    Lovely bar to have your beer or coffee while chatting with your friends. Good location also, and fairly price. Was spent time just enjoyed my Zurich beer 🍻

    We asked for an hot chocolate, but we received milk foam with nesquik. Be careful, to be mixed by ourselves.

    Not really a place for nice drinks. For some unknown reason, they don't accept credit cards at night.

    Great location but unfortunately the member of staff is rude and unfriendly. I asked for food options and presented me with a platter of food without giving price options. When I asked for a smaller potion he touched the food with his bare unwashed hands.

    Good service and nice staff, and great location. There are great outdoor sitting, although they would close some chairs/tables at 19:00. Non-alcoholic ginger beer was great!

  • 5/5 William F. 9 months ago on Google • 327 reviews
    Great spot to have a drink in. Relaxed atmosphere next to the river and away from the busy city centre. Good drinks on offer here as well and at a pretty reasonable price. Worth going to if you want something a little quieter.

    Very good chill bar. You need to order the drinks at the bar. Perfect spot for working during the day and people watching in the evening.

    Often with live jazz music, great location overlooking the fork where the two rivers meet. The benches around the 500 yr old tree a few meters away overlook the Sihlpost exit of Zurich Main Station

    Best negroni cocktails!! Would recommend this place to everybody! Great service as well!

  • 5/5 David M. 8 months ago on Google
    Always great to grab a beer there.

  • 4/5 Cédric 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot for an outdoors afternoon drink. Can be quite busy on sunny days as well as noisy from the street, but you can always take your drinks to go and sit in the mini park between the 2 rivers. 🍹

    Always a good place for an after-work drink with a relaxed atmosphere. Self-service.

  • 5/5 Johanny P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly and cozy environment! Also very central to the main station.

  • 5/5 Ana J. 1 year ago on Google
    Just a great place to aperò. Thx for the cool ambience. I just need to said that with the new umbrellas, they are closed 🔐 because they are afraid that will be raining, and they should be open if it's not. Like today. 🙂

  • 5/5 Arghya D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice ambience

  • 3/5 Alessandro T. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice spot and good beer. No service at the table and long queue at the bar to get the order.

  • 3/5 Gaelle G. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool place. It s just a pity that they dont serve outside.

  • 5/5 Giorgos L. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely and very alive place (not on my picture though because this is 9 in the morning)

  • 2/5 Mac T. 2 years ago on Google
    We had lunch there on 03/09. Lasagna was a disaster. Should not call this a lasagna.. Service is not slow, it's beyond that. In the same line people are asking for cappuccino and other want to have a quick lunch. Really painfull experience. Location is nice 👌

  • 4/5 Daniel F. 2 years ago on Google
    Relaxing atmosphere, centrally located, urban style bar and cafe. Possibly not the most pittoresque place, however nice outdoor seating area. Good place to start an evening out or as a meeting point next to central station.
