rec room
Basement hangout area
A rec room is a room in a house set aside for recreation and leisure activities—games, hobbies, entertaining guests.
Short for recreation room, it typically occupies a basement or other informal space: The kids are playing pool in the rec room.
The term evokes mid-twentieth-century American suburban domesticity.
