Food was wonderful. Located in the quaint city of Lucerne. Service was quick. Atmosphere was very nice with a bar as well. Noise level was very low and tons of seating. read more

I thought this place was ok. I should have known i was going to pay a lot for something and feel a little underwhelmed being that it was in the heart of a tourist area. My feet were sore and i had a ton of time to kill while on a tour so i stopped by Mr. Pickwick. The concept is an order at the bar all at once- drinks and food and they'll bring it to you. You have to tell them where you're sitting, very specifically as they have no real way of knowing where you're sitting. Being not a native speaker i did think i was ordering a sandwich so i was a little let down to see i was getting what looked fingers. They were okay. Little bland but well breaded. The food runner was very fun and friendly but i had no real interaction with the other staff. I ate most of the fries and left most of the chicken. I couldn't really get behind them. They weren't awful, but just weren't great. Maybe another menu item would be better? read more

Mr. Pickwick Pub Luzern - Pubs Near Me - Luzern, LU

This place looks good from the outside. Walked in on Wednesday afternoon for a couple of drinks and maybe some snacks. There is no bartender per se. The girl at the bar did not say a word. She took my beer order without saying a word and then placed the beer on the counter, without saying a single thing. It was the most awkward interaction at a bar in my experience. I didn't end up ordering any food and left after finishing my beer. Maybe it was a fluke but it felt uncomfortable to stay there. read more

HORRIBLE HOSPITALITY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE The server named Pedro was the most disrespectful person and sarcastic. He made it clear that he did not like Americans. He stated I know you are from North America. He wishes he lived in USA. read more

Had a great time at this pub during my first visit to Luzern, they had the Euro 2024 football games here and the atmosphere was great mainly when Holland played, it was full and lots of cheerful friendly people, & their signature burger was great! read more

Mr. Pickwick Pub Luzern - Pubs Near Me - Luzern, LU

I wasn't overly impressed with our stop into Mr. Pickwick. I opted for the burger (which is $30 for a burger and fry). Water and soda were $7 so it was quickly quite expensive for mediocre meal. The bar was fairly busy so the central location definitely draws in the customers. If you like a local pub setting, this may be down your alley. read more

I really liked this place. Of course all food in Lucerne is expensive. I loved the music they had playing. My husband had the fish and chips and I had a vegetarian dish. The fries were great. Fun place, nice service. read more

Bad service & overpriced I ordered an iced tea ($8 USD/$7 CHF). When I got back to the table it was sweet tea. I took it back up to the bar and asked if it had sugar, the girl who had given it to me said yes. I asked if they had unsweetened, she said "no." (Not helpful) Another girl came up, and I told her we couldn't use the tea (person drinking it is diabetic), so I asked for water. She says they "only have bottled." I said that's fine. She puts it on the bar and asks for another $8?! I said "we can't use this tea" and she responds with "you ordered it." It was tea out of the bar nozzle. Pretty sure it cost them nothing. My mistake to assume it wouldn't be an even trade, but really?! Absolutely zero customer service. Fish & chips was $31. Good portion but another person at the table said it was definitely from frozen fish. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Laid back, gorgeous views, people watching, great beer, efficient staff, and typical bar food that you can count on to be just that. We had a great afternoon snack and beers here in Luzern after flying in from Newark via Zürich. We were jet lagged and just looking for a quick bite to get our bearings. We snagged a great table by the water. Seating is first come first served. You go inside to the bar area to order, but servers bring your food out. Ample seating, and just a great experience. We had the nachos and a couple of lagers. read more

Great food. Quiet for a casual lunch. Order food at the bar the waitress was super friendly.

Nice bar environment. A but pricey though.... Keep in mind that you need to place your order directly at the bar. read more

Great food and great location here! We tried the various burgers and we were so happy we did, they were all delicious. Great beers available. Go here you'll be happy you did. Perfect view of the wood bridge. read more

Friendly service. On a sunny day, it's nice to sit in an outside table overlooking the water and to also do some people watching as they walk by. The food is tasty. Fish and chips taste just like England, but at those high Swiss prices. read more

Loved this place, great location, variety of beers on tap and food choices. We had the fish and chips and it was awesome and perfect for sharing with a side salad. Vicky was awesome love her bubbly personality and humor! read more

Mr. Pickwick Pub Luzern - Fish and chips and house salad. - Pubs Near Me - Luzern, LU

