Here you're off the beaten track and on the territory of the non-commercial gay scene.
The Heldenbar (hero's bar) which only comes alive on Wednesdays is a purely non-profit affair. Sometimes the DJs are professional, sometimes totally amateur, the style of music changes from week to week. If you don't want to dance, step outside with your beer for a chat on the banks of the river Limmat just behind the venue. Or take up a table-football challenge.

Fantastic place for a drink specially on Wednesdays. A great alternative to Cranberry or Les Garçon. The outside area by the river is the best feature of this bar.
