Cranberry

Polished, preppy, relaxed and friendly, Cranberry has been Zurich’s chief LGBT crowdpleaser for more than 20 years. Mainly male A-gays both young and old flock to this smart, two-storey bar in the heart of the old town for the justly famous cocktails (as everywhere in this town they are far from cheap) and chilled chat, even if the tunes hover at the cheesy end of the spectrum. In summer the outdoor seating on the street is the hottest LGBT people-watching spot the city has to offer. For visitors to Zurich Cranberry is the perfect first stop, with affable locals the best source of news on what’s on, who’s who and where’s hot.
