KaBAR

Bar inside the Kaserne Basel cultural centre on Klybeckstrasse. Draws an artsy, mixed crowd tied to the venue's theatre and performance programme.

KaBAR operates as the bar arm of Kaserne Basel, one of the city's main independent arts venues — so the crowd shifts depending on what's on stage that night. It's less a standalone bar and more a place where the programme drives who shows up. Worth knowing if you're already going to a show, or want a drink in a space that isn't purely a nightlife destination.
