Best bars in Zurich
Late Bloomers, a Greek-run bar and café on Zurich's Langstrasse, mixes Mediterranean flavours with Swiss habits in a lived-in Kreis 4 room. In the Old Town, Old Crow backs its stirred drinks with a wall of more than 1,700 spirits. Bar am Wasser on the Limmat serves cocktails in courses to a seated room, and Falstaff's 2024 guide puts several of the city's wine bars among Switzerland's best.
