A gem in Zürich city center! "Bar am Wasser" as its name…read moredescribes is a bar by the water, along the river of Zurich. While visiting my boyfriend's family there, we stepped upon this amazing cocktail bar that offers a Michelin quality of service, and extremely good cocktails. As a wine gal, I was more interested in wine at first but I tried a cocktail as it seemed to be the place to do so, and I was not disappointed at all. So much so that I had a second cocktail after that that I equally loved. I can't remember the name of them, but one was champagne based with a passion fruit foam, while the other was bourbon and amaretto. As per the ambiance, I personally loved the elegant decor, the dim lights and... the restrooms. The jungle noise is a nice touch imo The service was elegant, multilingual and friendly.

Between the design and décor of this bar being stunning and the cocktails being next level, this…read morebar adds a special sense of occasion and privilege to your night. The space is so beautiful that it makes you want to capture it in photos to take home. The cocktail list is short but extremely inventive and considered. I'm picky about cocktails and was on a stopover after a two week holiday where I shied away from ordering them because nothing seemed worth ordering in the area I was visiting. This menu was overwhelming, though--so many creative and thought-provoking options that it was hard to choose. We each selected one and it was utterly delicious, making us wish we had time for a second! We weren't sure what to wear and were surprised to see quite a mix, from people dressed in smart casual up to elegant attire. So it's not super prescriptive in that way. Also worth noting--my partner is celiac, so we need strict gluten free food with no cross contamination. At least one of the drinks was elaborate enough (featuring lacto-fermented strawberries) that we thought it was worth double checking with the server about cross-contamination. He took it seriously and advised us confidently (as the other hotel staff had done in our hotel experience with the Widder), and my partner stayed safe. So while we didn't order food, I suspect they would have navigated the issue well.

Iconic bar in the ground floor of the namesake hotel in Zurich…read more Very distinctive decor with old wooden beams and a jillion varieties of handsome liquor bottles. Bartender was friendly although not chatty. Drinks were well prepared. Small tray of nuts, etc to snack on. Nothing in Zurich is cheap but this wasn't eye popping by their standards. Everyone in our group of 3 enjoyed the experience ( and the drinks).

My friend and I wound up sitting at an isolated table in the courtyard because the weather was nice. I ordered the hanky panky, which surprisingly I really enjoyed! Normally I don't drink liquor, but decided that I ought to try something out of my comfort zone. My friend got the pineapple princess which she really enjoyed! We also ordered the cheese board, which I don't believe is in the menu, but our waiter said that they could throw one together - seriously one of the best that we've had! The menu consists of probably 50+ drinks, each of them unique to the bar. I would definitely come back here if I ever find myself in Zurich again!

Our large group was seated in the back area which had a cozy ambiance and interesting decor. I ordered the Strawberry Club which was pretty and refreshing! We also got a tiny complimentary bowl of rice cracker snacks to munch on, although I feel like we should have been given more since we were a huge party spanning multiple mini tables. One thing that was uncomfortable was that there were 2 people in our group that didn't want to drink and therefore did not order anything. Even when this was explained, it felt like staff was pushing them to order a drink. We came here in the late afternoon and were the only party there, so it's not like they were taking seats away from paying customers.

It was about 20 minutes until closing but the bartender welcomed us in and served us promptly. The kitchen was still open so we ordered two burgers and some beers.

The bartenders were so nice not to kick us (and another couple) out when the place closed. They really let us enjoy our time there and we did not feel rushed.

Tales Bar is a small cocktail bar located in central Zurich known for their craft cocktails…read more Although it's in the city center, it's on the edge so it's in a quieter neighborhood. There were some seats at the bar and larger tables throughout. The mother in law (19 CHF) was like an old fashioned; I poured the drink into the glass with a custom Tales Bar ice cube. The mr. bumblebee (19 CHF) was similar to a penicillin and it was slightly smokey and balanced. It was one of the best penicillin-like cocktail I've ever had and I really liked this drink. This bar has the feel of a hidden gem and I liked the creativity of their cocktails. This is a great spot to go if you're looking for a cozy and intimate atmosphere with great drinks.

Small but cozy with dark ambience and somewhat cool bar. It was full when I got there around 10 pm…read moreso I left then returned about 45 min later but it was much more crowded!! Most seems to be locals. No vodka here but many different cocktails made of gin, whiskey and rum. Many were having a glass of wine so perhaps wines are good here. Whiskey cocktails were very strong.. Sour cocktails were tasty. Try it with your friend or date for a drink or two. Better than posh bar or club. PS: Cocktails are 17 CHF!!!

Quaint little bar nested in Kreis 4 drawing a mixed age crowd, and a stone throw away from its…read morebetter known neighbor, the Kanzlei nightclub at Kanzleistrasse, which is popular with age group from 18 to low 20s. Bar goers here can vary, say an older couple, young boys into dance music, girls or guys night out, singles, etc. The bartender's cool, very accommodating to the patrons. I came here with my girlfriend and our two guy friends to have drinks. Didn't expect a big night here, but ended up dancing the night away. At the end of the night we even had other guys buying us drinks and also offering us a smoke, even though they saw that we came with other guys! Now how often do people volunteer to share ciggies and drinks? It's a coin flip at this place - a wild card as to what kind of night it can be. Overall, it's decent for a drink of beer or mixed drinks over a catch up with a few friends in Kreis 4. If you're bored after, you still have a few places a stone throw away like the Plazda, Xenix bar, the Forum, Kanzlei (more of a nightclub) or even Schmuklerski (which is even more boring).
