Behind a coke machine

Just off the street, next to an ATM and down a flight of stairs below a cursive "basement" sign, you'll find a Coke vending machine.

That vending machine is the entrance to Basement, and while it's a little more obvious than I'd like it to be, the entryway before the door itself is nice for a little photoshoot with friends.

They've got a surprising amount going on inside. There are dartboards, pong tables, sports on live, popcorn, and generally a really cool vibe.

The darts costs a few bucks, the pong is free if you snag a table.

And it's in Chinatown, which means it's near a lot of amazing restaurants, so as an after-dinner spot I think it's well located.

It's high energy, pop, and a lot of fun with a group. Check it out. :)
