Nightlife
1 Gotthard 1900 Untertor 34, opposite station 
www.gotthard1900.ch Switzerland's first-ever 24-hour bar, a young, friendly joint that's a peaceful café during the day; at night it attracts a few lowlifes but avoids the sleaze of its Bahnhofplatz neighbours.
2 Kraftfeld Lagerplatz 18, off Tössfeldstrasse in Sulzer-Areal industrial quarter www.kraftfeld.ch Alternative artists' community which lays on excellent DJ nights featuring experimental drum'n'bass, plus bands, films and happenings. Wandering around the nearby streets will turn up similar post-industrial venues.
3 PaddyO'Brien's Merkurstrasse 25 www.paddyobriens.ch Quality Irish pub five minutes north of the station to warm your jaded cockles, with 12 beers on tap, TV football and enough of a reputation to pull in The Dubliners for a gig now and again. Opening time: Daily 3pm–2am
