Widder Bar

Zurich, Switzerland

Widder Bar is the bar of the five-star Widder Hotel on the Rennweg in Zurich's old town, nine medieval townhouses that architect Tilla Theus joined into one hotel in 1995. The bar has its own street entrance and sits among ancient wooden beams, red leather seats and a lapis lazuli wall. It holds more than 650 whiskies among some 1,200 spirits, poured as rare drams or in custom-crafted cocktails, and live piano carries on a long jazz tradition; reservations are not accepted. The hotel says the bar ranks No. 1 in the DACH region on the Top 500 Bars list. It won Best Hotel Bar (2022) and Best Longseller Bar (2023) at the Swiss Bar Awards and is a 2026 Best Hotel Bar finalist.
