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 plus de 300 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.


Welcome to Silverback, a bar nestled in the heart of Geneva’s Old Town, where whisky, cocktails and live music blend together to create a truly distinctive experience.

Our story pays tribute to the journey of the silverback gorilla, the emblem of Rwanda, who travels from the misty African mountains to the Swiss Alps. Along the way, he discovers whisky traditions, global flavors, and the encounters that shape his path.

With more than 300 carefully curated whiskies, a cocktail menu blending the vibrant flavors of Rwanda with the culinary heritage of Switzerland, and a selection of fusion tapas inspired by a cuisine combining whisky, Swiss terroir and Rwandan influences, we invite you to follow the same trail—a sensory voyage of authenticity, discovery and character.

Take a seat, let the journey unfold… and step into the world of Silverback.
