Picture this: wooden beams, a roaring fireplace, and walls covered in quirky memorabilia. It’s the kind of place where you could bump into James himself, probably ordering a round of shots. It’s not fancy; it’s the opposite of a celebrity hotspot. It’s a proper mountain pub.
The menu is famously simple—think nachos, burgers, and a solid selection of beers. But here’s the kicker: they serve a cocktail called “Goodbye My Lover.” Yes, really. It’s a sweet cherry-and-whisky concoction, and I imagine it tastes like a bittersweet love song.
He’s even been known to hop behind the bar and pour pints for surprised customers. Just imagine shouting, “Oi, James, another round!” and he’d probably shrug and say, “No problem, mate.” That’s the James Blunt Pub Experience.
But Wait—Does He Actually Run It?
Here’s the thing: James Blunt owns the pub, but he doesn’t run it day-to-day. He’s a busy guy—touring, writing songs, roasting himself on social media. That said, he’s deeply involved in the pub’s soul. He’s even designed a special “Blunt Beer,” which is brewed locally in Switzerland.
The pub’s staff will tell you that when James is in town, he’s there almost every night. He doesn’t hide in a VIP booth; he’s right there, laughing with strangers and signing napkins. “He’s the most down-to-earth celebrity I’ve ever served,” one bartender told a reporter.

And here’s a fun fact: the pub’s ownership was actually a bit of a happy accident. He and his wife, Sofia, fell in love with Verbier and just wanted a place to hang out with friends. So they bought a run-down old bar and turned it into this. From “You’re Beautiful” to “Your Pint’s Ready”— what a career pivot.
