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.

Service varies depends on which server you have but all are friendly. Highly recommend especially in summer.

Although it has two levels, the bar is relatively small, so it will look and feel packed very fast. Service is mediocre, prices high - taking advantage of the location. The view disappointed me: I had expected to see more of the city. The audience reveals that this is not a really trendy place (any more): mostly young, mixed, some agglo folks. Nevertheless, this can be a nice step as you drink your way through the neighborhood. Just don't expect it will be the highlight of the night.

Restaurant is on the 36th floor. Service was amazing. Waitress steered me clear of getting kidneys in my dish which was a nice call since I'm not a fan of organ meat. I had the pumpkin with goat cheese starter. Was nice. Main entree was veal over potatoes with cream sauce. Was really good but a bit heavy. Dessert was chestnut vermicelli. Not a fan of chestnuts but was worth trying since that dessert is a local specialty. Overall a great place if you have the pockets for it, since it's on the pricey side.

The space is so beautiful that it makes you want to capture it in photos to take home. The cocktail list is short but extremely inventive and considered. I'm picky about cocktails and was on a stopover after a two week holiday where I shied away from ordering them because nothing seemed worth ordering in the area I was visiting. This menu was overwhelming, though--so many creative and thought-provoking options that it was hard to choose. We each selected one and it was utterly delicious, making us wish we had time for a second! We weren't sure what to wear and were surprised to see quite a mix, from people dressed in smart casual up to elegant attire. So it's not super prescriptive in that way. Also worth noting--my partner is celiac, so we need strict gluten free food with no cross contamination. At least one of the drinks was elaborate enough (featuring lacto-fermented strawberries) that we thought it was worth double checking with the server about cross-contamination. He took it seriously and advised us confidently (as the other hotel staff had done in our hotel experience with the Widder), and my partner stayed safe. So while we didn't order food, I suspect they would have navigated the issue well.

I think there was a special seasonal menu that was only in German though, so we had to get some of the German-speakers in our group to translate it. The restaurant is in an industrial building, but they made it very elegant inside. I saw a lot of suited types dining at other tables, so I suppose this is popular with the work folks for wining and dining. Perhaps this could also be an elegant date place, but I was just there with coworkers. The food was beautifully presented and tasted quite good, but the service was a bit slow. But that could have also been due to our large group.

This side is the more cool side of the Oberer Letten. The bar has two levels: the ground floor and on the rooftop of the containers. You can also eat some thing here. Especially burgers.

And as of september you can have a cheese fondue here. It is nice to eat fondue at the limmat, but not the best one :)
