Frommer's Review
By daylight, this place resembles a simple bistro, with varnished pine paneling, high ceilings, and accessories that hint at its beer-hall-style origins around the turn of the 20th century. A simple menu of Wiener schnitzels and roasted chicken accompanies mugs of beer and glasses of wine. By nightfall, however, the place is filled with the young and the restless, and on nights when a DJ spins state-of-the-art dance music, the place is mobbed. It isn't a disco per se, but rather a bar and restaurant that just happens to play dance music, and which just happens to attract a crowd of TV announcers, journalists, and artists in modern-day Zurich. As such, you'll probably be tapping your feet to the music but not actually dancing, unless a group of rowdies breaks loose from their drinking and spontaneously begins to gyrate. The weekly schedule of which spinmeister will be on duty is clearly marked on a blackboard several days in advance, adding an element of star quality to the artist who's actually selecting the music. Food is served Monday to Saturday from 9am to 10pm, and Sunday from 5 to 10pm. A DJ plays Thursday to Saturday from 9pm to 4am. Open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 2 or 4am, Sunday from 5pm to 2am.
