Lizard Lounge

Unfortunately, all I have are blurry photos and some videos but that is a FANTASTIC sign. Lizard Lounge was great, the local bands and artists that played were extremely talented, something I wouldn’t have expected had I not read other reviews. I ended the night talking to a few of the folks playing and they were down to earth and humble of their work. Although there was only one bartender, he was friendly and worked hard. Loved this little spot.

This was our second time coming to the lizard lounge. Traveling all the way from Miami for my husband's feature. First of all our food was delicious and the service was good. The place was packed, standing room only! The night began with a poetry slam. Then a break, which was followed by the feature. The host was so drunk that he couldn't give a decent introduction. Most patrons departed after the slam so the crowd had dwindled down to only a few. The band "Jeff Robinson Trio", played so loud that you struggled hear the feature Poets performance. We travel extensively to alot of poetry venues and this one was very disappointing. All the Poets who performed were AWESOME, but the structure of the show and the host condition left us frustrated. Again food and service was great. I give that 5 stars! The show... could be improved.

If you're either a visitor or a resident, the Lizard Lounge is a must-see. The restaurant side has everything you can want: great food, large portions (seriously, the chicken nachos will feed a family of 4, easy), a friendly staff, and reasonable prices. The lounge side is cozy and always hosts the best musicians. Bear in mind that the lounge is 21+. The only drawback is that the cover charge can range from $10-$20, which I don't necessarily agree with; however, the music/poetry night is always worth it. If you're looking for a new date night spot, a place to hang with friends, or a new solo adventure, the Lizard Lounge is the perfect place for you.

I'm a big music fan, so when the music is right my mind is right. Went to this spot to check out a drummer friend, stayed for so much more. It was a super funky experience.. words won't do justice. it's worth checking out. I'm going back soon to check out another band by the name of Dub Apocalypse. The musical part of the venue is in a sub level and may feel a bit claustrophobic for some, but once you order a beverage and begin to absorb the music, you'll be fine. It actually enhances the experience You can almost get close enough for the musicians to sweat on you.. If you're into that stuff (..and who isn't) On my first trip I got the chance to see 3 bands.. all very good! Think funky, jazzy, Erykah Badu, Parliament. Vocalists were on point and very entertaining.. and the music? FugetAboutit!!
