Reviews
The Basement earns a favourable 4/5 from Qypers, TripAdvisors and Yelpers. While some encountered a wait for service, reviewers are eager to praise the standard of meals, value for money and service.
Eclectic mix of customers, excellent range of food & drink, great bar staff who can pour a decent pint & mix a great cocktail. There are no negatives at this place!

The place looks a bit plain, but the food was great and the range of drinks reasonable. I would recommend this as a good bar to start the night or meet for a drink and some food after work. Would definitely visit again!
