Folie isn't my brand of Apres vodka so only visited briefly. Still the same - €7 for €3 of beer, unpleasantly loud beats, and the MCs keep calling everyone a "Motherf**ker" which isn't very polite. Once change is the new extension canopy over the VIP area which acts as a very effective sun screen to the punters deck, so it's a lot colder then I remember from last time... Personally, I prefer Cafe Face down in Val for some essential apres rehydration.
On the upside the canteen/restaurant at the Follie was very nice, but cheaper over at La Datcha, towards the Glacier.

Hi Richard
Thanks for the reminder of Cafe Face - we were there last time too, much more civilised and where the locals hung out too IIRC.
We will still probably indulge in a spot of people watching at Folie whilst getting abused by the MC before heading back to town and chilled apres.
Cheers

Can anyone recommend a bar where I will find the Six Nations Rugby on TV? The Ireland v England game is on while I am there.

Hmm. Not sure I am going to fit in there. Age not girth.

@Richard_Sideways, that's ironic, seeing as they're run by the same crew. Chilled apes vibes in the Blue Note & Alexandra, the latter having a couple of decent pool tables.

@Dr John, we go there because of the cheap beer and proximity to where we stay. Plus I've yet to be called a a motherf**ker by anyone there... Plus there was a fellow there accompanying the DJ on a cello, which was nice.

@Richard_Sideways, I'm in agreement my friend. I like the escalating beer prices (are they still doing that?), but if you stick around there too long you get the FD crew coming off the hill and the whole place turns into Tw@t soup.

For the cheapest on slope meals in Val try the Marmottes restaurant - by the lift of the same name in the Toviere valley or the Cascades in Le Fornet - run by the same people - good value fuel but nothing fancy - if that's what you want. The Aspen in Val Claret is also good as are the Croques at the Rosée Blanche in La daille.

Had good lunch a few weeks ago in the restaurant at the top of the Solaise, decent service and food, sensible prices.

@Dr John, Normally back at the hotel by then, but yes the beer escalator is still running...

The Folie Douce is awesome! I love it.
There's a new apres bar which looks good called Cocorico. It's near the nursery slopes.
Moris pub in town is great (live music) and if you want a late one it has to be Dick's T Bar!

You know it makes sense.
|

I'm with @HoneyBunny, dicks t bar is great. Beer pong at the end of the day! We actually didn't make it to the folie when we were there but it still looked good. Cocorico had some good apres music on and Cafe Face was good for drinks and snacks with prices on a sliding scale.

@HoneyBunny, that's the old Banana Bar (I think), risen pheonix-like from the ashes.

The Folie Douce looks really really bad.I like lively bars and clubs etc but it just looks really corny.Dance music for people that don't like Dance music like David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia.Anywhere that has idiot's constantly shouting over microphones is a no no.

@FullyTucked, You either love it or hate it. I love it, and I love Swedish House Mafia!!
It's the best apres place ever! (And I'm in Ischgl right now!)

XV on the main street. As you might guess from the name they are quite keen on rugby, but you won't get a look in if there is a French game 
It's a couple of hundred metres from the roundabout in the centre of town heading towards La Daille on the RHS, quite small timber frontage.

@holidayloverxx, @ianwal, Thank you. I will head to either of those bars on Sunday 1 March and see if we can get in. Hopefully everyone else will be in Folie.

Agree if you love the music then love it and just enjoy it, don't shout over it.... Tiesto et al hardly call everyone MotherFu**ers every 10 seconds...
