Basement Bar

Basement bar is pretty cool; it’s not ridiculously cheap like a lot of the uni-​enticing bars in the area are, so the amount of students is kept to a minimum. The music is decent enough, and the drinks are pretty reasonably priced. It also stays open until the end of time.
My main gripe with this place was the fact that, despite being located in (wait for it) a basement, no one had thought to introduce air conditioning. I was there until 1am this morning, dancing manically with friends, and we would have stayed longer had it not been for the fact that it was hotter than the sun inside, and consequently it absolutely reeked. I’m talking melt-your-face-it’s-so-bad type smells.
I also wasn’t overly impressed with the attitude of one member of staff — I went to inform him that someone had thrown up in both the sinks in the ladies toilets, subsequently rendering them unusable. He bluntly informed me that it was not his problem, which wasn’t hugely helpful.

The Basement has a lot to offer as a late night bar that really sticks with the Orange Tree vibe. Friendly staff, great cocktails and great music brilliant to end your night with at the weekends, or start your night with if you wish (they’re open from 8−6am Fri and Sat) the week nights also have loads to offer! Great bar just the kind of thing Leicester needs

great night out, got 4 drinks tipped over my head! rememberd the goldon rule of always keeping your mouth open when your insulting a lady! free drinks!

Small and intimate, exactly what you would expect from somewhere called ‘Basement’. The entertainment is not bargain bin standards though, I have always loved the music pumping out at basement, even when things get a little hot and sweaty! It’s personal choice but I think it’s a great after hours bar which is never too busy because it doesn’t conform to the norm of heavy r&B or dance. Hopefully you’ll feel at home here. You will have to negotiate the stairs though, be warned that people do fall down them. so watch out!

haha fun night
relaxed dress code
old school rock n roll songs

Hahaha, Basement Barwere do you start? This truely is the place to get properly mashed up, if your not already. Loud music, sticky dancefloors, booze everywere, lovely doormen. This really is the place to drink your fill until silly o’clock and get tanked up ready for your swim in the town fountainamazing.

Basement is the place to be when all the other places have closed. There is no perception of time at the Basement bar — you may think you’ve just arrived, but it is possible that it will probably be 5am.
Unusual little venue, good music, chilled out and good crowd of people.

It’s four in the morning, you fancy another drink, but everywhere else is closed! What do you do? Go to everyone’s favourite, the Basement of course!
I love this bar, the tunes are always wicked on a weekend evening (or morning, depending), they’re open til early and I’ve never seen any trouble in there, it’s just full of people having a good time. For such a late bar the prices aren’t too bad and the bar staff are usually quite cheery.
It’s dark and dingy, the floor is sticky but these are all aspects of its charm. If you’re a night owl and you’ve not noticed this place before (where have you been?!) then check it out.
