Local tip
The pub is a short walk from the main station, making it practical for a stop before or after a train journey.

Kennedy’s Irish Pub is a social neighbourhood pub on Freischützgasse, close to Zurich main station. The venue combines Irish pub character with a relaxed, international atmosphere, making it a place for informal meals, drinks and conversation. It has a particular connection with Zurich’s expatriate community, while also welcoming anyone interested in meeting people in a lively pub setting.

Food centres on homemade pub fare with Irish influences. The menu includes hearty options such as pies and burgers, alongside spicy flavours for guests looking for something with more heat. The kitchen supports the pub’s casual style, with food designed for a straightforward meal rather than a formal dining experience. Beer is an important part of the drinks offering, complementing the substantial food and traditional pub surroundings.

Kennedy’s interior is filled with hundreds of antiques and other artefacts. These objects give the space an eclectic, collected appearance and provide plenty of visual detail beyond the usual pub furnishings. The result is a setting with a strong sense of character, but one that remains focused on sociability rather than ceremony. An international team adds to the venue’s open, conversational feel.

The pub suits visitors looking for an easygoing place to eat, have a beer or spend time with friends. It also works for people who enjoy a social setting where meeting new company is part of the experience. The atmosphere is informal and inclusive, with the familiar format of an Irish pub and enough food choice for a casual lunch or evening meal.

Located in the 8004 district and within easy reach of the main station, Kennedy’s is convenient for a stop before or after a train journey. Its combination of homemade food, beer, Irish pub style and distinctive antique-filled interior gives it a clear identity without requiring a formal occasion. Sports and games also form part of the venue’s offering, adding another reason for groups to spend time there.
