It sticks in my mind because some girl decided that she didn't want to hang around with her mum any more, and wanted to hang around me, and the fact that my French is pretty bad didn't really disuade her. Anyway, yeah, it's a pretty nice pub with good service and decent beers, which I definitely appreciate.

We found ourselves hungry in the southern side of Plainpalais, when we happened on LG. We had actually been looking for another restaurant, which was closing just as we arrived. I convinced my friend, who was by then suffering from starvation-induced crankiness and despair, to give the generically-Irish looking pub a chance. Stepping inside is a surprise, as it's much nicer than you would expect from the plain black exterior. The bar is long and deep, with huge chalk-writing on the wall announcing their specials and cocktails. The windows are adorned with Christmas lights, which somehow avoid being tacky and actually creates a nice environment. And if you're like me and don't like pubs in general, the restaurant-like setting makes LG feel almost elegantly romantic, as long as you can get passed the big screen TVs showing football or basketball. Most importantly, of course, the burgers. We both had the Town Burger with Cheese, and I was a bit skeptical as they didn't ask how we wanted our meat cooked. So I was very pleasantly surprised to find the meat with a juicy pink center! I'm apt to believe that the lovely Lady Godiva has decided that burgers should ONLY be cooked medium to medium rare, and has made an executive decision not to offer it any other way. The patty could have used just a little more spices, but I was very happy with the quality of the meat. I'd forgot to ask them to hold the thousand island dressing on the burger, but was very happy to find that the burger only had a very thin swirl of the dressing on the bun, just enough to add flavor without making the burger soggy. Oh, and did I mention that the bun was beautifully toasted and tasted really good? The fries were thick-cut, "typical British fries," according to my British dining-mate. They weren't outstanding, and I had a few fries that seemed a bit under-fried. Lady Godiva was one of the places that have been touted as having the best burger in Geneva. In fact, I think pretty much all burger joints in Geneva have been raved about by someone or other as having the "best" burgers. While I wouldn't say Lady Godiva was the best, I would happily give it a top 2 or 3 rating among the places I've tried so far. It's also on the other side of town from the other two English/American pub options, so definitely worth a go if you find yourself on the left side of the river looking for a friendly crowd to watch a game or just have a good burger.

I've held off reviewing the Lady Godiva Pub, also known as Lady G to locals, for a number of…read morereasons. I've had friends work here and quit due to the behaviour of the owner, and I have had friend refuse to ever go back because of problems with staff. Needless to say this is as blunt and honest a review as I can give. To start with, lets just address a major problem with this pub - It's price. Located in the heart of the 'cheap' student area of the city, the price is more expensive than some of the hotels next to the lake! The food as well is priced extremely high considering the options available around the area. There are very few deals on, and despite the rather impressive selection of beers on tap, the selection of other drinks is rather limited. Secondly, this is more of a restaurant than a pub... and to be honest I would rather call this a Gastro-Restaurant than a pub. The food selection is large and over priced, and the qua lit is nothing to rave about. They recently did a revamp not he food menu, but it is still appalling. On a more positive note, the amount of sport that they show is great and it does seem to fill up nicely for the odd big event that they host. However, friday night after 11, this place becomes a grave-yard. The pub quiz is good, although there are better ones in Geneva, such as The Clubhouse. To sum up, this pub seems to be stuck & in need of some major changes; but all is not lost!

McSorley's - the only bar any Ice Hockey fan in Geneva need to know…read more Located next to the 'Patinoire des Vernets', the home of the top flight Ice Hockey team Geneva-Servette HC, this cafe/pub/restauruant is a fantastic after match location to go too. With cheap beer, and shots at only 5CHF it's very easy to get a little bit tipsy in a short amount of time & money! Usually after the matches the team will come here for drinks, and if lucky you will also get to see some of the cheerleaders dancing on the bar. Now there's a reason to go if I ever heard of one! On 'away game' days this pub will also show the Geneva-Servette HC games on the TV, allowing you to never miss a moment of the action! The food menu is also one of the best for 'American Food' in Geneva, with a personal favourite the BBQ Ribs. The price is also rather reasonable and although the selection is not massive, there's enough to make everyone happy. The weekday special burger is also a must if you have never tried it. The burgers are by no means any where near Inglewoods quality, for the price the burgers are great! All in all, a fantastic bar and somewhere you can go to relax after the game. Oh' I should also mention a little bit of trivia about this place - McSorley is the last name of the most famous & successful coach in Geneva-Servette history!

I'm shocked to find a great selection from my hometown (San Diego), and some of my other favorite beers, including BrewDog and Flying Dog beers. The location also means that it's easy for me to pick up celebratory Prosecco or a friend's favorite beer when I greet them at the airport. They also stock a lot of local brews, including ciders, and everything is labeled clearly with the name (in French) and flags of each country below the bottles, well-informing your selection, even if you have a hard time making up your mind with so many bottles to choose from! Thankfully, the staff here are very friendly and helpful, and if you drop in often (or have a lot of visitors, as I do) you can get a frequent buyer card, with a stamp for every 10chf spent. Once the card is full your next beer is on them! They even take used bottles of local beers back and return you the recycling fee upon their return, giving you another reason to keep coming back. Like I need another reason to, anyways- from what I've seen around Geneva, their prices really can't be beat!

I read that Geneva is the 2nd most expensive city in Switzerland; if so than DotW fits right in.
