"If your date loves live music and has “huge cocktail nerd” in their Instagram bio, this West Town bar with a stage in the back has you covered. Their menu has a wide range of tasty cocktails—classics, exclusive concoctions, and a few that have been resurrected from obscurity. Lemon also features a rotation of jazz combos, DJ sets, and maybe the next big local rock band. The large room decked out in purple curtains has plenty of tables and some booths by the stage, but their good sound system guarantees that you can enjoy the jams wherever." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
