I've talked about the Elephant Room on Congress a bit in this space and even mentioned that it is a basement club. If you are looking at your shoes as you walk on the east side of the street between Third and Fourth, you might notice the neon in the basement window inviting you in. There aren't too many basement places in Austin for the very good reason that basements are hard to dig here. Another downtown basement houses Bess, a bistro Sandra Bullock owns, under an old hotel (now offices I think) on West Sixth. Seems there are lots of basement clubs and restaurants in New York. The Village Vanguard is one of my favorites. It's also a jazz club.
