Brasserie 17 is a pub-style bar and eatery at Rosenstrasse 17 in the centre of Interlaken, in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. It sits a short walk from Interlaken West station and the pedestrian streets that link the two railway stations, which makes it a convenient first or last stop for travellers staying in the town. The venue combines a daytime cafe role with an evening pub role: the listed hours run from 8:30 AM to 12:30 AM Monday to Saturday, while Sunday service starts later, at 4:30 PM, and also closes at 12:30 AM. Hours change by season, so the venue's phone number, +41 33 822 32 25, is the safest way to confirm opening times. The crowd is mixed. Adventure-sport visitors in town for paragliding, canyoning and Jungfrau-region excursions mix with local regulars and groups of friends who come to watch football, ice hockey and other televised sport on the screens. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, and there is no formal dress code; ordinary casual travel clothing is the norm. The age range is broad, from young backpackers to older couples, and the terrace draws a lot of the warm-weather trade. Music is kept at conversation level rather than clubbing volume, so the venue suits an early evening drink rather than dancing. The drinks programme centres on draught and bottled beer, including Swiss lagers, alongside wine, spirits and standard cocktails. The kitchen serves international pub-style food, which allows visitors to combine dinner and drinks in one place. Prices fall in the mid range for Interlaken, where a beer typically costs around CHF 6 to 8 and a main course roughly CHF 20 to 30. No cover charge is normally associated with this type of venue, and reservations are generally only worth making for larger groups or on busy sport evenings; phone ahead in that case. Bottle service is not part of the offer. Late opening until 12:30 AM makes it one of the more dependable options in the town centre on weeknights, when many Interlaken venues close earlier, and the terrace is the main draw in summer.
