Women’s EM Lounge & Live Broadcast
Wednesday, 2 July – Sunday, 27 July 2025, from 6 pm or 9 pm

The Women’s European Championship is just around the corner – and it’s the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends and cheer on the great women’s football teams together! This July, we’ll be transforming part of our urban garden into a relaxed lounge where we’ll be showing the games live on our TV. Depending on the weather, we may even keep the roof over so that we can cheer together without a care in the world.
On some evenings, inspiring women host their evening; whether with their presence or by showing a film that moves them or even with a concert – take a look at our varied program and come and enjoy.
Without reservation – come as you are! If you would like to enjoy our menu or à la carte offer, you are welcome to make a reservation online ‘for dinner’. On Sundays we offer tapas, no menu or à la carte.

The Monsoon Wedding presented by Permi
Permi Jhooti is a multimedia artist who is known far beyond Basel for her innovative and creative approaches in the art scene. With a background as a professional footballer, she has developed a unique determination with which she puts her diverse ideas into action. These include SING!BASEL for the ESC in Basel, where she brought around 36,000 people together to sing. We have had a close relationship with Permi since Matt & Elly’s project phase. Our offices were right next to each other at the time, and since then many ideas have developed in different directions – some have been realized, others are still dreams. The dream of a place of community and exchange led us to create the “Lounge in the urban garden”. We created this space during the Eurovision Song Contest to bring people together through music on television. For the Women’s European Championship, we’re opening the space again to connect with like-minded people over football – relaxed, cozy, with good food and drinks.
On this evening you now have the opportunity to meet Permi in person and enjoy one of our delicious Smash Burgers together. On this match-free evening, Permi will share the movie “The Monsoon Wedding” that inspired her to go her own way. Join us for a beautiful evening of inspiration and community!

Soul presented by Carina & her daughter, Amalia
Carina is a healthcare professional with nearly two decades of experience, known for her deep passion for people and their stories. Throughout her career, she has cherished the opportunity to work in collaborative environments and positively impact the lives of others.
In 2018, her personal journey took a transformative turn with the birth of her daughter, a moment that reshaped her identity as a woman. After three and a half years of wearing uninspiring nursing bras, she tried on a new piece of lingerie and was struck by how it made her feel: confident, sensual, and truly empowered.
That experience became a turning point. From that moment on, Carina was inspired to embark on a new path, one that champions the freedom for women to express themselves, their bodies, and their individuality. This vision led to the launch of Intensify Me Europe, and in December 2024, she proudly opened the brand’s first Boutique Store in Basel.
The film she has chosen to present, Soul, echoes many of the values close to her heart. Its message, that life’s meaning isn’t defined by a single purpose, but by the small, everyday moments that bring joy and depth, resonates deeply with her own journey. Like the film, Intensify Me seeks to encourage people to embrace their own path, celebrate their uniqueness, and live fully in the present.
