A
Hooters
Yes, it’s part of a chain and, yes, the girls in hot pants and too-tight tank tops make feminists rant, but – ooh er, missus – Hooters remains popular. It serves beer, big-screen sports and fine Jungfrau views from the terrace, though most punters seem to have their eyes fixed on bumps of a different kind…

Penthouse
This is a ritzy rooftop lounge where, despite great views over Lucerne, the eye-candy crowd are busier discreetly checking each other out. On the ground floor is the swanky and popular Pravda nightclub (open Wednesday to Saturday), where top DJs spin everything from bootylicious R&B to house anthems.

Buddy’s Pub
Pull up a stool, order a draft Rugenbräu or a ‘sex on the mountain’ (for want of a beach) cocktail and enjoy a natter with the locals. Switzerland’s first pub is loud, smoky and convivial.

Opera Club
Housed in a former cinema, the Opera Club has kept its theatrical feel in the scarlet drapes and floor-length gilt mirrors. DJs keep the dance floor rammed with grooves from hip-hop to electro.

Marilyn Bar
A shrine to the silver screen diva, this gallery-style bar’s chilli-red walls are smothered in photos of Ms Monroe. It’s a relaxed place for pre-clubbing drinks.
