Bongo Joe Records in Genève

Best Aperol and Campari spritzes in town!

Multi-style vinyl record store (world, afro, reggae, jazz, techno, pop, rock, punk, etc.). Some will say that there is a limited choice by style, perhaps, but the artists/groups' records are of high quality. At the entrance there is a small bar and in the record store there are tables and chairs for sipping your drink. Concerts are organized regularly so keep an eye on the programming (on their website or Facebook...). The atmosphere is very nice: the waiters are smiling and the clientele is very varied, of all ages and calm! This associative place also offers an outdoor terrace on the banks of the Rhône with braziers in winter: it's great for warming up!!!

A very unique place with an umdergroumd vibe amd nice stuff.

Cool vinyl store offering a huge selection of musical variety. Bar with reasonable prices for the sector. However, I must lower the rating given previously because it was almost impossible for me to receive a response to my various contacts (calls, Facebook messages or emails) regarding a sale. This service should be reviewed so as not to tarnish your good reputation, word for word.

Cool place to work and have a drink

Great, little place, full of atmosphere. A lovely place to work too.

For vinyls, I don't know but the bar is nice, very young, where the beer flows freely. I had to insist a little to get a hot chocolate that was really hot. Felt almost out of place. It’s a good spot located in the heart of the Rhône.

That's wonderful. And the service at the top

Very chilled place, super nice people and great coffee and beer!! Always great choice of music

Best place to have a relaxed drink in Geneva, with an impressive vinyl collection! And the staff is really nice

Very cheap cocktails in a very nice location

Nowhere else in the world will you have a better vinyl listening booth than at Bongo Joe records in Geneva. A fine café and record shop with the sweetest people working there. A must when in Geneva.

Very chilled out place, near the water, really nice for a little evening hangout

Cheapest place I know to have drinks in Geneva. CHF 5 for spritz, local beer for CHF 7. They also serve nuts :)

Love everything about this place 💖

Great place for a drink next to the river and amazing record store

Incredible place! Vinyls as far as the eye can see!

Amazing place to hear and buy some records and have a coffee or beer :)

One of the best places in town!

Beautiful atmosphere - very good music - a place to discover. Definitely I'm going to go back

Two in one. This place is both a vinyl store and a bar. Whether you are passing through Geneva or living there, I recommend it! The prices are very affordable, the atmosphere is nice and the servers are always in a good mood. Ideal place for a date, to gossip or just to come and have a drink 🥃

Amazing. It feels so good to see that simple, beautiful, alternative places full of good vibes still exist even in large and rich urban centers...Keep it up, you're selling dreams!! 🙏

good vibes, nice for a date or a friendly get-together. do note that they don't serve any drinks stronger than beer, wine and spritz!

A must-see café in Geneva, a legendary place where the sound ambiance changes depending on the day. Immerse yourself in a magical atmosphere at the water's edge, between shelves filled with an impressive range of vinyl records. If you are looking for that rare gem, this is definitely the place to come. All with very pleasant service and very good drinks. In short, to enter is to join.

Chill vibes, surrounded by records 📀

Baptism of the place for me......very nice surprise, the staff is super friendly, the place is worth the detour if you follow the fashion for natural wines but also for others...

Great music, drinks and ambiance!

Great cafe, they have an excellent vinyl library.

Warm atmosphere with a warm and pleasant team. The place is ideally located and their concept is well executed.

Very intolerant atmosphere: I was frowned at so much for not having: a MacBook, iphone, red-haired mustache or beard, plastic-gold swatch, and "vintage" Peugeot bicycle. "B more original" I was told

Great place for people who like underground/indie music and having a nice beer. A bit expensive, but the place is really cool

Great record store. The only problem is that you can spend too much time there listening to music and drinking. Let's see how this place will turn out because there are a lot of people.

Very good program and the place is great

Superb place, very good and a welcome change of atmosphere in this somewhat stuffy neighborhood!

Listening to a vinyl on headphones while watching the Rhône flow by is a rare experience that can only be found in this magnificent place which is full of gems and friendly people: in short, you should definitely not miss this address!

Great terrace! Great music and cold beer! What more could you ask for in summer?

Spirit of a tavern on the banks of the Rhône, with the friendliest service, an exceptional setting, well-executed cocktails that don't hurt the wallet... what more could you ask for? I recommend this cocoon of well-being in the heart of Geneva!

