    No music - too clean - very far from any kind of Irish pub - it's more like a tea room (and the owner has probably never been in an actual Irish pub)

    Stopped by on the drive back home, just by chance. Ended up having an amazing meal, served surprisingly fast by a welcoming and pleasant waiter. Some of the best burgers we've had, and all for extremely reasonable prices. 10/10 will visit again.

    The food was okay and the beer arrived quickly (and was at a good price). Our main problem was the time it took the food to arrive. Took about 40 minutes since the arrival of our drinks for our burgers to arrive, despite the place not being very crowded. The burgers were clearly overcooked and we were missing some essential utensils and items. The waiter did an alright job but the situation in the kitchen and preparation of the meal was horrendous.

    The real English/Irish pub experience in the mountains. What a lovely surprise! The selection of beers is wide and one of the best in this area. There is enough food choices to satisfy all tastes and appetite. I highly recommend the fish and chips, looks and taste great. Under 18 are admitted before 8pm. The staff is very friendly and competent. I can highly recommend.

    We were only in town for 2 nights but this was our favorite place, they were the best bartenders ever! It was cozy and charming. Carina and Theresa were absolute angels, the best service we’ve gotten in 7 countries! We’d come back to Switzerland just to visit them.

    Irish Theme Pubs are the last place I would think of going when outside of Ireland. But Core is much more than that. The welcome was sincere, and the food was the best I'd had all week.

    Fabulous a touch of Irish London charm

    Great service and better food! They speak not only German but fluent English. Hamburgers are a great thing and the portion is more than big enough. Fully recommended. They also have a good selection of beer.

    Great place, decent food! The draught beer menu could be longer.

  • 4/5 Johnny R. 9 months ago on Google
    Place has good food, but it is definitely spendy here for basic food. No bangers and mash either.

    It was very affordable and had a nice atmosphere. A smoke room was available and staff was very friendly.

    The Pub was very nice. The staff was very polite and nice. I got the Burger wich was fantastic, it had a little to much onions. But overall one of my favorite restaurants.

    I ate at the Irish pub last night. We went there as a group because they had a great variety of beers and the menu looked quite good. I ordered the cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The menu said that it was 200 g of Swiss beef. I think it’s normal that one would expect that it be a fresh beef patty, cooked on the grill to order, and served hot and juicy. What I got was something that was clearly a factory processed, pre-cooked and warmed up, almost inedible and dry piece of something resembling beef. The only reason that I ate it was that by the time it arrived I was very hungry. I wouldn’t be surprised if it contained some sort of soy filler as well. Even McDonald’s has better beef than this. On top of that I paid €26! I talked to one of the staff members afterwards and explained my concerns and she said that it was true that it wasn’t made there on site. When I pressed her to find out if it was processed beef she just simply said that it was not made there and insisted that it was “Swiss beef“. She also said that they were having a hard time hiring a chef. My view is that if a restaurant can’t hire a chef then they shouldn’t be operating a restaurant business. What do you think? Unless you’re just there for the beer or alcoholic drinks, or you prefer to take your chances with something besides a hamburger, I would definitely avoid this place.
