Open Space For All

At Bar Rouge we believe in creating an open and welcoming space where discrimination has no place. Our aim is to create a safe and comfortable space for all to socialise, party and meet others in the community.

Gayfriendly Club in Basel

We are proud to be a gayfriendly club in Basel, Switzerland, where everyone is welcome and accepted. Our philosophy revolves around empathy, respect and tolerance for all people, regardless of their religion, race or gender.

Bar Rouge creates an environment that is free of strife and crime and fosters a sense of trust and community among our guests. Our staff strive to cater to the needs of each individual and ensure that everyone feels comfortable and has an enjoyable stay.

At Bar Rouge, we celebrate diversity and inclusivity. We welcome people of all skin colours, beliefs & sexualities and value them for who they are. Whether you identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex or queer, you will find a place where you can be yourself without being judged or discriminated against.

No To Discrimination

Our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community is also reflected in our support for LGBTQIA+ rights and visibility. We proudly display the rainbow flag, a symbol of pride, diversity and solidarity. We stand against homophobia, transphobia and all forms of discrimination and strive for equal rights and acceptance.

We believe in the power of representation and strive to create a diverse and vibrant atmosphere where everyone feels seen, heard and celebrated. Bar Rouge is not only a gay-friendly club, but also a family. We embrace the concept of families of choice and recognise that love and support can come in different forms. We celebrate the unique identities and relationships within the LGBTQ+ community, including same-sex partnerships, marriages and rainbow families.

Join us for unforgettable nights of party music, great company and a warm and accepting atmosphere. Experience the joy of being part of a diverse community that values love, respect and equality.

Come and discover the vibrant LGBTQ+ scene at Bar Rouge - your gay-friendly bar in Basel.

During clubbing, gentlemen are only admitted with a female accompaniment. This house rule serves to create a balanced atmosphere and to protect our female guests. We can understand that certain people may feel disadvantaged by this. We recommend arriving early. Occasionally we can make exceptions. If you come without a lady, please contact us in advance via WhatsApp in the office:

Thank you for your understanding.
