Debauchery , Switzerland. Bars, bars, and more bars! If you know me, you know I love a good cocktail bar. Not just any bar, though⦠I prefer places with character that locals love to frequent. While searching for the best Lugano nightlife, I stumbled upon several bars that were unique, atypical, and favored by the locals. Want to taste the tropics in the middle of Switzerland? This cocktail and sushi bar has tons of personality and the atmosphere to prove it.
Open until the wee hours of the night Friday and Saturday only , this lounge is a fusion of Peru and Japan with unique cocktails and mind-blowing food. Also, I want to mention that they have beer bongs available⦠yes, you heard that right. If you want to experience the Lugano nightlife with some extra oomph, you need to visit Lugangeles.
Bar Oops is a tiny place with big character. This bar is casual, small, and unpretentious. It has a cozy and slightly weird atmosphere, vegan food options, and live music throughout the week. The side of the bar is also covered in Polaroid pictures to add to the retro ambiance. A post shared by bar oops baroops. Also, the wall of the bar is covered in currency from around the world β I love little touches like that.
They offer traditional Irish fare, including Irish whiskey and Guinness duh! Who knew that was a thing? This establishment also offers wine and a delicious food and pastry menu. It can get quite crowded, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, so be prepared for that. They have a full bar, and outdoor seating, and even live music to pleasure your eardrums. This Italian establishment is dark and brooding on the inside major speakeasy vibes yet modern and decorated to the Nth degree with appropriately placed foliage.
The bar is a massive section of the restaurant with couches, dark modern decor, and wine cabinets around every turn. In addition, Vitti offers a wide variety of authentic Italian dishes and also tons of cheeses and pastries. This place stands out as sheer decadence in the Lugano nightlife scene. If you know of some kick-ass, elegant, or elevated bars in the Lugano region to add to the list, please share!
