The Basement at Oskar Blues Grill & Brew

The Basement sits below Oskar Blues Grill & Brew at 118 N Tejon St in downtown Colorado Springs. It's a small stage attached to a brewpub, the kind of setup where you can grab a burger and one of their beers before heading down for the show.

Being part of a brewery restaurant, it tends to draw a casual crowd more than a dedicated concert audience, so expect a relaxed night out rather than a big production. Worth a look if you're already downtown and want live music without much fuss.
