The Basement just opened up in Logan square on Milwaukee near Diversey and it's worth checking out. It was just happenstance that I even found out about this place when I walked by it. They currently have some some amazing specials going on to commemorate the opening and that's definitely something you don't want to miss out on. They're currently running a great special on Sundays, one app, 8oz steak and fries entree and 2 old fashioneds for $45. The drinks were the highlight for me mostly because l'm a snob for a good old fashioned. The food while simple was good and satisfying. The fish dip was my favorite and was more of a ceviche than a dip. The fries were crispy and the steak while not your conventional rib eye, strip, or filet was still good and well cooked. The hummus was also a good app while I disagreed with my friends on which was the better app. I liked the space as well. It's definitely more of a lounge than a restaurant. Very dim lighting with limited tables but plenty of spaces to sit and have a drink. I hope I don't get murdered for this but it gave me Scofflaw vibes but in a much more compact space. I'll definitely be going back to try their Friday special which is a smash burger for and don't quote me on this $8 I think although tomorrow is Sunday again. Definitely check it out because I can't see this deal lasting. I had to add the last pic I found it hilarious
