Amber Bar in Basel

Great but a bit cheap bar in Basel 🥂🍾🍸

Great place to hang out in Baselcity

Had something to drink in the evening and had a pleasant evening. Very nice bar with rooftop

Beautiful decor, great views, super friendly service and super delicious drinks. Thank you for the lovely evening ❤️🧡💛

Great ambience in this bar. There is a roof terrace with a view of Basel.

E good Örtli to the Verwylle with friends and Co. E great view of the city Fründlich's staff

Roof terrace not a problem with a wheelchair, but it is very nice

Very nice view on the terasse, but it's fairly expensive at 10 bucks for an IPA.

A mega view in the old Basel barracks!

Was on the roof terrace.....great view of Basel and Babbe Rhy

Love the decor, the atmosphere and the rooftop terrace. Drinks were a bit pricy, but well mixed.

Very nice service, nice view, clean toilets. One thing I don't understand why people come who don't order anything and just sit at a table, people come who want a drink and have no place to sit because of people like that. How do you go to a bar just to sit at a table and talk, better go home. Otherwise everything is fine, I highly recommend it, we will definitely come back

Service was terrible last Thursday. Came from ZH and wouldn't go to this bar again

Great interior design and wonderful views over Basel!

Great view of the Rhine. Nice decoration, relaxing atmosphere with the sunset in the background. Very pleasant.

Magnificent view. Drinks were OK.

Disrespectful... the sound makes the music... The terrace was full, many had to stand, but three places were still reserved for the staff. You might want to consider who the customer is...

The alleged boss should take lessons in politeness... disrespectful and unprofessional.

Really cool bar! Cocktails are really great and the staff is very friendly and accommodating :)

On Saturday evening we wanted to have a drink on the roof terrace. It was very busy and all the tables were occupied except for two seats at the bar (right side). When we wanted to sit down there, the employee at the bar said we weren't allowed to sit there. This place is reserved for employees to take a break. We told him that when the employees come to take a break, we would get up and give up the space, which I actually don't think is right. I'm a customer and pay, so the employees on the other side should take a break or go downstairs - there's enough space. The gentleman at the bar told us to sit at a table where no one was available. I have never experienced such service. I don't recommend this bar.

Great vibe and location to have a drink in Basel

Great place for a sundowner drink at the rooftop bar!

Trendy bar with great views of the city. The rooftop patio is so great. Inside bar atmosphere is amazing. Really nice decor. Recommend the Hugo and the margarita. Servers were really friendly and willing to customize your drink. Fun crowd of all types and ages. Patio had plenty of space.

Chic jungle inspired decor inside and a nice rooftop outside overlooking Basel and the Rhein. Friendly bartenders Kourosh and Jay will help you find a wine that's not too sweet. Kourosh's own mezcal margarita is 10/10

Great place for a drink in a lovely setting. It does get busy and finding a table can be tricky.

They make a really good cocktail here - they care and the craft and they know their stuff - and nice that they added to the rooftop bar collection in Basel with a roof terrace that has perfectly stunning views - a pleasure at sunset and nice nest to while in -

Very nice bar with even nicer view (roof)

Nice view and furnishings. Unfortunately the bar service was very slow. After the second drink we moved on. Waiting in line for 10 minutes for a 9.00 beer...probably not. The rooftop bar was closed even though the terrace was full.

Great view, great drinks, good service

Great bar on the roof terrace of the tower. When the weather is nice it will be difficult to find a place. But it's worth the wait, a beautiful view of the Rhine side of the old town.

It's very small and cute. You need quite some luck or get there early enough to secure a spot for yourself. The view from up there is magnificent. The staffs are very nice. However, only the roof terrace is open to which I couldn't get coffee or snacks at all. (And there is no elevator to the roof terrace available).

The rooftop is open only in summer!

Nice roof terrace, unfortunately always very crowded, the view is ok

Great: the interior and the tower view are a real added value for Basel. Cocktails and drinks at a very good level - the whole thing is still young. Absolutely a hit for rain-free evenings...

Nice place, Nice view. A global view on the Rhein River. It's à little bit expensive (12chf for a 25cl of coca).

Chic atmosphere and beautiful views. Unfortunately, the cocktails were rather disappointing in terms of taste and not particularly well presented. My glass was also sticky. CHF 18.50 for a cocktail, I expected more.

Undoubtedly great atmosphere for drinks including a view. The service, on the other hand, is absolutely catastrophic. After the homepage expressly pointed out that reservations for the terrace were not possible, we (group of 6 people) were evicted. We were told in an arrogant and unfriendly tone that we should leave despite our drinks being full because the table was reserved. When we pointed out that reservations weren't being accepted, they responded snidely: "No rule without exception"! Super unsympathetic and an absolute no go! In addition, you have to wait forever at the bar until you are served, only to be told in a very unfriendly manner “Card payments only from CHF 10.-, no exceptions”. You really don't need it. A pity. A great place, but the poor service means you can easily miss out on the experience!

