Salon Helvetica

A typographic drinking room above the Limmat, grid-perfect, gloriously neutral.

A short list, a long counter, and no music you have to talk over.

Spirits are chosen rather than collected: a working back bar, a handful of things worth asking about, and an aperitivo hour that is genuinely an hour. Snacks come from the kitchen next door and change with whatever it has left.

There is no dress code, and dressing up is nonetheless common.

You will find it in Zurich, Switzerland. Check the listing before travelling; times move with the season.
