Top Rated Nightlife in Zurich

This bar offers visitors one of the few opportunities for getting a bird's eye view of the city by night. The Jules Verne Panoramabar is on the eleventh floor and once you've reached the top, you can see the entire city. The bar is actually part of the Lipp Brasserie on the ground floor and the elevator can be found here. 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?

The Dézaley, with its specialties from the French part of Switzerland is located in the old town of Zürich just beside the Grossmünster. There is a lot of culture that can be seen in the furniture that encompasses Le Dézaley. Besides the native Swiss specialties, international dishes are served as well. It is also worth trying one of the excellent Swiss wines from the French part of the country.

It caters to the chic and uber cool crowd in the town. 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.

If you want to have a fun-filled night out, the Hive Club on Geroldstrasse Street is where you should be headed. With upbeat techno and house music as well as eclectic dance tunes, it’s easy to let your hair down and dance the night away. The crowd is young and cheerful and adds to the lively atmosphere. Keep a look out for their live music events and dive into the vibrant, buzzing place.

The Kaufleuten (merchants) is the hot spot for Zurich's rich and beautiful. Admission into this melange of lounge, bar, restaurant and disco will inevitably involve a little queuing. Its dance floor has a heavy emphasis on the theatrical and has an atmospheric ambiance. Entry into the affiliated gallery is limited to those with a special members card, which is rather difficult to acquire. Should you fancy pulling up a pew (a rather comfortable wooden stool) making a reservation is a good plan. The room is characterized by a charming water-filled copper kettle; the candles and roses floating in it are ambient and delightful, arranged in no particular order, whilst the nearby aquarium creates a seventies look. Throughout the Kaufleuten there seems to be a common theme - 'see and be seen'. There are differing opening hours for the different parts of this establishment.
