The bar is conveniently located near Zurich University and easily accessible from Central, making it a go-to destination for locals and visitors looking to experience Zurich’s vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife scene.
The beer was good, and it was reasonably priced. Not that many varieties though but this was expected.Service was slow, but no fault of the servers, place was packed by time I showed up at 10pm.Atmosphere was good, unique for a gay bar, very cozy (if u want a seat u better come during the day, those are very few compared to the robust number of customers).Would surely go back, maybe earlier than 10pm on a Friday night.
First time in this place, thank you for my friend. It was like going home. Bartenders were so nice, and the atmosphere was incredible. It is not a big place but only what needs other clients and be welcome.
Wonderful place to have an after-work drink, the atmosphere is cosy and the people nice and joyful. The bar is super small and full of love. I recommend warmly
Amazing service, really friendly staff. Fun music and handsome men. Overall the place to go for some drinks at the end of the night if you are not looking for a wild clubbing scene.
Assuming that visiting the bar early (approx. 2100 ) would enable me to meet some people, I was tragically disappointed. The older bartender took my order but never attempted to engage me in conversation nor introduced me to the six other patrons .He focused exclusively on his friends/regulars.
1. Pros: laid back scene, frequented by locals, good mix of people (young, old)2. Cons: music is mainly pop/schlager, some tourists don't seem to like that but I think the music is great to hear a bit of german pop!3. Interesting Fact: Petra is one of the most famous drag queen performers in Zurich!4. Specific Recommendation: best day to try this place is any single day of the week!
