The Basement East

"Casual hangout for live music by nationally touring acts, with a bar for refreshments."

The Basement East is a Nashville live music venue located at 917 Woodland Street, operating as part of The Basement Nashville organization alongside its original location. The venue hosts nationally touring acts and local artists, with a bar, a large outdoor patio, local rotating food trucks on weekends, and an adjacent pre-show bar called Low Bar directly below the space. The Basement was established in 2005 by Mike Grimes and Geoff Donovan; notable artists who have performed at the original Basement stage include Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, Brothers Osborne, Sturgill Simpson, and The Lumineers. Located in Nashville, Tennessee, with two venue addresses: 917 Woodland Street and 1604 8th Ave S, Ste 330. Reviewers highlight the intimate proximity to the stage, spacious layout, clean restrooms, a large outdoor patio area, and generally attentive staff, though some note limited parking and inconsistent drink quality.
