What Chris likes about Bar Festival:
The Festival Bar in Locarno is an institution for the cultivated aperitif culture. A good selection of drinks, paired with a lot of charm and small appetizers that are served free of charge. The location in the middle of Locarno and in the immediate vicinity of the train station and funicular is another advantage of the bar. View all feedback. What Maika Testa doesn't like about Bar Festival:
Bad service, a pathetic and arrogant person. you do not need to drink 40 min before closing.. .however a nice place but always with this upper air. I don't think it's gonna change my comment. But maybe get down a little bit from the pedestal View all feedback.
