The Basement is a small, intimate venue known for its vibrant atmosphere and quality live performances. Located in Columbus, it features limited seating, with the best views available near the stage. The venue showcases a variety of acts, from local talent like Ms. N'Shai Iman to well-known performers such as Daley and Local H. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, clean facilities, and decent sound quality, though the cement floors and dim lighting add to its unique character. However, visitors should be prepared for warm conditions, especially during summer shows, as the lack of ventilation can lead to a hot environment. The venue also offers a long bar with decent drinks and nearby parking for a fee. Despite some minor drawbacks, The Basement is regarded as a hidden gem, providing an unforgettable experience for music lovers who enjoy energetic shows in a cozy setting.
Great venue to see the band up close. Saw Ben Kweller. Friendly staff. There are metal detectors and security to go thru-check the website. Expensive drinks but friendly bar keeps. You can get Mikey's Pizza through the window, inside.
