Les Brasseurs is a brewpub at Place de Cornavin 20 in Geneva, Switzerland, directly opposite Cornavin railway station. It pours its own house-brewed beers and works as a bar late into the evening, making it one of the most convenient drinking spots for travellers arriving or leaving by train. The crowd is varied: commuters, tourists, office workers on the way home, groups of friends and students, mostly aged twenty to fifty. The atmosphere is bustling and informal, with a large room that can absorb groups and a busy, social energy on Friday and Saturday evenings. Dress is casual, and no door policy applies. Music is typically background pop and rock, and the focus remains on the beer and conversation. The drinks programme centres on the house brews, usually a range of lagers, wheat beers and seasonal styles, with the usual wines, spirits and soft drinks also served. Prices follow the $$ rating, with a beer commonly costing around CHF 6 to 9, which is reasonable for Geneva's centre. Opening hours are listed as daily until late, and visitors should check current hours since closing times differ by day, with Friday and Saturday usually the latest. Weekday after-work hours bring a steady crowd, while quieter periods occur in mid-afternoon and later on Sunday evenings. No cover charge applies, and there is no bottle service or guest list. Reservations are generally not required for small parties, though groups may wish to ask ahead for large tables, particularly on weekend evenings. The location on Place de Cornavin provides easy access to tram and bus lines and to the Pâquis district, where pubs such as Black Sheep and The Crowned Eagle offer alternatives for continuing the evening. The brewpub also suits visitors who want to sample locally brewed beer without travelling far from the station.
