Cocktail and whisky bar in the Widder Hotel on Rennweg, with over 650 whiskies, more than 1,200 spirits and regular live piano.

The Widder Bar is in the Widder Hotel on Rennweg, in the old town west of the Limmat, and it ranks first in the German-speaking region on the Top 500 Bars list. The room mixes old wooden beams, red leather seats and a lapis lazuli wall, and the shelves hold more than 650 whiskies and over 1,200 spirits in total. A pianist plays regularly.

It opens daily from 12:00 and closes at 01:00 from Monday to Thursday, 02:00 on Friday and Saturday and midnight on Sunday. There are no reservations, so arrive early in the evening for a seat. Not for you if you want to dance or drink cheaply: this is a place for one or two carefully made drinks.
