Zurich clubs

An old footie mate has just got a job running FIFA's websites, which means he's moved to the home of the Gnomes. Anyone know any decent clubs?

it's a while since I've been there but Palais X-Tra is still supposed to be pretty good. I've had 'Cool Monday' - which is, unsurprisingly, on Mondays - recommended heavily, a friend played there recently and rated it highly...

Palais X-Tra is a good club, played there myself a couple of times. They have three dance rooms, main one holds about 1000 people, also a bar/restaurant & even rooms to rent for crashing out after the nights finished! The Cool Monday night is a mixture of funk, jazz, latin & new beatz. They normally get about 500 - 700 people in on average, which on a Monday night is amazing....

hey ladyboy,
palais x-tra is o.k. on mondays but the average age is around 18-21.
some places/clubs of interest are:
-rote fabrik (right by the lake,alternative spot with loads of concerts/dj's, david rodigan at the 18 december)
-moods (always cool on fridays after midnight for solid funk)
-dachterasse (loads of electrostuff but worth for the chickas&#33
-langstrasse (it's the redlightdistrict but there are some very cool places/bars to hang out. just walk along with the trendy people)
-ug club (always good dj sets)

you can also check the forecast magazine. this mag has a little agenda of the concerts and clubs. buy also the neue zürcher zeitung on thursdays. they including a weekly agenda of all the cultural/music stuff then.

cheers
ps:try also www.hugo.ch, thats a internetside about swissclubs.

Mono Records is also a good shop, Spruz Li & Pipo have a good selection of old and new releases. (you can even skin up and chill in the corner by the decks, along with a cup of tea/coffee)  

[sermad]

yes it was an incredible shop. I spent 2 days in zurich but had so much real work I only had about 2 hours to look around.

Certainly want to to back. Beautiful town.
