Superb cocktail lessons with Fabio. And a spectacular view. A must visit in Basel if you love a drink and a view. Ask for a cocktail lesson.

After a good evening and in a celebratory mood, we encountered extremely aggressive security. I have some of my fondest memories here. Business meetings, parties and more... Today it's all history. :(

We had booked the cocktail class as a corporate event. Our “teacher” Mark was super likeable. It was very informative and entertaining. Small cocktails between tasting were also there:)
