History
Red John and the night of murder in Solothurn
Nov. 1382 – The first snow of the year was gently falling as Red John of Rumisberg, a simple but clever farmer, happened to overhear a murderous plan: Lying behind the oven of the Inn to Wiedlisbach, Red John witnessed the Earl Rudolf and his fellow Kyburgians forging the scheme to raid Solothurn, kill the inhabitants in their sleep an burn the city down. Caught and nearly killed while still listening, Red John had to swear not to tell a living soul of the evil plan. Courageously after being set free, he put on his wooden sandals the wrong way and marched as fast as he could through the snow towards the doomed city. Reaching the Baseltor he revealded the dreadful news to the stony figure of St. Urs. Hearing this, the watching guard roused Solothurn to defend the city.
Thus, thanks to Red John, our beloved Solothurn was safed. Let’s have some drinks to him.

A great spot - I don't usually like 'Irish' bars abroad, but Red John's is a little gem!
It is welcoming and friendly, without going over the top. The location, right on the river... read more is lovely, particularly during the summer months where it is a great place to relax and have a drink.
If you're looking for a decent spot for a drink amdayne a bot of a chat in Solothurn, you could do a lot worse!
p.s. they also show the likes of the Six Nations Rugby matches with English commentary which is great...

Seemed great from the outside - I never stepped foot inside. It was a nice night so we sat outside. But the server who took care of us was friendly and we never seemed to wait... read more very long. The beer was beer and the whiskey went down easy. I'd come back here.

Fantastic pub with great drinks and staff - With its fantastic location on the banks of the river, this pub manages to please both the seekers of cozyness and those on a night out, depending on the time... read more of your visit. The very diverse and extensive drinks menu gives plenty of options to the thirsty. Recently the two hosts have even gone so far to brew their own beer, great stuff. Speaking of the hosts, staff is always very knowledgable about the beers and whiskies, are super friendly and know how to entertain a crowd.
Only drawbacks are the relatively small size of both the whole pub and especially the restrooms.

A warm welcome - Full of locals enjoying a Thursday night beer, popped in with a couple of colleagues for a beer after dinner.
A typical Irish style bar adorned with football scarves and... read more shirts, the barman was very welcoming.
One word of warning is that this is a cash only bar, no cards.

Locals love it - Ask for Fritz he's our favorite bar keeper here, always smiling, funny and caring. If you're lucky and he happens to like you he might sell you his Fritzes-Spezial 😉... read more
No really locals as well as tourists love this place, give it a go 🙂
