Cranberry Bar

Cranberry Bar is a queer cocktail bar in central Zurich, welcoming gays, friends and guests looking for an evening nightlife setting. The venue combines friendly hospitality with a drinks-led concept, making cocktails the main focus of the experience. Its character is social and relaxed, with space for meeting, conversation and shared time at the bar.

The drinks programme is built around cocktails and other beverages rather than a food-led menu. Cranberry Bar’s identity comes from its cocktail culture, with a setting suited to guests who want to begin an evening out, meet friends or spend time in a dedicated queer venue. The atmosphere is designed for mingling and conversation, while still fitting naturally into Zurich’s nightlife scene.

The venue also has an upstairs space known as the Campari Room. This room provides a separate setting for private parties, smaller meetings and other group occasions. It can be booked for an exclusive event from Sunday to Thursday, giving groups an option beyond the regular bar area. The room is particularly relevant for organisers seeking a centrally located indoor space with a bar atmosphere rather than a formal event venue.

Cranberry Bar suits a range of social occasions, including casual drinks with friends, queer nightlife and gatherings connected to the local LGBTQIA+ community. The emphasis remains on drinks, hospitality and an inclusive social environment. Guests interested in cocktails, conversation and a central evening venue will find the format straightforward and focused.

The address is Metzgergasse 3 in Zürich’s 8001 district. The bar operates in the evening, with later closing times on Friday and Saturday than on the other days of the week. Event arrangements, group bookings and questions about the drinks offering can be directed to the venue by email or telephone.
