Best cocktail bar, in the World?
Combine classic, modern and simple but refined mixes to deliver new and sensational cocktails.
Truly recommend sit at the bar and get to know the team; professional, fun with great passion and knowledge for cocktails.
Free flow popcorn is a plus but the Japanese-bread toast is worth every penny, just like the special Irish Coffee topped with a sprinkle of tonka beans. The house made liquors are on display just like fresh cut ice cubes hot branded on the moment.
The atmosphere is elegant, fun and a mix of a speak-easy with a cosy modern design.
We go there as often as possible and exceeds many of the top bars in the World. Prices are in line with Zurich which makes it a bargain.
Each cocktail is unique, balanced and elegant.
If you dont go you're missing out big time.
As a regular at Dr. Zhivago Bar, and a cocktail lover, I can confidently say it’s the best cocktail bar in Switzerland. Iced glasses, clear block ice, stunning interior and also the consistently exceptional service, the ambiance is both inviting and sophisticated. Their recent accolade of 1 PIN from The Pinnacle Guide, which is the “Michelin” for cocktail excellence shows their status as a world class establishment. Dr. Zhivago is the first bar in Switzerland to receive this honor, a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality, hospitality, and innovation. If you’re in Zurich and appreciate world class cocktails crafted with passion and precision, this bar is an absolute must visit.
Zhivago Bar is a great place in Zurich. The atmosphere is cozy, the drinks are excellent, and the music and vibe are always on point. A special shout-out to Philipp, the bartender. He’s friendly, attentive, and really knows his craft. His drink recommendations are always spot-on, and he makes everyone feel welcome.
Overall, a fantastic bar — made even better by Philipp’s great service.
Amazing bar with a stylish, cozy atmosphere right in the heart of Zurich. Service is outstanding — attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. Excellent drinks, crafted with care. A true gem worth visiting!
