    Hidden gem on a side street just off the Rhine. Old Swiss tavern style without being too overdone. Modern bar with plenty of schnapps, good wine, and tasty draft beer. Had several of their beers, including a seasonal stout that was surprisingly really good. Food was phenomenal, especially the seasonal asparagus cream soup. Stellar experience.

    Staff was friendly and food was very good. House-brewed Beers, nonetheless, where not fantastic. Lager way too sweet. In any case, I do recommend this place

    Started with the Buffalo mozzarella. Definitely a winner! For meals, we had a pretzel burger and the prime rib. Both were outstanding! Wait staff were all friendly and attentive. Added bonus of a marching band playing down the street and then showing up in front of this place. Away from the "touristy" areas. Highly recommend!

    Very nice location, historic restaurant. Food is good although not spectacular. Price is really high, even for Swiss standard, too high for the place and food quality. Unfortunately they brought a basket of bread with a cockroach inside, that started running on the table. We quickly killed it and let them know, showing them. They brought the bread away and changed it, pretending nothing happened. No "sorry" or any sort of apology, on the moment or later. I don't think we will come back unfortunately.

    Service, ambience, beers, food and overall our last night's visit was more than satisfactory as all the previous times. Staffs are super-friendly and welcoming as always. Being one of the oldest brewery of Switzerland, Fischertube-Basel never disappoints me.

    Had a great late lunch in the back garden. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the beer flight. Two of us shared a pretzel, a feta melon salad, a sausage salad (delightfully goofy and delicious), and the sliced beef filet (yummmmm butter and herbs and streak)

    It's wild-season at the moment (hunting season). We had pumpkin soup and seasonal salad as starters, venison loin as our main course (soooooo goood) and shared the grape-beermisu dessert. Everything was perfect! Friendly staff, smoke-free environment (you can smoke outside of course!) and clean.. The restaurant makes it's own beer (Ueli Beer). Highly recommended and definitely want to come back here again.

    Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and mediocre food. Its a bit pricey for what’s on offer.

    We made no reservations but we still could eat there. Making a reservation is recommended, though. Food was very nice, typical Swiss food accompanied by the beer from the brewery

    Super nice place! We had dinner here and i ordered the vegetarian tartar. Within minutes they asked how it was. I said it was not how i expected it to be. They offered a new dish immediately. Great service, fast and kind. We will come back for sure.

    A week in Basel and this was my best dining experience. Friendly staff, lovely outdoor dining, great beer, beautifully plated meals, extremely delicious sauces and homemade spatzle offerings. A must do restaurant!

  • 5/5 Esther K. 2 years ago on Google • 50 reviews
    We went there on Easter night and we were very pleased with the food. The waiter was very nice and polite, taking care of our needs especially with 2 little ones and let us order for the kids first. Good beer, very good Swiss/German food especially if you are a meat lover.

    Meals are average, but the beer is phenomenal. The staff are kind, and the ambient very good. One has also a very good view of the brewery operations on site.

    Wonderful lunch! My pork cheeks were perfectly soft! And besides they have awesome beer there! Goes perfectly with a hot pretzel!

    Was introduced to this local Swiss bier pub by a local years ago and it continues to not disappoint on their craft bier and very traditional Swiss food (Tostitos was excellent, salmon was over done). Try their Ueli Dunkel

    We turned up without a reservation and they found us a space on a sharing table. I told them I fancied a side as a main, maybe with cheese. They made it happen. Great service, rustic but tasty food and a price that doesn't break the bank.

    Decent place for beer and meals. The summer ale was quite good and refreshing. The sausage platter and the snails were also great.

  • 5/5 Phillip S. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful place to meet in Basel. The atmosphere, beer, & local people are great. The food is good with dining inside, or in the garden & terrace outside. The location is in a quiet, but central, street. The staff are aloof, but very efficient, & quite friendly. The food price is typical for Switzerland.
