Fer a Cheval

As Apres moves from off the slopes down in to the centre of Verbier the Fer a Cheval kicks into life. The Fer a Cheval not only attracts holiday makers but also the locals. If you are looking to find somewhere to sit and have a quiet drink this isn’t the place to go, you will struggle to find a table. The atmosphere is buzzing. There is also a downstairs restaurant if you fancy a bite to eat after après ski. The menu ranges from pizza to salads.

King’s and Crok No Name

If you are looking for a more cocktail-orientated environment, both these bars are a good starting point. King’s is a quiet candle-lit cellar bar with 60’s decor, with good music. Crok No Name is a cool bar with live bands. These are the places to go to if you are looking for a more relaxing drink, rather than one of the many boisterous bars. 

 

The Casbah

If you are still up for dancing, then you should head to the Casbah. A club split into two rooms (the cas bah and the rok bah) this is where both seasonnaires and visitors to the resort hang out and dance to cheesy rock and pop. Both rooms are decorated in the same tented North African Bedouin style, with booths that can be reserved. Beers start at 9chf and long drinks from 15chf. It attracts a younger crowd than the farm club (mainly those in their twenties and early thirties). Open 11pm-4am. 

 

Farm Club

A Verbier institution and the single most famous nightclub in the Alps- famous, that is, for its outrageously high prices. The Farm club retains its crown as Verbier's most expensive playground where the resort's most glamorous visitors and residents come to party.  Expensive with bottles of spirits starting at 250chf, bottles of champagne at 220chf and long drinks at 20chf. There's no entrance fee but book a table as it's the only way to ensure entry.  Located on the Rte de Verbier on the right-hand side of the road as you head away from Place Centrale. Open 11pm-4am.
