Bar am Wasser

Zurich, Switzerland

As the name suggests, Bar am Wasser is located on Lake Zurich, offering some beautiful views. This all day venue is light and airy, with an upmarket, timeless feel – ideal for coffee during the day, or any time for its fine assortment of bar snacks, everything from a charcuterie platter to Angus steak tartare. But it’s the drinks that really draw the crowds here, starting with the beautifully-lit, two-storey display of bottles behind the bar, and leading to the innovative selection of multi-course cocktail menus. Acclaimed bartender Dirk Hany, in keeping with his belief that good cocktails can fill an evening much like food can, has created two menus, No & Low Volume and High Volume, each with a choice of three or five courses, and each leading from aperitif through to mains and digestif. The cocktails themselves are inventive and contemporary – take the High Volume aperitif Hakuna Tomata, for example, with bourbon, tomato, dry curacao and vermouth.
