I am going to Zermatt this weekend with some friends and would like some advice on best places to go for a drink / food in the evening. Any uptodate ideas? Thanks Kate

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

kv, this January, the Hennu Stall attracted a crowd on the village run down from Furi, the Papperla Pub near the Kirchbrucke is busy at apres time, later on the Scheewittchen club in the basement for pumping beats and late night partying into the wee hours.
The Hotel Post is a good place for a quiet drink, live Jazz in the club later, a bit more for the mature clientele. The Vernissage is supposed to be a stylish spot but I didn't try it.
North Wall Bar and Sparky's are where the seasonnaires hang out for cheap beers.
The Stockhorn Grill got good reviews for traditional swiss fondues and meat dishes from fellow travellers but there are loads of restaurants in Zermatt.
Chez Vrony and Zum See are seriously nice mountain restaurants and don't forget Chalet Etoile on the Cervinia side.

There is a great ski down which runs to a lift system which feeds the main train up the mountain from the village. We did a ski/crawl including a couple of champers bars on the way down that run. It was great fun. On the other side of Zermatt the ski run down to near the gondola there is a pub which was busy and had good music. It may be the one mentioned above. We got smashed and skiied the rest of the way down (not very far) to the bus stop then got the bus to the centre of town.

In town Papperla, Sparkys, North Wall Bar, and Z'Atl Hischi are good. Grampi's is worth a look in once or twice to see Marco but Drinks are a bit more expensive. The Broken under the hotel post is open until about 4am.
On the slope, Hennu Stall, Othmars Hut, Olympia Stubli and Cervo all have live music at different times of the season.
Restaurants on the slope - Zum See, Chez Vrony, Blatten, Fluhalp, Chalet Etoile (cervinia), all worth the extra bit of cash.
Restaurants in resort - we had a large group meal at Sparkys. Very reasonably priced and pretty tasty Thai currys. Some members of the group went to Stockhorn Grill and rated it highly.
If you are there while the 6 nations is on we watched it in The Pipe (just down the road from Papperla) and the had drinks deals on during the game. Potters bar near the station will also be showing it and shows the football if that is of importance.
There is also a very nice bar opposite Sparkys called Bar 55 in the Firefly hotel. Has a pool table that you pay for by the hour and serves excellent but expensive cocktails.
Hope you have a great time.
