Take a look inside the new look Farinet

featured in Nightlife reviews Author Ben Gilbert, Verbier Reporter Updated

After so many rumours on what was happening with the Farinet this summer, it now has a new owner, a new makeover and it's officially back for the season!

The lounge is larger, louder and brighter, with its new sound and light dominating the main areas. Cosy booths and tables is where you can party and enjoy some tapas style food.

The opening night saw a lot of champagne and cocktails being tried from their excellent new cocktail list. If you were feeling daring then you could of had a shot from the Farinet ice sculpture, which was a complete work of art! (I tried it all night). The resident Claire McGregor kept things bumping till 2am and their other resident DJ Ratty, was on the next night. Make sure to not miss them. Among the residents, feel ready to party with ministry of sound DJ's every friday night throughout the whole of January. DJ names to be announced shortly.

If you are in their world famous Apres Ski (just next door), don't miss the early doors buy 1 get 1 free jugs of beer, party with the live bands everyday performing covers from Coldplay to ACDC, Gorillaz and Kings of Leon! Dance on the bar (which is encouraged) and try not to get naked, unless you really want to!
