In March 2020, an EF-3 tornado caused massive destruction in East Nashville.
One popular venue, Basement East, suffered extensive damage causing them to close. Now, one year later, they will reopen.
Via Instagram, they shared the news of reopening. Stating, “The Beast’s doors are flinging open this Thursday, March 4 through Saturday, March 6 for a much needed socially distanced hang to commemorate one year since the tornado-ravaged our city. With 5,000 square ft of space inside and almost 2,000 ft on the deck, we have plenty of room to distance a bunch of mismatched tables and chairs loaned by friends (thank you Mercy Lounge, Nashville Urban Winery and Marathon Music Works) to provide much-needed healing and camaraderie at this time.”
