My Parents' Basement started as a pop-up before three friends behind it opened a permanent spot in Avondale Estates in 2015, pairing a beer bar with a working comic book store under one roof.
The kitchen turns nostalgic snacks into small plates alongside seasonal options, and the smash burger has built its own following. The bar runs a full spirits and draft beer program. Pinball machines are part of the room, with tournaments held the first Thursday and third Sunday of each month.
The comic shop restocks every Wednesday for New Comic Book Day, with subscription pull-list service available for regulars building out their collections. The Infatuation scored it 7.6/10.
