Mascotte has always been an innovative site in the Zurich cultural and club landscape. Louis Armstrong played here in the 1950s, and today, the venue brings in headliners like Pete Doherty’s Babyshambles or MGMT. And labels like Cool Monday or Miami Vice turn the club, located at the Bellevue, into a magnet for an urbane, discerning public. In 2012, the Swiss Nightlife Awards crowned it the best club in Switzerland.
