    Great pub with tasty, abundant food, good beers, and a welcoming vibe. On a Sunday evening, it was packed, and for good reason. It has a great, welcoming pub atmosphere. I think a pub quizz was wrapping up when we arrived. We were lucky to find a spot and grab dinner. When not raining, there are many seats outdoors. Inside is big but not huge. Food was delicious, generous sizes, and fairly priced. I particularly loved the chips. Both fish and chips and the burger were great. Service was friendly and quick. Overall, a fantastic option for a pint and a bite, alone or with friends, on Sunday or any other day!

    Nice Irish pub, which also has an external terrace. Good beer selection and typical menu. TV scattered around for watching sports. Of course English is the language of choice.

    Nice Pub, good atmosphere. Food portions are a little small. However what makes this 3 stars, is the fact that they serve drinks in 500ml glasses, while the menu states that you get a pint. A pint is 568ml. So in the end you get 12% less than stated on the menu. So either correct the menu or get proper glasses.

    Classic Irish pub. The staff was kind and welcoming, however the service was a tad slow. Got fish and chips, which was enjoyable but nothing memorable.

    O’Callaghan’s Shamrock Irish Pub, nestled at the end of a tram line in Zurich, is a hidden gem that exudes charm and authenticity. The moment you step in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel like a local. The pub’s traditional decor, coupled with its friendly staff, creates a sense of comfort and familiarity that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a long day, with a pint of your favorite brew in hand. Whether you’re a Zurich native or a visitor, O’Callaghan’s offers a genuine taste of Irish hospitality right in the heart of Switzerland. A must-visit for anyone seeking a cozy, local bar experience.

    Nice little niche of Ireland in Willishofen. Run by expats, you get most of the plus - generous portions, good burgers, nostalgia beers - and none of the disadvantages: this place is spotless clean!

    I had the honor to be seated between Frank Jackson, the owner, and Maria Bober, an Italian friend, to watch the Ireland-Italy game of football. Just amazing!! Also had a wonderful evening listening to music with such great vibe. Thanks for everything💚☘️

    This place is a great place to meet friends, albeit a bit out of the way. The staff are fantastic. And what they have done to ensure that everyone is safe outside, within the rules of the Covid restrictions, can only be commended. The 4 stars is only because the menu is limited. But, I am sure that this will be resolved in the coming weeks as outdoor hospitality becomes the norm. Keep up the good work guys!

    Took almost half an hour to make, worst presentation I’ve seen in my life. Bread is soggy. Ps. It was supposed to be a club sandwich.

    Wonderful people and delicious food. The best place to enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner. Nigel and his team are all lovely people. The quiz night is always a great time. Our regular pub 🍻

    Really nice traditional pub, and the owner/manager is extremely kind and helpful. I highly recommend the burgers, and the chips are made fresh from local potatoes.

    Great local pub! Good food and pretty good Guinness! Friendly staff too.

  • 1/5 Stefano T. 2 years ago on Google
    A wet and cold Sunday night. The post outside the pub reads “Dinner served until 22:00” We glance at our watch: it’s 21:20, plenty of time. We walk in, and ask the waitress to sit us somewhere for dinner. “I’m sorry, the kitchen is closed” “But outside it says, dinner until 22” “I know, but it was so quiet, the cook decided to close” WHAT!!?? You mean that you are sending us away? For real?? How unprofessional can you get? I had already been to this pub, and I quite liked it. Now, for sure I’ll never set foot in it again.

    Great food. Super fun Sunday evening quiz! I had an amazing hallumi wrap

  • 3/5 Martin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wide selection of good beer from different countries, tasty food, friendly staff. Edit: after few visits realized sometimes you have to beg to be served even if the pub is half empty. Once they even forgot completely that we ordered something so we were just sitting waiting for nothing. Changing rating from 5 to 3.

    Good looks a lot better than pictures and the beer is fantastic. Bar staff are amazing and this place is probably my new favourite place in Zürich!

👍👍 One of my top five places I visited in Zurich. I'm not a fan and I do not prefer vegan food, but here it is amazing. The location and ambiance are pleasant and relaxing. The staff is friendly. It may seem a bit expensive to those of us who do not live in Switzerland, but I think the standard the...
