Dadabar

Dadabar is a café and cocktail bar at Limmatquai 136 in Zurich’s Old Town, close to the Limmat and Central. Its setting suits a range of visits, from a morning coffee and a short pause during a day in the city to an afterwork drink or an evening aperitivo.

During the day, the bar has a warm, relaxed character. Coffee is the main focus, with the space designed for informal conversations, meetings and breaks while exploring the surrounding streets. The atmosphere combines a polished look with creative touches, reflecting the venue’s connection to art and urban culture without becoming formal.

In the evening, Dadabar takes on a livelier cocktail-bar feel. The drinks menu centres on creative cocktails alongside familiar bar choices, with combinations built around spirits, citrus, fruit, ginger and coffee. Aperitivo gatherings and sunset drinks make the venue suitable for a first stop after work or for a casual evening in the Niederdorf area. The cocktail selection includes house creations as well as options for guests who enjoy classics with a more contemporary presentation.

A terrace adds an outdoor option when the weather allows. It gives the café-bar a place for coffee, conversation or an early evening drink while keeping the riverside location close at hand. The setting works for solo coffee stops, meetings between friends and professional get-togethers, while the central location also makes it practical for visitors combining a drink with a walk through the Old Town.

Dadabar also caters for private occasions, including company aperitifs and personal celebrations. Its combination of daytime café service, evening drinks, a terrace and a central riverside address gives the venue flexibility across the day. It is best suited to guests looking for coffee, cocktails and a sociable setting rather than a full restaurant meal.
