@MariV: simply ask at the bar for the EF people - the staff all speak English. The Talacker is a simple venue with a decent terrace to hang out on a warmish September evening and always has a lively crowd.
We haven't had a Midweek drinks night for a while; I hear from many they can't make the 'Viadukt on Thursday' nights for various reasons and I'm feeling sentimental for the nights when 90+ people would roll into the Talacker "just for a quick drink" and end up dancing on the sofas or getting married and having kids.
If you're a first timer, simply walk up and say hello. We'll have you settled in no time. Couples, newbies, misfits, hipsters, the shy, and old faces all welcome. Leave your work / home stresses at the door, get yourself a revitalising beverage and meet some new people.
Easy.  | | The following 7 users would like to thank Uncle Max for this useful post: | |

Although he is a Zurich nightlife legend, his profile is mercifully low now. The 'Diving into a glass of water' routine is well worth seeing though.

My guts turn cold and my head hurts at the mere thought of the debauchery that went on in that place.
I remember when Mark ended up in the pond outside... in the middle of winter.

I bought a tray of Jagermeisters one night, people had some sore heads in the morning. Either that or the dodgy beer! Happy memories.
Even Shorrick appeared from Geneva, that's how legendary these events were.

I think of him every time I narrowly miss doing the same thing myself  | | The following 2 users would like to thank Uncle Max for this useful post: | |

I don't want to appear cliquey, but having just googled " Talacker Bar" > Images it's hilarious to see just how influential EF search engine optimising has been. There's even a pic of a passed out StirB on the first page! It was four years ago..! Go EF!  | | The following 5 users would like to thank Uncle Max for this useful post: | |
