A visit to Switzerland is not complete without attending a Swiss folklore show. It is a very touristy thing to do, but in Switzerland, you must experience the song and dance of the Alpine region. In Lucerne, there are a few establishments which put up the Swiss folklore show complete with a typical Swiss fondue dinner. The Stadtkeller in the Old Town is one of the more famous establishments. Start off the evening with a delicious dinner of Swiss fondue and rosti accompanied by fine Swiss wines. The Swiss folklore show consists of yodelling, alpine horn blowing and flag throwing.
Dress Code: Smart casual. Reservations are essential.

Actually the brewery is more a restaurant than a bar/club. But if you plan to have a long night, this place might be perfect for the "warmup". The Brewery has his own beer (very delicious!) and several good meals.
Old and young, poor and rich people sit next to each other and enjoy the friendly mood around the Chapelbridge and the Reuss river.

One of the most enjoyable and biggest nightclubs of Lucerne. First of all, the Schüür has a big comfortable outside-area (with seats, a drink-bar, lounge, table football and a pool with a water wheel).
It includes also a bar inside of the spot where several DJ's play different music and enough space to dance.
Last but not least, it has a concert room(including one more bar) where different Artists from all over the world show their liveskills. This room is also used for partys.
Keep getting informed what kind of party is getting on - there are a lot of completly different parties/events - from British(brit-pop/rock night), to electro meets indie clash, to Hotshots (hiphop - !very young age present!), to 80s party, to readings. They have the right programm for everyone!

If you are interested to enjoy the saturday evening. Than you have to go to the Casineum. It's the place to be. The music is every saturday different. It depends what kind of party it is. It goes from Electronic, Partytunes, House to R&B.
If you are lucky, you got access to the memberzone. It's a nice gallery where you can go out to a balcon. You have a nice view over the lake of lucerne.

This is the place where all the youngsters in Lucerne go for their weekend entertainment. I found the atmosphere to be good and the music modern. The drinks are slightly more expensive than in the pub as you might expect.
Dress Code: No special requirements.

Lucerne is a city where it is easy and safe to walk about. When you see Lucerne by daylight, it is a thriving and active commercial and tourist center. People are busy hurrying along in their lives.
But at night, the charm of Lucerne is aglow and the mellow tones of ancient buildings bathed in amber-colored lights beckon your hidden romantic senses and create an ambiance that is calming and peaceful.
Go on, walk about, and let your senses enjoy some freedom from the hubbub of everyday life. Breathe in the brisk mountain and lake air. Listen to the river rush past the ancient bridge pilings on its way to its fate many miles away. Watch the couples strolling and enjoying the night together. Listen to the laughter of happy teenagers as they congregate to socialize. Listen to all of the various night sounds as they sooth your weary soul and reenergize your depleted energy reserves.
Lucerne can do it, try it!
Dress Code: Casual at night unless you are going to a really nice restaurant and/or nightclub.

Luzern’s nightlife scene is active, with plenty of arts centres and music venues around the Old Town and the rest of the city. There are two places to check flyers: Doo-Bop, Brandgässli 8, is a dance music shop with plenty of information about events in Luzern; while Romp, Denkmalstrasse 17, is an “info-shop” at the centre of Luzern’s squat culture, with music, flyers and contacts for all kinds of alternative activities around and about. The Stattkino, Baselstrasse 15, is an arthouse cinema with a varied daily programme of world cinema, plenty of it in English.

Right next to the Trainstation you ll find in the Building that also keeps the MacDonalds, about 4 Bars/Clubs wher there are a lot of young People at weekends havin a good time.
The ROADHOUSE is a EnglishBar where there ar often Live Music. Quite Popular at the Moment.
P1 is in the Penthouse of the Hotel and gives an amazing view over the city ant the Lake. Also often LiveMusic. Go to the Lobby of the Hotel and take the lift up to the Top.
SCHAF/MAX ar also quite Popular and well crowded at weekends. My favorites out of these 4.
All this clubs charge no entry fee and the prices for the beers and drinks are if you compare with other clubs quite low.
Dress Code: normal or a little bit chiq. Streetstyle-Hiphoppers are rarely seen as well as punks and stuff like that.

Lucerne is a wonderful city for strolling and wondering about, and the best time to do it is at night, when it's all lit up. You should walk the pedestrain area and then head down for the riverside: with the lights it feels like you've landed in a fairytale. A walk not to miss is across the chapel bridge: you'll often find several excellent street musicians performing there.
Dress Code: Anything - but possibly dressed

By the time I had walked to the hostel twice, all round town, on top of a mountain, round town again and eaten, I was not feeling like the world's most energized party goer. I decided to do something more relaxing and decided to head for a wine bar. Unfortunately the first one was closed so I tried out the second which was across the bridge from most of the restaurants. I would recommend going there if you are in the same mood and want a relaxing atmosphere, it was really nice with seats outside to watch the sunset. (Name to follow). They do a great lemon sorbet topped with limoncello liquer! After that (against my better judgement as I try to avoid noisy drunken British tourists on holidays) I popped over to the British pub/hotel which wasn't that bad and had a small beer. That was the end of my Lucerne nightlife as by the time I got back to the hostel I was so exhausted I didn't get further than the common room downstairs.
