There's the main restauarant, the ping pong space, a small bar behind that and then out towards the back is a room they use a party space or a space for smaller bands. For larger bands, they move the ping pong tables. This very back room is down some stairs and opens to the parking lot. But this is a space used by the public.
JA gave an explanation for the photo with the floor broken. They were examining a space for a new restaurant.
As I have looked into Comet, one thing that needs to be acknowledged is this has been a functioning restaurant for what, almost 10 years? They got a good review in 2009, so probably have been popular for at least 7 years. So probably thousands of people have been inside the place with no real connection to the owner who could come forward if they saw evidence of a basement. Same goes for folks who went to the restaurant that used be in that location.

There is no evidence of a basement at the Comet Ping Pong building on CPP's instagram.

Didn't it show multiple pictures of what we presumed to be the basement, 1 with the floor broken?
