Drinks of The World (Luzern)

A somewhat smaller place within the train station, at the bottom level. Filled with various beers from all around the world, some things in the fridge as well. Prices are higher than in supermarkets and other beer shops (the ones I visited in Switzerland). Nothing to go out of the way for, but damn good to stock up if just passing by.

the fifth Drinks of the World I've visited - basically the same as the others, though the selection is the most limited

Regular bottleshop you'll find in several Swiss train stations. The selection is good for Swiss beers and still quite decent for international beers. The prices are not cheap, but okay for Switzerland. This is nothig special, but always a good place to get a (few) beer(s) for the road.

Chain liquor store on the lower level of the train station in Lucerne. Formidable beer selection.

Of course very similar to the other Drinks of The World branches, but went to get some beers from Luzern and the surrounding area that they don't have in the other branches. Prices decent for Switzerland, selection is good for Swiss beers and some good country ticks.

Visited on a Thursday afternoon, just before taking the train back to Zürich airport, to get a few ticks for on the train. Located inside the train station, just head downstairs as soon as you enter the station. Small liquor store with a great selection of Swiss beers and lots of foreign stuff as well. Funny to see the American beers (e.g. DuClaw) were cheaper than the Swiss craft stuff. Friendly service, decent prices for Swiss standards.

Living in Luzern, I'm a regular client in this store. In terms of selection, I know maybe one other place where you can buy that many different beers, but there the prices are higher and the stuff is not friendly. And whats more, it's not even in Luzern :-) So if you are a beer-lover (or a wine lover!) stranded in Luzern, Drinks of The World is simply the place to go! It's really easy to find.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Located underground in the train station. Pretty large selection. They had quite a few Swiss beers and other European beers. Even some American stuff was available. I was just looking for Zwickels, so I bought the one that I found and left. It was a few Francs, so better than I would have found in a restaurant, but still high.
