Full bar, lots of beer and espresso for after. They have live music sometimes, but right now Johnny Winter's "Stone Cold Boogie" is playing on the sound system.

Bar is exactly that type of place. Hubby and I had a chance to have drinks here twice while in Lausanne. Both times our drinks were excellent.

I love the ambiance and music here; just the right mood for relaxing and having a good conversation. The seating here is very comfortable, and laid out thoughtfully to maximize the amount of privacy for each table. When the weather is nice, the terrace is open with outdoor seating. The service here is professional, friendly, and attentive. Now for the drinks: there's a huge selection, and anyone should be able to find something they like, including a lot of non-alcoholic options. Yes prices are ridiculously high, but it's Switzerland, and one of the nicest locations in the city.

Bar Tabac is a very nice bar/café/bistrot located near the St. Francois cathedral. What I like: The staff is very friendly, and the owner never misses a chance to give you hints on their selection of international beers (I specially appreciate the Belgian ones) or just make you laugh:). They also have a good selection of Tees and tapas. The decor looks a little old but that adds to the charm of the place. The place can host big and small groups which is convenient when you want to meet before going out. The crowd type depends on the time of the day, it can range from families, afterwork people, partygoers or students. The "can do better" prices are a bit steep, specially for the Tees and the place can be sometimes be a bit messy
