La Petite Reine - Genève

I had no idea that Geneva approached an alternative scene at all, so was pleasantly surprised to find this place. There is an excellent choice of beers, some of which are made on the grounds or especially for them. You also have a good choice of snaps and other ghosts. Will definitely come back when I'm in Geneva.

Cool place with a very young crowd. Also the location is convenient as it is located directly behind the station. This place is a small house converted into a bar, so there is an original feeling. I definitely recommend... although I don't have a fan of their deposit policy on glasses and bottles and bar service need to be improved in terms of speed or add more employees.

Fun, young and alternative crowd, but also very mixed. You'll see anyone from suits and ties fresh from work to rastas tokeing in the corner. Right behind Geneva main station, this is a welcome break from the more upscale norm. It's a small place so...seating is at a premium, but you just circle around tables like a vulture and pounce when one frees up. Small selection of beers and ales on tap, and a selection of bottles brews. Indispensable addition to Geneva social life: long may she reine.

Located in front of Geneva's train station, la Petite Reine is the perfect place for having a quick drink before taking a train or a bus, and also for any random all-night celebration. The staff is as friendly and easy-going as the bar's regular customers...(who happen to form a big family), and is more than keen on welcoming locals and expats; la PR is actually one of the very rare place in Geneva where the city's international and local communities really meet.

La Petite Reine is another place I like to checkout when I'm in Geneva. Located on the back of Cornavin Central Station, this festive and first-class location attracts a variety of customers. During my visit it was a hot day and the terrace... Spots began to fill quickly. Some tables are protected with awning or a few parasols; Otherwise, you need to be in the sun for yourself. Inside there are some stools at the bar, while on the upper floor there are only a few seats in the room. The staff is welcoming and friendly, the place offers Wi-Fi and immaculate toilets for customers.
