Offer & Ambiance
The Café Nizza is a classic contact bar: a dining room with a counter and beverage selection where guests and several ladies meet in a relaxed setting. The operators provide their current drink menu as a PDF directly on the website. Beyond that, the business provides no online information about rooms, facilities, or staff – if you want details, it’s best to call.
The Lucerne police explicitly list contact bars as sex work establishments; the business is therefore subject to licensing requirements in the Canton of Lucerne. Industry directories list 1992 as the founding year of the business entry – the address in Lucerne has thus been established for some time.
Opening Hours
According to the business website:
- Monday to Saturday: 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 a.m.
- Sunday: 4:30 p.m. – 12:30 a.m.
Some online directories differ by about half an hour and list a start time of 4:00 p.m. for Sundays and public holidays. The website is authoritative. Current as of November 2026 – please check the website before visiting.
