Mars Bar Zurich – Yes, there's life on Mars

""Mars Bar" Zurich has been around for ages and always stayed true to itself. It's the bar I suggest to avoid discussions of where to meet..."

Ah, the good old Mars Bar. It's been around for ages, has seen its neighbors being closed, torn down and reopened, has witnessed the whole Kreis 4 transform to the trendy area it has become, but it's always stayed true to itself. And why change? It's just such a likable place as it is - a bar with a vibe you wish all bars would possess.

The atmosphere is peaceful and laid-back, the crowd is always friendly and approachable, the music isn't blasting and allows for compelling discussions and there's even a smokers lounge that isn't just a larger cupboard with no ventilation (like in so many other bars).

It's a great locale to meet old friends, find new soul mates or just discuss the different varieties of Swiss beer with the barkeeper - a great place to laugh, to reminisce or to get the evening started. In short: It's the bar you suggest to friends to avoid discussions of where to meet - because everybody likes going to the Mars Bar.
