Kabar is a place for one and all & reminds me of establishments of my youth before it became de…read morerigueur in America to make bars non-family friendly. Kabar could be best described as a cafe-bar. The menu reflects a somewhat Mediterranean flair. Among the offerings: (Spanish) tortilla, panini, & tiramisu. I also spied soup on the menu as well as pasta. The bar is well-stocked with product the we'd refer to as 'call' or 'top shelf' back home. Some favorites that caught my eye were: 12 yr Caol Ila, (3 types of) Absinthe, Hendricks and Sapphire gin. For those not interested in spirits, Kabar stocks a small but good selection of beer. There's the house brew: Kabier; Züri brew: Turbinenbräu & Basler brewers, Brau Bude, also make an appearance. We visited during the late afternoon. Kabar was just about half full with families, couples and solos. Strains of a reggae tune were heard over the speakers, but it was not imposing & we could comfortably chat. Kabar, located on the grounds of an old barracks where the annual Basler Tattoo is held, boasts an ample outside seating area surrounded by a wide expanse of lawn & paved surfaces. Visitors to Basel would do well to both visit the barracks & stop in for a nosh and a libation at Kabar. Transport: Tram 8 from the central station.

The food at Noohn is always terrific, but the service has gotten worse and worse over the last few…read moreyears. My most recent visit - which will definitely be my last - the place was 75% empty and there were multiple waiting staff on hand with very few customers to look after. Despite this, I had to request the wine list, which was finally given to us about 5 minutes later when we ordered our food. I then had to flag the waiter down 15 minutes later to take our wine order, which arrived after our food. We finished our meal and waited for about 25 minutes before anyone arrived to clear our plates and offer us dessert. By this point we were so frustrated and had basically lost our appetite so we declined dessert and asked for the bill. So the overall experience was not defined by the food, which is very good if a little pricey, but by the truly abysmal service. I have probably been to Noohn 10 times in the last 6 years or so, but I won't be returning again.
