Zurich’s VIP Cocktail Bars for Escort Dates
Some dates call for more than just a quiet drink. They call for a setting that feels as classy and refined as the company you are with. In Zurich, that means stepping into one of the city’s VIP cocktail lounges...
Below, we have chosen five high-end lounges that work especially well for a discreet date with one of the elegant escorts Zurich has to offer.

1. Widder Bar
- Location: Widdergasse 6 / Rennweg 7, 8001 Zurich
- Google Rating: 4.6 / 5 (1,100+ reviews)
- Average Cocktail Price: Around CHF 25–30 per drink
- Best For: Classic first dates, whisky flights, live piano, refined hotel-bar atmosphere
Widder Bar is what we would call a classic hotel lounge done properly. Located inside the five-star Widder Hotel, this bar feels like a hidden library of spirits: more than 650 whiskies and over 1,200 bottles in total, displayed floor to ceiling in warm light. Ancient wooden beams, red leather seating, and a lapis lazuli feature wall give the space a rich, intimate character that suits an upscale escort date perfectly.
The venue's bartenders are used to guests who know their drinks, and are just as comfortable making you a bespoke martini as they are pouring a rare single malt. Ask for the signature cocktail list if you want something modern, or let your companion choose a drink for the two of you to enjoy.
For escort dates, Widder works well as a first stop. The live piano (on selected evenings) adds just enough energy to the room without making conversation difficult. It is also central, which makes it easy to stroll to dinner afterwards or back to your hotel together.

2. Jules Verne Panoramabar
- Location: Uraniastrasse 9 (via Brasserie Lipp), 8001 Zurich
- Google Rating: 4.5 / 5 (1,700+ reviews)
- Average Cocktail Price: Around CHF 20–24 per drink
- Best For: Sunset dates, first meetings, panoramic city and lake views
If you want your date to feel like a scene from a film, take her up to Jules Verne Panoramabar. Set in the tower above Brasserie Lipp, this circular bar offers 360-degree views over Zurich’s rooftops, the lake, and the distant Alps.
Because of the view, timing is quite important here. Early evening is ideal. Arrive just before sunset, ask for a window table if available, and take in the city lights while you get to know your companion a little better. Although compact, the cocktail list is extremely well executed, with plenty of classics and house creations that pair well with the setting. A simple Champagne cocktail or a crisp gin-based drink works particularly well in this environment.
For escort dates, Jules Verne suits clients who enjoy a bit of theatre and excitement. However, because the bar is popular with visitors, it is worth arriving on the earlier side of the evening rather than at peak time.
If you are meeting your dinner date escort for the first time, Jules Verne is also easy to reach from the city centre, simple to find, and close to many of Zurich’s best restaurants. What more could you ask for?
3. Kronenhalle Bar
- Location: Rämistrasse 4, 8001 Zurich
- Google Rating: 4.6 / 5 (2,200+ reviews for restaurant and bar)
- Average Cocktail Price: Around CHF 20–25 per drink
- Best For: Old-school glamour, art lovers, post-dinner nightcaps
Kronenhalle is a Zurich institution. The restaurant has been part of the city’s social life for a century, and the bar, opened in the 1960s, has retained that aura of old European glamour. Step inside and you will find mahogany panelling, green leather seating, and original artworks and sketches on the walls. In other words, this venue really is a treat for the eyes.
Kronenhalle is also known for its perfectly balanced martinis, sidecars, and house signatures that respect traditional recipes while adding subtle modern twists. You will not find experimental foams and smoke here... only classic drinks that have stood the test of time.
For escort dates, Kronenhalle works beautifully when you want to signal seriousness and taste. It suits a well-dressed couple, perhaps arriving after dinner at the restaurant or at another fine dining spot nearby. The bar team are used to regulars, business clients, and discreet couples, so you can expect a high level of professionalism and privacy.
If your companion enjoys art, history, or simply good people-watching, Kronenhalle is a strong choice. Choose seats at the bar if you want to watch the bartenders work, or a small table if you prefer a little privacy.
4. Tales Bar
- Location: Selnaustrasse 29, 8001 Zurich
- Google Rating: Approximately 4.8 / 5
- Average Cocktail Price: Around CHF 20–25 per drink
- Best For: Intimate second dates, creative cocktails, late-night conversation
Tales Bar feels less like a hotel lounge and more like a very stylish living room. The space is compact, warm, and dimly lit, with candlelight, plenty of wood, and a relaxed soundtrack. It is popular with locals who care about cocktails, which gives it a different energy from the more formal hotel bars.
Because of the size, Tales is best when you want intimacy. It also opens late, which makes it ideal as a second or third stop on a longer escort date. But where Tales really shines is in the menu. Expect a mix of perfectly executed classics and inventive signatures that play with seasonal ingredients, house infusions, and playful presentation. If you enjoy discovering new flavours together, this is an excellent place to do it.
If you (and your companion) appreciate cosy, slightly bohemian spaces rather than formal hotel lobbies, this bar will feel like exactly the right choice. Just remember that seating can be limited on busy nights, so arriving a little earlier or being flexible about where you sit is wise.
5. Old Crow
- Location: Schwanengasse 4, 8001 Zurich
- Google Rating: Around 4.7 / 5
- Average Cocktail Price: Around CHF 20–25 per drink (more for rare whiskies)
- Best For: Connoisseurs, whisky lovers, unhurried late-evening dates
Hidden in a small side street in the Old Town, Old Crow has the feel of a serious connoisseur’s bar. Behind the counter, shelves are lined with more than 1,600 spirits, many of them rare bottles from the owners’ personal collection. The focus is on whisky, bourbon, and rye, but you will also find exceptional rums, gins, and other spirits that you will not see on many other menus.
The interior is deliberately understated, with its dark wood, comfortable seating, soft lighting, and quiet background music. Bartenders are generous with their knowledge and will gladly talk you through the options, make recommendations, or build a drink around a bottle that catches your eye.
For an escort date, Old Crow is ideal if you enjoy slowing down and savouring. If you and your companion share an interest in whisky or rare spirits, this is an excellent place to explore a flight together or to mark a special occasion with a unique pour.
Because seating is limited and the bar is popular, it is worth planning Old Crow as a focused stop rather than somewhere you simply drop into. Treat it as the climax to your evening... a place to end the night on an elegant note before walking back to your hotel together
Which Will You Choose?
Whichever venue you choose, a little planning goes a long way. Check opening hours, think about whether you want to sit at the bar or at a table, and make sure your escort knows the plan in advance so she can dress accordingly. Many clients like to combine one of these bars with a dinner date booking or an extended evening arrangement.
