Cranberry Bar

One of Zurich's oldest gay bars, running since the 1980s in the old town. A reliable local spot with a predominantly gay male crowd and no pretension.

Cranberry has been operating on Metzgergasse since the 1980s, making it one of the longest-running gay bars in the city. It sits in Zurich's Altstadt, which keeps it on the radar of both regulars and visitors passing through the area. The crowd skews toward gay men and leans local rather than tourist-heavy despite the central location.
