A beer garden under chestnut trees on a 17th-century bastion where the lake meets the Limmat.
About Bauschänzli Biergarten & Grill
The Bauschänzli, the little island where Lake Zurich flows into the Limmat, was built around 1660 as part of the city fortifications and is one of their last remains. From April to September it is a beer garden under big chestnut trees, with views of the Old Town, the lake and the Alps: a lively self-service garden, a riverside restaurant with waiter service in dry weather, and the Schänzli-Grill, open on rainy days too. Daily 11:30–23:00 in season.
