If you want to go somewhere off the beaten track but rather special then Crock No Name is it, one of the few bars in Verbier where you can escape the tourists. It has a casual but elegant and fashionable interior and is the place to go if you want to get away from the crowds.
It has DJ’s and occasional live bands and is situated a short walk up the road leading from Place Centrale to Savoleyres. It has a sun terrace that is a sun- trap late afternoon and a perfect place to let time slip by on a late afternoon Spring day.

Prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is relaxed & a small but good bar menu is offered during dinner hours so you don’t have to interrupt your Lager consumption.
