Description: This was a great bar. Located in the upper level of an old building, Peri Bar is a happening place jammed with young, successful Swiss men and women. The bartenders were busy and each thought I was crazy to order Vodka and soda. They really didn't understand what I wanted so I ended up with a shot of vodka and a bottle of Perrier - which did the job. The Swiss have a reputation for being reserved but we found just the opposite. Outgoing, well educated and talkative, we truly enjoyed the people we met at the Peri Bar. It was interesting to glimpse the Swiss singles scene. There were good looking men everywhere, but there were not even half as many women. The guys said the women just don't go out to bars too much. I wondered how they meet each other and date if the women stay home all of the time. But in a town of only 40,000 they said they already know everyone in their age group and category. Besides, the pressure to marry is just not there like it is in the US, many thirty somethings had never been married and we really unconcerned about making plans to do so.
