I grew up just outside of Detroit in a neighborhood built in the early '50s, and I think that basement bars were standard in those cookie-cutter houses. After all, what better thing to do after a hard day at the auto plant than to sit down with a highball in your own basement? (unless it was bowling night, of course!)
