If a ‘trip to the San’ doesn’t remind you of the medical mishaps of your youth, here’s a little booster injection to refresh your memory. Sure you might not have been aiming to end up in hospital on holiday, but for the stylish surroundings of this scenester bar, you might have to make an exception.
The drinks are a little on the expensive side (and no, medical insurance won’t cover it), but the crowd’s cool, the concept a little odd (think Swiss Red Cross meets the Soviets) and the international DJ line-up playing mostly electronic should get that heart-rate up.
Recline back on one of the stark white and red leather beds and take in the view from the giant panorama windows lining the street. If you just don’t think you’ll make it home, there's no longer rooms for rent upstairs but thankfully plenty of friendly boys in the generally gayfriendly crowd.
