What reviewers say

Visitors praise Hirscheneck for its relaxed, informal, and socially engaged atmosphere, with many appreciating the good food and extensive vegetarian and vegan options. However, a common complaint is the perceived high price of wine and the practice of charging a deposit for plastic cups, which some find ridiculous.

About this place Hirscheneck

Hirscheneck is a long-running alternative bar and restaurant on Lindenberg in Kleinbasel, close to the Rhine. It is run as a collective and draws a left-leaning, mixed crowd. It is queer-friendly in that spirit, but it is not a gay bar. The kitchen is affordable by Basel standards, and the basement hosts concerts and parties. The tone is informal and political, so don't expect cocktail-bar service. Kleinbasel is Basel's livelier side of the river, and the Rhine promenade is right outside, which is busy on summer evenings.

Relaxed, informal atmosphere, yet socially engaged. Nice menu with many vegetarian options. Wine is on the pricey side, though!

Great place with a lovely atmosphere and a clear political mood. Very nice food (vegan options!) and drinks, good acoustic for pleasant talk, a place to be in Basel!
