The burger was good but a little a lacking in taste. The order of fries was quite generous. The restaurant had cocktails and some non-alcoholic beverages as well. I would recommend this place if you need to get a quick bite.

Food and music and open late…read more We came here on a Saturday night after struggling to find any places open around 10pm. We walked in to find a DJ playing music with the restaurant split into half bar half table seating. There are TV's and projectors on the walls, and some cool lighting features on the ceiling. My girlfriend and I each ordered a beer, then chose to split the Caesar Salad and the "Chef's Special" Spare Ribs. The salad was amazing and I honestly wish we had just ordered two of them. The spare ribs were OK, but not the better of the two options. The pricing was reasonable and our server was friendly. The music was a bit loud, but it was understanable considering it was turning into a night club at the late hours.

Beer: This place gets five stars because it is the only place in town (well at least as I write…read morethis) that carries a wide variety (they have 20 lines available) of independent craft beer on tap that updates it's availability and ever changing offerings to an IT system that is linked to their electronic menu and on-line menu. Service: Let's not forget the people are pretty and the food are pretty decent. Starting with service, you know that can go wrong very easily in Zurich. In here, it is so smooth and uncomplicated because you need to go up and order your drinks and food at the counter. You get a number assigned to you and your party, so that your bill is allocated to that number, which makes ordering pretty easy because every time you reorder you just need to bring the plastic card with your number or just remember it so they can bill it to your number. At the end of your meal when you pay they will just ring up your check based on the number you have. Food: The food is not too shabby here. They have various burgers, from beef, fish, chicken to veggie and all are pretty good on a nicely toasted burger bun. Once I skipped the meal (eating is cheating) and had a nice order of fries. Location/Ambiance: it is very close to the University of Zurich but the prices are higher than average beer bc you are getting craft beer on TAP. So it's not filled with students, it's a mixed crowd. However you will still find one or two groups of students that come here and take advantage of the awesome board games they offer here over a nice glass of craft beer. Covid: During Covid times the tables are not that close together and they do not encourage you to hang around the bar area. Still I felt safe to dine here during Covid times.

I am a massive fan of Alehouse because they have delicious beer and great food!…read more I've only been here twice but plan to come many more times. They have a great list of beers on a screen (it's a digital screen right?) noting the locations and more info about them. Many of the prices are pretty steep, but, I really enjoy the ambiance and the food, and the beer! Last time I came they had an Ethiopian pop-up, or whatever you call it. They were serving Ethiopian food for a limited amount of time. I ordered the veggie platter with different curries and it was really delicious, and so pretty too! I always have a great time here. They also have seating outside.

We were in Zurich for three nights on vacation and we wound up eating at Fork & Bottle two of those…read morenights - it was that good! We happened upon it just by looking up restaurants close to our hotel and it wound up being our favorite place we ate in our whole 10 days in Switzerland! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. When you walk up, there are tables and chairs throughout the walkway and then an entire open area of tables off of the outside bar for a fun hangout. The building appears to be an old house turned restaurant and is so beautiful on the outside and so warm and inviting on the inside. The menu had accommodations for everyone - which is so nice as I am a lactose intolerant pescatarian! I got the beetroot and black bean burger both nights I was there and it was to die for!! I ate the entire thing both nights and just wanted more (it was a big burger though)!! I also had a watermelon spritz which was so refreshing! You can tell the owners/workers get to know their regulars as I saw them stopping by tables and chatting - which was just so fun to see! If you're in Zurich, I highly recommend popping by! My only regret was that I never saved room for the brownie dessert!

The buffalo wings were tasty and quite spicy, so if you don't enjoy a higher spice level... this wouldn't be for you.

