Altes Tramdepot

On a recent trip to Bern, we decided to lunch at Altes Tramdepot, which turned out to be a large open room with long benches and hearty country-style food (which was quite welcome in our case as we were there on a cold day). The Old Tram Depot is also a small brewery - with four house beers on tap the selection isn't particularly wide, but the quality was good. We started with the 'helles' and 'märzen' (pictured below) and later had a round of the seasonal Canadian red ale. All in all we were quite pleased with everything, so if you find yourself thirsty in the capital of Switzerland, I suggest that you head down to the bear pits to visit Altes Tramdepot - on a warmer day, it would be perfect to sit on their terrace and enjoy the view over the river Aare and the historial town centre.
