What People Are Saying About Basic Urban Kitchen & Bar
The Editor
Erin Chambers
Citysearch
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.

Hands down the best bar downtown
by LaceyM
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
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

Great Pizza/Atmosphere/Location/Staff
by cardboard
I love coming to this place! They have GREAT pizza (It is flat and basic...Like the name). The staff has always been friendly, even on busy nights. Their art shows are really cool too (Every Tuesday. Except Padre Home Game Days) Good place to meet people too.
- Pros: Everything from Service to events to food to drinks. And the Big A$$ Fan!
- Cons: No Cons.
