On a Sunday night, this bar is open later than most everywhere else in Zurich, aside from its…read moreLangstrasse neighboring bars that cater to a very different audience (think establishments with clothing optional "performances" and all night hookah bars). It's a bit divey, for sure, but not in a dirty or dingy way. Despite Yelp saying that credit cards are accepted here, the bartenders told me otherwise (with a 30CHF bill), so keep that in mind if you're visiting from out of town and have limited Swiss currency. I'm guessing those instances are probably limited, given the relative neighborhood-y feel to the bar, but with its proximity to the train station you never know. There's not much specifically identifiable as great about Olé Olé, but it's the culmination of everything about the place that just makes it generally lovable. The bartender gals are cheerful and charming, and even manage to have their own labeled beer as a result of their infamy. The patrons are chill, but friendly, so much so that we wound up back at the flat of one of the people we met at the bar to have some after-hours drinks and inevitably chat about global politics (some things never change). Pricing seemed decent, with 4 beers (I think) being about 25-30CHF. They only had the local beer Amboss on draft in two varieties, which was pretty mediocre, but still better than the Bud or Miller products you would find in a similar dive back in the U.S. This definitely feels like more of a shots or whiskey sipping kind of bar. The bathroom deserves its own special mention here, with some of the most odd / interesting decor I've ever seen, featuring a full size skeleton hovering over the toilet with a bouquet of flowers for a groin, and a machine that dispenses something called "Travel Pussy".

The crowd is kinda down-to-earth till the a-wanna-be-a-hipster. The music is nice (alternative - Rock). Prices of drinks are OK. Normal prices for Kreis 4. Just pay attention, it is a narrow bar. It gets difficult when you are with more then 4 people. And you can not be outside because it is right at the street. For sure a place to go once in a while.

There's some comments about them not being fond of tourists, but we had no issues. Maybe we're just friendly, idk, they seemed delighted we were enjoying their beer, and I could have sat there all afternoon in the shade. A real gem.

I'm sitting in the bar right this moment and not one, but two separate bartenders (men) told me…read morethis bar is "for locals" and they don't have menu's in anything other than Swiss-German and I could "use my phone" to translate. They also made it clear the food here, at what for all intensive purposes looks like a dive-bar back in the USA, does not sale "bar food." Apparently, their cook is high-class so don't come looking for fries or pizza (for example today the dish is "curry" which can be made vegetarian friendly). The staff is uppity, rude, and though signs say "international welcome" I certainly do not feel welcome to their over priced, low-self-service, absolutely rude company. If you want to see flash on the walls, have an inflated drink because the river is outside the patio full of cigarette smokers, and feel dehumanized because you're American or "other" (as he made fun of Italians and French when I explained we were there too) then come here. 0% chance I would return.

They have a great menu including traditional Swiss meals that are amazing. The service is great and we always have a great dinning experience. This time we came in June, which was a whole different experience. Instead of sitting outside they have the entire restaurant out back on different level terraces that are surrounded by flowers. We initially were in the way back which was a little hot as there wasn't much air flow but after there was a no show party the server moved us to a better table. We started of with some wine and a gin n tonic. For the meal I had the summer garden with falafels which was amazing. It was very light but also filling and the falafels where super tasty. Overall great experience and would highly recommend this place when in Zurich.

The drinks would fall in the category of borderline kiddie cocktails compared to those often found in the States. Needless to stay my $32 at Simplon did nothing...not a thing...in the realm of winding down. The only reaction I had was feeling poor (in the best of company and surroundings). On the upside, this is a beautiful bar. Wisely selected by my Zurich Yelp counterpart, Simon, who joined me and some Swiss Yelpers for a few cocktails on the outside benches. The waitstaff was extremely friendly and hospitable. Promptly greeted with an addictive popcorn whose flavors I couldn't seem to pinpoint (savory, heavy on the butter) - my hand kept going back for more - and more. Our table had a variety of delicious drinks including a thick and refreshing Pina Colada and Basil Smash. Despite its very lavish design and decor, Simplon Bar achieves an inviting and casual ambiance that would easily make me a regular.

We popped up for a quick drink after dinner, on a weekday (off-season), and found the place occupied but not busy. We got to pick a booth by the window and settled in for a snack and a drink. The views of the city are incredible and, even though it was raining, we spent most of our time glancing out at the world. That isn't to say we didn't enjoy our libations, because we certainly did, but the sights simply enhanced the experience. The space is large and we already saw advertisements for New Year's Eve celebrations - what a place to ring in the new year! There is an upstairs in addition to the main floor so it seems like they can easily accommodate any size event. We enjoyed the classy decor that really gave it an upscale vibe and the service was what we expected (fine, nothing incredible). I can't recommend enough checking this place out. You're going to have a blast, I promise!
