Frommer's Review
No one comes to this restaurant expecting a mind-boggling culinary experience. People visit because they want to drink one of the fresh-brewed local lagers and ales. Order the house ale, named Ueli Bier after a Fasnacht clown, and you'll be expected to drink every drop of the mammoth 5-liter serving you're given. If you'd rather drink at a slower pace in the comfort of your own hotel room, the brewers also sell 15-liter kegs. The food here isn't anything special. Expect such hearty fare -- good with beer -- as regional sausages and a big serving of rump steak. This is one of the most fun spots in Basel for devotees of the brew.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
