01 — History

154 years of
beer, food, loud Zurich

Opened in 1870, the Rheinfelder Bierhalle is one of Zurich's oldest and most distinctive beer halls. Across generations the house has kept its spirit — hardly changed, and that's exactly why it still works. A place that never fully modernised, and stayed timeless because of it.

«More than a restaurant — a living piece of Zurich.»

— Zurich Tages-Anzeiger

Everyone has always ended up here. Craftsmen and bankers, artists and professors, tourists and neighbourhood regulars — drawn by honest homestyle cooking, a cold beer, and good company. Loud, lively, uncomplicated.

The kitchen stands for down-to-earth Swiss fare. Classics like sliced veal in cream sauce, rösti, or Wiener schnitzel are prepared the traditional way — no fuss, no compromise.
