About GLEIS

Gleis, located in Zurich's up-and-coming District 5, is a dynamic LGBTQ-friendly cultural hub that's part café, part bar, and part stage. Nestled along the railway tracks, the venue offers a laid-back vibe with a unique blend of events, from feminist art exhibitions to LGBTQ+ gatherings, yoga sessions, and even DJ sets. The interior is charmingly eclectic, filled with second-hand furniture and quirky decor, creating a cozy, inclusive space that encourages spontaneity. Whether you're popping in for a drink or catching an impromptu performance, Gleis has something for everyone. The venue is not just a nightlife hotspot; it’s also a platform for local creatives. Julia Vögeli and Lou Lipp, the passionate owners, designed Gleis to be a flexible space where anyone can organize events, making it a cornerstone of Zurich’s LGBTQ+ community. The bar’s relaxed outdoor terrace is a prime spot to enjoy Zurich’s summer evenings, offering sunset views along the tracks. With its accessible vibe and ever-changing roster of events, Gleis brings together a diverse crowd of locals and visitors alike, reflecting the inclusive spirit of Zurich’s LGBTQ+ scene.
