Basement Reggae: In Like a Lion(ess) Edition

March 10, 2018 @ 10:30 pm - March 11, 2018 @ 3:00 am

BASEMENT REGGAE: Cincinnati’s ONLY All-VINYL monthly reggae dance party! Going strong for FIVE years!

This month, join DJ Abiyah and DJ Grover for Basement Reggae: In Like A Lion(ess) Edition, and help us usher in March with a ROAR pon di dancefloor!

Every Second Saturday. Always $FREE.99. 21+. 10:30p-2a.
The Comet. 4579 Hamilton Ave. Kitchen open until 1am.
Always $4 24 oz. Red Stripe bottles!

Basement Reggae…it’s like a reggae house party in your cool grandma’s basement, complete with a small bar (full bar upstairs). DJs Abiyah and Grover alternate sets every 30 minutes to keep it fresh for the people!

Complete your Basement Reggae experience with a jerk tofu (or many other vegetarian and non-vegetarian options) burrito, quesadilla or nachos from upstairs! Kitchen open until 1am! Menu at http://cometbar.com/?page_id=10.

As she does each month, our lovely Basement Reggae bartender Corinne will be concocting a custom adult punch. Stay tuned for more details on this month’s special! Also, 24 oz. bottles of Red Stripe are only $4!

Queen City Imperial Soundsystem brings that HOT VINYL FIYAH to Cincinnati’s favorite REGGAE DANCEFLOOR…the BASEMENT at THE COMET!

Get a burrito, a drink and dance the night way with us…and Barrington, Cutty, Shabba, Yellowman, Dennis Brown, Sister Carol, Anthony B, Papa San, Tony Rebel, Sizzla, Super Cat, Tanya Stephens, and more of your favorite classic reggae and dancehall dance tunes!

This is definitely not a sit-down affair…it’s DANCING all night long! Queen City Imperial Soundsystem lays down the reggae vinyl vibes, from the mid-70s through the late 90s, for your dancing pleasure! There ARE a few barstools, tables and a bench in the basement if you need to take a quick break from dancing, but you can also head upstairs for a breather where there is plenty of seating in the bar and dining/music room area.

For the uninitiated, here’s a rundown on how we run tings on Basement Reggae Night: around 10:30pm, we start a little slower with some smooth riddims so you can chill and get settled in to your vibe. Around 11:00ish, we begin to pick up the pace with some of your favorite uptempo DANCEHALL classics. By midnight, we’re on full blast with the DANCEHALL vibes until we shut down at 2am.

FREE for all who enter. 21+. 10:30pm-2am. Bar upstairs AND in the basement with our badass Basement Reggae bartender Corinne! Kitchen serving up vegetarian (including jerk tofu!) and non-vegetarian nachos, burritos and quesadillas until 1am! Menu at http://cometbar.com/?page_id=10.

TO GET TO THE BASEMENT, walk straight past the bar and sink on the left and you will see an open door with a Reggae Night flyer that leads to the steps that go downstairs.
