Oliver Twist
Zurich
At a glance
Oliver Twist is an English-style pub at Rindermarkt 6 in the old town. Its character combines traditional pub culture with a social, informal setting for local regulars, international residents and visitors. The venue presents itself as a meeting place where people gather for drinks, conversation, food and televised sport.
The food follows a pub format, while the drinks selection includes beer on tap and English and Irish options. The atmosphere is shaped by the pub’s long-standing place in the old-town streets, with a style that reflects British pub life rather than a formal restaurant experience. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi and card payment support add practical comfort for longer visits or casual meet-ups.
Sports viewing is part of the venue’s identity, with television screens showing sporting events. That makes the pub suitable for relaxed group gatherings around major matches, as well as for a drink after exploring the city centre. Outdoor seating provides another way to use the venue when conditions allow, while the indoor space remains the main setting for food, beer and social occasions.
Oliver Twist also has a community-oriented side. A regular pub quiz forms part of its events programme, giving the venue a more participatory atmosphere than a standard bar. A club and newsletter offer another connection for repeat visitors, with updates and special offers shared through the pub’s own channels.
The setting suits casual meals, after-work drinks, sports fans, social groups and anyone looking for an English or Irish pub atmosphere in central Zurich. It can work for both short visits and longer evenings, depending on the event and the level of activity in the pub. Gift vouchers are available, and the venue also provides a contact point for enquiries and online ordering.
