Best place in Chur
Wonderful place, amazing bar and fantastic drinks for everyone. For me the most amazing bar in Chur definitely. I recommend ! 😊
Be the first to Replydon't get your hopes up if you're a fan looking to step in the mind of Giger.
We were arriving at the Giger bar. We were basically just in an industrial park, like a bunch of office buildings everywhere, this is where they would come down to get lunch basically. Which is fine, I figured. Actually, being placed in such a random and unassuming place might be part of its charm. I was still pumping myself up for the excitement of stepping inside this place and being transported to another reality, a dark, twisted reality inside the mind of one of my favorite artists.
Nope. ‘Twas not to be. I may never have felt such abject disappointment in my life. This place didn’t look nearly as cool in person as it had in the clearly very carefully set up pictures online. Or maybe it was because I was visiting during the day that was a big part of the problem. But here’s the vibe. Two of the walls are just painted matte black but are otherwise flat. And the other two walls are floor-to-ceiling windows that are open and just pouring in light. It’s painfully obvious how everything is just made of cheap plastic. It’s an utterly unconvincing effect. It’s not like you’re in a bar set up on a crashed alien space craft. It’s like you’re in a cheap crappy bar that thought it would be cool to accent stuff everywhere with silly scary alien flourishes. A lot of stuff isn’t even on brand! There are like frigging tiki torch lights in there. A big screen TV. A robot spider mounted on the wall. And a frigging balsa wood T-Rex skeleton in the corner. In other words, stuff that superficially looks Gigeresque but is decidedly not Giger and thus is all the more off putting. Also, it’s completely empty, except for one pudgy old lady at the register, and her dog sitting on one of the chairs. They’re playing motown on the radio, and there’s a cheap auto-rotating white floor fan cooling them. She told me we could sit wherever we liked and take any pictures we liked. Politely I wandered for a bit, but there was nothing I wanted to take a picture of.
Well, there was one poster hanging on the wall with some mysterious sketches of Giger’s that I asked her about. But she didn’t even know what it was! Clearly she was just a person that worked there, not a fan of Giger.
She showed us the menu and suggested we get the Alien Blood mixed drink. But ingredients-wise it seemed really unappetizing, and honestly I wasn’t in the mood to try to have an experience here anymore. I just wanted to have one drink speedily and get the hell out of there. So Lauren got a radler and I got a beer. Though I did get a big one because this was Jurassic World levels of soul-crushing aesthetic disappointment I was experiencing and I needed some inebriated stupor to cope.
My firend had asked me to make sure to check out the restrooms for him. More of the same aesthetic problems on the placards for male and female. The male one was playing hockey for chrissakes.
Inside the mens room I was presented with a mirror at the urinal, so I had to look at my penis while I was peeing, which was weird. I mean, a lot of Giger’s work is extremely phallic. Maybe I would have appreciated this if the bar was otherwise well done.
As I was trying to finish my beer, the music seemed to be getting worse and worse and stranger and stranger, as if it was trying its hardest not to fit the Giger vibe. This reached its pinnacle when they played the Chariots of Fire theme. It’s hard to explain why this felt so perfectly wrong to me. Maybe it’s because Vangelis also did the Blade Runner music, which is not so off from Alien at all. I think Alexis would get it. Or maybe it’s because I actually deeply love the Chariots of Fire theme in and of itself and it has made me cry from time to time. Well, I teared up this time too, because it somehow seemed to redeem the situation. So disastrously, comically wrong, that it was shimmering and gorgeous. I guess it was a moment of pure existentialism. My partner couldn’t see the ridiculous play of emotions on my face under my face mask, but I probably looked deeply bewildered and enthralled at the same time.
Alien world
All the design is awesome. If you already know the work of HR Giger you will enjoy it even more. A 30' walk from downtown.
We went there at 9 am during the weekdays so only locals drinking coffee. I wonder if by night it has more ambiance.
The staff was very friendly (in German).
Nice but needs to be nearer the town
The bar is nice and staff are friendly, but the location is baffling. Why place in an industrial estate away from Chur old town and HR Giger place of birth?
The bar would be much better if it was in Chur town - I would have visited regularly during my trip. As it was so far from town I visited just the once.
Also the decor is not as comprehensive as the Giger Bar in Gruyeres.
Happy
The bar has lots of potential, however it’s hidden and in a quiet area. A bar sells booze. I’m English and staff don’t speak English but polite and smile. It is what you make it and to be fair, we was here on November 25th nothing really is open except shopping in the town! town hardly any restaurants or anything to do to be fair except madonalds so if ciger is open go and enjoy. Ignore previous account it is what you make it. An usual setting so enjoy xx
