The Best Wine Bars in Basel
VinOptimum am Blumenrain is a wine bar, vinotheque and a small oasis of pleasure. Wine and flint wines are served by the glass, as well as fine appetisers and hot dishes. The terrace offers a wonderful view of the Rhine - perfect for dinner or simply a relaxed drink.
The Vinothek am Klosterberg houses a carefully curated selection of wines from all over the world. Here you can buy, taste or enjoy an uncomplicated dinner with an aperitif platter - even at long tables in front of the shop when the weather is fine.
A French wine bistro with style and soul. The large selection of (natural) wines, biodynamic or organic, is complemented by fine platters for aperitifs or dinner. From time to time, openings and live music make for a particularly cosy get-together.
A cosy wine bar in Bäumleingasse with carefully selected European wines. The menu changes every five to six weeks and rare wines are also served by the glass. There are also delicious bread variations with olive oil as well as cheese and meat platters.
Consum has long since established itself as a permanent fixture in Rheingasse: The former home of Basel's first consumer association is now a meeting place for tapas, vino tinto and fine platters. Just a stone's throw from the Rhine and with an integrated boutique hotel.
The wine bar in the Markthalle Basel focuses on European and regional wines, particularly from Spain and Italy. From five decilitres, every bottle is opened for guests so that they can sample a wide variety of wines in a relaxed atmosphere.
The menu of Tapas del Mar is a dream for lovers of Spain. There is a wide selection of cold and hot tapas with and without fish or meat, plus a solid selection of Spanish wines. In summer, sit outside and watch the hustle and bustle of the street.
Spark has been bringing the flavour of Portugal to Güterstrasse in Basel since 2017. In addition to bacalhau and pastéis de nata, the bar offers selected Portuguese wines from Douro to Alentejo. The cosy inner courtyard is a particularly relaxing place to enjoy a drink.
