Longstreet Bar — Restaurant in Zurich

There are Streets...There are long Streets... And then there is Longstreet. Let's talk about it.

So first off: I have to confess something: I might be a little biassed on this one because so many personal memories are connected to this place that there is no way this review will be objective. But I'll try my best.

Bar Longstreet is a bar right in the middle of the notorious Longstreet in Zurich's Circle 4. And not only is it named after the street, it also represents a lot of the things the street is known for. Nightlife, people meeting new people in the streets, in bars and clubs where you enjoy more than one drink, and the night doesn't end until dawn and beyond.

The club itself is a medium-sized 2-floor space with a small bar and a lounge on the upper floor and a bigger bar downstairs. The dance floors are small and intimate which allows for getting closer, something I personally like a lot. The music style is mostly urban and so is the crowd. But the club doesn't really end with the building... it extends outside.

Right in front of the club is an open space where you can sit earlier in the evening and have a drink. But as soon as it gets dark, these tables get removed. Now there's room for what's just as much Bar Longstreet as the building itself. People who are about to go inside mix with people that just stepped out to talk to someone they met inside. Random people from the street just wandering by, and others sitting under the big tree that's surrounded by benches. Others stand by the water fountain, which might be helpful after drink number 4. Stories get told and forgotten. Numbers shared, called or never used. One thing is for sure something is always going on and you might want to be a part of it.

Of course, I could go on and on about this place, but words can only get you so far... You have to experience it to really know it. So to conclude and make a long story less long (no pun intended): I love the place. It has a unique vibe and if you happen to find yourself on the most notorious street in Zurich there is no way around it. Go check for yourself and I might see you there.

Enjoy!

Review by Umchreis -...

This place is pretty popular among student and younger folks in general. A nice place to hang out with your friends. Be aware it can get pretty crowded here. In warm sunny weather you can enjoy sitting outside. The staff is friendly and answers questions about drinks and other stuff. When I was there some seats were spilled with the last guests drink and I had to remove it myself. Not that of a fuss but it would be nice when the staff would go around from time to time and check if everything was clean. The prices are OK for Zurich and I can recommend this place everyone who wants...

This place is among the nicer and chiller places on long street in my opinion. And the cute little waitress is just to die for. She was very kind and helpful with what we needed help with. If you're in Zurich and you want to party, take beer her 🍻 if your on a family trip, I would recommend you stay out of this street. Keep in mind, they are not so good in...
