Basement Wines

Really the only place in Colfax to get a great beer on tap.  Lots of good choices that changes frequently.  When I come back in town to visit my family, a stop here is always on the schedule.  Get the chicken sandwich on the jalapeno bread.  It is seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.

Colfax is a bit libations challenged.  Basement Wines seems to be serious about helping rectify that difficulty.  Being small, they don't have a huge selection of anything except, maybe wine, but they try.

I'm a beer guy, not a wine guy.  Luckily, for me, they have some nice stuff on tap as well as in bottles.  Since the owner is good buddy's with the local cidery (Fox Barrel), you can find great local cider on tap!!!

The food is a cut above normal pub-grub and you can enjoy eats and drinks while taking advantage of their free Wi-Fi.

Cozy, local, informal, packed with real people.  You can't go wrong.

This is my #1 regular hangout. Seriously if I was to tally up the amount of money I spend in here, I'd probably faint.

In any case a typical visit to Basement entails some combination of the following, usually all of them:
 - Good beer on tap and bottle
 - Great wine by the glass and the bottle
 - Good music (via satellite or sometimes live)
 - Fantastic sandwiches, pizza, chili, and other food
 - Intelligent conversation
 - A game of darts (real) or cribbage

Owners Lee and Laurie along with bartenders Mark, Kay, Carrie and Jovanna all help to create an atmosphere that attracts a loyal crowd of regulars as well as occasional visitors from here and there. Next time you're in Colfax looking for food, drink, or just a respite from the freeway, come on in!
