Edi's Weinstube

Edi's Weinstube is a wine-led bar and erotic art gallery at Stüssihofstatt 14 in Zurich's Old Town. The venue combines a relaxed drinking space with an exhibition setting, giving visitors a place to sample wine while viewing contemporary erotic art.

Wine is available by the glass or bottle, with red, white and rosé styles represented alongside sparkling wine. The bar also serves beer and offers snacks, making it suited to an informal drink rather than a formal dining occasion. Its wine selection is presented as accessible and varied, with the option to taste individual wines before settling on a bottle.

The gallery element is central to the venue's character. Edi's Weinstube serves as a house gallery for the Museum of Porn in Art, presenting erotic and pornographic art within the bar. Exhibitions support contemporary artists whose work sits outside more traditional institutional settings. The combination creates an adult-oriented atmosphere that is more distinctive than a conventional wine bar.

Regular entertainment adds to the social side of the venue. Programming includes karaoke evenings and a pub quiz, with drinks and snacks available during events. The quiz is conducted in Swiss German and allows teams of up to four people, while karaoke gives the bar a participatory, informal feel. These activities make the venue suitable for small groups, casual evenings and visitors interested in a lively bar programme as well as art.

The setting is compact and centred on the bar, with the artwork forming part of the surroundings rather than a separate museum-style experience. Visitors primarily interested in wine can focus on the drinks selection, while those curious about erotic art can spend time with the exhibitions. The venue's subject matter is explicitly adult, so the gallery theme is an important part of deciding whether it suits a particular visit.

Public transport provides convenient access to the Old Town, and the Rathaus landing stage for the Limmat boat is within a short walk. Edi's Weinstube fits visitors looking for a casual wine stop, a low-key evening with friends, or an unusual combination of drinks, entertainment and contemporary erotic art.
