When I visited they had a great live free-style hip-hop, show put on by two guys from Berlin. The show was top-notch, the sound great, and the crowd was well mixed and hopping. Strange to be at a live hip-hop show and not a brother there to representing the black man, but whatever. Since there was a live show, there was a 14 CHF cover which I though was worth every cent. Drink prices where also quite reasonable, costing 6ish CHF for mixed drinks and wine. The people working there where very laid back and friendly. Worth noting here is when you order vodka, they will not understand you unless you pronounce it vood-ka, but maybe they where just giving the foreigner some shit. :) The location is stumbling distance from the Hardbrüke station, nice to know when it is pissing rain. Over all I highly recommend Helsinki as a drinking and live music venue.

It was packed and we saw numerous people turned away. This restaurant is a two-person show - a husband and wife team. The wife is the chef and the husband does everything else from seating guests, taking the orders, fixing the drinks, serving the dishes and cleaning the tables...WOW!!! We ordered so much food. It was like a four-course tasting menu for two. Our selection consisted of the Hariri; Chicoree Orangen Salat; Gerostteter Blumenkohl; and Schweinebauch, Wilder Brokkoli, Kkarttooffel Wasabi Puree. The Harira arrived. It was a small bowl of Moroccan soup with a mixture of small pieces of vegetables in a delicious broth. The Orange Salad with endive lettuce was perfect with a nice topping of pecorino cheese. The third tasting of Roasted Cauliflower with a spicy sauce was delivered. Didn't know how I was going to like this dish because cauliflower is not one of my favorites. It was delicious. The last taste little dish arrived and it was another beauty - perfectly cooked pieces of pork belly with wasabi mashed potatoes with a bit of broccolini. Four excellent dished. Nothing left and no room dessert...next time and there will be a next time. Loved all of the tastes. Excellent service. Beautiful presentation. A great homey feel to the restaurant. Highly recommend making a reservation.

Super Slick yet Simple // Relaxed Atmosphere // Young Guests…read moreMe and my friends have been spending a few days every season at the Riders Palace in Laax for the last 3 years. The young crowd and the simple and informal setup is very inviting if you're not looking for the formalities of a regular hotel. The design of the building and the rooms is very slick yet simple and comfortable, something typically Swiss in my opinion. They also have a bar in the ground floor and a club in the basement. On the weekends the bar tends to get crowded because usually there is live music in the club and people commute between the two. The 360 rooms are equivalent to the RP middle class and tend to be around CHF 75 / person and night which is probably the cheapest private room you'll find in Laax. Here you have 3 beds and a sofa or a fatboy, as well as a TV, a private shower, sink, and a toilet, all of which are separate. The rooms are very comfortable and safe due to multiple cardreaders you need to pass to access a room. They have 2 large rooms in the basement where guests can store and dry their boards and gear, as well as a storage room where you can keep your luggage if you wanna go boarding/skiing on your last day or before you can check in. This room has a shower and towels as well which is very very useful. My Dislikes: The parties get really noisy and the bass makes your bed vibrate if your room is close to the club. The toilets have no proper ventilation so that RP decided to cut off the top and bottom 10cm of the door which can lead to very uncomfortable situations if you know what I mean. IMO the prices are a bit too high considering you don't even get a proper breakfast.

Another night was open mic night & the guy who ran it sang and played guitar like a dream. If you're looking for a spot that speaks English, and want a chill vibe, check this bar out.

Drinks: They have a pretty small beer selection - like most places in Zurich, they only have a few different beers on tap. Food: the food is actually pretty good for pub food - go with one of the burgers or a club sandwich if you are hungry, or some nachos or potato wedges for just a snack. Pricing: The food is very reasonably priced (for Zurich) but the drinks are a bit on the expensive side 7-9 CHF for a half liter beer.
