What People Are Saying About Basic Urban Kitchen & Bar

In Short – Three large, glass garage doors open into the spacious warehouse-turned-neighborhood hangout. Industrial track lighting lines the 20-foot ceilings, from which sheer panels hang to the floor to separate lounge and bar areas. Proud to uphold its monkier, just a few oversized ottomans and one purple felt pool table mark the simple space. Friendly villagers pack in after work or pre-Padre game to munch on huge pizzas and sip locally brewed beers.

Needs a facelift!
by alley2002 at Citysearch
After going to basic a few times to meet up with friends or for their tuesday night art showing, the last time was it for me!! The "doorman" has been flirty/rude a couple times but this time he went too far and said some inappropriate things to my friend as he was holding her ID. We all decided to turn around and leave .... never to return. Get better help if you want to keep your weekend regulars
- Pros: good pizza
- Cons: door staff was horrible!

Hands down the best bar downtown
by LaceyM at Citysearch
This used to be downtown's hidden gem. Now Basic is all the rage but, it still does what it intended to do right- be a great bar where people can eat, drink and be merry. The bartenders make you feel like family so you never want to go anywhere else.
- Pros: Hip

Pizza Pizza!
by RodgSDBoy at Citysearch
The pizza at Basic is very much what everyone says it is. Try anything on a white pie...soooo good. The bartender was super nice, made us superfruit mojitos with TY KU, which were bomb. And the mood of the place, although "basic" (haha), was really chill for a Sunday night. I've only been once, but I'm sure I'll be there again!
- Pros: Who can say no to great pizza and booze?
- Cons: Notta one
