6 cocktail bar places in Zurich we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Zurich | Cocktail Bar across every city.
Zurich drinks well across two registers: the historic hotel bar and the harder modern cocktail room. The Kronenhalle Bar on Raemistrasse is the filmic classic, all Giacometti fixtures and old-world service, while Widder Bar near Widdergasse keeps a deep back bar in the old town. Old Crow off Schwanengasse leans into serious mixing, and Razzia Bar carries the scene out to Seefeld.
