About

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.

Have never eaten or drunk anything at this place, but I already know that I will never do it.I mean we arrive there more than 1 hour before official closing and they tell us that we cannot drink anything as they are closing, the reason being that there are not enough people.So how should I know now if this place is open if go there, because it seems that they will close at random?

Lovely bar with good music, good vibes, friendly and attentive staff. Definitely worth visiting and they also have live acts playing every now and then. I also liked the mix of guests and it seemed very open minded and also LGBTQ friendly. We will come again.

Outdoor seating is rather uncomfortable, which is somewhat befitting because the ambiance will never be good with the deafening screeching of the trains over the switches. Indoor seating is better, but don't expect a fancy cocktail bar: your options are limited. Not a bad drink menu, but set your expectations.