Cool bar close to the river. The rooftop deck has beautiful views of the river. And the drinks are good.

Great spot with a great view of or over Basel. Unfortunately, service is very, very slow…

Cool, relatively new bar with a fantastic view.

Great view. Somewhat expensive prices. Clean toilet. Bad, not fresh orange juice, M-Budget direct juice would have been better.

The star is for the view. very unfriendly staff and opened 15 minutes late despite a reservation. Out of 9 drinks, 4 are undrinkable. not recommended.

If there is space, good views 😀

Beautiful cocktail menu, cozy atmosphere, superb sunset on the rooftop.

Very nice interior design. Delicious cocktails.

Steep climb. Great experience. Let your gaze wander over Badel from the roof terrace. Enjoy the great atmosphere at the bar. Enjoy the friendly service. A must for Basel residents.

good cocktails ! and very nice rooftop

Very rude in general. One of the waiters seems like its doing a favour to me when I ask about anything in the menu.

Very busy and crowded on weekends, I go there for the rooftop and the nice view

our little sister in the tower of Kaserne. Good drinks with a view. 🤍

Lovely view, bartender super nice

Bar staff are friendly and flexible!

Very unique cocktails, very beautiful decoration and an amazing terrace with one of the best views of the city.

I was there for the first time on Saturday and I was very excited, the atmosphere was great and peaceful. I felt very comfortable and safe the whole evening. Thank you for the great evening.

Great cocktails, great barman, great decor, stunning views, great location.. altogether a great experience

Great building, amazing view. Large menu, small beer selection. Friendly person behind the bar.

I was there 28.12.2022 for a drink, nice view. For sure I would visit the bar in Summer too 😊 an enjoy the sun and the amazing vibes.

Very nice bar with perfect terrace. Good drinks. Nice atmosphere.

Nice bar staff Great location Good drinks menu

Absolutely amazing ambiance and super nice staff. The cocktails are really good and the view is mind-blowing, you can see big and small Basel from here. Definitely recommend

Very cool, great view from the roof top and nice atmosphere inside. I definitely recommend!

Too much crowded. Bad quality cocktails. Don't wast your time waiting to have a table....

Great location! However, after 30 minutes at the bar on Saturday afternoon we still weren't served, we left again - a shame

Wonderful bar with roof terrace and beautiful views

Great location in an old barracks. View over Basel from the roof terrace. Good card

Very stylishly furnished, fair prices. Unfortunately, the music was too loud (difficult to have a conversation). The bartender immediately turned it down a bit when asked. Courteous service. :)

Nice location, extremely unfriendly service.

Nice ambiance. Well made cocktails. Good music. Rooftop terrace with a nice view overlooking the Rhine.

Cool bar with nice design! A bit dark inside

Really nice bar. Swiss prices. Rooftop bar unfortunately without service (were there on Sunday evenings). Music boxes would still be cool on the roof.

Cute place and nice views over the river! Quite busy during summer evenings

Very nice interior, nice view from the rooftop and the people working there are awesome.

Unfortunately no longer an insider tip. The view from the Kleinbasel side is beautiful.

A really nice bar in the left tower of the Basel barracks. The view from the tower terrace is sensational. Unfortunately there was/was no service upstairs and you had to get your drinks yourself and carry them upstairs. Otherwise great!

Nice and exclusive bar with terrace having a gorgeous and unique view on the Rhein and Klein Basel roofs: not to be missed!

Beautiful decor, breathtaking view and extraordinarily friendly service.

Rooftop at the top!! Great location above the Rhine to enjoy the sunset. Simple decor on the outside but very original on the inside. Frequented mainly by locals. You have to find it but it’s well deserved 🤩🔥👍

Aperol Spritz Tastes like liver sausage. Cheap brand. Tips you make yourself.

Today, Saturday, August 20th, 2022, around 9 p.m. I spontaneously visited the bar. My highlights; - the design, the range of drinks and of course the view. What didn't convince me, however, was the sharp answers from the employees (bouncers or the service) but also the unprofessionalism behind the bar. What was also noticeable was that the glasses were collected on the terrace with a Migros basket. Not possible (my opinion) I think that the bar, as it appears, deserves a clean appearance. You have to appear more serious and professional. The location and the design as a whole can only cover this to a certain percentage. I can highly recommend the bar if the criticism improves. I will definitely come by again. Greetings Fabian

Great exclusive rooftop bar with amazing view of Basel. Recommend to make a reservation because it can be really busy on days with nice weather. Service a bit slow when it's busy and the entrance is a bit hard to find

Great bar but very slow staff. 15 minutes for a beer!!!

