bar
Confiserei Sprüngli
A Swiss institution, this pâtisserie, coffee house and
chocolatier brought café culture to Zurich in the 1830s. Even
today, writers, heiresses and associated hangers-on can be found
mingling upstairs over hot chocolate and Luxemburgerli – the city’s
very own mini macarons.
bar
Frau Gerolds Garten
Right in the heart of Zürich-West, this lovely urban garden bar
and restaurant serves home-cooked comfort food and craft beers to
an appreciative crowd of local designers and entrepreneurs.
bar
Olé Olé
For an unbridled, loud, Latin-themed dive bar experience, head
to this Langstrasse icon. Here when the area was synonymous with
drugs and prostitution, it today caters for the new crowd of
creatives.
