Cracking wee pub, enjoyed my day with the GAWA. Matchday special was 6 franc for a tin of Carlsberg not bad for switerland prices. Hope to return someday with the GAWA, only this time let's top day off with a win. Thanks for the hospitality.

Whilst out and about exploring we just needed a beer and some food to refresh ourselves and decided to give Mr Pickwicks a try. Bad decision! Bar staff had a bad attitude. Food was average, tasted like frozen rubbish from a supermarket. Even if you are English and are tempted by the familiarity of the pubs design and offerings. Avoid at all costs. There are many great bars in Basel and this is not one of them.

Just a quick question, do they still do karaoke? If so on what night(s) of the week? Moving to Basel in Julycheers

Mr Pickwick is your quintessential British pub, with plenty of beer available on tap, wooden decor with carpet, football (or at times Cricket) on the box and a smattering of ex pats all around. Located in the Steinenvorstadt, a pedestrian street where you will find a lot of snazzy bars and restaurants in the centre of Basel, albeit the more upmarket ones, that is the more expensive ones!
Mr Pickwick is a fine pub though, and it has a pretty decent selection of British and Irish beer both on tap and in bottle.
In summer one can sit outside and do some people watching. also they open the large front doors which is great for letting in some cool Rhine air throughout the bar
The pub grub here is meant to be good (their nachos, and fish n chips are popular dishes) certainly what came out of the kitchen while I was there looked good, but as this is Switzerland I prefer to keep my money for a more refined liquid lunch. I went for Fullers Jack Frost, an English bitter that was fine. Staff were efficient, albeit a bit cold, but heh this is an English pub right! Anyway I do like Pickwicks, its a decent place and its always easy to find a seat and have a nice pint while planning what you will get up to in the night, a good starting point……even if its best not to look too closely at your bill, ouch! (Yes, I know, its Switzerland!)response / report this review -

Friendly staff, usual nice Pickwicks food and fast service. Never disappointed with this chain. The Swiss wetherspoons but a little more pricey!

A very authentic English boozer experience. Could do with a better selection of ales and beers though.