Fantastic view of the city, nice breeze (if you don’t mind the wind), diverse selection of drinks. 5 stars if you are lucky to find s table fast, but stars start dissappearing if the wait goes beyong half-hour (which is not uncommon as no reservations are taken). Service is spotty, and probably weakest part of the experience.

Uncomplicated and nice staff. The furnishings are surprising, but probably have no connection to the historic barracks. We liked it and the local amber beer was tasty. Maybe you could go even further with a few creative “bar snacks”.

Great location with delicious drinks at normal prices. Unfortunately only a very unstructured and unprofessional-looking waiter who was visibly overwhelmed with a full terrace on Friday evening.

Location is nice. At the moment you have to queue for a table, but that will definitely happen. It's no surprise given the location. Unfortunately, service is a total flop. Our waiter was unfriendly and showed an attitude towards guests that reminded me of a bouncer who cares too much about being there at a time. working in a hip place, remembers (which is kind of funny in Basel...). None of our orders were brought correctly (we then gave up the second time and drank/eat what came) and many things had to be ordered twice because our order was forgotten or it simply took forever for the drinks to be prepared. Definitely needs improvement. In any case, I'll switch my focus back to the other, friendlier bars in the corner until the whole thing has hopefully settled down.

The bar in the basement has been beautifully renovated! The roof terrace is great with a great view. Unfortunately, there are extremely long waiting times (until you get to a table and then until you are served). Lan then sits at the table with up to 2 other parties. Everything is a bit tight. The drinks are normally priced, but 3/4 of them are ice. Ordered different drinks and no one was happy. The 'punch' was missing. No lights, mediocre ambience and no music. Absolutely has potential - please make the most of it!

A good atmosphere and a beautiful view!

Special location with a great view in Basel and very lovingly designed. Currently the processes are not really established yet and this requires a lot of patience😊 But they definitely have potential...

I visited the bar two weeks ago. Great view, good drinks... but bad, sometimes arrogant bouncers... What annoyed me the most was the answer to my request whether I could enjoy a quick aperitif on the terrace with 20 people (corporate customers) on July 21st between 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m …. No, we do not accept reservations. On this day we are supposed to queue 10 minutes before the door opens and hope that there is room!!!!! After all, the students would also be queuing... 30 minutes for a drink with 20 people, you can't find a solution!!!! We tried again this morning via email and received another rejection... Apparently the company is doing so well that they just don't need it... It's a shame, but as a managing director I don't stand in line with 18-20 customers and hope that they let us in... Simply embarrassing And perhaps you should also take into account that 20 people are only there for 30 minutes... Don't drink mineral water......, in any case we will no longer recommend this bar.

Super nice roof terrace with a fantastic view of the Rhine. Delicious drinks at reasonable prices. I will gladly come again.

Top Bar - Top of Basel Fine delicacies with the most beautiful view of the Rhine. I'll be a regular 😊

A beautiful place; Due to high demand (location and weather), there is a lot going on at the moment. Sometimes a bit of patience is required at the entrance - but it's 200% worth it.

We tried to visit the bar for the first time last night. Just finding the lift was a challenge. After we finally mastered it, we took the elevator to the fourth floor, only to be turned away in a very unfriendly manner. That's why we can't say anything about the content of the bar, but we weren't in the mood to try it again. Why is security at the top of the entrance and not at the bottom of the elevator? Would be more pleasant for everyone involved. You could save yourself the trip upstairs if the bar is already full (max. 60 people). A label showing how to get to the elevator would also be helpful.

I came last Friday (01/07) and arrived around 7:00 p.m. At around 9pm my husband went to the toilet (which is on the ground floor) and on the way back the security guard (his name is Ali) wouldn't let him go and said he wasn't at the bar. It was an extremely embarrassing situation , as we had to talk to our waiter to prove he was at the bar. The man was very rude and doesn't know how to deal with customers. He didn't believe what we said and we had to prove the situation. You need to have qualified people at the bar to control who comes in and out and who know how to deal with customers. I didn't have to prove anything, he should verify the information. After the situation, our group (8 people) decided to leave the place. Gabriela Amorim

Outlook great! Top location! Bartending skills on the roof top, flop! I imagine professional bartending in a location like this. Pity.

Nice bar. Was greeted very unfriendly twice, respectively. been rejected. Obviously you can afford to treat customers like that!

Nice rooftop bar with a spectacular view over the old city of Basel. The bar has 2 floors a first large bar and above it a rooftop bar. Definitely worth it

Very nice tower terrace. And in bad weather or too many people, it's also very nice inside.
