Jules Verne Bar

Frommer's Review

To reach the bar, you'll have to ride an elevator to the 11th floor of the Urania Observatory, after passing through the street-level restaurant (Brasserie Lipp) with which it's associated. Views from the windows encompass the center of Zurich and some of the surrounding scenery, and the decor includes nostalgic references to what the bar's namesake envisioned as the technology of the future. The place can get crowded with talkers and drinkers in their 30s and 40s as music plays in the background. You can expect conviviality but not necessarily intimacy here. It's a great happy-hour spot. Open Monday to Thursday 11am to midnight; Friday and Saturday 11am to 1am, Sunday 3 to 11pm.
