Stall 6 Bar & Foyer

Stall 6 Bar & Foyer is the bar of Gessnerallee, serving as both a theatre foyer and an event space at Gessnerallee 8 in Zurich. Its role is closely connected to the venue’s artistic programme, giving audiences a place to gather before and after performances and providing a social setting around cultural events.

The atmosphere is shaped by its flexible use. Stall6 can host smaller and larger occasions, including aperitifs, parties, company events, trade fairs and concerts. This makes the space suitable for informal drinks after a show as well as organised gatherings with a cultural or professional focus. The bar is also available for advance bookings, allowing different event formats to take place in the same theatre setting.

Stall6 is primarily a drinks venue rather than a restaurant. The focus is on bar service and the foyer experience, with the drinks menu supporting the wider programme at Gessnerallee. The venue’s role extends beyond hospitality: revenue from the gastronomy helps support the theatre’s artistic work. A visit therefore combines a bar setting with the atmosphere of an active performance venue.

Regular opening is tied to the theatre calendar. The bar operates on event days and for events booked in advance, so opening can vary according to the programme. The setting suits theatre audiences, concertgoers, groups arranging an aperitif and organisers looking for an adaptable space for a reception, party or business occasion.

Stall6 offers a different experience from the nearby Riithalle restaurant, which provides food and a garden setting. Stall6 is centred on drinks, gatherings and the foyer function of Gessnerallee. Its character comes from that connection to live culture and from the way the bar shifts between a pre-show meeting place and a venue for independently organised events.
