Nestled at Clarastrasse 11 in Baselâs vibrant Kleinbasel district, Herz is a cocktail bar that marries minimalist neighbourhood bar charm with world-class mixology. Founded by bartenders Martin Bornemann and Norbu Tsering, the bar emphasises local ingredients and distillery-to-glass drinks. Inside youâll find a sleek space: dark wood, clean lines, and subtle lighting, creating a calm yet precise ambience. The highlight is the seasonal cocktail menu, which changes with nature â think fig leaves in late summer, pears in autumn, chestnuts in winter. Many spirits come from the city-distillery upstairs, creating a tight local loop from distillate to cocktail. Despite its polished craft, Herz retains a warm neighbourhood feel: welcoming bartenders, relaxed crowds and no pretension. It has earned accolades too â named âBar of the Yearâ in Switzerland and featured prominently in cocktail guides.
