The Lab's Priorities

Only good stuff, from the closest source at a fair price.

Food

Everyday between 19.00-20.00 we will serve (vegan) freshly-made, delicious bar-food for 3 Table-for-4.

(Reserve your table and pay as much as you like).

Otherwise, we always have:

The best Hummus on this side of the Alps (CHF 8).

And as something new, we have different cheeses from Fromagerie Antony in France who also serves the Queen of England (per piece CHF 6).

Drinks

Only good Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic drinks.

But we are specially proud of:

Modernist Gin (made in Basel), our Schweizer Absinthes from Basel and Absinthe Aphrodite from Val de Travers, our schnaps from Jura, our Packs vodka also from Basel,

And our funky cocktail shots AND our Absinthe Fountain.

Events

Music, performances, comedy, story-telling, talks, art, movies, food, or just chill.

Support art and artists

We believe that the idea that culture should be free and artists can live on peanuts and love alone should be challenged.

Thus as a respected venue, we see it as our pleasure to treat artists the bestest we can. In order to do so, there will be a ticketing system for some events:

Normal: CHF 15-25 depending on the event,
Members/students: CHF 10.
Patron seats: 10 seats are reserved for our beloved patrons or other lucky guests who can come in for free.
Walk-ins: Some seats will also be available for sale at the door.

(The ticketing system applies only to some events. See Program)

Therefor we ask you to book your seat in advance even when an event is for free).

If nothing else, the Corona crisis has taught us that culture is essential and it has to be respected and nourished.

We hope you agree with us.

See you all very very soon
