ART HOUSE Rooftop Bar & Lounge

Perched atop the Art House Basel hotel on Steinenvorstadt 42 in Basel, the rooftop bar and lounge delivers a refined, art-infused drinking experience. The space features two terraces, indoor lounge seating, and stylish décor that blends modern industrial touches with creative design elements.

You’ll find cocktails with thoughtful names and crafted ingredients (for example the “ART HOUSE Mule” and “Gigi Hadid Shot” as listed). The drinks menu is supported by a small selection of rooftop snacks and good wine/champagne options.

Feedback emphasises the friendly service, relaxed yet stylish ambience, and the strong view across Basel’s rooftops and distant horizon. One reviewer noted:

“Artsy, urban ambience with delicious food and drinks! … the perfect place in the middle of the city to catch up with colleagues and friends.”

Because it’s part of a boutique design-hotel, the atmosphere leans upscale-laid-back rather than nightclub loudness. It’s ideal for an after-work drink, rooftop date, or casual gathering with a view. Note: While open daily from about 16:00 onwards, table reservations are recommended for terrace seats.