From the outside this place has a feel of 'dive' bar and 'hostel'. (This is a bar and hotel.) We had arrived in town at a time when most other restaurants were closing lunch service and we were hangry and ready for an adult beverage. Or two. Having been in town on a previous occasion we knew this English Pub was nearby and took a chance the kitchen was open. I am so glad we did! It was warm inside on a cold December day, and quiet with only a few other customers at this odd time for a meal. The bartender assured us the kitchen was open and explained we decide what we want and order with her. The menu includes a variety of apps, salads, club sandwich, fish & chips, burgers and sides. Basic pub fare. We ordered a chicken burger and fish & chips along with a Murphy's red and a Guinness. We got our beers, paid the tab, grabbed some cutlery and a basket of condiments, and returned to our table to enjoy our beverage while watching cricket on the telly. Wandered around a bit and see they have an area in back for darts. Brilliant! Our order was delivered to our table by a woman with a British accent. Talk about authenticity. The chicken is deep fried and crispy coated. We ordered a side of fries to go with. The fish & chips include two varieties of fish, both portions were adequate sized (not too big, not too small) and cooked very crispy. The tempura batter was good and the portion is served with a lemon wedge and dill infused tartar sauce on the side. I splashed on a bit of malt vinegar and salt. The 'chips' were well cooked, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, cut large and a generous portion. Plenty of food to satisfy both our appetites. The interior is decorated with sport memorabilia, wooden signs telling you to order at the bar and Mr. Pickwick items. There are a couple of TV's showing sporting events. The booths are a nice leather in good condition. The tables are heavy, wood topped with decorative iron legs. The bar, in the center of the room, has beer on tap, mixed drinks and coffees. The espresso is good, and I got a pint of Ben & Gerry's ice cream for dessert. This is a super relaxed, friendly, no frills venue. A nice place to chill with a pint. Beer or ice cream. read more

Fish and chips, wings, and pub special burger were so good! Would happily come here again anytime. The service staff was also friendly and quick! The atmosphere is also fun and inviting, good music, TV's with Thanksgiving football was on, an overall good place to hangout and have good food. read more

Great place to get a beer and enjoy the views. Or watch soccer inside. We enjoyed this place.

Four of us ole pharts on tour visited this pub in Sep. '22. What a hoot. The staff was attentive and the selection of brews terrific. Food was good and served quickly. I recommend a visit to Mr Pickwicks Pub. read more

The fries were awesome. And the two women behind the bar were so nice. Service was great and English beer was fresh.

My family and I have been traveling through Switzerland and we needed a break from Swiss food! We tried out This pub and it was just what we needed! It's a casual/fun atmosphere with TVs everywhere to watch sports. We loved the fish and chips, but weren't big fans of the burger! read more

Mr. Pickwick Pub Luzern - Mr. Pickwick's Homemade Fish 'n' Chips - Pubs Near Me - Luzern, LU

Great views, good beer selection, food was hot and well seasoned. Seemed a bit pricey even for the area, but it was easy self service at the bar. read more

Atmosphere is pretty classic pub. You can sit inside or outside. Both are equally nice areas. Outside is right along the Reuss river and is so serene and picturesque. Sometimes we choose inside just to escape the outdoor smoking. We had the Chicken Burger and fries (teen loved it), house made fish and chips (delicious and filling), London cheeseburger (topped with onion rings yum yum), white wine spritzer, beer and apple cider (they have draft and bottled). You order at the bar and they bring the food to your table. Pretty quick food delivery. Food arrived about 20 minutes after ordering during a seemingly busy lunch hour. The bartenders can open a tab for you and you can pay at the end. This is nice so you don't have to pay every time you want another beer. Super friendly and loved the pub environment between shopping. Our Teen loved this place :) read more

We stopped here for lunch with 3 picky children. We loved the sampler platter and fish and chips. Even the kids enjoyed their meals. I highly recommend! read more

On my first time in Switzerland me and some members of my tour group decided to give this Pub a try and it was a really great experience! The bartenders were really friendly to us. In addition, they had drink specials that we had a lot of fun with. I also like this place because it offers space to hang out and delicious food. I liked all the drinks on tap and there was one bartender in particular that was really friendly to us that made our experience all the better. Tall black fellow, I didn't catch his name(sorry) What a great find. Thank you. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 2/5 Decor & Style: 4/5 So this place had outdoor seating right next to the river and it's self service which makes it VERY convenient to relax when you're on Holiday. I could order beer/bar food at my own pace and just bring it out to the my table next to the river with the GORGEOUS view. Food overall was typical good bar food, nothing amazing. Come here to relax! read more

