Creative drinks, breathtaking architecture, inspiring art and memorable encounters.

The Imi Bar in the Volkshaus Basel is a hotel lobby, coffee house, bistro and neighborhood bar all in one: a meeting place where guests can chat in a good atmosphere and enjoy signature dishes and cocktail classics.

Hand-laid mosaic floors, hand-blown lamps and walls full of modern art characterize the space and make the Imi Bar in the Volkshaus Basel an architectural gem that has found an imitator in New York with the bar in the renowned Public Hotel.

The bar and brasserie were redesigned and reopened by Herzog & de Meuron in 2012. The centerpiece of the famous Basel bar are the stained glass windows designed exclusively for the Volkshaus Basel by German artist Imi Knoebel, which celebrate the city of Basel in all its facets. Alongside Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral, the Imi Bar is the only place in the world where the artist's stained glass windows can be seen.
