Default Bars in Geneva, Switzerland

Can anyone recommend good bars / pubs or Belgian beer cafes in Geneva
Switzerland? I'm traveling there on business for a week beginning
August 28th.

Thanks,
Dave

A "good bar" is hard to find in Geneva. Go to the Carouge section. My
favorite is the Cafe des Amis, mostly because it has live music, jazz
and whatever, on Friday but not during the summer. The beer is cheap and
it has a mature and crazy crowd.

There is one place in Geneva proper, up on the hill in Vielle Ville at
Place du Bourg-du-Four I believe. After work and well into the evening
it has a good crowd at the outdoor tables. It's also nice on a warm
Sunday morning.

Be careful of getting the right change in the other bars in Carouge.
Announce the bill you are giving the bartender, e.g. "Here's 20 Franks,"
or you are likely to get shortchanged.
