zeughauskeller has grenades


so it would be advised not to smoke there (sorry - its a bit hard to read). my favorite part is that they've chosen to communicate this potential devastating danger on a laminated sheet of paper taped to the wall. (photo: zeughauskeller, paradeplatz - zuerich)

but the BEST part is that when they say "stored here," they actually mean "we like to keep grenades directly under this sign." (you can find this on your left when you come in from the left-side entrance.) nothing says bon appetit better than instilling the fear of live ammunition mistakenly firing after that sign is swept away by an updraft caused by the door on any given windy day...but i guess that's the price you have to pay for turning the old armoury into a restaurant.

anyway, i'm sure they aren't real. just like that cheap replica of a 17th+ century canon they have inside - that thing's totally plastic ;)