A great place for a beer with friends. They serve your typical pub food - burgers, fries, and other fried foods - and their fries actually come with a delicious ranch dressing on the side that isn't typically found in Switzerland. read more

Mr. Pickwick Pub Luzern - Inside of the pub. - Pubs Near Me - Luzern, LU

WAY over priced. They don't come to your table at all to serve you, your table is not set. The table is not set you have to go get your own silverware and napkins. They aren't very happy to attend you at the counter which is the only way to order. No free water at all. Burgers and servings are small. Might as well go to Burger King across the bridge. We came here cause it had 4 stars and now regret the decision. read more

This place was one of the highest rates in the area. Decided to try it out and would definitely come back for another visit in the future. I had the Mr. Pickwick's Giant Deluxe Burger and it met all my expectations. Great choice to stop by for sure! read more

Mr. Pickwick Pub Luzern - Pubs Near Me - Luzern, LU

Decent place for a drink at night, on the water and friendly staff. Disappointed because we thought the live music would be English oriented but the band played Spanish music all night. They were a good band though. read more

This would have been a 4 or 5 star review anyway, but after my incredible experience, it's a 10. Great location: alongside the channel (steps from the famous Chapel Bridge) in the heart of town, and a stone's throw from the main transit stop. They have well above average food and a great beer selection. They were also very accommodating to my large group when we wanted to watch American football. This a great 'PUB', unlike most of the restaurant/hotel bars in the area. But probably the most incredible thing is that they are extremely honest. I dropped 150CHF ( = to $150 US) in the bar late one night and when I inquired about it the next day... they said they had it!!! A manager had picked it up and put it in the safe. When I ID'd when, where & how much I lost, they returned it to me. AWESOME! Faith in mankind restored! read more

Good pub food including burgers, wings, fish & chip, etc. Food was good and service was excellent as we sat outside enjoying the city of Luzern. Prices are very high but that's typical for Switzerland. About 6 beers on draught, mostly local beers and European macro brews. read more

Although our food was okay and our beers were cold, I quickly realized that this place like many others in Lucerne, was a major tourist trap. Food was mediocre but was quite expensive. Wouldn't come back unless I was dying to overspend on a burger and beer. Typically Americanized burgers, nachos, and friend "junk food." No table service, unless you're sitting outside. Recommended for young kids who don't mind a pub experience over a restaurant's. read more

Don't know about the food, but it seems to be the only bar open (other than pricey, fancy hotel bars) at 11:00 on Monday night. So far, the gin & tonics are good (not sure about price, but fact that locals come here suggests it should be reasonable (relative to other Swiss prices)) [Note: prices turned out to be 56 Swiss francs for 3 Beefeaters gin shots, 1 Blue Sapphire shot, two tonics, and 1 coke zero], . Nice local crowd showed up at 11:00, and the bar staff are entertaining, speak at least 3 different languages, and are quick to serve (glass wasn't empty more than 1 minute before I was asked if I wanted another). Soccer and cricket on tv, dartboards (bring your own real darts to use real boards or pay a franc per person to play with the plastic, electronic dartboard), no smoking inside, but awesome waterfront outdoor area. A great place for a nightcap. read more

To be honest, the city center of Lucerne does not have the best options if you just want to grab a beer or drink. So...I ended up at an Irish pub. Not ideal, but I did enjoy my stay. Their beer selection is good but not great. The staff are friendly, and all speak great English (however, none of them seem to actually be Swiss). The prices are high, but this is Switzerland so it was expected. I did not try the food, and it only looked "okay". read more

Convenience is key here. Great location and you meet people from all over the world! There are also plenty of locals! Beer is a bit overpriced and the food doesn't excite you but go here for a neighborhood feel! read more

Very good, not excellent food. Wonderful view. They have a veggie burger and chicken sandwich. Great for Americans.

Great burgers with some mean service! Our waitress asked me to go inside and get our silver ware and napkins but the table next to our had their waiter brings everything to them!! Seems a bit discriminatory!! Won't return. read more
