More Than a Venue. We're a Vibe.
Discover the Story Behind Lisle’s Favorite Outpost for Music, Food, and Good Times.
Your Home for Musical Highs & Dive Bar Vibes
Locally owned and operated, Basecamp was born from a simple idea: to create a timeless, laid-back hub for the community right here in Lisle. We’re more than just a stage or a bar; we’re the go-to destination for residents from Naperville to Downers Grove, Westmont to Aurora, who are seeking an authentic experience.
Our foundation is built on three things: electrifying live music from the best local and national talent, over-the-top dive bar food that surprises and delights, and a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home. Whether you’re here to catch a show, celebrate a milestone, or just unwind after a long week, you’re a part of the Basecamp family.
