Brewery restaurant with its own brewhouse under the town hall arcades, on the banks of the Reuss, with Swiss cooking and sausages from Lucerne butchers. Open every day.

Beer made under the town hall
The Rathaus Brauerei occupies the arcade floor of Lucerne's town hall, on the right bank of the Reuss, a step from Chapel Bridge. It was opened in 1998 by the brewing engineer Eckhard Schwöbel, under the watchful eye of the heritage authorities. All the beer is brewed here, in the copper kettles you can see from the tables; the wort then travels through a 70 m underground pipe beneath the old town to the fermentation cellar on the Eisengasse. Today it is run by Gambrinus Gastronomie AG, from the founder's family.
It is the easiest place to eat well in Lucerne without booking days ahead: it opens every day, Sundays too, and has tables under the arcades and right on the riverbank.
What to eat
Swiss brewery cooking, with Swiss meat only and cold cuts from Lucerne butchers. Some prices from the menu:

Rathaus Bier Würstli, sausages made with their beer, with potato salad: CHF 24.

Älpler Magronä, the herdsmen's macaroni with fried onion and apple sauce: CHF 29.50.
Fillets of trout from Lake Lucerne, Lucerne style: CHF 39.
Half a grilled chicken, the Rathaus Güggeli: CHF 29.
To nibble with your beer, filled pretzels from CHF 13.90 and the Graubünden barley soup, CHF 14.90.
