A café-bar and meeting space on the first floor of Zürich HB, from NZZ and Candrian Hospitality — coffee to cocktails, with a front-row view of the platforms.
NZZ Bar opened Thursday, August 13, 2026, replacing the former Time Lounge on the first floor of Zürich Hauptbahnhof's main hall. It's run by Candrian Hospitality — also behind Brasserie Lipp, Brasserie Schiller, and Au Premier — in partnership with Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
The 60-seat space serves everything from sourdough breakfast and fresh bowls to beef tartare, wine, and signature cocktails, plus two meeting rooms ("Debatte" and "Perspektive") bookable by the half or full day. Orders come with up to two hours of complimentary nzz.ch access.

From our guides to Zürich
- October's New Openings — and Which Ones You Can Actually Book for an Event
A pop-up brasserie you can take over for 24, a guild-house hall in Bern's old town, a dinner show for the Christmas party, and a Thai canteen in Geneva you can hire on Saturdays — the October openings worth knowing about, and what each one is actually good for.
- September's New Openings — and Which Ones You Can Actually Book for an Event
An event hall built entirely for private hire, a lakeside cocktail bar already taking Christmas dinner enquiries, a rebuilt techno club that doubles as a corporate party room, and a 700-year-old Altstadt house for the client dinner that matters — the September openings worth knowing about, and what each one is actually good for.
