Kon-Tiki - Zürich

Zürich, Switzerland

Kon-Tiki dates from 1955 and still has some great details from the period. Rather than being a tiki bar, it was inspired by the famed Kon-Tiki voyage; the exploration's logo is used as the logo of the bar. The Floss Bar is connected inside.

Closed briefly for a couple of months in 2016 but re-opened under new ownership.

Although the Kon-Tiki looks much the same as it has for the last 60+ years, as the new signs proclaim, it is now one of the first legal weed coffee shops in Zurich. You can buy four different strains of cannabis at the counter — Lion Haze, Orange Bud, Purple Bud and Kon-Tiki Kush — and smoke your purchase in the large upstairs lounge. However, by law, their cannabis can contain no more than 1% THC, so may be less potent than some users are expecting.
