CP First - Bar Zürich

CP First is a cocktail bar and lounge on Schneggengasse in Niederdorf, one of the old-town neighbourhoods of Zurich. The setting is designed for drinks and conversation, with seating suited to meeting friends and lingering over a cocktail rather than having a full meal. Its character is relaxed and social, making it a natural fit for an evening catch-up, a casual drink or a pause during a walk through the old town.

The drinks menu centres on cocktails prepared in several styles. Signature creations sit alongside familiar classics, with choices ranging from tropical and fruit-led combinations to drinks built around gin, rum, vodka, whisky, tequila and other spirits. The selection also includes fizzes and sours, aperitifs, champagne drinks and longer mixed drinks, giving both classic cocktail drinkers and guests looking for something more playful plenty of directions to explore.

Several recognisable cocktail styles appear on the menu, including Moscow Mules, Mojitos, Pimm’s Cups, Daiquiris, Margaritas, Cosmopolitans and Martinis. House creations add a more individual touch, while the menu also makes room for frozen variations and colourful, tropical serves. The bar can prepare a requested drink when it is not already listed, subject to the available ingredients.

Non-alcoholic drinks form part of the offering, alongside beer, wine and other options for guests who are not choosing a cocktail. This makes the venue workable for mixed groups with different drinking preferences. The menu is clearly drinks-led, with the focus placed on the bar experience rather than food.

CP First suits friends meeting in Niederdorf, visitors seeking a dedicated cocktail stop and anyone interested in comparing classic recipes with house-style creations. The lounge format also works for small social gatherings, while larger groups benefit from checking arrangements in advance. The address is Schneggengasse 8, 8001 Zürich.
