Rotenschild

Rotenschild on Obere Sandstrasse belongs to the places you only find if you know where to look — or if someone gives you the tip. The bar hides behind an inconspicuous facade and reveals itself inside as a cozy space with a large communal table as its centerpiece. This concept encourages conversations between strangers and creates an atmosphere reminiscent of a private living room.

The drinks menu is concise but thoughtful — wine and selected cocktails take the spotlight. Quality is reliable, and prices are appropriate for what is offered. Rotenschild attracts a crowd that values conversation culture and wants to leave the mass bustle of Sandstrasse behind. During the week it is often pleasantly quiet; on weekends the limited space can fill up quickly.
