Bern Nightlife
The Bernese like to party, and nightlife options accordingly run the gamut from plush velvet seating and Belle Epoque refinement to jazz lounges, casual sidewalk bars, and plugged-in clubs where DJs spin the latest. Bärenplatz and Kornhausplatz bubble over with revelers on summer evenings; many restaurants transition into bars as the night wears on.
