Güterhof

Northeastern Switzerland


This half-timbered building was once the goods depot for Rhine river-transport companies. Spilling out onto a lovely riverfront terrace, it's now a super-sleek combination of bar, cafe, restaurant and sushi bar. There's a roster of events, too, from live music to themed party nights and DJ sets; the website keeps you posted.
