Boyahkasha brings pop, R&B, drag stars and a sociable queer crowd to Plaza Klub, a former cinema in Zurich’s Kreis 4 nightlife district.
Boyahkasha brings drag star attitude, hands-in-the-air pop and late-night flirting to Zurich’s Plaza Klub. Round up your friends, switch between the music floors and get ready for big choruses, fierce performances and a queer crowd that knows how to party.
- Stay close to the city’s bustling gay scene at the citizenM hotel Zurich, rated “Fabulous” by guests with modern spacious rooms, highly rated breakfasts and perfect location.
The Party – Christmas Edition
- Next Edition – Friday, December 25, 2026 – Christmas Edition at Palais Mascotte Club
- Boyahkasha brings drag, pop hooks and club music to Plaza, a regular Zurich home on Badenerstrasse near Langstrasse.
- The main room carries the bigger DJ sets; a separate pop floor gives you a reason to keep moving between rooms.
- International drag guests share the billing with local selectors, giving the night a stage-show streak without making it all about the headliner.
- The party kicks off from midnight and continues late into the night.
- Love house and techno? Try Boyahkasha’s sister party, Hiveahkasha at Hive.
- Most of Zurich’s gay bars are in the old town. It is the best place to stay as you are within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants and right in the heart of the gay pride village, stage and parade route.
The Venue – Palais Mascotte, Zurich
- Palais Mascotte occupies a historic club address at Theaterstrasse 10, beside Bellevue and close to Stadelhofen station. Dating back to 1916, the venue reopened in 2026 with an aperitivo bar and a music programme spanning Italo disco, disco funk and Chicago house.
- Large windows overlooking Bellevue give it a distinctive city-centre setting.
- The evening can begin with Negronis, homemade limoncello, antipasti and pizza to share. The bar opens Wednesday-Friday from 5pm and Saturday from 8pm.
- Club opening times follow the individual event listing; many nights begin at 10pm. Check the advertised party for its music, entry conditions and running times.
- Bellevue trams and nearby Stadelhofen station make this a practical venue to reach from across Zurich.
Before the Party
Start in the Old Town for a proper gay-bar evening, then head to Kreis 4 for the club.
- KWEER – Set in the historic Barfüsser premises at Spitalgasse 14, this queer café-bar serves cocktails, Swiss craft beers and light food. On the party date, Lewis Larke’s live music and singalong starts at 21:00, making it the perfect warm-up party.
- Cranberry – Gay cocktail-bar favourite at Metzgergasse 3. Meet downstairs for drinks or try the upstairs Campari Room, which normally opens on Friday and Saturday evenings from 20:00.
- Have dinner before leaving the Old Town, then travel directly to Plaza.
Where to Stay
Choose Bellevue or the Opera House area for easy access to the club. The Old Town puts you closer to the gay bars, with Palais Mascotte at the southern end of your evening.
- Small Luxury Hotel Ambassador Zurich – Elegant option beside the Opera House, convenient for Palais Mascotte, the lakefront and Stadelhofen station. A good choice for a weekend centred on the club.
- Marktgasse Hotel – Old Town base near the Niederdorf bars. Choose this for an evening starting around Cranberry and Kweer before heading towards Bellevue.
- Storchen Zürich – Luxury riverside address overlooking the Limmat and Old Town. Suits couples looking for a polished hotel with a central setting for restaurants, drinks and sightseeing.
- Sorell Boutique-Hotel St. Peter – A four-star Old Town option with a garden and fitness centre. A useful base for exploring both banks of the Limmat before your night out.
