The Basement

Located beneath Grimey's, one of the nation's finest record stores, the Basement proudly lives up to its tagline, "a cellar full of noise." It's a place where you can shoot some darts, meet new people, have a drink and listen to some incredible bands. Plus, the venue proudly serves up a rotating tap of the Nashville craft brew Yazoo.

The Basement is owned and operated by Mike Grimes of Grimey's Records and Geoff Donovan. It usually opens 1 hour prior to show time Monday thru Saturday and is closed on Sundays. The Basement is also available for Private Parties and Special Events which can include showcase and private functions. The Basement is a non smoking venue but has a spacious patio provided for smokers.
