public space. I love its four fingers!

Chindlifresser
Free drinks
"Chindlifresser" in Bern is a gruesome 500-year-old statue of a 'child-eater', but it's also one of my favorite cold-water providers in the whole city!

Zytglogge-Pissoir
One for the boys
"Zytglogge-Pissoir" in Bern is a place for gents to pee around the clock on the medieval watchtower. Where else can you pee on a 500-y.o UNESCO site?

"La Chouette" Bern is a small, cozy, woody restaurant that makes the best crepes around! Make sure to try both sweet & salty! Open until late on weekends.

Kreissaal
Late Night Cocktails
Their house specialties "Black Cuban" (a rum coffee cocktail) and "Fado" (port wine and whiskey) are worth spoiling yourself for.

Trallala
Where The Wild Wines Are
I especially like that they have about a dozen bottles by the glass and that they offer you to try several wines before you settle for a good drop.
