Best sushi. Cool little basement place on the hill. -Stephen Hopcraft, Top Chef
Reservation and seating is impossible in this basement sushi bar. Great ambiance. Shitty customer service.
Really cool spot with a basement feel and live DJ. Highly recommend the Jumping Tuna roll and the Spicy Beef Teriyaki!
Wander down into the basement for random performances on random nights.
There's a lounge area in the basement if you walk past the ice machines
Check out the secret bar / lounge in the basement (past the bathrooms and ice machine).
The upstairs is nice, but the party is in the basement. Killer tight chunky sound system and a great crowd gettin' funky!
The bar and lounge are cool and the drinks are decent, but the key is the basement dancefloor with its insanely good sound system and underground vibe. It's everything that an urban club should be. Read more.
The sound system is great! Despite the fact event are down in the basement, ventilation keeps the place very cool. A must
No public bathroom. The science fiction section is small and at the very back of the basement. They have great graphic novels. :)
Small kids section in the basement
A very good selection of cook books in the basement
Watch for sightings of Basement Cat. He's awesome!!!
Saw the basement cat tonight. Best parties in the Bay!
Don't be shy, take the tour. All walks of life were in my group so you won't feel out of place. Our tour guide was Dane and he was awesome.
Bar in the basement is the oiginal Chronicle printing press room. Sip cocktails nestled among 100 year newspapers where Hearst made his fortune. So money.
Great, strong cocktails in the loungey basement of the Hearst Building. I like the Eagle (bourbon, homemade root beer syrup, soda).
Solid cocktail lounge in a basement with live jazz. Highly recommend.
Come for one of their many basement live music shows.
I stopped by the other night and saw a band play in their basement - it was so very cool.
Awesome vintage stuff and occasional special shows...the soul of the SF music scene
Classy cool basement with killer cocktails. The Emerald City was a standout!
Great happy hour including food until 6:20 pm. Just adjust your schedule to have your dinner at this time.
Loved the vegan menu. Avocado Maki were beyond good. Fried tofu delicious as well.
Like that you can try on shoes without a salesperson hovering over you. Sign up to be a basementeer member to get 10% every purchase. Worth it!
The best place to get your gear. I love that they rent camping equipment too! 10% discount for TeamIn Training! Read more.
Friendly helpful service. Discounted prices on all your sporting and outdoor activity clothing and equipment. -Laurine Wickett, Top Chef
My favorite sushi in the city, it's in the basement.
The best selection of cover tunes to eat raw fish to on the planet.
Seems a bit like it wouldn't be out of place in Blade Runner.
What a place! Nice decorated basement with top shows of great jazz performers...our experience I have to say, superb. Friendly staff, not many food options.
Amazing drinks, awesome three-piece Jazz band every night and food is served past midnight!
Family Lounge next to basement food court restrooms is nice kid hangout and "Dads are Welcome."
The basement is full of food!
Connected to Powell Muni and Bart stations at the basement level!
Great sale on cute clothes in the basement!
A favorite of my wife's, and I can see why. VERY cool store, very cool stuff.
Hang out with all the husbands, boyfriends, and partners at the long bench by the stairs.
No signal on the basement!
Quality coctails in the basement. Do try the Ake Ake if you fancy a anis aftertaste.
Definitely one of the best Tiki bars in the world, the competence with which they blend divey with quality is jaw-dropping. Try their Mai Tai or the Smuggler's Secret Barrel cocktail.
Ask for the tour of the basement and try to find the tunnel that leads to the Palace Hotel. Only VIPs will be allowed down stairs.
Reportedly, there's a tunnel that runs from the basement of this bar (est. 1908) to the plush Palace Hotel across the street. It is rumored that when President Warren Harding died in 1923, he did not
Proper old school bar concocting one of the best Pisco sours in SF. Ask Eric about the spaces history