Really nice place to get some drinks for a reasonable price in friendly and cozy environment

Very friendly services, at the water's edge, very affordable price

Cool record label which also serves beers during daytime.

A store like no other 😮, this store sells a lot of vinyls, a few cassettes and a few books, there is also a bar, it's the best place to find vinyls that you can't find in supermarkets, in in short, a superb place

Great ambience inside and has a cool terrace. We need more Bongo Joe’s in Geneva!

Super chill.. Some good local binches in pressure

Variety of different vinyl genres on offer here. Worth a visit.

Where I feel best in Geneva. It's a perfect place to meet when you want to spend time with a friend, where the employees, customers and place are friendly. I met him through a concert and I'm hooked.

love this shop. Do not expect to find standard vinyls. they offer second hand, rare records and records from its own production.... and the coffee shop is great in a great location close to the Rhone.

Nice place to have a good time relaxing.....and with music 🎶

A great place that Geneva needed. It is very relaxed and has great vibes. They have interesting drinks karkadi or Ginger lemonade. They also have great music and a good selection of records. In winter, the lit fire 🔥 Staff are so friendly Its an awesome if you want to work, meet friends, or just read a book. Highly recommended.

Relaxed refreshment area, affordable cocktails.

A very cool place in Geneva. With an outdoor terrace next to the water and serves a variety of drinks and food. They have a nice selection of local ales and wine. The record shop is also very cool. Loved the vibe here.

Great eclectic record shop which also serves drinks in a cosy, friendly environment.

Super nice place on the banks of the Rhone, great staff, delicious hot chocolate and good collection of vinyls

The best place in Geneva by a mile.

Best record store in Geneva! Amazing records from all over the globe. Every time I get super recommendations, discover new music, and fall in love with new records. Can't wait for my next visit already :)

Black Coffee is special, but the menu is small It offers juices The location is great, near the river on the bridge In his office, indoor and outdoor sessions

Excellent spot! I literally fell for the intern, a handsome brunette with curly rock style hair! I would have enjoyed drinking coffee on the shores of Lake Geneva with this guy but it was different 🙊

Amazing location, super friendly, low key and funky crowd. Music lovers, they always host events, discussions, concerts... cheap drinks (for Geneva). Cons: Hard to have a table in summertime, should come early afterwork..

Just moved in to that new location, much more spacious and incredible view on the Rhone river (and peaceful too!). You'll find a beautiful selection of vinyls (7 and 12'), tapes, a few books, new and second hand. All about music from all over the world, jazz, electronic, alternative, a little paradise! Bongo Joe is actually also a record label you should check out! This will definitely become one of the sweetest spot in town for music lovers!

we went there for a folk/rock concert, they served nice beer and juices. Concert was great, very intimate atmosphere.

I love this place! It’s a great spot in Geneva to find very rare records and in a good condition, it’s the point if you want to find vinyl to add to you collection

Helpful and hip. Good selection of interesting records and cheap for Geneva.

A different place that weaves links around music with an incredibly rich and varied travel catalog. World of vinyl and its incredible covers - sleeves which are first graphic projects as invitations to other musical adventures. Tasty choices at the bar including a ginger juice where the rhizome is truly present without the corrupting, often excessive presence of sugar. Also a place for events, doors open to meeting artists from there and there too Come there and come back... great options

Great Vinyl selection and atmosphere. Very recommended to stop by for a coffee or beer. They have also a nice programme of concerts.

Sometimes you need something to be happy. Music, a simple and warm atmosphere and your friends!

Really a great store, the salespeople are really cool, they make us feel good, we can listen at ease, it's CHILL.

Very nice shop where you can find a good choice of records. There is also a small café where they make very good coffee for 3.-

They definitely stock one of the finest vinyl records library in Geneva. It is not big but the owners have cleverly arranged it to include an upper deck and somehow fitted a drinks station right at the counter to create a really relaxing space. Back to the music. I found records of different genres from new age hip hop to classics to African music from the early 20th century. I was awed by the sheer range of music on offer. Best of all, the staff were helpful to assist me locate albums as well teach me to use the record players to sample the music before purchase.

Simply the best vinyl shop in G-town!!

Great shop! The best of Geneva good choice funk!!!!!!

Absolutely the best for alternative music in Geneva; competition doesn't even come close.

Great if you're looking for original records

Perfect selection, perfect people, perfect shop !
