The Basement Cafe - မြန်မာ

Very nice place to hang out with friends. Luckily we ended up with live band and we got great time. Price is very reasonable and foods are also above the average. Definitely we will go back there when we get a chance.

This place is actually really badass. Great night club vibe with a great DJ. If not for the 11pm curfew I could see this becoming one of the pioneering bars in the Yangon night scene. Westerners welcome.

Basement Bar delivers a hybrid bar house party nightclub experience the likes of which is uncommon to the Yangon nightlife scene. As the name suggests 'Basement ' is located 1 floor below its ground entrance. Coming in from the street entrance the walk past a small corridor and into the bar below is an exciting experience in and of itself. I went on a Saturday night and there was a DJ playing. The bar was pretty busy but started to kick off from about 10:00pm. On another Saturday night there was a live band playing mostly Burmese songs. Basement has a distinctive 'H ' design where the DJ was in the right side and patrons were in the left side room. I feel that the bar could make more use of its space and perhaps include high stools and or tables in the DJ room as it was open and unused space making the other room packed. Also, I feel that some bar stools at the bar would be a welcome addition since there were none there, and, at 10:00 pm on a Saturday night seats are much needed. In the absence of bar stools, lone patrons really have no option on where to sit as the seats and tables generally cater to group arrangements. I ordered a Myanmar beer for MMK1,500. This was served in a plastic cup. I feel that the plastic cups take away from the bar experience and glasses would have been better. The bar has only one toilet, given the amount of patrons, more toilets would be welcomed All in all, I believe that if and when licensing restrictions on opening hours are relaxed, the Yangon nightlife culture expands and if a few improvements (such as those mentioned above) are made, then Basement Bar will surely offer a top class underground bar nightclub experience.

Nice decoration Little expensive But totally overall Great place

This is one of my favorite spots in downtown Bar. The people are so friendly and the decorations are great. I definitely need to visit this place again to relax.
