Art Basel is officially here. There's a ton of events and parties going on all at once in Wynwood this week, which can only mean one thing: everyone will be in Wynwood and everyone there will be in need of a drink... or three.

So it's a good thing that SuViche Wynwood is hosting Basel House -- a pop-up gallery and event space complete with a full liquor bar and DJ-spun beats.

Consider it your go-to hangout spot, a place where you can escape from the Basel madness.

And if you're feeling impatient and wish it were legal to drink and drive on your way to Basel House, you're in luck. Basel House's Cycle Party -- a "party bike" that's pedal-powered by 16 people on barstools -- will be cruising around Wynwood giving free rides to the pop-up.

Of course, there's also plenty of art to look forward to. A lineup of internationally renowned street artists and contemporary artists such as El Kenor and Cope2 will be showcasing their work with nightly live-painting sessions.

On Saturday, December 8, there will also be a live painting of a 1961 Bentley, because, you know, anything goes during Basel.

Basel House debuts today at SuViche Wynwood from noon to 3 a.m. and will run through Sunday, December 8. Make sure to send your RSVP to [email protected].
