Bar du Nord
Bar du Nord, one of Carouge’s oldest, was known in the ’90s for its beach (yes, imported sand feature) and is now a stylish bar stuffed with Bauhaus-inspired furniture, the best whisky selection in town and a small courtyard terrace out back. It’s young, trendy, unpredictable. Best nights are Thursday and Friday with good music, DJs, lots of electro.

Le Palais Mascotte
Le Palais Mascotte, closed for over 10 years, was reopened as a resto–cabaret bar for over 30s. It has a great atmosphere, quite selective. A restaurant is on the top floor; cabaret, ’70s and ’80s music on the ground floor; and concert followed by ’90s music in the basement club, Le Zazou. Good fun!

Grub ranges from fully fledged mains (Sfr15 to Sfr20) to snack-attack salads, bruschetta and so on and happenings include art exhibitions, Saturday-night DJs and bands.

La Bretelle
Little has changed since the 1970s when this legendary bar opened. The Strap is just the place to tune into a good old accordion-accompanied French chanson. Indeed, there’s live music most nights.

Bypass
The Carouge spot to mingle, rub shoulders and chink verres with Genevan socialites. In the words of a reliable source: ‘Friday cheese, Saturday serious dance music’.
