The freshest craft beer in town is brewed in this industrial space inside Basel’s former electrical substation located at Voltaplatz. We brew our Volta Bräu beer after traditional methods and with strong passion. The brewpub combines an urban feel-good atmosphere with the attraction of the brewery – our home-brewed beers are tapped and served directly at the bar. The love for beer and the desire for variety and change is reflected in the selection.
We try to make sure that all beer enthusiasts can always find a seat, so we only take reservations for groups of 12 or more. If you’re organising a special event, we will gladly put together a suitable package for you. Our rotisserie BBQ is exclusively available for groups who enjoy grilling up food on their own. Here you will find more information and our menu suggestions. We look forward to hearing from you.
What makes a beer a good one? The most obvious though appropriate answer really is: When it’s delicious! But beer is a matter of taste and will always be and so everyone has to find his own favorite - this often depends on regional habits and initial drinking experiences. Therefore, we at Volta Bräu plead for diversity: On our taps we have up to 7 different home-brewed beers at a time ready for you to taste. Cheers.
