Found in Lucerne's Neustadt district, Houdini is a bar, café and cultural venue all in one. It offers Einsiedler beer on tap and the bottled specialities from the BFM brewery in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, as well as local drinks like Lori's Mate and various cocktails. Houdini is quite small, but charming and simply decorated with only a few tables inside and a few seats outside. Service is very friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming. You're also allowed to smoke here - whether or not that's an advantage or a disadvantage depends on your tastes of course.
