Decent shisha but not really a place with a lot of atmopshere: Hookah Bar Le Tube (25. March 2023)
It wasn’t all too easy to find a shisha place, which was still open, close to my hotel, but luckily, there was one right next to it. The Le Tube is basically a very simple place, which offers “double apple shisha” (75.00 AED). And it’s functional. I mean, the shisha is okay, the prices are […]
Quite an outstanding shisha in a simple place: Marbaiya Café (18. March 2023)
Since the Grosvenor House doesn’t offer shisha on premise until like 7pm, I decided to look for a place which is close and found the Marbaiya Café, which offers “double apple shisha” (89.00 AED), which was exquisite. It’s smooth, doesn’t harm throat. Now, what could be better is the service, since you have to actively […]
Great drinks in a superb atmosphere: Dali’s Bar (11. March 2023)
Somehow, I have never heard of the Dali’s Bar, which is quite surprising, since the bar is actually quite exquisite. The place is simple yet atmospheric, hence, absolutely worth visiting. That being said, it’s key to book your table in advance, as there are not too many tables. At first, the service was swift, but […]
Lovely wine bar to spend an afternoon with good gin and board games: Wine & Bar Lounge @ Hotel Belvédère (2. March 2023)
Since the weather that day was far from amazing, it was time to take a little break from spending time on the slopes, and hit the Wine & Bar Lounge of the Hotel Belvédère. The place is super nice since you have a nice view onto the mountains, it’s inside, so you don’t get to […]
Quite okay, but they could definitely work on their service: Karel Korner (18. February 2023)
It’s about two years ago since I’ve last been to Karel Korner and nothing much has changed. They are still serving nice drinks in relatively uneventful but appealing surroundings. I went for the “Apricot Chic! (Humbel Wodotschka Vodka, Morand Apricot Liquor, Tessiner Risotto-Horchata, Apricots from Valais, Sexy Bitters)” (CHF 17.00), which was looking nicer than […]
A quiet spot during the carnival period: Das weisse Schaf (18. February 2023)
When you’re going to Lucerne during carnival, it is not easy to find a place, which is kind of peaceful and quiet. Das weisse Schaf (the white sheep) is exactly that though – peaceful and quiet. To start with, I went for the “Mexicana (Don Julio Blanco Tequila, Cointreau orange liquor, mango purée, orange juice, […]
Amazing atmosphere for a nice sunset drink: Jetty Lounge (4. February 2023)
The Jetty Lounge at the One&Only is quite a find. I mean, it’s not really a secret place, but it’s also not one you ‘just walk into’, since you need to pass the entry gates of the One&Only Royal Mirage, and they only let you in if you know the place behind. The atmosphere is […]
A nice place for a good night shisha: Upyard Rooftop Lounge @ Courtyard by Marriott Al Barsha, Dubai (2. February 2023)
Whenever I’m in Dubai, it seems almost like a given that I end up at some Marriott property. Not even intentionally, but it keeps happening. The Upyard Rooftop Lounge offers nice shisha in a relatively decent setting. I went for the “double apple shisha” (75.00 AED), which was good, but far from the best I’ve […]
