BarMünster

In the heart of Old Town Zürich, just a stone’s throw from the Limmat and the legendary church towers, BarMünster offers a refined yet friendly cocktail experience. Located at Münstergasse 30, 8001 Zürich, this cocktail bar exudes a polished but comfortable ambiance with antique-style lamps, green leather benches and high tables arranged around a prominent stone bar. The bar’s concept is straightforward but effective: friendly, competent service with a serious focus on cocktails, fair pricing and a capable wine or beer offering for those looking for something simpler. With a menu boasting around 100 cocktails, the bartenders are ready to craft something tailored — either directly from the menu or based on your preferred flavour profile. Food is modest but sufficient — expect antipasti plates (with or without Bündner Salsiz), tomato-mozzarella salads and chocolate cake — designed to accompany the drinks rather than act as a full dinner. The environment is welcoming, making it suitable for business apéros, birthday drinks, casual get-togethers or a calm pre-club stop. The layout allows for three high tables up to 25 people, and a standing area up to 40 guests for slightly larger gatherings. Opening hours vary slightly: Monday–Thursday from 17:00 until midnight, Fridays from 17:00 to 02:00, Saturdays starting 14:00 to 02:00, and Sundays from around 15:00 until 23:00. During busy evenings, especially weekends, the vibe is more lively, but the core ethos remains cocktail-and-conversation rather than full club mode. Whether you're exploring Zürich’s Niederdorf district, starting your evening out or winding down after shows or meetings, BarMünster offers a dependable spot for well-made drinks, relaxed company and central location convenience.
