The HOSI moves
After 13 years at Gabelsbergerstraße 26, the HOSI Salzburg is finally moving to a new, more contemporary location.
Moving stress! The old location in Gabelsberger has to be handed over on 30 November. Now every day – or rather, every hour – counts.
The old HOSI bar recently had the charm of an outdated student pub. Nevertheless, for 13 years, the bar successfully campaigned for equal rights for non-hetero-normative lifestyles.
The new location is at Franz-Josef-Straße 22, in the middle of the Andräviertel. With large windows all around, the HOSI Salzburg can fly the flag for its work at a much more eye-catching location. The interior is mainly sponsored by IKEA.
If the move is successful by 30 November, it will take a few more days until the new location is set up. From 10 December, regular opening hours should be possible again.
The move from the old location, dark and striped by a busy street, to the new address in the busy Andräviertel with lots of public traffic puts the HOSI in the city of Salzburg where it belongs: in the public eye. We are excited!
