Bar am Wasser in Zürich

Trendy, stylish and chic bar with tasteful interior design. Huge selection of cocktails that will make the choice a nice experience for all cocktail lovers. Outdoor seating available when weather conditions allow it.

Very nice and elegant place. Always provide you with a starter and after at the house. Very good service!

We had to wait forever for our order (4 glasses of wine/rosé). When the order finally came, two drinks were wrong - no excuse was given for less than 1dl. Really bad service.

I can't rate the food because I didn't order any food. I was alone there and had the feeling of being unwanted. In addition, I was stressed when choosing the drink... Ambience is nice, but people sit a bit close to each other...

Great, if expensive, cocktails. Some creative inventions of their own and a wide range of spirits. We took their recommendations but my other half found the one selected for her way too sweet. When the waitress asked how it was she immediately offered to get her something else, which was really appreciated. You don't mind spending the money when the service is so good. Recommended.

Fantastic cocktails and 5* service! Really nice vibe. Basil Splash is 10/10.

I miss the bar am Wasser in 2020…

One of the best cocktailbars in Zurich!

Every time an experience. Unfortunately there are always a lot of people, but speaks for the BaW!

Wow, a cool bar with an exciting menu :)

I was warmly welcomed and seated. Mr. Gabriel who served us was very competent and gave us excellent service and cocktail recommendations. The ambience is great, the service is great and the drinks are very good.

Great bar and very chic. The staff is very attentive.

We had to wait a long time to get in, but it was worth it. Delicious, well-made drinks, no standard program. Water included and a sherry was added to the bill

Everything is nice about this bar! The service, smell, music, clean bathrooms and of course the drinks are superb! Wish you could book a table to ensure to have a place.

Cozy bar with fine cocktails. Ambience is great and stylishly furnished. Service very accommodating. Highly recommended. Gladly again!

Great bar and very good service!

Beautiful little bar, with a harmonious ambience and attentive service.

Top bartenders who know their job Very elegant and delicious cocktails.

Great bar with excellent drinks and attentive staff.

An absolute highlight! The exceptional drinks and the fascinating ambience make this place a must-visit. Unfortunately, you have to expect waiting times on weekends, but the visit is definitely worth it. A place that combines quality and enjoyment!"

It was a nice place inside but the line was too long and i was made to wait even though my friends were already inside and one seat was empty for me

Such a beautiful space, had a great vist. The staff are incredible, a big thank you to Darren, Margo, Logan and the team for a fabulous time

Dreamy little bar with a great selection of drinks and a special ambience

The atmosphere and ambience were very nice. The cocktails would also be very tasty and imaginative. We waited outside for a bit because it was busy on Thursday, but the staff was very friendly and professional. I will gladly come again. Good service!

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, quality of cocktails varies between great and average.

One of my favourite bars in Zurich!

Stylish little bar. Great ambience. Delicious very good cocktails. Unusual variants. Highly priced. Aperitif platter very tasty, but a bit small for the price. Unfortunately it's a bit cramped when it's busy and you always have to draw attention to yourself if you want to order something else.

Absolutely world class bar, attentive service, amazing and well balanced drinks. Elegant and tasteful design, music matches the concept. A true diamond in the city!

I would say is one of the best cocktail bar in Europe. The bartender from Paris is really cute and nice hahaha, he made me special off-menu drinks!

Amazing place stylish Bar for cocktails or just for a glass of good wine!

Oh well... Service could be better. Rather unreasonably expensive. The open water bottles don't seem so hygienic. Incomprehensible and limited opening hours.

We came here during the week to enjoy a drink. Very unusual and special idea. Our server was an absolute expert in his art of drinks. In general, the drink itself was celebrated here. High price level.

Overrated and overpriced. Since places are very limited, you have to wait in line for a long time at the entrance. The interior is unkempt for the high standard and the service is inefficiently unfriendly. Only the core competence of the cocktails and wines are convincing.

No aperol spritz available! The alternative was bad and costed 21chf

Pleasant terrace, nice menu of good and original cocktails. And above all, efficient and very friendly service.

Fantastic location with super friendly staff and sensational cocktails & drinks!

Good drinks. Nice staff, nice to sit outside and hangout. Drinks aren't cheap but compared to the rest of Zurich the prices are cheaper than some.

Amazing craft cocktails. Lots of selection and the staff is very friendly.

World class. No more and no less.

Great atmosphere. Great service. High quality drinks. Seats are a bit tight for people with heavy bones. Good spot for a drink before dinner.

Very wide choice of alcohol from all parts of the world. And service in French in addition

The guy with glasses and bear who sat us was kind of rude. He offered us a table but we preferred to sit at the bar and he looked bad at us, don’t get why… he gave us the cocktail menu without explaining anything about it. We couldn’t order properly because we didn’t understand it. We kindly asked if he could tell us something about it and we just received a short answer and still didn’t know anything about it.. After that, another French girl bartender attended us and tried to recommend us something. She was nice but didn’t know that much about the cocktails she was recommending. So we just ordered something. They didn’t ask at any time if the drinks were good. Not even when we paid. Cocktails were good but the experience was awful. When we go to a cocktail bar we look for a complete experience, and definitely this was not.

Amazing cocktails close to the Limmat.

One of my absolute favorite bars in Zürich; very high quality service and cocktails. Usually it isn’t easy to find a place, but it is definitely always worth the wait.

nice atmosphere, very attentive and friendly staff and creative drinks

Absolutely loved my experience at this cocktail bar! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. The outstanding cocktails took my taste buds on a delightful journey. I can't wait to come back for more!

