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.

Very very disappointing!!! Literally was the worst part of the wedding! And the songs are one of…read morethe most important things to have good. I have shared a list of songs with DJ Shaker/Chaker before the wedding and had multiple phone calls to make sure all went well and we were aligned! He did play almost any of the songs shared! On the day of the wedding he kept asking guests what songs to put on because he did not know! And he kept on repeating some of the songs! What kind of a DJ is he!!! He was the worst memory I have of my wedding! Why would we hire a DJ if we had to worry about what songs to put on and do his work! I will never recommend them! DJ Shaker and DJ Afrit both came and did a bad job!
