Afterworks

People say that Geneva is terrible when it comes to the social scene and yes it is true. Bars are exorbitantly expensive and usually for bankers or after-work quick drinks. I long for the cheap and fantastic bar culture of Asia. It's about times things needs to be changed.

Recently there has been a montly event called "Afterworks". It's held at the art history museum (Musée d'art et d'histoire) and basically they turn the whole museum into a bar/social scene after hours. It's a great place for people to come together to join for a quick drink after work, plus you get to look around the museum. I've been to it twice already and I'm absolutely loving it. Dancing to a DJ in the hall where historical swords and arrows are displayed makes it much more interesting and change of scene. Plus how great is it to walk around the museum looking at art tipsy? I also love the fact that there's a different theme and various events going on the whole night. I am not sure how many more they are hosting but it's definitely worth a go for all of you who are sick and tired of the usual bland night life scene in Geneva.
