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.

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 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

We stumbled on the Rathaus Brauerei purely by luck, since it was near our hotel. It was a weeknight…read moreand they kindly squeezed us in between reservations. We sat inside for dinner on our first visit, and came back again for lunch outside the next day. The atmosphere at the Rathaus is warm and typically Swiss, and its views of the Luzern waterfront and Kapellbrücke can't be beat. The food is excellent, from lighter fare like sandwiches on pretzels to more traditional dishes like white sausage with mustard. My brother-in-law ordered two different beers, and said they were the best he's ever had in his life. The most lasting memory for us, however, was our absolutely amazing server on our second visit. She was warm, friendly, funny, and spoke excellent English, giving us tips and recommendations for our Luzern stay. We even shared hugs on our final visit. Don't miss the Rathaus Brauerei--it remains a highlight of our wonderful stay in Switzerland!

If you're searching for a spot to grab a brew and a bite, or even a full meal, then Rathaus…read moreBrauerei is your spot! For a full meal make sure you get a reservation a day ahead (at least) but for a quick bite on the outdoor patio it's just walk on up! That's what we did - we found a table and sat down. Our server was a delightful young man who spoke full English and was all smiles the entire time. He knew what we wanted without any trouble and he was always around when we needed him. The menu has a ton of great options, you can't go wrong. And everything we had was tasty! The portions are decent and the prices are nothing crazy. But the beer is cold and hits the spot! Speaking of the spot... the outdoor patio is covered (great for any weather) and they even have blankets you can use if you're cold. The views of the Kapellbrücke are phenomenal and you get to just sit back, relax, and take in the sights of the city. Great people watching! We are big, BIG fans of Rathaus and nearly considered it for a second visit on our trip because the dining room looks like a whole experience in itself! Get a reservation or just walk over, you'll love it!
