Stall 6 at Gessnerallee

Relaxed, spacious nightclub & bar hosting DJs & live bands, from disco to R’n’B, in former stables. Stall 6, the foyer bar of the Gessnerallee, has existed for about 10 years. With the start of the new season, we would like to establish this space, which has so far run quite independently of the theatre programme, as one of the stages of the Gessnerallee. Stall 6 has changed not only programmatically but also visually over the summer. With the restructuring of Stall 6, the theatre’s most public space, the foyer, has become more of a focus for the Gessnerallee’s content – the space where the audience is welcomed.

You want to organise a party, a concert or a reading yourself? Are you looking for a place for your company to hold a Christmas party, a big team event or even a departmental aperitif? There are many possibilities for your personal or business event at Stall 6. Gessnerallee offers a comprehensive infrastructure with stages, projectors, light and sound systems, etc. and is also very centrally located: the main train station is about a 5-minute walk away and the City Parking car park is right next to the entrance. Our team has many years of experience in the gastronomic sector. In cooperation with the look forward to spoiling you with culinary delights. Of course, as a theater house, we are also experienced in organizing events and would like to support you in the implementation of your event.

We rent out the premises of the entire theater if the schedule allows it. We regularly offer Stall 6, the foyer bar, for all kinds of events. We would be happy to make you a personal offer. Details on the technical infrastructure of the various rooms can be found here.
