Pool Bar

Pool Bar is an outdoor summer venue beside the Sihl at Stauffacherquai 3. Its design draws on the look of 1960s pool bars, with pastel colours, polished materials and architectural details that create a fresh, playful setting within the city. The waterside location gives the bar a clear sense of place while keeping the focus on relaxed outdoor dining and drinking.

The daytime offering centres on a seasonal lunch pop-up. In the evening, the bar shifts towards refreshing cocktails and snacks intended to accompany them. The food and drink concept is compact and summer-oriented, making the venue suited to a light lunch, an aperitif or a casual evening shared over drinks and small bites.

The atmosphere combines retro references with a contemporary outdoor arrangement. Pastel tones provide the visual identity, while the pool-bar theme adds a holiday-inspired note without taking the venue away from its urban setting. The result is a casual bar environment with a defined design language rather than a formal restaurant feel.

Pool Bar also functions as an event setting. Private or group occasions can be arranged beyond the regular service schedule, making the space relevant for summer gatherings as well as individual visits. Its position beside the Sihl and its open-air character make the venue particularly suited to warm-weather plans, from a daytime stop to an evening cocktail occasion.

Regular service is scheduled from Tuesday to Saturday. The venue is seasonal in character, so the outdoor setting and summer menu remain central to the experience. Pool Bar suits guests looking for cocktails, seasonal light food and a distinctive pastel setting near the water, with enough flexibility to accommodate both informal visits and organised events.
