Amboss Garage is an event hall in Zürich that an organizer can hire for company events, workshops, presentations, private parties and other gatherings, with room for up to 120 guests standing, 100 in theater seating and 96 at long tables. It is the event space of the Amboss Rampe bar and restaurant at Zollstrasse 80, close to Zürich main station, and the official site says it is open for bookings 365 days a year.
Seminars and company events
The hall is offered for company parties, workshops, presentations and discussion rounds. The venue describes the setting as relaxed and flexible, with a team that supports the event from planning to the day itself. The space is set up with a screen-friendly layout in mind: a projector, hand microphones, headsets and a sound technician can be added to the booking, and the sound system is a Meyer Sound installation that can run in a two-point or a four-point setup.
Guests can reach the venue easily, since it sits a short walk behind Zürich main station. That matters for a half-day workshop or an afternoon presentation where people arrive from different places.
Weddings and receptions
The contact form of the event space lists weddings next to closed-door events, company events and birthdays. The hall is also used for private parties, so a reception with a standing aperitif or a long table dinner is possible within the stated capacities. The layout follows a plug and play principle: the organizer decides how the room is furnished.
Rooms and capacities
The event space is a single hall of 155 square meters. The official figures are 96 seated guests at long tables, 100 in theater seating and 120 standing. The venue itself notes that 150 standing guests becomes tight and recommends staying between 120 and 130 people for a standing event. The interior has an industrial look with second-hand furniture and plants along the walls.
Rental slots are a day slot ending at 5 p.m. and an evening slot from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. Other times can be arranged through an individual offer. Optional extras include a projector, DJ equipment, microphones and extra staff such as a host, bar and service staff and a cook.
Catering
The restaurant is in the same building, so food comes from the house kitchen. Options run from a flying dinner with finger food to a multi-course seated dinner, and the menu can be built with the head chef instead of being taken from the restaurant card. The bar serves the house beer and house spritz. Guests may bring their own sparkling wine and wine if it is not on the drinks list, and a corkage fee applies. Other beer brands are not allowed. An outside caterer is possible, with a fee charged by the venue.
Getting there
The venue is at Zollstrasse 80, 8005 Zürich, behind the main station and no more than ten minutes on foot along the tracks. Office hours for inquiries are Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
