Great stop on a quick layover in Zurich. The location is about standard sized for the local area…read more They have an excellent selection of beef from all over the world. Everything from a solid built lager to even meade. The selection will not disappoint. The bar staff is quite friendly and incredibly helpful in weighing your options. For the beer on tap, they are happy to provide a sample to help sway you one way or another. Again, the bar itself is quite small on the inside with a few small tables. There is an outside seating area as well, but it is really not an option during the colder months. Overall, a solid choice to stop for a beverage. Looking forward to my next stop.

IMHO, this is a place Americans need to go to in order to experience a European craft beer vibe…read more It has great 80's(?) music playing in the background. They have 8 beers on tap from a Swedish brewery including 2 IPAs, 2 double IPAs. The Friday I visited, the place was run by two bearded guys. One was the manager who I asked about the beer selection. He explained "if I have not broken bread with you (the brewer), I am not selling your beer. " The vibe was friendly but a bit off kilter and Irreverent. I asked to open a tab and was given a small action figure to track my bill. The beer was not cheap with prices ranging from 9-15 CHF. However it offers a friendly vibe, is dog friendly, and is worth a visit

I did not eat there, so I can only comment on the beer. Sat at the bar and had a few drinks. Decent…read morebeer, and friendly service. I had the Weiss and the lager. The lager left a little to be desired, but Weiss was excellent.

BRAUEREI. You got my attention!…read more We landed in Zurich for an overnight layover, and set out exploring the concrete jungle that evening. We were looking for a place that was vegan/restriction-friendly, and originally decided on the restaurant right by Steinfels. But after looking at the menu, we all agreed this was the better choice for our group of six, in terms of food selection and prices. Holy moly, my fellow American yelpers will also balk at the prices once you take a peek at the menu because meals will definitely be $25-$40 for dinner for one. And that's just for a dish! So the boo and I split a tuna burger, which was so tenderly made and perfectly seared. I loved that the staff put in extra effort to cut our burger in half after we briefly mentioned to the server that we'd be splitting this meal. It's the little things that matter! Portion sizes were the perfect amount of filling--not too much or too small. I eyed my friend's cauliflower starter which was literally an uncut head of cauliflower...which did not look easy or appetizing to eat. Service was very friendly and swift. They were pretty full, but didn't have to wait at all to be seated by the hostess. Our waiter didn't speak English that well, so we got another guy who was great and cracked some jokes with us. We all got beers--the weizen was yum and the perfect amount of zingy flavor and hops for my tastes. Beer is literally the best way to destress, amirite? We also got water upon being seated, which was great to keep us awake and rejuvenated. Their restrooms are very clean, although a bit closer in quarters compared to most restaurants back home. I just didn't feel anything spectacular from Steinfels. We didn't have any other dinner place to compare it to in Zurich because we only had one night here, but referencing it to places back in the States and other cities in Europe, this was nothing much to write home about.

It was our first full day in Switzerland and we'd been exploring Zurich. As dinner time approached,…read morewe looked up a place to eat with craft beer--Grain was recommended, so we walked up the hill (you can take the Funicular)--the walk was worth it--we were rewarded with great food and some great IPA. Try the artichoke--it was the bomb! The service was excellent as well!! The design and restoration of the old building is charming. We sat outside on the patio and had a relaxing evening. What a nice introduction to Switzerland :) Thank you, Dave!

Fantastic establishment run by an attentive staff who know their way around a kitchen and bar…read more Dave and Ainsley blew me away with their exceptional food and drink and even better wit and personable style. Loved this place! The lamb shank was extraordinary and the craft beers were paired perfectly. It's cozy, yet lively, and always an outstanding dining experience. You simply can't go wrong here -- if there's one place to choose for dinner in Zurich, choose Grain. You'll be glad you did!

Great brewery just a few minutes outside of Zürich center…read more The tap room is open on Thursday and Friday from 5pm to 8pm. You can also get a nice brewery tour. Very friendly brewer and nice atmosphere. For CHF 15 you can get 6 tasters of 125 ml and keep the glass which is quite a great deal. Beers are all very well crafted and well balanced (for example a perfect cream ale), they are mainly american inspired and they don't save on hops.

Talk about a lucky find!…read more I was looking for a gift shop for the University and was walking up the road (I had overshot the gift shop) and found Beers 'N More. The staff there are excellent (and speaking good English, fortunately for me). They are very knowledgable about beers (the one chap provided me an absolutely stellar Barleywine). He even helped me get to the gift shop. How cool is that? They are only a couple of blocks from the main university buildings (very well placed for the students, eh?). It's not particularly large, but they carry an excellent supply of many good beers. They have a few non-beer items (glasses, stickers, etc.) but they really focus on the beer part of "beer 'n more". I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! Highly recommended.

I'm a bit of a snob (beer, Scotch, coffee, food, jeans & bikes are the primary candidates)…read more Although, I don't know that much about beer on the whole. I do know enough to find places that can help me find the things that I like. Beers 'n' More is one of those places. I found them via some random online article saying that they carried Boulevard beer from Kansas City (my home town) which didn't turn out to be correct. However, the guy working today (who seemed to be the guy running the place) knew about every product in the store. He knew how it had been ordered, how it arrived in the store and how much of it was in stock and/or available. In any case, he asked me what I was looking for and then proceeded to give me a number of recommendations based on my likes & dislikes. I'm still waiting for my new beer to chill but I really enjoy frequenting businesses that take enough pride in their product or service to know what's going on in same. Surprisingly, it doesn't happen often enough. Oh... did I mention that the guy there today was amazingly friendly and mentioned that they actually chose their location because it came with a parking spot out front for their customers? Well, it's true. If you're into craft beer and are willing to go a little out of your way to get some, come and check out this place. It's a quick couple of stops on the tram up the hill from the main Zurich train station.

I searched Yelp and it brought us to Linde Oberstrass (about a 1 km walk, or two stops on the tram). Warmly welcomed at our table by Nicole who took terrific care of us. She brought English menus and took our orders. Her English was excellent, even including some idioms and expressions. Beer and wine were consumed. These were the house wine and the house beer and they were delicious. I ordered the Walliser-Rösti, a Swiss specialty. It's basically shredded potatoes topped with yummy cheese and sliced tomatoes, then it's roasted and topped with a fried egg. It was amazing. My friend ordered a flatbread that was also marvelous. Served with sausage, green onions and cheese. It had an interesting mustard sauce mixed through that was fabulous. As much as the desserts looked great, we were stuffed and had to decline. Five stars for Linde Oberstrass and especially Nicole. [Review 16310 overall - 4 in Switzerland - 1816 of 2021.]

This is my favorite restaurant in Zurich at the moment…read more I couldn't find a table at most popular restaurants in Zurich for NYE and then Blaue Ente offered a table in the bar. I was hesitated but went ahead as they offered a full menu. When I arrived, they reserved a small table at the corner next to the bookshelf with candle light and lovely decoration. It was so cozy and romantic in that I was glad I didn't get the dinner table in the restaurant. The service was very good. Food was excellent!! Housemade pasta was flavorful and coq au vin made with Quail, not chicken was very good. Rustic bread was also good. I highly recommend Blaue Ente for dinner, drink or just to have snack. I will definitely come back!
