The gentleman that assisted me was friendly with explaining the beers on tap as I wanted to try a sampler. They offer 3 samples priced at 5.50CHF, which is a very good deal. I decided on the IPA (nice), Red Ale (a little sweet maybe caramel tones), and the Porter (dark, coffee, and caramel scent). There must be a large contingent from Novartis here for after work drinks as I was hearing mostly English and British accents around the room. Appetizers, snacks, sandwiches and more on the menu to quell your hunger along with your beverage. I noticed one of the bartenders slicing fresh salami appetizers right at the bar. A lively room inside and a nice garden patio area with umbrellas. There are newspapers, magazines, free unsecured Wi-Fi (though I could not access), and clean restrooms.
