Great stop on a quick layover in Zurich. The location is about standard sized for the local area…read more They have an excellent selection of beef from all over the world. Everything from a solid built lager to even meade. The selection will not disappoint. The bar staff is quite friendly and incredibly helpful in weighing your options. For the beer on tap, they are happy to provide a sample to help sway you one way or another. Again, the bar itself is quite small on the inside with a few small tables. There is an outside seating area as well, but it is really not an option during the colder months. Overall, a solid choice to stop for a beverage. Looking forward to my next stop.

IMHO, this is a place Americans need to go to in order to experience a European craft beer vibe…read more It has great 80's(?) music playing in the background. They have 8 beers on tap from a Swedish brewery including 2 IPAs, 2 double IPAs. The Friday I visited, the place was run by two bearded guys. One was the manager who I asked about the beer selection. He explained "if I have not broken bread with you (the brewer), I am not selling your beer. " The vibe was friendly but a bit off kilter and Irreverent. I asked to open a tab and was given a small action figure to track my bill. The beer was not cheap with prices ranging from 9-15 CHF. However it offers a friendly vibe, is dog friendly, and is worth a visit

The pork knuckle MADE this meal worth it! The pork skin…read morewas crunchy and yummy, paired with mashed potato's, red cabbage sauerkraut, and gravy... you could tell that it was with great technique! Not to dry and my parents loved it -- they are the kind who are pretty picky when it comes to any sort of American/german/etc food. The pork ribs were yummy with a tangy bbq sauce on it but a bit dry. The fries/chips were so yummy though! The bratwurst was not that great and $22. It came with a weird potatoes square salad and the same red cabbage sauerkraut. Overall, it was a meal well spent. $122 for 4 people which is so worth. Odd thing is they did have a "restaurant" tax of $8 which I have never seen at other Swiss restaurants. Service was good. Ambience felt like a sports bar, and the wait before 5pm was not bad at all Would recommend if yall like meat and potatoes!

I got their nachos. I will admit I didn't like them, but I'm used to south Texas type of nachos. The salsa was sweet and the chips looked seasoned, but the flavor was lacking. I didn't try their beer. Prices are about the same as all the restaurants nearby. You'll spend $20-$30 for your dish.

Pretty cool joint in Basel. I've been here coming to Basel for work for three years now and wish I…read morehad found this earlier! There aren't a lot of places where you can get unique beers and try something new as you can also order 1 dl tasters. The fact that they had 3 IPAs on tap when I visited was a HUGE plus. It's a pretty cool vibe with some marriage of a California taproom and traditional German beer hall (e.g. white subway tiles and copper accents vs. animal horn tap handles and wood panel walls). I'm definitely adding this to my list of must visits. The only unfortunate thing though is that it's cash only...and given the price of some of the beers, it can get pricey real fast. Oh! And they also have some bottles, so take a look if the drafts don't interest you.

Outstanding. I'm a big NEIPA fan and wouldn't normally order this in Europe but decided wth... it was fantastic. The kind of NEIPA I'd order on the regular back home. Also had a Hefeweizen bc I had to. Also great. The food. So they have a small tapas menu but was looking for more, so looked at the dinner menu. Unfortunately the dinners didn't fit in my company allowed price range (Switzerland is way too expensive), so tapas it was! Honestly it was perfect. Cheese w chutney, salami, falafel and some local meatballs. All delicious and filling. Great experience. Just lower your cost Switzerland and I'd try more! I'll return next time I'm in Basel.

I arrived at Matt & Elly during the pre-dinner time when they have a very limited menu. I did not want a burger so I stuck with the beer and the wifi for an hour or two.

Delicious craft beers, a friendly bartender who spoke perfect English, a comfortable space to sit inside (heated area outside) and a speedy wifi. This was a superior spot.
