Brasserie Zum Braunen Mutz — Restaurant in Basel

We ordered typical swiss dishes and we really enjoyed them, they were tasty and had lots of condiments. Can't say we didn't have a good time overall, the vibe was just a little off for me because I kind of felt like I was stuck in the past... The place needed some renovation/redecoration, the chair was very uncomfortable (it was wood, too hard) and the place was flooded with (almost only) old men drinking beer - we could't tell from the beginning that it was preferred by the elderly. Also, if you're a foreigner, upon entering, you may find it hard to understand at first which is the restaurant (it's the one to the left) and which is the bar (it's to the right) - this was extremely confusing for the first 5 minutes for us and there was no one there to help us and we saw no directions in English.

The same thing happened after we finished our meal. Everyone was friendly and attentive until it came to getting the final bill and paying.

Would recommend...

He passed by our table about 3 times before he decided to attend us, we ordered our beer, they were quite good, but when we tried to order a second round he pointed at the clock and said “No”., took our money and walked away. We figured the place was closing, but then we saw him serve two other parities with alcohol... i was so annoyed that I decided to give this place a...
