About the Basin

Discover The Basin, Red Bluff’s open-air spot for bold BBQ, cold drinks, and live music. Located on the west side—just down the stairs off the sidewalk—it’s the perfect place to gather, unwind, and soak up the smoky flavors and summer sounds.

Live Music Fridays: Join us every Friday from June 6th to October 10th for live performances, great food, and good company. BBQ in one hand, drink in the other—weekends start here.

BBQ That Means Business: We take pride in our house-smoked meats, slow-cooked to perfection and paired with signature sauces that bring out every rich, smoky note.

Drinks That Hit the Spot: Beer, wine, and handcrafted cocktails—whatever your taste, we’ve got something refreshing to raise your glass to.

Come for the BBQ, stay for the music, and make The Basin your favorite summer hangout.

Meet Marcus

At the heart of The Basin’s mouthwatering BBQ is Marcus, our pitmaster who brings care and dedication to every cut of meat. He tends the smoker with patience and precision, making sure each piece—from pulled pork to smoky brisket—is cooked low and slow to bring out its full flavor.

Marcus treats BBQ like an art form, carefully layering smoke and seasoning to create bold, satisfying bites that keep folks coming back. His thoughtful technique and unwavering attention to detail are what make The Basin’s BBQ truly special.
