Bienvenue au Silverback, un bar niché au cœur de la Vieille Ville de Genève, où le whisky, les cocktails et la musique live se rencontrent pour créer une expérience unique.
Notre établissement rend hommage au voyage du gorille dos argenté, emblème du Rwanda, qui traverse les montagnes brumeuses d’Afrique pour découvrir les sommets helvétiques. Sur son chemin, il explore les traditions du whisky, les saveurs du monde et les rencontres qui façonnent son histoire.
Avec 260 whiskys soigneusement sélectionnés, une carte de cocktails qui marie les arômes du Rwanda à l’héritage gustatif de la Suisse, et une sélection de tapas fusion inspirées d’une cuisine mêlant whisky, terroir suisse et influences rwandaises, nous vous invitons à suivre ce même périple : un voyage sensoriel entre authenticité, découverte et caractère.
Prenez place, laissez-vous guider… et entrez dans l’univers du Silverback.
