Longstreet Bar

Longstreet Bar is on Langstrasse, the street that runs through Kreis 4 and Kreis 5 and forms the heart of Zürich's alternative nightlife. The Langstrasse district was long known as the red-light quarter and has been transformed in recent decades into a multicultural nightlife zone of bars, clubs, and international restaurants, with the bar at number 92 among the better-known addresses on the strip. The mood is casual and mixed, attracting a crowd of locals, students, and visitors, with drinks priced at around CHF 8-16 (approx $10-20), and the surrounding blocks provide plenty of other options for a longer night. Opening hours were not confirmed in sources consulted, but late-night opening on Thursday to Saturday is typical on Langstrasse, so visitors should check the bar's current listing before going. The area is generally lively until the early hours at weekends and is considered safe in the main bar zones, although visitors should stay alert for pickpockets and avoid the quiet side streets late at night. Langstrasse is about ten minutes' walk from the Hauptbahnhof or a short tram ride to Helvetiaplatz, and night buses and the S-Bahn night network connect the district to the wider city. The bar is a convenient base for an evening on the street that also includes Mata Hari at Langstrasse 237 and the clubs of Zürich West nearby.
