The Basement

While Blackwood is certainly no New York or Los Angeles when it comes to nightlife, it does have a small main drag with a few trendy shops, a couple of cafes, and, of course, The Basement. While from the outside it doesn't look like much, it's one of the coolest clubs within an hour's drive and people from bigger cities often venture into Blackwood to dance and drink here. When you first enter the club you must walk down a dim stairwell to get to the dancefloor and bar. Halfway down, the stairwell opens up onto the club and begins to spiral towards the edge of a dancefloor large enough for a couple hundred people to dance at a time. To the left of the floor is a full bar and to the right the DJ's stage area. While most nights the club spins a variety of music, Thursday nights are devoted to Rap/Hip Hop, Fridays to House/Electronic, and Saturday is DJ's Choice, where he plays his own mixes.
