Volkshaus Basel is a significant cultural venue in Basel, Switzerland. Originally constructed in 1928 as a workers’ club and restaurant by the General Swiss Workers’ Union, it served as a social and political hub for the labour movement. Throughout its history, it has hosted a diverse range of events including concerts, exhibitions, theatre productions, and political gatherings.

Following extensive renovations completed in 2019, Volkshaus Basel now functions as a multifaceted event space boasting several halls of varying sizes alongside a restaurant and bar. It maintains its commitment to inclusivity and accessibility while presenting a broad program encompassing contemporary music, art, and socio-political discourse. The building itself is notable for its architectural style representing early functionalism.
