Fodor's Expert Review Restaurant Fischerstube

$$ Kleinbasel Swiss

The restaurant part of the Fischerstube, a famous local brewery, has a simple look, with whitewashed walls and sanded wooden tables, and offers a range of tasty snacks like oven-fresh pretzels to heartier meat-heavy dishes of sausages, schnitzel, and burgers. The brewery produces its own lagers and ales in the copper tanks you see at the back of the room; if you're serious about sampling the local color, stop in here for a cold one. If you like the Ueli Bier, named for a Fasnacht jester, you can buy a keg to take home—or ask for one at your table. In summer, the small rooftop beer garden is very popular.
