basement bar
Subterranean drinking spot
A basement bar is a drinking establishment located below street level, typically accessed by descending stairs from the sidewalk.
The setting often creates an intimate, speakeasy-like atmosphere: We found a little basement bar tucked under a bookshop.
The term also refers to a home bar built in one's basement: He spent the summer finishing the basement bar.
