Earlier this Summer the establishment announced they would be closing for renovations through the end of the year, with hopes of bringing a downstairs bathroom and a little more space inside the renowned basement venue.

J&J's Basement, the sweaty but charming armpit of a venue, only holds 49 people and was home to the first annual Denton Comedy Fest last weekend and has hosted shows since the early '90s.

In addition to losing Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios earlier this year, this news hits especially hard to the underground music scene that lives within Denton.

You can still make your way downstairs now through this Sunday. As they say, grab a slice & a Schlitz. Denton is changing.
