There is good après-ski (for example, igloo and boomerang bar at the bottom of the weisshornbahn, Pratchlistall at the top of the piste home). The bars to enjoy at any time, with friendly staff and happy hour drinks are the Eden, Los, Bellini, Cucoluche, and the sitting bull. In the days when Arosa Ice Hockey Team were top of the Swiss A league, it was “the party town (8,000 visitors at the week end)” of the Swiss Alps – and the spirit lives on!

A building known as the Spielcasino, on Poststrasse functions as a venue for a classic cinema with blockbusters in English French and German, restaurants, and bars. It closed its gambling facilities several years ago. One of its highlights is its disco, Nuts (tel. 081/377-39-40), a glossily modern haven for drinkers and dancers that's open every day in midsummer and midwinter between 9:30pm and at least 3am. Entrance costs around 10F per person. Expect a crowd of seasonal visitors ages 18 to 55, some energetic dancing, and a lot of attractive bodies that venture onto the dance floor.
Two hundred metres from Chalet Runca, on the ground floor of the Eden Hotel, is the popular Eden bar – very large and homely space with very cosy sofas – and beds! (warning, do not sit if vaguely tired!) which turns into a night club, play with live bands or DJs. Then it becomes the bustling heart of Arosa, take where locals, visitors and staff and spend a happy night together.
Another amusing after-dark choice is the Kitchen Klub of the Hotel Eden (tel. 081/378-71-06), in the center of Arosa. This dance club is inside what functioned, at the turn of the 20th century, as an actual kitchen. The old pots and pans are still there. This place starts to fill up after dinner, and the DJ, sitting on top of old refrigerators, keeps the music lively. Entrance costs 8F ($6.55/£3.40) per person. It's open every night from 7:30pm, but only in winter, between December and early April. The Hotel Obersee, Aussere Poststrasse (tel. 081/377-12-16), has an attractive restaurant and a warm and convivial bar that from time to time focuses on the music produced by live bands, but because their schedules are erratic, it's best to phone before you head over there.

The Post Hotel, on Poststrasse, offers a handful of stubes, a pizzeria, and The Crazy Club (tel. 081/377-13-13), where drinks flow and a cabaret act features attractive women who strip in ways that tease and titillate but rarely get really down and dirty. The club is in the same building as the Hotel Eden but under separate management. A sometime competitor, offering cabaret only during midwinter's high season, most nights between 9pm and 3am, is an area known as "the Lounge" in the Hotel Seehof (tel. 081/377-15-41), which is otherwise just a quiet and rather conventional bar. Entrance to both sites is free.
Finally, you can drop in to the bar of the recommended restaurant, Cuculouche, on Unterseestrasse (tel. 081/377-55-05), for a sunset-colored cocktail whose ingredients include tequila, mango, strawberries, and more.
