The Zeughauskeller (the arsenal) is one of Zurich's biggest beer halls. Situated in a medieval arsenal it serves good solid traditional Swiss fare: generous helpings of meat, sausages, schnitzel and roast. Popular with tourists, locals and lads out for the night, it's a place where it's easy to get to know people, as you share the big tables with other guests. Old military devices standing around are there to remind you where you are. So don't get too drunk, you might end up getting conscripted.

The Rheinfelder is one of the oldest beer halls in town: a place where workers, students, and business men alike go for the big portions, good prices and traditional down-to-earth food - and lots of beer of cvourse.  The waiters have a rough charm , but actually serve the desired dishes quickly; schweinsleberli (pork liver), bratwurst, kidney, rosti or chnopfli (small ball-shaped noodles) if in doubt go for the jumbo-jumbo cordon-bleu that the Rheinfelder is famous for.  But beware the waitress will poke fun at you if you can't take this piece of meat the size of an elephant's ear.
