A narrow, warmly lit cocktail bar on Blumenstrasse that feels like drinking in someone's exceptionally well-stocked living room. The High builds drinks with a confidence that comes from knowing its neighbourhood: Glockenbachviertel wants quality without ceremony, and that is precisely what arrives in your glass. The menu balances classics with seasonal originals, the spirit selection is deeper than the room is wide, and the bartenders pour with the unhurried precision of people who care about what they do without needing to perform it. A locals' bar that happens to make excellent cocktails.
