Check out the Dampfzentrale, a cool riverside spot in Bern's Marzili district where they're all about cutting-edge music and dance. This place has got some real history - it started as a steam power plant in 1904, then went through a phase of just being used for storage since the 1970s. The city of Bern actually even thought about tearing it down in the early 1980s, but thanks to some youth rebellion and the monument preservation folks, it got a new lease on life and is now a theatre and cultural centre, with more than 500 events held per year!

If you're hungry, they've got a modern, sunny restaurant right by the water, perfect for a chill summer night. Inside, you can catch all kinds of performances, from flamenco to R&B, and everything in between. It's really a cool local spot in Bern that's got it all, and the best part is...it's right by the beautiful river!
