Pride Edition 2025
- Saturday 21st June, 2025 – A DARK Tea Dance held during the evening of Zurich Pride, after the parade, from 10 pm.
- The venue takes over, Fabrik du Plaisir (aka @labor5zuerich).
- Complete with 4 DJs, 3 drag performances including Drag Race Germany winner Pandora Nox,
- And a hot playroom with sexy guys.
The Venue
- Labor 5 – Hidden in the gritty charm of Zurich’s industrial fringe, Fabrik du Plaisir lives inside the shell of a former factory — a cavernous space shaped by shadows, smoke, and strobes.
- It’s not so much a nightclub as a warehouse that decided it wanted a second life as a shrine to electronic sound. Rough concrete, low light, and sharp sound systems — this place isn’t about elegance; it’s about impact. The mood leans underground. You won’t find velvet ropes or glossy surfaces. What you’ll find is a crowd that came to sweat and rooms that feel like they were made to be filled at 3am.
- It keeps the name Labor5 for events and online, but locals know it as Fabrik du Plaisir when night falls hard and late.
- Roughly 5 km (about 3 miles). That’s around 15–20 minutes by taxi.
- By Public Transport From Central or Bellevue, take tram line 4 toward Altstetten. Get off at Toni-Areal. From there it’s about a 5-minute walk west, cutting through slightly desolate but safe side streets. You’ll know you’re close when you hear basslines sneaking out from the concrete.
Daytime Event
- Next Event – Awaiting dates – a day dance by the Lake at Barfussbar.
- Zurich Gay Tea is the place to connect, snack, and flirt in gay Zurich.
- It is the place to dance, to snack, to flirt, to connect (put your mobile down) and still make it home to bed before too late!
- Location: Barfussbar – from 4 pm to 10 pm.
- Dress code: None, just be your most fabulous queer self – crop tops, fans, drag encouraged
Daytime Venue
- Regular Editions take over Barfussbar Zurich, an stunning outdoor venue with a bar and pool club.
- Located directly on the Limmat river at the Frauenbadi.
- The venue is a 9-minute drive from Zurich Old Town.
- Music style: Disco House / Electro. Parties run from 4 pm to 10 pm.
