Full service bar, with a happy hour special from 16:00 - 18:30 that involves free snacks and buy two, get one free beer. Yeah... big deal. The pool tables, balls and ques are in OK condition for a pool bar. The music ranges from good to remixed electro pop. The service is very friendly. The bar itself offers a wide selection of drinks, basic selection of food and of all things: cigars. There is a large screen and beamer for watching sports. Also a few pinball, foosball and video games.

I love the "Old days, never changed a thing" feel to it…read more Don't get fooled by the not so updated interior style (more about that below) they were some of the first ones who were following very strict organic rules. They were really early part of this movement, back early when it wasn't a movement yet and people wanting organic food were considered weird outsiders. They are part of Goût mieux (natural ingredients, seasonal, regional, organic, animal and eco friendly). Due to that, the menu might seem limited but it offers everything you need, be it meat, vegetarian or vegan. I loved the mussles which were a seasonal special, and the crispy chicken (breadcrumbed and fried lil scallops) were delicious, too. Considering this is in the heart of Zurich's old town and they use high quality ingredients the food is very reasonable priced. You can also play billiard or cards, it has a very relaxed and friendly vibe. I also appreciate the noise level. Sometimes when a restaurant is fully booked you end up screaming or hardly talking with each other but not here. I truly believe they haven't changed much during the past 30 years concerning the interiors. In times where it seems traveling becomes slowly obsolete because you find the very same cafes and restaurants in all trendy cities (that so urban, classy yet relaxed oh its so NYC kind of style) this restaurant is a city treasure. Much of this true old style restaurants are disappearing or already have disappeared a long time ago just to give place to new restaurants which try to be nostalgic and from the good old days. This place is a 100% real. The waiting staff was very friendly.

Restaurant Schlauch is the kind of down-to-earth place you (at least I) immediately feel "at home"…read more With more than 70 years of restaurant history, it seems to be one of the most traditional places in Zurich. Named after an early affiliation with the Zurich fire fighters, the German word "Schlauch" translates into hose. The food is very good, with a focus on organically and locally produced ingredients. The menu, and the whole place in general, is more comparable to a "Bierhalle" than to a classy Restaurant. However, the atmosphere (e.g. the kind of local people coming here) is very distinct from Bierhalle - most notably it is much quieter and more cozy. Next to the usual menu card, there are three daily full menus, including soup and salad. Check out their homepage for details. There is also the possibility to play pool, snooker and carambole. Totally recommend, especially when you want to have a relaxed evening with friends!
