It is a wall in one of Zurichs nightclubs – the Gonzo. Myfriendfromzurich recently spent a funny night there.

Do you also think it’s time to dance a night away, meet new people or have a few drinks? Then, Zurich is your city! It has the highest density on nightclubs within Switzerland.

Visit one of the following clubs: Zukunft, Kauz, Helsinkiklub, Moods, Exil, Kinski, Hive, Plaza, Stall6 or of course Gonzo.

The girls behind DU&ICH wanted to know “what stays, when love is gone?” And they made an appeal to collect personal mementos of all kind of different people. So, the exhibition DU&ICH is not just about everyday objects. There is a special story behind every single piece. A story of friendship and love. A sad or a funny one.

The pop-up exhibition is taking place at Zum Guten Glück from Friday, 16 January until Sunday, 18 January. Please find all other details on their website or facebook-page.

Enjoy the exhibition and think about the people you once loved and of all the great times you had together.

We are taking a break and are back with you soon…

At this time of the year, everyone is busy seeing their friends and many people (like us) are in a festive mood. All in all: the perfect time to meet for drinks. Our top 5 places for the most delicious cocktails:

1. Dante and Grande: We already blogged about them. Definitely two of our favourite places. Dante is at Kreis 4, in the middle of Zurichs nightlife district. Grande is at the Limmatquai in the city centre.

2. Bovelli, the little brother of Dante and Grande, who opend up just recently, is worth a visit as well. Whatever drink you order, you can choose either a single or a double shot (“if you are in trouble, double”).

3. At Raygrodski ” Zurich people meet to drink, flirt and party”. The bartenders create the cocktails as if they were pieces of art and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Raygrodski is nominated for the Mixology Bar Award 2015 as bar of the year. By the way: Dante is nominated in the same category.

4. A real classic amongst the Cocktail bars in town is the Widder Bar. They offer a wide range on single malt Whiskeys and many delicious drinks. Listen to live jazz music while enjoying your drink.

5. Try something new: order all ingredients for your drink on Wemix.ch and mix it together yourself. Get them either as a 5 or 10 drinks package. What a great thing for your home party with your friends! Or book the barkeepers of wemix.ch for your party and you won’t have to worry about anything.

Do you remember, when the Prime Tower, Switzerlands highest building, still looked like this? This picture was taken almost five years ago!

If you’re up for a view over town, the bar on the top of the Prime Tower is definitely the place to go to, even though the bar and its restaurant are a bit pricey. At the bottom of the tower, there’s the absolute stylish bar Rivington & Sons – definitely the place for strong drinks and good music!

Can you suggest some alternative cosy coffee places? http://my-friend-from-zurich.org/eat-and-drink/id-like-to-enjoy-some-good-artisan-coffee-can-you-suggest-some-alternative-cosy-coffee-places/ http://my-friend-from-zurich.org/eat-and-drink/id-like-to-enjoy-some-good-artisan-coffee-can-you-suggest-some-alternative-cosy-coffee-places/#comments Sun, 07 Dec 2014 11:41:21 +0000 http://my-friend-from-zurich.org/?p=6914 Zurich is definitely a good place for coffee lovers and if you browse our section eat & drink, you’ll find many nice places where we like to hang out and spend our afternoons with good talks and good coffee.

Nevertheless, we’d like to point out three suggestions for you:

Benzin & Koffein: This new additions to Zurichs coffee scene combines the owners love for coffee and motorcycles and offers wine and food too.

La Stanza: One of the best coffees in town, including real “Italianità”.

Café Henrici: Situated at a beautiful square in the old town of Zurich. They put a lot of effort into picking the right mix of beans and roasting, but also adjusting their machines accordingly.

If you’re looking for Zurich brewed coffee to take home as a present, the traditional roasting facility Kaffee Stoll is your go-to.

Hey there, little ice princess! Even though lake Zurich probably won’t freeze this winter either, there are many possibilities to ice skate in town. One of our favorite places is the ice rink on the terrace outside the ETH – the view over the old town is spectacular! The ice rink will be open free of charge until 14 December 2014.

A highlight for all the ice skaters in Zurich is the annual ice disco at the Dolders ice rink – live djs, mulled wine and of course ice skating will make a perfect afternoon. It takes place on the 20. of december.

For an overview on the cities ice rinks, check here.
