Bar am Wasser

Bar am Wasser is a drinks-focused bar at Stadthausquai 1 in Zurich. Its identity is tied to the setting and to a clear, considered view of alcohol as something that can be enjoyed responsibly rather than rejected because it may be misused. The result is a venue centered on the bar experience, with alcoholic drinks and conversation taking priority.

The atmosphere is suited to relaxed evening visits and informal meet-ups. Service begins in the late afternoon and continues into the night, with later closing times toward the end of the week. The schedule runs from Tuesday to Saturday, giving the venue a distinct after-work and evening rhythm rather than an all-day café format.

Bar am Wasser presents itself in a direct and uncluttered way. The venue’s name, address and concept place it firmly within the Stadthausquai setting, while its walk-in format keeps visits spontaneous. It works for guests looking for a dedicated place to meet over drinks without the structure of a formal restaurant booking.

The venue also handles bespoke bar catering and event enquiries. Those looking to arrange a private or event-based drinks service can contact the bar directly by email. This makes the space relevant both for casual visits and for tailored occasions that require advance coordination.

Bar am Wasser suits adult groups, after-work gatherings and late-evening conversations. Its character comes from a focused bar format, a responsible approach to alcohol and a location on Stadthausquai. Guests seeking a straightforward drinks venue in central Zurich can consider it for an informal visit, while event organisers can enquire about customised bar services.
