Mars Bar runs as the FC Zurich supporters' room off Langstrasse, a Kreis 4 sports bar built around a big HD screen showing the local club and German Bundesliga.

Mars Bar sits at Neufrankengasse 15 in Kreis 4, just off Langstrasse, the home bar for supporters of FC Zurich. The city's own tourism site, zuerich.com, lists it as the place to watch the local club, with games shown live on a big HD screen and German Bundesliga on every Saturday at three.
Who would love it: the football fan who wants a real supporters' room rather than a chain sports pub. Who would skip it: anyone after a quiet cocktail, since the night here turns on the match.
The room
The bar keeps it simple, a Langstrasse-quarter room built around the screen and the crowd rather than the decor. The big HD screen is the centre of gravity, with the seating angled to it for match days. The mood swings with the fixture list, loud on a derby and easy on a quiet midweek night. This is a working supporters' bar, not a polished lounge.
What to order
Stick to what a sports bar does well, a cold Swiss beer on tap and a short spirits range, ordered between goals. Prices sit at Kreis 4 rates rather than old-town markups, which keeps a full ninety minutes affordable. The point is the game and the company, so keep the round simple. Arrive with the home crowd for the full effect.
The crowd and best time to go
The crowd is FC Zurich first, a supporters' base that fills the room on club match days and Bundesliga Saturdays. Opening runs from late afternoon into the early hours, later at the weekend, so the bar is built for the evening kick-off and the drinks after. Midweek without a fixture is the quiet window. Get there before kick-off on a big match to claim a seat near the screen.
The detail worth knowing
The supporters' angle is what sets it apart. Mars Bar is the room FC Zurich fans name when the talk turns to watching the club, the big HD screen and the Saturday Bundesliga slot pulling a regular football crowd to Neufrankengasse. Its listing on the official zuerich.com guide is the read that this is the city's go-to for live football rather than a passing sports pub. The Langstrasse address keeps it in the thick of the district's nightlife.
Who it is for
This is for the football fan, the match-day regular, and anyone working through Zurich sports bars who wants a supporters' room over a quiet pint. Skip it for a date night. For the wider city, see the full Zurich bar guide and our roundup of the best sports bars worldwide.
The verdict
Mars Bar wins on atmosphere and allegiance, a Langstrasse supporters' bar where FC Zurich and the big screen run the night. Get there before kick-off, grab a beer, and join the home crowd. For more of the city's match-day rooms, compare the screens at Sport Bar and the fixtures at Sportsbar 1904.
