Probably the best Guinness in Zurich

Not just in the village. Ask anyone, we will wait.

The pub

Halfway between Zurich and Zug

A proper pub in a village of five thousand people, which is just right. Meet someone here. Come for a drink, you may stay for more.

Dogs are welcome, and we have outside seating for the warm evenings.

Bookings

The phone is quickest

We take bookings. Ring for a table on a match night, or send an email. Either way, we will save you a space and make sure you get something to drink.
