Vaughan's Lounge

Bar · Bywater

"Vaughan’s is a joy, guaranteed to deliver cheap drinks, good music, and the kind of conviviality that you hope for when stumbling into a dive bar. If you’re lucky there will be a pot of delicious red beans and rice in the back, which customers are welcome to scoop for free. Don’t miss brass-shaking music from Cory Henry and the Treme Funktet every Thursday at 11." - Eater Staff, Beth D'Addono
