Saatlen Pub is a straightforward neighbourhood bar-restaurant in Zurich-Schwamendingen, built for drinks, pub food, football on TV, darts and pool.

Expect an indoor, urban setting and a distinctly local pace.

Cooper’s Pub is a straightforward Irish-style bar on Schaffhauserstrasse in Zürich-Oerlikon, geared to drinks, conversation, and casual evenings rather than sightseeing.
