Our Take
Zurich's Niederdorf Whisky Specialist
Old Crow is one of the most respected whisky bars in Zurich. The room is in a Niederdorf basement with around 600 whiskies on the back wall — Scottish single malts dominant, with serious Japanese and American sections.
The bartenders are encyclopedic. The whisky tasting flights are organised by region or distillery. The cocktail programme is whisky-led classical. The Old Fashioned uses premium bourbon by default.
The crowd is older Zurich professionals and whisky enthusiasts. Pair with Widder Bar for a complete Zurich whisky evening.
