The Great Escape is one of the most reliably busy bars in the Flon district, with a long terrace that fills up from early evening and a relaxed atmosphere that suits both a quick beer after work and a longer night. The music stays at a level where you can still talk, which distinguishes it from the louder clubs nearby.
The drinks list is straightforward — Swiss and European beers, decent wines, straightforward cocktails. It stays open until 4am on weekends, making it one of the later options in the Flon. The crowd is mixed: students, office workers, and tourists in roughly equal numbers.
