Personal highlights

  1. Cliquenkeller: local slang for the basement of musical groups to practice
  2. All year round: during the year, the room is used to practice the songs
  3. Carnival Basel: during carnival, the rooms open as an improvised restaurant
  4. Food: they serve fresh cheesecake, soup, cake, whine and other local delicasis
  5. People: the only place in Basel where EVERYBODY is friends and talks together!
