The Rank Closes Its Doors – with Deep Gratitude

-

For five years, Rank has been a place where we could share live music, local cuisine, and meaningful encounters. What began as an ambitious project gifted us countless magical moments – and for this, we are profoundly grateful.

-

Despite all these beautiful experiences, we are now compelled to close our doors. The economic conditions no longer allow us to sustain Rank in the long term.

-

But we wish to focus on what remains:

-

  • Over 50 dedicated people poured their hearts into culture and culinary arts during our five years.

  • More than 30,000 guests joined us to enjoy Swiss wines, Zurich cuisine, and music.

  • We brought over 400 concerts to the Niederdorf.

  • Nearly half a million francs flowed into Zurich’s cultural landscape.

  • More than one million francs supported local, regenerative agriculture.

-

We had hoped that Rank could continue much longer. What prevails now is gratitude: for the people, the encounters, the music, the culinary experiences – for everything that made Rank a magical place.

-

Thank you to everyone who was part of this journey. May the spirit of Rank continue to live on in the Niederdorf and beyond.

-

Until August 31, 2025, you can still join us for the final events – we look forward to welcoming you once more at Rank.

Rank is Food. Rank is Music. Rank is Zurich.

Once the very first strip club in Switzerland, today a restaurant, jazz club, and cultural venue.

Restaurant & Bar

Our kitchen is based on local and regional ingredients that follow the seasons, and sustainability is not just a buzzword for us, but a philosophy.

In your glass, you’ll find homemade drinks, with and without alcohol, as well as wine from independent winemakers in Switzerland.

Concerts

From Thursday to Saturday, the music is live am Rank. We present the most exciting local artists on our stage – a new group every week.

Concerts can of course also be enjoyed without dinner reservation.

“I find great inspiration in the distinctive essence of each musician and the captivating atmosphere they cultivate. This ethereal influence fuels my creativity and allows me to channel its energy into my drawings and dance moves.”
