"Mars Bar" Zurich has been around for ages and always stayed true to itself. It's the bar I suggest to avoid discussions of where to meet...

Hotel "Rivington & Sons" Zurich is a bar that seems to have shipped bits and pieces of classic cocktail bars straight from New York to Zurich...

"Café du Bonheur" Zurich is a great little French café, that will let you enjoy a whole afternoon of sunshine bathing without the need to relocate.

"Eldorado" is a beer bar in Zurich I love. If you've had all their 101 special bottles, they will make you a bottle opener engraved with your name.

"El Lokal" Zurich is a quirky bar I instantly feel in love with. In summer people come here for the large and cheerful outside terrace facing the river...

"The Bite" Zurich serves my favorite gourmet burgers and a nice selection of craft beers. Tip: get sliders; 3 miniature versions of any burger on the menu.

"Riff Raff" Zurich is the cinema I go when I'm tired of over-marketed Hollywood blockbuster movies. It's the main hub for independent, non-mainstream films.

"Zum Guten Glück" Zurich: where I get my pancakes. They serve really tasty breakfasts as well, like the hangover killer 'Dicke Berta'. And it's a bar too!
