Il cabaret Voltaire è un locale d'intrattenimento con intenzioni artistiche e politiche sperimentali, fondato a Zurigo il 5 febbraio 1916 dal regista teatrale Hugo Ball e da Emmy Hennings. È considerato universalmente la culla del dadaismo, movimento di rottura e rinnovamento delle logiche artistiche tradizionali, fra i cui membri figurarono Marcel Janco, Richard Huelsenbeck, Tristan Tzara e Hans Arp.
Durante la prima guerra mondiale la Svizzera è un paese neutrale; tra molti rifugiati che arrivano a Zurigo sono presenti molti artisti provenienti da tutta Europa. Ball e Hennings si accordano con il proprietario del Meitrei Bar al numero 1 di Spiegelgasse, chiedendo di poter usare la sala sul retro per degli eventi. Dal comunicato stampa che accompagna l'apertura del locale si legge:

Never noticed this place before, but now I've been there I think I'll be back. Nice casual space, not too crowded (Friday night), with a good mix of people. Interesting artwork on the walls, though a lot of it is NSFW. They have a small, but good selection of Absinthe, certainly the best I've found recently. Eclectic mix of reclaimed furniture, which the staff seem happy for customers to rearrange.

Great looking place. Good drinks selection. Not a lot of vice when we went there though (empty really).

Did you know that this is the place the "Dadaism" art style was created? I did not know either first time I visited this place. In this place you will often find a spot for you to sit on a table and enjoy a drink. This is why I am choosing all the time I have some visitors and I was too lazy to reserve a table before. The place is full of young people. They have 7 types of absinthe, for the people who like it.

Good quality cappuccino. Very enjoyable. Art work is trendy and unexplainable angry. Will have to research who the artist was for better appreciation.

Very relaxed atmosphere. Decoration is very cool. However it might offense the pious :D

The birthplace of Dadaism which gives it a cool feel. The drinks are quite standard, nothing out of the ordinary. There's usually different artwork on the walls and overall a cozy place to hang out.

I love that place for nice historic coffe or if you get the chance to see an art event
