I'd love to go there, with my PCE GT, and play me some Necromancer.

Good times, good times.

teh sad thing. there where much more bars during the 90s around the whole world. at least one in zürich, tokyo and one somewhere in america iirc. but they have all closed due to humanity's bad taste.

If you dare to believe wikipedia, bad taste wasn't a factor in their untimely demise.  Their were four bars created: the first two still operate in Swisscheese Land (in Gruyères and Chur); the third was in N.Y. in the Limelight club, which was closed after its notorious criminal troubles, consequently pulling down the Giger bar in its wake; the fourth bar, located in Tokyo, was destined for failure after Giger disowned it when he couldn't have it built the way he wanted.
