Wohnzimmerbar Zurich

Wohnzimmerbar Zurich

Your second living room

Allan from Zurich

""Wohnzimmerbar" Zurich is a bar I go when I don't want to go to a overcrowded and shout to compete with the blaring music. Comfy sofas, good wine..."

Ever planned on meeting friends but cringed at the thought of ending up in a loud overcrowded bar, shouting out all your conversation to compete with the blaring music? Well cringe no more.

Staying true to its name, the Wohnzimmerbar (living room bar) delivers the relaxing cosiness of home - comfy sofas, good glasses of wine, easy music - while providing you with the out-of-home environment you want from a bar.

Originally situated near the Langstrasse, the re-opened/re-designed Wohnzimmerbar now takes up residence in the super-hip Kalkbreite building. And with one of its windows looking directly inside the tram depot, it's always nice watching first timers jump slightly when 50 tons of metal pass by a few meters from where they're standing.

Never empty but never too full this is a perfect bar to start the evening, meet friends for a quick beer or just sit back and enjoy a concert (Sundays). Best living room ever.

Gluten free heaven

I particularly like the variety of products they offer, which can make life a lot easier if you are gluten-free and they also have several vegan options.

Stadtgärtnerei

A lush spot in the city

The outside area is also worth a visit. You'll find a beautiful collection of palms and agave in a sandy environment crossed by a water basin with fishes.

Jazzraum

Mehrspur Tuesday jam

The jazz jam session takes place in a small space, which can't fit more than 40 people, and this gives me the impression of experiencing a private concert.
