The Basement

"Mixed reviews here! We loved the atmosphere and music. Well drinks affordable, but don't keep your card open. The bar tender tried charging for 12 drinks when we had no more than 7, gave us attitude when asked for itemized receipts. Also they need more than 2 bartenders, waited 20 minutes to get our last drink. $5 cover kept out the rift-raft and was worth it...just watch your tab, and don't let them over-charge you."

"My wife and I had a fantastic night dancing into the New Year! What a great venue with a fantastic atmosphere. A little understaffed at the bar for the New Years Bash but I'm sure next year they will be prepared given this year's turnout. DJs played various music from across the decades and we had a wonderful time!"

"Glad to see this place has reopened. It's always been a nice place to grab a drink or catch a show."

"I was warned before I went that the bar service was terrible. In my experience, the bartender was not knowledgeable about the products on the menu, the communication was poor, the service was poor, and had the other bartender not been there to stop her, I would have been served a wine instead of the juice I ordered. Also the bartender didn't know the difference between a Pinot noir (dry red) and a gewurztraminer (sweet white) and I think I actually heard the old ghosts of Abruzzis rolling over in their graves. My friends who were ordering drinks with alcohol waited far too long for their drinks. As for the music that night, I won't speak to the skills of the DJ, but I will speak to the sound. The sound in that venue was awful! They need a better system for the acoustics in that place, or to book DJs that know how to adjust accordingly. The one thing I did enjoy was the crowd. The crowd there that night was well dressed and had a good vibe. I do appreciate that. I would go again, but if I have a similar experience I will not be returning."

"Cool vibes, glad the have jazz and other music performances at this cool venue, essentially jazzy bar, with hummus - my favorite. Next week they have charcuterie boards, perfect!"
