ØYA Bar Kafé Klub — Restaurant in St. Gallen

The person responsible for checking Covid certificates refused me to enter whereas I had a valid Covid certificate. Indeed, after arriving without battery, I kindly asked him to charge my phone and bring it back to me so he could control me. However, after 5 minutes, (my phone needs 3 minutes), he refused to give it back to me when I asked to have my phone back and said that I had to wait. 5 minutes later, whereas no clients were waiting to be checked, he refused again. After 20 minutes in total, I asked again to have my phone back, and he got mad at me (for asking my phone back!) and told me to go home and that I would not be able to enter the bar anymore (my phone was still inside!).

Tasty breakfast. I really like their Nordic concept where you order a particular breakfast plate that comes with a lot of little things. However, I wish they had a wider set of choices as all their plates center around bread with cheese and there are no options where for example yogurt with granola or muesli are the central element rather than just a small 2 spoonful serving. That said, their sourdough bread and flatbread were both delicious. Their gipfel was not great. The place is cozy, service is friendly, and I'd certainly return for breakfast here. Overall...

Its a bit a hidden gem also due to its location. as a Tourist you might want to check it out instead of going to the main bars in the city centre.

Great choice of classic and contemporary drinks. Also fine selection of Swedish/Finnish special drinks and beers and bites that go with your drinks.

Good vibes, nice DJ and calm and...