After a long day hiking with 22K steps and approx 31 flights of stairs, I was ready for a hearty…read moredinner and cold beer. I arrived when most tables were full and yet was quickly seated within 10 minutes. The servers were all super friendly and as I knew already what I wanted to eat, it was choosing my beer flight from Hüsi brewery that was "hard." I ordered a flight with the Helles, Hefeweizen, Strawberry Cider (sadly they were all tapped out it's so popular, so I went with traditional hard cider) and the Double IPA. I love beer. Especially when it's served super cold on a hot and humid day with exercise. There wasn't a beer (or cider) in this bunch that I did not LOVE. Mind you, if I wasn't so tired and a lightweight, I would have tried more of the offerings on the menu. The Helles was so light, clean and crisp-as it should be. The Hefeweizen had all the right aromas and flavors. The Cider was very good: not too dry, but definitely not sweet. The double IPA was also excellent. I am not a huge fan of IPAs (often taste like the pith of a grapefruit to me due to the Hops), but I do like doubles and triples and this one hit the spot, with a gentle citrusy taste and crisp mouthfeel. While I waited for my ribs, I saw a couple near me got the Schweinhaxe, aka Pork Knuckle. Mind you, this is one of my favorite Bavarian Dishes that I can also get in Rhineland and it never disappoints. The one I saw served (and took a photo of), was the LARGEST I have ever seen. The skin looked perfectly brown and crisped and the meat was fork tender (from my observation). The German man seated between the couple and me, said it was the largest he'd ever seen as well. It looked amazing and the couple offered me a taste, but I politely declined-I knew I had a large meal ahead of me. I joked that it must have been some large pig to have had a knuckle that large. My ribs came and they were piping hot (no complaint). The sauce was excellent, as it was tomato forward and not sweet with a hint of spice. The ribs themselves were PERFECTLY cooked. I know someone else who reviewed said theirs were tough (I ordered them anyway) and they were so tender and moist that they literally fell off the bones. The coleslaw was vinegar based (THANK YOU) and refreshing. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. If you can't tell by now, I loved everything about this meal. It was also clear I was starving because I inhaled the entire plate of ribs and downed the beers in about 20 minutes. Not very European style of eating, but hunger took precedence. The music was fantastic: a lot of 90s grunge and also some U2, a few other cool bands that ahem, you know, was from my youth. The servers hustle and do a thorough job of being both friendly and helpful. One stopped to have a quick chat with a couple and their cute dog. Two came by to see if my meal was okay. I watched them rush around with food, drinks, and also two different servers cleaned a table after a couple left (the one cleared and cleaned while the other cleaned it again even though it was bare)-so there's no hygiene issues here. I was surprised to see the place cleared out by around 19:15-I expected it to be slammed all night. It was a Monday though and I'm sure the late night crowd was still napping. I would have loved to sit and drink another one of the amazing beer offerings, but as I said, I was beyond tired and worried someone would have to roll me back to my hotel, an 11-minute walk away. Lastly, the prices are unreal for this area. My meal, beer flight and 10% tip (come on, people, 5-10% is welcome in Switzerland-don't forget to show your appreciation), came to 51CHF. That's a bargain. I would absolutely come back here in heartbeat. It's truly a gem. Now to see if they sell their beers in the COOP or Migros so I can take them home...

The pork knuckle MADE this meal worth it! The pork skin…read morewas crunchy and yummy, paired with mashed potato's, red cabbage sauerkraut, and gravy... you could tell that it was with great technique! Not to dry and my parents loved it -- they are the kind who are pretty picky when it comes to any sort of American/german/etc food. The pork ribs were yummy with a tangy bbq sauce on it but a bit dry. The fries/chips were so yummy though! The bratwurst was not that great and $22. It came with a weird potatoes square salad and the same red cabbage sauerkraut. Overall, it was a meal well spent. $122 for 4 people which is so worth. Odd thing is they did have a "restaurant" tax of $8 which I have never seen at other Swiss restaurants. Service was good. Ambience felt like a sports bar, and the wait before 5pm was not bad at all Would recommend if yall like meat and potatoes!

The menu has pictures of how you want it, and I orginally ordered as "English" which was a step below "medium" as to the inside. When it came, it looked amazing, but when I cut into the end, it became clear that the steak was raw, with a barely warm external sear. Inside was raw, as in cold with the iron taste you get with raw meat. I asked them to redo the steak, and off it went and came back with a slightly higher temp on the outside, but exactly the same on the inside. As in no change. Game over. I cut the steak into 4 pieces, and laid them on my plate so that when the wait staff would come back, they would see exactly how raw things were. The waitress came, looked that I had not eaten the steak, and gave me a weird look when I said "I was finished". Off my dinner went, and as far as I was concerned, it was going to be consumed by the little dogs that roamed about as you eat. Imagine my surprise when the steak came back AGAIN, as if to try it one more time. Nope. Game over. Imagine my surprise when they took it away finally (to the dogs or garbage), and with a shrug, still made me pay for the $34EU for the nasty steak. Not even a discussion about taking it off our bill. I can't recommend the place. We were there when they opened, around 5pm, on a Tuesday, with no one else in the restaurant when we ordered.
