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.

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.

The bartenders are some of the best and have officially made one of my favorite drinks. I let the bartender know what I liked and that I wanted a tequila based cocktail and he knocked out out of the park. This is definitely the place where you can really trust your bartenders and get the most perfect drink in a way that you wouldn't have thought about before. They have every ingredient you could imagine... from different tinctures, infusions and fresh fruits. They even had passion fruit which is my personal favorite especially with tequila. The vibe and ambience are really warm and welcoming and super cozy! It is a smaller space which makes it that much more cozy! They also have some great food options. My husband loved the pulled pork! It's a great late night spot for sure. It's also in a very convenient location right next to the train station which is great! We are always excited to visit when we are in town.

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.

We tried Mezcal tonic and Quöllfrisch natutrüb beer. 2/3 of the glass was just Mezcal, smoky goodness. And the beer is quite refreshing with a slight herbal taste.

Its really a down to earth cocktail bar. It is not posh or so. It is very small and narrow. In summer you can sit outside. The bar lost 1 star with me because outside the chairs are chained, you can not move them around... a bit pity when you are with four or more... Have a look in the toilets, the wallpaper is funny :) The cocktails are actually a bit cheaper then somewhere else you find for sure a cocktail for less then 14 Sfr.

Walk through a mini shop with only the nicest of items as you approach the bar, tempting for sure, especially after a few cocktails.

The bartenders are very well educated, pour stiff drinks and are literally there to serve your every need, which they do quite nicely.

What a bummer. I was severely disappointed on my most recent visit…read more It was fairly busy upstairs, but downstairs was dead. Despite having having 3 bartenders behind the bar, they couldn't handle our drink orders. It was a zoo! It took forever to get a drink because they are sooooo slow. Some might argue that a good drink takes time, but do you really have to stir the damn ice cubes 640 times to properly incorporate two ingredients? By the time, the bartender was finally done with our unprecedented bulk order of 3 drinks, we asked to pay with a credit card. He asked if it was all together. We said it was two cards. He shook his head in disapproval and rudely said he couldn't deal with it now - he has other drinks to make. So we walked away! He's lucky we came back to order more of the world's slowest and rudest drinks, or we may have just forgotten to pay our tab. I mean, businesses do need money to thrive, don't they? His attitude the whole night was: too cool for school. Bottom line is: their specialty is gin (I prefer, whiskey, tequila and rum to gin anyway) and they make a good cocktail, albeit pricey (15-24 CHF), but there are plenty of other magnificent cocktail bars in Zürich that make incredibly delicious drinks and manage to treat their customers like customers! Think Barfly'z, Hotel Rivington & Sons, Kronenhalle Bar, Tina Bar... and the list goes on... I'm striking Dante from my list.
