Beer: brew, enjoy, empty, repeat
Beer sampler
Traditional British beer is rich and complex and it would be a shame to taste just one! The same goes for our Swiss beer. Our Beer Flight is an exciting experience for our experimental guests: top-fermented and bottom-fermented beers from Britain and Switzerland are paired with matching snacks.

English cheese
Say Cheese, please
Let’s not forget our cheese. We present a selection of the very best cheeses the UK has to offer. People here tend to be most familiar with Cheddar and Stilton from the prepacked-products fridge in the supermarket. We have made it our mission to prove that these two cheeses in particular deserve better than to end up as a filler wedged between two pale slices of toast.

GIN – happy water for fun people
Whether with tonic, as a Sling, Martini or Gimlet. With cucumber, rosemary or pepper – the choice is yours!
Sneak Peek
Port Wine
Ruby, tawny, rosé, white, vintage. English traders discovered port. Back in the 18th century, upper-class Brits warmed themselves up with it during the cold, wet winters.
Start your
day right
For breakfast, we serve our hotel guests local Swiss products in the spacious The Bristol Lounge at a special price of CHF 10. A tip for the residents of Bern: external guests are also welcome to have breakfast at The Bristol. All locals not staying with us can enjoy our breakfast for CHF 15.
Beer is food too
Two beer or
not two beer
Hello, where are you?
Happy End
If you have to wait longer than usual for your companion this is probably because of our appealing toilets. A distraction in hot pink.
