Wonderful atmosphere & excellent service! The menu for food & cocktails was diverse &…read moreinteresting. The food was delicious. There is a reason this place is highly recommended! We enjoyed the Guacamole toast, Truffle Croque Monsieur & lemon tart. There was lovely live (but not over-loud) music. I will be back!

Funky Claude's is one of the numerous eating/drinking establishments within the Fairmont Montreux,…read morebut outside of the lobby lounge, it's the main bar that is focused more on providing beverages of the adult variety vs. food. The lounge itself has an external entrance from the street; if you are staying at the hotel, you have to walk through the Jazz Cafe (a little awkward) before reaching the back. There's definitely a huge change in vibe depending on when you are here...on a Friday night, Funky Claude's was hopping, with a live pianist playing all different kinds of tunes (not just jazz), and all of the tables and seats at the bar occupied. On a Sunday night, however, the bar was starkly empty - there were 1 or 2 other people in the bar with us at the same time. Despite this, it felt like the staffing was the same at both times, which meant that while we were decently looked-after on Sunday, it was difficult to get attention for a refill on drinks and to close out our check after getting our initial order in on Friday. As for the menu itself...we only ate one item of food here besides the bar snacks (which were largely nuts-based), as the food otherwise seemed to (generally) resemble what could be found in the Jazz Cafe. What we did have was the creme brulee, and that tasted excellent - the rum was burned to just the right level of crispiness on the surface, infusing a bit of sweetness while maintaining a hint of the kick from the booze. As for the drink selection - the beer selection is light, while I'm sure there is a decent wine selection. Given the scarcity of cocktail bars, though, this was what I focused on drinking here - and on balance, the cocktails were solid (if priced at a level that was even pricey for a New Yorker). The namesake drink is basically a sweeter version of a mojito with a touch of absinthe - very drinkable and fun, although the brown sugar can be a bit much sometimes. My favorite was probably the L'Enfin'delle, which was a competition cocktail (according to the menu) but drank almost like juice - until you had the alcohol hit you a little later. Some folks might think it's too sweet, but I really enjoyed the smoothness and the interplay of the flavors. I did try one of the numerous G&Ts on the menu; it was quite nice as well - the tonic was certainly lighter than what I am used to encountering, while the gin wasn't too overpowering either. It came off as a light, summery take on a standard cocktail - very seasonally appropriate. While the service could be a bit better, and the price is a bit steep (but it's Switzerland - so that's a given), I enjoyed the visits I paid here, and I would definitely stop by again for a late-night visit.

This is a late review of an outstanding view. This lounge has an amazing view. I recommend visiting…read morearound sunset to really enjoy the view. They have full bar so you can drinks and food. I ordered pina colada which was good. My drink came with a side of chips which was an interesting choice. This restaurant/ lounge is located on top of one of the hotels in Zurich. Service is ok no complaints, but it took a while to get my drink. No big deal cause I was enjoying the view of city.

Looking for a bar with a with? Well, LOOK no further than this gem, a rooftop bar that checks all…read morethe boxes! We popped up for a quick drink after dinner, on a weekday (off-season), and found the place occupied but not busy. We got to pick a booth by the window and settled in for a snack and a drink. The views of the city are incredible and, even though it was raining, we spent most of our time glancing out at the world. That isn't to say we didn't enjoy our libations, because we certainly did, but the sights simply enhanced the experience. The space is large and we already saw advertisements for New Year's Eve celebrations - what a place to ring in the new year! There is an upstairs in addition to the main floor so it seems like they can easily accommodate any size event. We enjoyed the classy decor that really gave it an upscale vibe and the service was what we expected (fine, nothing incredible). I can't recommend enough checking this place out. You're going to have a blast, I promise!
