An alternative cultural center that is self-managed, l’Usine gathers associations and collectivities in an old factory. In 1998, it was officially renamed l’Usine (The Factory) and became the place for Geneva’s nightlife. A Warhol attitude sometimes emerges. You can enjoy a variety of gigs at l’Usine, from reggae, to house, to hip-hop ; and even shows and exhibitions.

This restaurant bar is all about tradition, served with a smile. Do pay attention to details: taste the local milk in the mozzarella or the burrata, think of the dough kneaded by hand on a floured surface while eating the paccheri, witness how the deli meat is sliced right in front of you. At the end of a long working day, enjoy Italy’s cocktail stars such as the Spirtz Aperol or Campari, the Americano, the Negroni, to name only a few, served with a selection of cheese and finger food; do not forget to try the wine!
