The bars at Kleine Scheidegg, including the rocking teepee tent,
and the Lauberhorn bar by the start of the downhill are the main
on-mountain spots, with the prospect of the long descent, either to
Grindelwald or Wengen at the end of play.
Of the three villages, Grindelwald has the most action by a long
shot. This should be your base if nightlife is important to you.
There are 7 bars in Grindelwald, many of them in hotels.
The tiny Espresso Bar in the Hotel Spinne is always crowded. Loud
music and a lot of beer, with a friendly atmosphere – the perfect
meeting place after boarding or skiing. Nearby is a large plastic tent
that thumps out après ski music. More sedate is the Gepsi Bar in the
Hotel Eiger – cosy, with comfortable sofas and live music in high
season. The C&M is a café and restaurant in a wooden chalet towards
the 'First' end of town, ideal on your way home after skiing this side
of the resort. The Hotel Central Wolter has a café-bar with outside
tables and chairs from which you can watch the world go by. Later into
the evening two of the best nightclubs are the Mescalero (Hotel Spinne)
and the Plaza (Hotel Sunstar).