Lovely, stylish bar at the heart of Zürich. From greeting us on the door, through the fine, cosy ambience, till the friendly top service- they made our experience wonderful and we will for sure come back again and again. Thank you for the beautiful evening!

You get water for free, great. The drinks are very good, but also expensive.

Very nice place to discover delicious cocktails

Service and customer friendliness are very important here! It's not just a bar, it's an ambience and feeling! Thank you Dirk and team!

Very nice experience! As soon as we sat down, free water was available and was constantly being refilled. Excellent cocktail was served by very friendly waiters and at the end there was a very tasty distilled wine on the house - simply great!

Great place! Prices a bit expensive!

A bit pretentious but the drinks are certainly very good.

Good bar unfortunately a lot of people

Fine drinks and friendly service. The selection of champagne is really impressive.

Very great bar. Especially the bartender with a beard is very sweet and makes great cocktails. Next time I'll be brave and ask for his number.

I didnt choose good drink, but my bf had whiskey sour and he likes it a lot, bar is really nice

Always a pleasure to feel the passion - top team, top drinks - thank you very much

Best cocktail bar in Zurich with very professional service! Cool atmosphere inside with various shakers on the wall. The view outside isn't great and there are a lot of (poser) cars driving past - but it's not annoying.

Super friendly staff and great drinks.

Ripe atmosphere for good drinks

This is one of my absolute favorite bars to go for a drink in Zurich! Just amazing, innovative and special drinks and an stunning atmosphere. Mostly very crowded but it is in my opinion really worth it to wait for a while to be seated.

Small place with Amazing cocktails!! One of the best cocktails ever unfortunately Luca give us a bad service, very grumpy, unfriendly which makes the mood from all of us goes down. Otherwise great

Unique drinks and exceptional service!

Charming bar with great service, cozy atmosphere and great drinks with and without alcohol!

Fancy bar with exotic cocktails

Nice bar, service and bartenders were smiling (you don't see that often now).

Great experience, a good reference for cocktail lovers. Of course we go there more to drink than to eat, but a small snack menu is quite interesting. A young waiter (from Paris and therefore perfectly bilingual), very courteous and attentive to us throughout the evening

Great Bar, nice location. Would recommend to friends.

Tasty cocktails from a wide selection of single malt. Whiskey sour, Scotland Yard Boulevardier and Old fashioned were outstanding. The compliments were amazing and the service just excellent.

Bar is open until 01:00. We weren't allowed to order anything to drink at 00:25. Why should I sit in a bar for half an hour when I'm thirsty and can't get anything to drink? In addition, a very unfriendly serving lady who showed zero understanding. 1st and last time. A pity..

Nice bar with good drinks, but the prices are very high, which affects the price-performance ratio. Employees are friendly and accommodating, but you quickly feel like you're in an exclusive rather than inclusive environment.

Very friendly bar. There was even free water as standard. Nice long, absolutely recommended

It was just great! I can only recommend!

No explanation is needed. Absolute favorite bar.

Nice ambience, nice menu, price-performance ratio is rather high, the service only really made an effort when she realized that we wanted to drink more than one bottle of wine.

One of the best bars in Zurich. The atmosphere is very cosy and the staff extremely friendly. The cocktails are very good and there is a variety of Swiss wines to drink and taste. They also provided us with welcome and goodbye drinks. Highly recommended!

One of the best bars in Zurich - friendly and attentive service and good drinks. Always my pleasure. Very well attended on weekends (Friday/Saturday/Sunday evenings).

Nice place, good cocktails and friendly staff

Extremely polite, very attentive service, lots of staff, VIP atmosphere, see and be seen. A top bar, elite. Could have a more mixed crowd.

the entrance was blocked and staff did not even come to greet me, I left unnoticed

Great atmosphere and excellent drinks… always happy to go there 😍

Top awarded bar for a reason, from simple tipples to well balanced and elevated cocktails. Everything is on point and hard work can be found behind the taste!

Great evening! Delicious cocktails, best bartenders Thank you ☺️

Great place with great drinks Service is nothing less than 5 stars!

Good ambience with a nice bar. Good cocktails

cool bar, delicious cocktails and best of all a very friendly service team... absolutely recommended!

Simply a great atmosphere with harmonious people. The cocktails are also fantastic.

Very attentive service - the best in Zurich by far! Perfect drinks - definitely worth the price. The atmosphere is cozy and upscale at the same time. You want to linger in this bar. Central location with beautiful views. All in all perfect.

Cozy atmosphere, great service and amazing cocktails. What else!

A little jewel of a place for breakfast and a read. Right on the water, this place is a luxurious respite. The service is good, the food is good, but the location and decor are amazing. I'm sure it is wonderful for cocktails at night as well.

Good choice of beer! Pleasant atmosphere.

Best cocktails in town. Stylish bar with unique cocktails flavours. On the pricey side but I recommend for an evening out with friends.

I am speechless about this place. I have been to many cocktail bars and this one is definitely among the best. The service from entrance to finish is incredible. The cocktails have a very special twist and incredible taste and all the experience really worths it. Only note for improvement: add the type of spirit each cocktail has. I definetely recommend that you visit this place in Zurich!

Great bar with beautiful ambience, great service and professional staff 👍

A great bar in a classy atmosphere. Great location in the heart of Zurich.

Best place if you want to experience real Zurich gastronomy arrogance. Too cool for a good customer experience. After waiting for 10 minutes to be seated, we left. Ah, yes yes. They have seen us.

Very nice restaurant Excellent service, friendly and attentive. Very nice atmosphere Highly recommended 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Best atmosphere, very friendly staff, you just feel great!!! I'm happy to do it again whenever I'm in Zurich!

Great service, very friendly, very attentive. Again any time
