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".

This is a very nice location to go out on a weekend and to have drinks…read more The bar is the beginning of the vibrant part of Langstrasse. The interior is nice and well decorated. 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.

If this bar is not the definition of cool, it was definitely considered when the Websters were…read moredefining cool. Eclectic, hip, funky, all words that spring to mind. A great venue to catch a live gig, for two reasons: the size of this joint allows only limited numbers inside, meaning an intimate atmosphere and the feeling like you can touch the band, the choice of music and gigs here never fails to impress. If you're dressed up and going here, you probably missed the words eclectic, hip, funky that I used before, but that doesn't mean you wont't be welcome. As per the music, this is an anything-goes bar.

This is very spacious, elegant yet cozy lounge and bar. There are plenty of comfortable sofa, and…read morechairs and then high top tables for groups too. Service is great! Very attentive, fast and friendly. Drinks are reasonably priced and all comes with complimentary wasabi nuts/pretzel sticks or peanuts. Just ask if you need refill. Breakfast has only 3 items, Eggs Benedict with ham and toast with avocado slices (14 CHF), pancake with maple syrup and waffle (8-9 CHF). This is a great bargain considering most places charge at least 15 CHF for non-egg dishes and close to 20 CHF for egg dishes. My friends had egg benedict and pancake and both liked them very much. Coffee drinks are not cheap but it's average zurich price (Cappuccino 6.5 CHF). Great place to hang out alone, meet friends or have a casual afterwork drink. PS: free wifi, Gluhwein and winter drinks chalet is made just for winter at the entrance. Don't miss it!

Atrocious waiting times for coat check Super boring and monotonous music Abnormally bitchy girls (perhaps Swiss girls keep it in all week and let out their bitchness during the weekends??)

Sound and people were nice, okay you always find some nasty little a..holes who just sneak around looking 4 trouble, who cares. Beside that everything was fine so far, except the long cue in front of the wardrobe which was nasty, the price for drinks (5.00 chf a beer is okay for Zürich but why does water have to cost the same ? does it ease up the calculation), and why can't you buy some snacks inside, we were lucky to find a kebap shop before coming here otherwise we were starved before the main act. What was hard to understand is, why was the balcony which was closest to the stage blocked ? Can just have security reason but was difficult to understand. Result: Depends on the main act, if I visit the location again or not.

This place is right next to my house and I just made there for the first time yesterday…read more I had bought ticket to see the Lumineers, but it was suppose to be in Winterthur, so when they changed the venue so close to home I was very happy. The place is big and we got in fast. We already had our tickets, so don't know how it is if you when it is just a party. But don't think you'll have to wait up much. We did have to wait a bit to leave our cots, but guess that is normal during winter. The drinks where priced as usual and there was also some food, like fries, to get there. For a show it is a nice venue. Spacious, but cosy at the same time. Going out was the hard part. We even left earlier to get our coats, but they didn't really have a system so they kept going around all the jackets until they found ours. I do want to come here one day for a party. Super plus it is really like 5 min from my house! So I'll definitely check it out again!

Surprisingly quick service at the bar though for how small it is to serve the whole club. The smoker's lounge is like the living room of that friend of yours who chain smoked, and had no life, except watching reruns on the couch all day and letting week-old pizza grow mold on the kitchen counter. Even if you're a smoker, you feel your eyes and lungs screaming in here. The music is electro, progressive I guess. People were friendly. Definitely not pretentious.
