*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Drinks/Bar
Meeting Point: Talacker Bar, Talacker 41

All welcome! Come and meet the faces behind the names. Enjoy a few drinks, make new acquaintances!

Here's the map link

It's around the corner from Paddy Reilly's; staggering distance from Stauffacher, Paradeplatz, Bahnhofstrasse and, er, Kaufleuten.

Trams 2 / 9 to Sihlstrasse.

There'll be an area reserved for us. If in doubt, ask the staff where the English Forum area is and you'll be fine: they all speak English. We're usually in the far back corner, although with warm weather we'll also be loitering outside.

There are often many of us in the bar and we're all, er, English speakers, so you'll have no difficulty finding us.

Most people come alone, so don't be shy of approaching

Is there one of your gatherings next week Uncle Max?
Yes, there will be Although it's not 'my' gathering: the people who attend make the evening what it is / no show without Punch, etc.

Everybody is welcome!

Re: Zurich Midweek Drinks, Talacker Bar

Ps, Cat has arranged an Afternoon Drinks on the same day, so should the evenings not be convenient for you, start a little earlier! I'm sure there'll be some for whom the attraction of a full day and night at the Talacker will prove irresistable...

Re: Zurich Midweek Drinks, Talacker Bar

They've extended serving food into the evenings - it's a popular place at lunchtime for salary people - with a limited but interesting menu list. Examples include asian style meatballs, satay, miso soup etc. but it's the Apèro Teller which always gets my attention: cheese, fruit, various cuts of meats, olives, bread etc. Nice to share

Blimey, Natasha and Stephanwolf already on the Maybe list; what could possibly go wrong..?

Re: Zurich Midweek Drinks, Talacker Bar

Looking through the forum today it seems there are many new members: welcome!

Should you like to get to know some faces to names, our regular Wednesday Midweek Drinks evenings would be a good opportunity. Almost everyone comes on their own - and all did so for the first time once!
It's a very informal atmosphere and everyone is welcome

Hi drdre25, welcome to EF! The drinks start around 19:00 and from the main station you can take tram 3 (Albisrieden direction) and 14 (Triemli) to Stauffacher. Then it's either a three minutes walk or take tram 2 and 9 for one stop according to the map that is linked on the top of this page.

Alternatively you can simply walk for 10 minutes: From the station down Bahnhofstrasse (the shopping street in front of you) and once to the right into Uraniastrasse (at the first crossing with a traffic light for pedestrians), then simply a bit longer straight ahead and you are there...

Aigle to Zurich for beer? Wow, you must have a thirst. It's quite a long way. Perhaps use the SBB site to give you connection times

Although someone came from Austria once... and stayed...

You did not enter any "guests"... you are not coming alone, are you?
My better half would surely like to see your better half there...

(yes, this is just another bump)

Re: Zurich Midweek Drinks, Talacker Bar

^^Maybe your better half will be quite pleased to see only the interesting half of the other couples other half.

You never know, you know?

Watch out for this sort of thing.

Re: Zurich Midweek Drinks, Talacker Bar

I am slightly confused about which half is which half? But back to the other and better half. Afraid she can not make it... So your better half will have to settle with the non-better half..... I am going to bed!!!!!
