Bar am Wasser

Few bars in Zurich make such immediate use of their setting. Facing the water on Stadthausquai, it feels polished and self assured without becoming stiff, with lake views that give the room a natural sense of occasion. Inside, the striking two level back bar adds character and presence rather than pure spectacle. Drinks are a serious part of the experience, with a strong spirits selection and cocktails that reach well beyond the usual standards. What makes it worth visiting is the way location, atmosphere, and confident service all feel equally well judged.
