Cocktails will always be a good idea at Bascule 🍸

Especially when it’s cold outside, the music’s good and no one at the table is ready to call it a night yet.

Cold outside, better inside.

The music starts and somehow everyone stays longer than they planned 🎶

Weekends at Bascule tend to do that. See you at the marina!

Whiskey tastes better when someone talks you through it properly 🥃

First Thursdays at Bascule are getting a winter upgrade 🥃

On the 4th of June we’re teaming up with Martell for an evening of live jazz, warming cocktails and good conversation by the marina.

Expect a special menu built around Martell Blue Swift, including serves like Rachel’s Bloom, The South Sowa and Jean’s Thyme, with the Martell Brand Ambassador joining us for the evening.

Cold outside, cozy inside, open to all.

Live music sounds better with a full bar and marina lights in the background 🎶

Weekends at Bascule tend to start casually and end a few hours later than expected, with live music every Friday and Sunday 🎵

That’s usually how you know it was a good night out (and we love it).

Some date nights are planned. Others naturally end up with cocktails, shared plates and staying at Bascule a lot longer ...

Some date nights are planned. Others naturally end up with cocktails, shared plates and staying at Bascule a lot longer than expected 🍸

The second option is usually more fun.

Hot take: the ice is more important than the gin. 🧊

Hear us out. You can build a perfect cocktail and still ruin it with bad ice. Cloudy cubes melt in minutes, dilute fast, and taste like the freezer. Clear, perfectly-sized blocks melt slow, chill hard, and let the drink stay the drink.

Because if it’s worth pouring, it’s worth pouring over the right rock.

This and live music all weekend at Bascule 🎶

15 May: Emile Swiegers (Band) | 17:00 – 19:00
17 May: Dylan Fine Trio (Jazz Trio) | 17:00 – 19:00

Good music, a full bar and the kind of evening that builds as the night goes on.
