We’re thrilled to announce the next chapter for our iconic Hanover Street venue. Formerly Albert's Schenke, the space is being reimagined and relaunched as Schiller’s Hall — a bold new concept from the Mission Mars.

Schiller’s Hall blends Alpine warmth with European soul and a generous spirit, all under one roof. Born in the mountains and raised in the city, it’s a place to explore, gather, celebrate and lose track of time. Expect vibrant energy, heartfelt hospitality and a setting designed to bring people together from day to night.

As part of Mission Mars, the group behind Albert’s Schloss, Rudy’s Pizza and Albert Hall, Schiller’s Hall continues our commitment to creating unforgettable experiences rooted in quality, culture and community.
