Bassline Pub

This place is a little weird, but I like it anyway. It has a neighbourhood pub kind of feel about it, very small, mostly regulars, all nice folks.
Sunday has Karaōke and since this bar is so tiny, the rotation is short, so you can get lots of songs in. They run a little earlier than the other Karaōke nights so you don’t have to be a wreck come Monday morning.
Wednesdays are open mic. Thursdays have the electric jam, which is still open mic but more band-​oriented, with a few amazing regulars who really tear the roof off with great rock & blues. It gets pretty loud but the sound is good, these people know what they’re doing.
They have about 8 beer taps, quite a few decent ones like Czechvar, Goose Island, Mill St. and so on, usually changing one every few months. They always have at least a couple good options for us beer geeks beyond the usual Coors/​Keiths/​Molson swill.
The food is surprisingly good, far better than you’d expect from an odd little bar in a strip-​mall, and modestly priced. Great chicken wings, the smoked-​meat sandwich is very nice too.
Service is usually pretty good, even when it’s packed they still keep things moving smoothly.

This used to be a favorite hangout of mine when it was called Bass Line Station. They’ve recently re-​branded to Bassline Pub and Eatery and have opened a second location at the Fat Cats Stadium called The 2^nd Bassline Skybar and Restaurant.
My favorite night here has always been Sundays — who doesn’t love a good Karaōke night? Wednesdays are open mic nights and Thursday nights are electric jam nights. The place is small, but I think the intimate venue is great — especially for new musicians. Staff are friendly and always remembered my favorite drink.
Yes, Bassline is in an odd location, but it was super convenient for me since I lived in one of the many apartment complexes in the neighborhood. I think it works well for students since Algonquin College is down the street and there’s tons of students nearby.
I’ve seen some great bands here (including an amazing Sublime cover band whose name I can never remember…) and have made a ton of great memories. Their pub food is tasty, but that could be because I’ve always had a few cocktails beforehand. Either way, you’re sure to enjoy yourself if you love live music and good company.

Expensive drinks. Atmosphere is alright. One nice thing is that there’s lots of live music. Sort of a weird location.

Bassline Station is a so-​so bar in Nepean that would do a lot better if it were in another location.
Bassline Station, which used to be called Bourbon Street, which used to be called Jugglers, is located in a strip mall along Baseline Road at the corner of Greenbank. In the mall is a medical clinic, a convenience store, a small music store little else. There is not a lot of passers-​by, which is made very apparent with the lack of activity outside the bar.
It started out as a music venue for local talent. In the Nepean area there are a lot of aspiring musicians, but the plan doesn’t seem to be working. There are people there from time to time, but they seem to be mostly regulars.
Inside, it’s tight but they do have a nice, intimate stage and a small dance floor. The bar itself is small, but suits the establishment. The food and the hours food is served seems to change so I would call ahead if you’re going to checkout the menu. When it first opened they were going for high-​class pub food, but again, that changes.
There simply isn’t enough of music enthusiasts going to Bassline Station for it to reach its purpose of being a good music bar away from the downtown core. It’s location isn’t helping either.
If you’re in the area, stopping by isn’t a bad idea, but don’t expect the world.
