Olé Olé Bar

About

The Olé Olé Bar is a Zurich institution. Located in the “Chreis Cheib” on Langstrasse, it has been a refuge for the thirsty, the lonely and the party-goers since it was founded in 1966. Regulars like Lara Stoll, Yvonne Eisenring and Dominique Feusi tell anecdotes. Friends like Dieter Meier and Thomas Haemmerli provide sketches of their inner lives, Michèle Roten, Thomas Kapielski and Christian Schachinger sing the praises of the bar and intoxication. The centrepiece of the volume is a facsimile of the diaries called the “Barbie Book”. The crew of women who have been running the Olé Olé Bar for ten years logs who was there every night, what was left behind, stolen or damaged, whether there was dancing, flirting or even mating. And how it goes at a hotspot where society gives itself over to intoxication night after night.
