Did someone say aperitif...? Or simply our definition of “drink better”, because there is always a reason to toast.

Grenzwert

→ min by tram 8/14 to Rheingasse or 16 minutes on foot

Like a phoenix out of ashes: After the fire in Rheingasse in summer 2019, the bar limit in Ochsengasse found a place to stay and when you walk into the exotic garden, you almost think you're in paradise. Whether in this exile or perhaps soon very close to the Rhine, the “Grenzi” is a place with which almost every local has his or her own story.

Reneé

→ 9 minutes by tram 8 to the barracks or 18 minutes on foot

Renée has something of an underground club somewhere in a big city. Maybe because it's in Basel's red light district, but maybe also because of the hot music and trendy decor. Champagne and cocktail fans will get their money's worth.

K-Bar

→ 9 minutes by tram 8 to the barracks or 19 minutes on foot

A place where night owls, individualists, tourists, artists and trendy audiences as well as business people meet and socialize in a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. On the large terrace, you are right in the middle of everything else that the barracks have to offer.

Herz Bar

→ 8 minutes by tram 14 to Claraplatz or 15 minutes on foot

Located in the heart of Kleinbasel between Messe and the Rhine, you will find the small neighborhood bar. Behind the “heart” are Martin Bornemann and Norbu Tsering — hosts with conviction and passion! There you will always find changing cocktail creations. Mint and fig leaves in summer, truffles and pears in autumn, or sloes and chestnuts in winter. They bring the season into your glass and take you on a journey to discover our region.

Cargobar

→ 7 minutes by tram to Johanniterbrücke or 20 minutes on foot

It is the hub for culture and was the first place in Basel where bar and cultural establishment function side by side in one room. A wide variety of levels come together in a confined space: meeting place, entertainment, beverage culture, music as a backdrop or as a concert, video, installations — and that with a direct view of the Rhine.

Werk 8

→ 10 minutes by tram 5 to Tellplatz or 20 minutes on foot

WERK 8 is located in the middle of the up-and-coming Gundeldinger district and is now a restaurant, bar and trendy meeting place at the same time. In the hall of a former machine factory, industrial charm is mixed with a cozy atmosphere. Homemade infusions, syrups and homemade cocktails testify to the creativity of the passionate young bar team, which has already won several awards.
