Was delighted they had augustiener, which is the best beer in the world. I'd say this is a local spot, but they are more than happy to chat you up, give you great beer, and send you on your way with a head full of recommendations. Unpretentious in every way. Also they gave me some free postcards.

Finally I found a bar where I don't have to be ashamed not to have Ray Ban sun glasses !!!…read more I have nothing against Ray Ban glasses, but I just don't like when a place is filled with bankers who are only talking about their expensive stuff :) This place is really down to earth. Nothing complicated, easy going and nice atmosphere. The staff is OK, but could be a little bit more friendly :) At the weekend it really get crowded. So get used to it to wait for a few beers. You will see me more here in winter because the outdoor area is not the best one. There are better outside summer options in Zurich. Anyway, cool bar to have a beer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Can't believe that I didn't know this bar before living so near by!…read more I liked it a lot because it has live music showcases (no cover, but they do pass the hat to collect some money) and also after the show the music and ambience is just what I like! Really casual and with no entrance price this is a nice place to go out on friday or the weekend. It does get full during the show, but that is fine and after it is pretty relaxed and you can dance away! I'll come back again and hopefully with the guys from Yelp, since the next round is on me!! http://www.bar-rossi.ch/info.html

This is a fantastic little hole in the wall place. Bar Rossi doesn't try to be anything that its…read morenot, just a very chilled location to have beer and enjoy live music. And my goodness it does this extremely well. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The clientele is in no way predefined. There is an eclectic mix of young and old, nerdy and hipster, locals and foreigners. Basically it is a place where everyone can just feel comfortable. The best thing about this place though is the live music. I have been there quite a few times, with absolutely no idea of who/what was playing and each time pleasantly surprised with the quality of music that is on show. The bar is not that big which helps in making the atmosphere as it doesn't require many people to give it that full/pumping feel. And as much a people squeeze into the back, there is always room at the front for a little boogie. After the bands back up, a DJ is generally on hand to lay down some tracks and set the mood. One of my favourite bars in Zürich!

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. Has the feel of someone turning their barn into a handout with local art and patrons. Didn't find it any more expending than anything else.

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.

We had traditional German offerings like schnitzel, rosti mit speck und kase uberbacken, and drinks like hefewizen. Our waiter spoke English and did a good job explaining the food that we had. Enjoy the baked sesame bread rolls. Only surprise we had is the 19% sales tax - Almost twice the amount consumers pay for sales tax, at least on the majority of the West Coast!
