About
A little mischievous and more relaxed than its address might suggest, Dr. Zhivago brings some personality to Zürich’s financial district near Bahnhofstrasse. The bar is known for working with its own spirits, displayed in striking illuminated glass columns behind the counter, which gives the room a clear visual identity without making it feel overdesigned.
There is polish here, but not the cold kind. Between the modern lounge feel, leafy terrace, and attentive hospitality, the place comes across as welcoming rather than severe, which helps balance the more design driven side of the concept. It suits evenings when you want cocktails with a sense of care in a setting that still knows how to stay easy.
