L'Irlandais

The Jura Mountains


This Irish pub in Fleurier with an awesome terrace out front is the go-to spot on the highway for passing groups of cyclists, hikers and motorists. It's got a great friendly vibe, over 60 world beers, absinthe (of course) and stodgy pub food. If you have too much of any of that, you can spend the night for Sfr50 (including breakfast).
