Hinz und Kunz is one of Basel’s most popular cocktail bars just a stones throw away from Basel’s main railway station (SBB) and part of the vibrant and cosmopolitan Markthalle, an old domed, stone market place.

I would describe the bar as old school cool, it has comfy leather sofas for lounging on, a grand dark wood bar with an impressive number of spirits along the back wall.The bar has a treasure trove of cocktail making tools think, strainers, shakers, long twisted spoons as well as mashers and bashers of all shapes and sizes.  To tempt the senses further, feast your eyes on the dried orange slices, lemon grass, mint and rosemary that are being added to the cocktails that the team at Hinz and Kunz make without breaking a sweat. They stock over 155 types of rum and 95 gins as well as a staggering 483 different bottles of whisky/whiskey.
