Favorite bar in Zürich, great setting & art, super layout, amazing staff, talented young (and older) DJs. Some nights have been really unique in that the dynamic changed from a slow night into a full blown rave during the course of a conversation. You come in expecting nothing, order a drink, smoke some cigarettes and have a nice talk with your friend. And you watch the few other people that are sitting around. This feels rather like sitting at a seaside bar on a weekday night when the tourists have left the island. But gradually the scene transforms, people enter, the beats change, some people dance. The next moment you find yourself in the midst of a raving mass and you wonder where everyone came from, it is like every kid in zürich decided, all at the same time, to come to Bar 3000 to dance. Then you leave the bar for a breath of air and notice that the whole of Langstrasse has exploded with this same energy, it‘s all raving, steaming, flowing over up to Helvetiaplatz and beyond. It doesn’t look or feel like Zürich, it’s somehow freer, more diverse, more interesting, yeah, on some nights this part of the city transform magically and Bar 3000 is part of that transformational process.
