Thursday’s ad is from Switzerland, specifically Zurich, and is for possibly a restaurant or beer hall. Because Bayrische Bierhalle Kropf, in German, is Bavarian Beer Hall Kropf. It’s by Herman Rudolf Seifert, though I can’t find any substantive information about him. Featuring prominently in the ad is the hammers logo with the date 1417, which is used on the Hacker-Pschorr logo so perhaps it is a beer hall that serves their beer.

Seems to be still operating today in Zurich.

I think it’s on my list for the day I make it to Zurich. Second photo in the gallery you can see Bierhalle Kroph on the side of the building.

The murals on the interior are magnificent.

This add is for a restaurant in Zurich called Zum Kropf. It is a Bavarian style beerhall. It was purchased by Hackerbrau in the early 1900’s, therefore the logo. I have been there and it is worth a visit.
