“ We had a great date night at the basement bar. We got there 9ish when the band was still playing on Saturday night. The band was fun, the drinks were generous, the bouncers were helpful. They have darts, pinball, photo booth, pong table and plenty of seating in long couch groupings. 6 dart dart boards were kept busy. The crowd kept growing the whole time we were there. Good music. We didn't try the food. We were able to find street parking. The entrance on the left side of the Nolo restaurant. ”
“ The security and their great service made this a 5/5 stop. Very safe, very friendly, and very professional! And I had a great time dancing! I witnessed security dismantle a situation so professionally, I had to write a review. I'll definitely come back when I want to dance my face off and have fun. You should too! ”
“ Sweet atmosphere, need to move the dart board where there pull tabs are and vice versa. The reason is because everyone that has to go to the bathroom crosses in front of dart board and almost gets a dart in the neck. ”
“ I’ve been coming to basement bar for YEARS & Josh has always been my favorite bartender. It’s important to trust your bartender & he’s someone I can always rely on! ”
“ Hosted an (off-hours) company weekday brunch buffet at Basement Bar, and the team was amazing to work with. It was the perfect space for a 40-plus person size event, and the team’s thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and competence put us at ease throughout. The food was great, and the stage was perfect for what we needed. Definitely recommend if you need to consider spaces for events! ”
“ Small night club but definitely worth visiting for the feral ”
“ I did not get to try any food there but the music was great and it has a good atmosphere. ”
“ Great bar for night life! Very casual but people are dressed up too, always has a great DJ and music. They just added another little bar area which is nice for when the bar is extra crowded. Bathrooms aren’t the cleanest but I would blame the patrons for that! ”
