We visited Bar am Wasser on our first night in Zurich, and it turned out to be a delightful choice for drinks and quality time with friends or loved ones. Seeking a more intimate experience at new bars, we prefer to sit at the bar where we can engage with the bartenders. This allows us to learn more about local spots, the people, and their favorite activities.
On that fine evening, Fabio was our bartender. He is currently pursuing a degree in hotel management. When we inquired about his choice of study, he shared a thought-provoking perspective. He explained that while dining out, we pay for food and drinks, but true service goes beyond mere delivery. It's about the connection—the time a server spends talking with guests, listening to their stories, and providing a genuine experience. His insights were truly inspiring, resonating deeply with us.
Having worked in the service industry for 27 years, I could recognize Fabio's ambition and passion. It was evident that he takes immense pride in his work and studies. We genuinely wish him a long and sparkling journey toward success.
Lastly, we highly recommend the Butter Martini 🍸, which was simply outstanding! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really lovely concept of an high end bar.
Cocktails like a 3 course dinner. Awesome idea.
The waiter really knows his job. Explains well the different cocktails courses.
You can pay by card.
Ambiente
Nice. I love the shakers on the wall.
Drinks are nice but the chef de service was quite rude. We had food and drinks but he kept pushing for us to order more drinks and consume more in a short amount of time. Even though my drink was still half full and I am not a fast drinker when it comes to cocktail. Somehow that ruined the atmosphere, the first time I have experienced this kind of service there.
If you want to try a 3 course cocktail menu, nothing beats this place. What an amazing way to start my holiday with an evening at this bar on water in Zurich. The well crafted menu of unique cocktails that come with a Hublot (partnership with the bar) stamped ice cubes combined with an excellent service and an extraordinary ambiance - can’t ask for nothing more. We enjoyed every cocktail and I highly recommend visiting this bar if you are in Zurich. Weekends might be busy as I went there on a Tuesday night and it was empty.
