This roof top bar is well designed with day of the dead flavours and tasteful decor. Not to mention the HUGE range of wonderful beers. They have done this well and the service was nice and friendly

Always have a good time here - food is tapa style and excellent to share, the staff check up on you and the sangria is A+. Upstairs is ambient with blankets, heaters and the rooftop overlooking courtnay place. Great selection of craft beer available too.

Nice food, interesting crowd..and crowded it was! Reasonable prices and very more-ish. although it was busy we were not kept waiting long. It was a bit short of space between the tables. Good for family moutings as there were several tables with young children there...More

Description
Basque is based on the eating and drinking style of Northern Spain with its streets of bustling tapas bars. We offer an array of non-veg, vegetarian, gluten free and some vegan on request mouthwatering tapas and homemade pizzas, which are designed to complement the range of 12 craft tap beers and ciders, (and another five taps on the rooftop bar), imported Spanish and local wines and our extensive sangria menu. Grab a carafe of sangria, plonk on the rooftop, and watch Courtenay Place pass by beneath you.
