DJ Joey Bills sucks. His music isn’t dancing music and isn’t fun. The other DJs have been good but this guy made me write a 1 star review.

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!

Small night club but definitely worth visiting for the feral

Unfriendly staff.

I did not get to try any food there but the music was great and it has a good atmosphere.

Fun spot

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.

Expected it to be better than hyped lol!!
My husband was not allowed to return back after he went out which was not told to us. Super crowded and a bad bad crowd. I got whacked and kicked by two dudes and the bouncers at the gate looked least interested. Asked for grey goose vodka and was handed house shitty vodka.
One place that I will never be going back too.

They took down my review I posted yesterday so i am re-posting it. Also have been reading so many reviews about how terrible the bouncers are. They are all on power trips and wanting to humiliate people in line. They are incredibly rude and inappropriate. Go to Cuzzys, the Loop, smack shack or literally ANYWHERE else. Not worth dealing with the bouncers.

I’m only giving one star cause you have to. I would give 0 if I could. Went here for a cousins party with 3 friends. The bouncers asked everyone to get in two lines by gender. Two females walked in the middle of lines and went in before us. My friend asked why do they get to go in before us and the bouncer took as she was trying to tell how to do her job, and proceeded to not let her in for the night. Many reviews show these bouncers need their ego stroked and have a god complex.

worst experience ever! they denied me entrance because i asked security why they let people in front of me and my friends, and we were in line first. security said i was giving “attitude” and let all my friends go in but me.

Don’t bother

Great start of the evening. They kicked my friend out from the bar for no reason and our entire friend group had to get out. They think they’re the police and they have a power trip. Avoid at all cost.

Had a really good start to the evening, but as many people have reviewed the staff ruined the entire experience. The bouncers, especially as others have stated have an extreme power trip going on. Most of them lack the common understanding for practical field training and the de-escalation. It’s unfortunate that the business has such poor representatives fronting their business.
Would never recommend as a visitor from an out of state.
