About 1777
1777 is a casual Altstadt bar-café that extends hours until 11 PM Thursday through Saturday — a rare late-night option in Basel's Old Town. Expect walk-in availability, drinks-forward service, a relaxed room ideal for spontaneous visits rather than formal dining. Best for travelers seeking flexible nightlife without reservations.
Looking for a casual Basel venue with evening availability later in the week? 1777 is a casual option in Basel with verified hours that run until 11 PM on Thursday, Friday, Saturday. It is open Monday through Wednesday from 10 AM to 8 PM, Thursday through Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM, closed on Sunday.
Because only limited verified details are available, it is best to treat 1777 as a straightforward Basel option rather than a venue with confirmed cuisine, menu format, seating style, or booking policy. What is clear is its casual dress code and six-day schedule, with the longest hours falling at the end of the week.
Casual Late Hours in Basel

First-timers should note that no verified fine-dining format, tasting menu, chef credential, cuisine, drinks program, or price point is available from the provided information.

How It Compares
Against other dining options, 1777 is easiest to understand through its verified schedule. Safran Zunft, Schlüsselzunft, Schnabel may be worth considering if you are comparing named venues, but no specific menu, service, or atmosphere comparison for 1777 can be confirmed here.
Ramazzotti and Don Curry are other named options to consider when looking at dining choices. For 1777, the grounded decision points remain limited: it is in Basel, the dress code is casual, it is closed on Sunday, it stays open until 11 PM from Thursday through Saturday.
The trade-off is that many details travelers often want, such as cuisine, menu style, reservation requirements, dietary accommodations, pricing, are not verified here. For a broader look at Basel's dining spectrum, consult our full Basel restaurants guide.

1777 competes in Basel's casual bar-café segment rather than the city's chef-driven dining tier. Against Safran Zunft and Schlüsselzunft, both Zunft-hall venues with formal tasting menus, it offers easier access and later hours but none of the culinary ambition. If you're deciding between a reservation-only dining experience and a walk-in drinks stop, those venues serve different needs entirely. 1777 wins on spontaneity and late availability; the Zunft addresses win on food quality and service depth.
Closer comparisons include Ramazzotti and Don Curry, both casual Altstadt spots that accept walk-ins. Ramazzotti runs a broader Italian menu and handles groups more comfortably, while Don Curry specializes in curry plates with faster turnover. If you need food rather than just drinks, either of those delivers more substance. For pure late-night bar access without booking, 1777's extended Thursday-Saturday hours give it the edge.
Value seekers should note that Schnabel offers better wine selection and seasonal plates if you're willing to plan ahead. 1777's appeal lies in its low-commitment format: arrive anytime, order drinks, stay as long as the room allows. For travelers who prioritize flexibility over pedigree, it's the most practical choice in this part of Basel.
