Traveler reviews
Richard Loat
★★★★★a year agoJust an absolutely fantastic little jazz bar tucked away in Basel. Fantastic acts are brought through, they usually have two sets, you can make a reservation for the first set and I can't think of a better way to spend an evening in Basel! The staff were super friendly and the service was great. Most importantly it's just a wonderful venue for an intimate night of jazz music.
