From the moment you entered Heidi’s Bier Bar, the Alpine charm swept you away. The bar captured the essence of a ski lodge with rustic décor and servers dressed in traditional Tyrolean attire, providing an authentic après-ski experience. With a wide selection of German and craft beers served from numerous taps and an inviting, lively ambiance, Heidi’s was a must-visit for both locals and tourists.
Heidi’s Bier Bar transformed from a daytime haven of large beer towers and craft brews into a pulsating nightlife hotspot as dusk fell. The venue featured two floors of entertainment, including a dance floor that came alive with German, Scandinavian, and international hits, encouraging everyone to let loose.
The bar offered a dynamic weekly lineup, ensuring there was always something exciting happening. Ski Mondays were especially popular, featuring a live DJ, spirited dancing, and incredible drink deals such as £3 pints and 4 for £10 VKs. With advanced tickets available, Heidi’s provided an affordable yet premium nightlife experience.
