Here it is, the historical site called Tell, built in 1958. It used to be a country restaurant with an adjoining theatre hall. With the years, the restaurant turned into the legendary Kultur Bistro who was a great host for so many bands! Sadly it closed its doors at the end of 2023.
The theatre hall has remained untouched inlcuding the wooden dancefloor and the balcony with its seating area where you can relax and watch the concerts if you feel to do so.
Spring will be here and so it's time to dig out your vintage gear: The venue has a parking lot to use free of charge so first come first served! There is more parking space available in the sidestreets from the concert hall.
Food & Drinks
We will take best care of your thirsty and hungry needs! The festival bar is run by MAGNUS and his crew of LES AMIS WEINHANDUNG. There will be draft beer, a fine selection of wine, a handful of cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.
In the food court you will be finding DELI 43 - Bern's only classic Diner - where NADJA & MARTIN will be serving you their tasty, home made foods for meat-lovers and vegans.
But this isn't all, you are spoilt for choice! At TACOS KING you'll find RAFAEL'S freshly made Tacos for carnivores and vegetarians.

We accept CASH and payments via TWINT. For high tax reasons we don't accept credit cards - Sorry! You find ATM machines within 3 minutes walk from the venue.
