Olé Olé

Nestled in the heart of the vibrant Langstrasse nightlife district, Olé Olé Bar stands out as one of Zürich’s true institutions. Located at Langstrasse 138 in the 8004 postal code, the bar has been part of the city’s bar scene for decades and is known for its eclectic atmosphere, friendly staff and timeless appeal. Walking through the door, you'll feel the mix of past and present: a space where the décor leans toward classic bar style, including a legendary jukebox, and where you’ll find a diverse crowd—students, office workers, regulars, visitors—all mingling in a lively but welcoming space. The bar thrives on simplicity: good drinks, good company, and that Langstrasse energy. As one local guide describes it: “The bar at Langstrasse 138 … a true original … colourful mixture of guests … every weeknights cosy, weekends crowded and loud.” Opening hours are generous: Monday to Saturday from about 17:00 (5 pm) to 04:00 (+1 day) and Sundays until around 02:00. Though it may not boast boutique cocktails or ultra-luxury interiors, its strength lies in authenticity. Many guests highlight the bar’s consistent atmosphere, the friendly team behind the bar, and the feeling of being part of something familiar yet full of stories. If you’re in Zürich looking for a place to experience local nightlife with a dash of history and an unpretentious vibe, Olé Olé is a strong contender. Great for starting your evening in Kreis 4 (the fourth district) or ending the night after exploring the bars and clubs along Langstrasse. Be prepared for crowds on weekends, and maybe come early to grab your spot.
