The Swiss craft beer selection and inventive menu attract music and sports fans who appreciate venues with genuine character, and the underground bar regularly hosts post-concert parties for Hallenstadion acts.

Things to Do

Langstrasse Bar Mile

Langstrasse is Zurich's most democratic street — a vibrant, slightly gritty bar mile in District 4 where FC Zurich and Grasshoppers fans mix with techno enthusiasts, music fans, and international visitors in a dozen bars ranging from dive to cool. The walk from Helvetiaplatz to Central takes an hour minimum if you stop at every interesting bar, which is the only correct approach. On Swiss Super League match days, the street's bars buzz with pre-match energy, and after concerts at Kaufleuten the post-show spill into Langstrasse is a Zurich tradition.
