About

Positioned in the historic old town of Bern, Rathaus Bar delivers a delightful mix of modern and classic ambiance, offering a front-row seat to the splendid Rathausplatz with a view of the majestic 500-year-old cathedral. Known for its vibrant nightlife and cozy cafe setting, this bar is a haven for those seeking a relaxed atmosphere accompanied by attentive service. The menu brims with European delights, including a fine selection of cheeses, sausages, and the popular mixed apero plättli, perfectly complemented by a vast array of cocktails, wines, and freshly brewed coffee.

Despite a temporary requirement for cash payments due to a credit card acceptance issue, the bar still shines with its moderate pricing and great value for money. Guests can enjoy live music or unwind on the outdoor seating area with their pets. The staff is passionate and knowledgeable, particularly attentive to gluten-free dietary needs. Recent renovations and an ownership change have injected new energy into the place, making it an excellent choice for lunch or dinner.

Whether you're there for a refreshing alcohol-free beer or to savor the local seafood specialties, Rathaus Bar stands ready to provide an unforgettable experience in one of Bern's most charming locations.

Found this gem after a long morning sightseeing and enjoyed a lovely charcuterie board and delicious beer on the back courtyard with the public fountains. Charming setting, delicious food (generous serving) and the waiter was great! A real find.
