What reviewers say

Visitors praise Petra's Tip Top for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere and its inclusive, local feel, with many feeling at home. However, some guests find the 100% Schlager music to be a significant drawback, especially if they don't speak German or enjoy that genre, and a few have experienced slow or inattentive service when the bar is busy.

About this place Petra’s Tip Top

Petra's Tip Top is one of Zurich's dedicated gay bars, offering a distinctive focus on the drag scene. The venue is hosted by Peter, who performs under the stage name Petra and brings entertainment through drag shows and Schlager music selections. If you're looking for a gay bar experience in Zurich with live performance elements and a drag-oriented atmosphere, this is a notable destination in the city's LGBTQ+ nightlife. Located at 13 Seilergraben in central Zurich, the venue provides a space where you can expect to encounter the interactive, performance-driven energy typical of drag-focused bars. The atmosphere centers around live entertainment rather than being a quiet lounge space, so plan accordingly if you prefer a more relaxed evening or if you're seeking a high-energy night out. Zurich's gay bar scene is relatively compact, making venues like this particularly important to the local LGBTQ+ community and visitors. If drag performances and Schlager music appeal to you, Petra's Tip Top offers a genuinely local gay bar experience. Check ahead for specific show times and any entry requirements, as venues can vary their programming throughout the week.

Very sweet bar but 100% Schlager music. Super kind and warm people but one does feel out of place if you don’t speak German and love local music.

Unfortunately, the song "Major Tom" was skipped without being asked.

I somehow felt at home here, hence the 5 ambience stars. Best Schlager bar in the world! And the service is outstanding, even when it's packed. And the food got 5 stars because it's the only bar where you can order an inexpensive pizza or even a delicious croque-monsieur!

A very cozy, family-run bar 🌈 Small but perfectly formed and very well-rated.
