169 West

Can’t believe I’ve been coming here almost weekly for two years and never rated this place! This is THE place for natural wine in Zurich. The wine selection is exceptionally curated and changes regularly, with a variety of choices by the glass and by the bottle. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and can discuss all the wines in the selection (a feat in itself) to both more experienced wine drinkers and beginners who want a suggestion. Most importantly, everyone is super nice and it’s always a pleasure to see them :) There’s great quality coffee and nibbles as well! The location is very central without being directly on the main nightlife street of the area, which gives a more relaxed vibe. The interior is super cozy.

Such a cool and nice bar for a glass of natural wine, food to pick at good too. This is my favourite place for a good chat and catch up with friends. Staff lovely and helpful, wine perfect, atmosphere great! Love coming back here over and over

One of the best places in Zurich in terms of quality and vibes. Great selection of natural wines, with the hosts always ready to explain and have discussions about wine and everything. We always end up in deep and meaningful discussions when we are at West.

169 West is a lively bar that offers a nice selection of natural wines and tasty snacks. The staff is very helpful and will help you choose a wine of your liking and try it out. We also had tapenade as an appetiser, which complemented the wine very nicely (and reminded us of the South Of France). Recommended

169 West Wine Bar is a gem in the heart of Zurich. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The wine selection changes pretty often but there are always some interesting options to choose from. They also have a beautiful selection of snacks to go along with your wine which are all delicious! I will be coming back here many more times in the future.

I came here to buy some bread from a short term residency of another baker. Unfortunately I made a mistake and was a week early. Luckily they were open and serving food. The cheese toastie was fantastic. I think next time I go I need to try the kaya toast, but I fancied the chocolate cake instead.

Quite disappointing if you are not going to get a bottle. They have only one of white, red and orange wine open and it often happens that none of them might be up to your liking. Also, music they play is not matching the whole vibe as it sound Avery alternative and annoying. The staff was very friendly, attentive and accommodating which is why I am giving 3 ⭐️

Very hipser spot in the headquarters of the movement. Funky wine and sometimes less funky one. Options by the glass for white red orange bubbly. Great place for a night out. Loud, but not unbearable. Ask the staff about which 3 wineries they have best relationship with. Recommend having white. If you would like the least organic/biodinamic wine probably try Kopin... Not our favorite :) Downside: They only have 1 restroom which for a spot with 30 seats can be tricky..
