What People Are Saying About Silverlake Lounge

The Scene
A bar that typifies its neighborhood, the Silverlake Lounge is a Latino drag-queen hangout Friday through Monday and a by-the-book rock club Tuesday through Thursday. If that sounds like quite a contrast, it isn't--this is one place where anything goes. An always tolerant mix of hipsters and neighborhood barflies makes this a comfortable spot for everyone.
The Draw
Weekends are lively, to say the least. Weekday live music is on par with anything else in the city, and is even occasionally exceptional--like surprise performances by the Breeders. Regular bookings by the Fold, a club with no fixed location, deliver some of the biggest little names in local music like Eleni Mandell, the Sharp Ease and Campire Girls. The atmosphere is thick, but never overwhelming.

Cheapskates take note: The liquor store across the street makes it easy to booze it up at bargain prices, and then slip into the bar to socialize.
