A bar or pub's ambience dictates what it is, and this one is unmatched in providing the best selection of beverages, music, and entertainment. For delicious and inventive home-made cocktails that will give your evening a terrific twist, visit Raygrodski, a swanky neighbourhood bar in District 4 of the city of Zürich. Weekends tend to be crowded, so you might want to get here a bit earlier if you don't wish to shout out orders over other bar-goers. If you come here on a far less busy weekday, you might be able to appreciate the simple décor and the elegantly long bar counter. Drink away your worries with various vodka-infused cocktails or indulge in Raygrodski's Hot Russian, which comes delightfully lit up atop a passion fruit.

It serves the affluent, ultra-hip clientele in the area. Watch the changing facades of the city through the glass walls. Sip on the wide range of cocktails offered or simply enjoy a glass of vodka. Elegant and classy settings truly add to the pleasant experience.

The decor at the top is not spectacular and not necessarily suitable for an intimate dinner for two - but who cares when you can enjoy the view over a drink?
