Ok, so this, according to yelp, is one of the only 5 karaoke bars in Zurich and is about what you…read moreexpect from a Karaoke bar with a number in the name. The bar doesn't charge an entry fee but they get their money's worth by charging 6.50.- for soft drinks and more than usual prices for alcoholic beverages. The atmosphere was cozy if also a little awkwardly lit giving everything a blueish/purple hue. The most important part was that the Karaoke machine ran and run it did. If our party didn't sing 90s pop ballads some Thai customers would sing a Thai song and, so, we passed the mic back and forth. No break. If you want to sing some Karaoke with friends and not wait half an hour until it's your turn, this is the place. If you just want to have a nice conversation or a beer, maybe go somewhere else.

We got there at 7:45 to find out karaoke doesn't start till 10pm. We were disappointed but decided to go ahead and eat which turned out to be another disappointment.

Awesome hard rock bar. Actually I think it's the greatest rock music bar in Zurich…read more Although I grew up here I only discovered it about a year ago. According to Ruedi, the owner, I must have fallen through some kind of generational gap. In my late teens and early tweens there was a generation change and now there are often younger people saying to Ruedi "hi from my dad, he used to be a regular 20 years ago" ;-) What's really cool: Le Cactus started 34 years ago. And it's still here. And still awesome! It's open all day, but hardrock music starts at 6pm until 2am. There's DJs Wednesday through Saturday with house DJs DeeJoe and Urs plus regular guests. Both DeeJoe and Urs play hard music from the 70's to today. Urs really likes experimental stuff and on Wednesdays you might hear a few 15 minute songs. He turned me into a fan of The Cult and I still have a post-it where he wrote down for me his 3 favorite T-Rex songs. Just ask him questions about music and he'll be happy to share his knowledge and discuss/argue with you ;-) DeeJoe absolutely loves melodic rock from the 80s. And he played lots of Motorhead songs when Lemmy died. He's also a vinyl collector but loves the DJ software on his laptop. Depending on the people present and the current mood he will play classics by Foreigner, Deep Purple and ZZ Top, but also Stratovarius, Metallica and sometimes even Primal Fear, Children of Bodom, and of course the occasional Rammstein. And what I totally love about Le Cactus: Nobody cares what you look like or how old you are. I'm in my mid 40s and met really cool people 20 years younger and older than me. Just make sure you're at least 18. Or look 18 ;-) Obviously I love it here! Duh ;-)

Definitely the place of choice in Zurich if you're into classic rock or just want to have a few…read morebeer. They play classic rock without compromise. No heavy metal, no indie rock - simple, classic rock. Furnished like "your average biker bar", Le Cactus is a true classic and here to stay.

What a fantastic pub. Located in the heart of Zurich we were walking around looking for a place to…read moreget something to eat and get a proper pint and this place was hopping. Unfortunately we got into Xerox so late they were no longer serving food but no matter there was a football game on TV and the locals of course were going berserk for soccer game I don't really understand much for but it was totally awesome to be part of that energy. Of course being Switzerland and Zurich it was pretty expensive almost $40 American for three drinks. When you walk in you see yourself providing there is something available and then you have to order your food and drink from the bar they will deliver it back to your table. They also allow to go drinks and are more than happy. I wish I had more time in Switzerland I really wanted to try their fish and chips

After a 2.5 week adventure in Italy and Switzerland we were craving some fish and chips.

The fish was fresh and crispy served with a basket of fries, tartar sauce and cole slaw. We ordered and paid at the bar and were served at the table. The place has a British pub vibe and is a great spot if you're looking for cozy bar. It's also a little further from the busy old town scene if you want a break from the heavy foot traffic.

Zurich's version of a Miami club, if you know what I mean. The music is mostly, if not entirely,…read moretechno, but once in a while you get a salsa or merengue, and even dembow infused beat. The atmosphere is out of the world. We partied on a Friday night and the Swiss, along with the many foreigners in attendance, come out to enjoy the night. It was a party for the ages. Part of our crew did not want to leave. And yet we remained 'till closing. Knowing that the next day we would pay the price.

Last week was the first time I came on a Thursday, and I was surprised to find it packed. Don't people have to work or go to school on Friday?? I only hung out for about an hour because I had promised to join my friend for a little bit after our dept xmas party, but it was still fun to get our groove on... and burn off some of our massive dinner. ;) I've heard some complaints about this place trying to be too posh, but all of my friends love it, and I've felt equally comfortable dancing in a black cocktail dress and also jeans and a tank top. (Or in the case of last Thursday, what I wore to work.)
