Stumbled into this place just walking around. We had two of their beers, sitting at a picnic table…read morenext to the river. There's some comments about them not being fond of tourists, but we had no issues. Maybe we're just friendly, idk, they seemed delighted we were enjoying their beer, and I could have sat there all afternoon in the shade. A real gem. Has the feel of someone turning their barn into a handout with local art and patrons. Didn't find it any more expending than anything else.

I'm sitting in the bar right this moment and not one, but two separate bartenders (men) told me…read morethis bar is "for locals" and they don't have menu's in anything other than Swiss-German and I could "use my phone" to translate. They also made it clear the food here, at what for all intensive purposes looks like a dive-bar back in the USA, does not sale "bar food." Apparently, their cook is high-class so don't come looking for fries or pizza (for example today the dish is "curry" which can be made vegetarian friendly).

You would be wrong to assume that Moods is only about Jazz depending on the act of the evening, the…read moreMoods branches out its musical feelers from New Orleans Swing to Reggaeton in a perfect setting, small enough to be cozy, yet not crowded and within the jaw-droppingly amazing building of the Schiffbau! Have dinner in the main Hall (what an architecture) before or a drink in the Nieturmbar (what a view) afterwards -or both, it'll be a memorable evening!

Great lil venue. Ideal for intimate atmostphere. I was without effort three rows from the stage, as…read moreif the band was playing in my living room. And it probably was in my head....
