Tee Dee's Lounge

My newly 21 year old son and I had so much fun! We celebrated my son's 21st birthday with the Tee Dee crew, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The live blues music was phenomenal—it set such a great vibe for the evening. We also loved the cocktails, and the staff was amazing, especially how welcoming everyone was from the moment we walked in. It was a wonderful surprise when TeeDee gave my son a birthday shout-out; he absolutely loved that. The whole experience was warm, relaxed, and so much fun. A birthday celebration that was special and memorable.

Complete highlight of our trip! This was a diamond in the rough and pure GEM of authenticity and REAL JAZZ that fills your soul and makes ur whole body vibe! Family owned over 40 years they told the crowd! Monday nights and CASH ONLY! Get there early for a seat, bring a small portable fan. It’s warm in there! I’d go back a million times!

A great local place for down home Blues from Mr Tee Dee Young. Inductees into the BlueGrass Music Hall of Fame. Every Monday Night he performs and a jam session evolves. No 2 weeks are alike. A small lounge environment with a full bar. Fried fish plates available. If your in Lexington for a Monday evening, you won't be disappointed if you truly enjoy real Blues music. A cover but no minimum item requirement or full dress code.

If you appreciate the blues, raw talent, and energetic, safe and respectful atmosphere- then Tee Dees on a Monday night has to be on your list of things to experience in Lexington. A small admission price grants you access to a Blues experience from an internationally acclaimed, award-winning blues artist. Tee Dee Young is legendary across the globe, and his live local music experience is one of the best kept secrets in the Bluegrass. But the secrets out, especially considering Tee Dee’s recent induction into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. Stop in to experience, amazing music, tons of audience interaction, and a supportive community of regular attendees comprised of the kindest, most talented individuals from across the State. A recently revamped outdoor patio area provides a ton of extra space, and provides a nice spot to cool down from a moment after burning up the dance floor. This has been a regular part of my Lexington Life for over a decade- and is always a mind-blowing experience to friends and family who join me. This is one experience I can truly say will NEVER LET YOU DOWN.

Absolutely the best straight up club for live music downtown. Monday nights are awesome when TeeDee and his band take the stage you’ll get a little jazz, a little blues and a whole lotta fun!

Absolutely incredible! If you like jazz and blues, this place is for you. Tee Dee and the band are amazing! Tee Dee's talent attracts more talent and you just don't know who is going to walk up on the stage. Such a refreshment for the soul! I feel very fortunate to be living in Lexington and be able to come here often. Don't let the fact that it's on Monday nights only. Go to Tee Dee's and learn that Mondays are not bad anymore. Don't forget to bring cash. Cover and drink are cash only.

Some friends and I visited about 20 yrs ago from Illinois. I'm glad to see Tee Dee's is still rocking it. Good soulful music is hard to come by. A night to remember good times. About time to get there again!

My home town Friend it happen for himself. Going through school I gave it 2nd thought. But too see my Classmate Ruse too the Top. I’m extremely Proud of Him. From little old neighborhood called pleasant green or Davis bottom. I frequent his place when I can. And He Does his Thang.😊

It's a wonderful jazz/blues atmosphere. So much fun. Monday is open mic night and bands perform

Best Monday night in Lexington. Seriously, get there by 8, pay the $10 cover and plan to stay until they close. A wonderfully entertaining night of music, merriment and inclusive camaraderie. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Shame the review with 3 stars. ‍

What an unforgettable experience! Top notch musicians in an intimate and welcoming setting. Tee Dee is a legend, but welcomes everybody to his stage because "You never know!" Obviously, many musicians are regulars and WOW are they good! I'll never go anywhere else if I'm in town on Monday night!

Went to Tee Dees for a Creative Mornings event. It was the first time I had been to this Blues Club, owned by our local blues musician Tee Dee Young. How many times I've passed it. A chat with Tee Dee himself, the host for this month's CM, I learned that it's the place to be for Blues on Monday night's at 8 PM. He told me you never know who might show up to entertain. Will have to make a point of going soon.

Went there on a Monday night after being recommended by a local resident for good music. What an amazing experience. $1 cover charge and $4 Budweiser's make it a great place for an affordable night and awesome music. The crowd is pretty eclectic but (at least at the time that I went) mostly older (over 65). That being said if your 25 and you enjoy good music you should still go. If I lived in area I would be a regular

We went last night (Monday) based on the Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. Music started at 8:30 ish and things were cranking by 9. Tee Dee is enormously talented and a generous entertainer. We saw a bunch of guests play and sing with the really great house band. Blues, some jazz and a bit of pop. Everyone was fantastic. We got the fried fish dinner for $10 and that was fabulous too. We will be back.

It was our first time to TeeDees. He has a huge reputation in Lexington for his musicianship and skills so we knew it would be great entertainment. We watched and listened to a few jazz videos before the show is this an acceptable substitute we drank and played pool. Too much fun. Then the music started!!! It was only a $1 donation at the door.... it needs to be $10 a head is this an acceptable substitute the music was phenomenal!!' Absolutely worth every penny. They pass the tip jar so tip them well because again, this is a show well worth it! It's a cash only bar.

Very fun blues atmosphere, we really enjoyed the mom and pop feel of the place and dancing going on. Not a great variety of beers (your basic Bud, Miller bottles, etc), but they do have basic mixed drinks ($7), so come drunk and with a full belly for the music!

Monday nights starting at 10pm. The very best entertainment experience in Lexington and just a $1 cover, no minimum. This has been happening for 30 years. I have been living in Lexington for almost 20 years. And I never knew this existed? Shame on me.

Holy cannoli!!!!! AMAZING AMAZING MUSIC!!!! We came here, looking for music and definitely got much more then we bargained for! Great musicians and awesome people. They also had chicken wings in the back, but we didn't get any- only because we were full. Best advice? Being cash, no cc taken. If you are a blues person, go here. Now!!! I'm from Milwaukee and this place rivaled our love music!!

Kingston Mines has nothing on Tee Dee's. He and his band have open house every Monday night and everyone's invited- especially if you can get up there and sing, add a harmonica, or take a turn on the drums. You never know what you'll see, but it's great every single time. Hendrix could have learned a trick or two from Tee Dee.

What an amazing atmosphere and outstanding music! Went out for my birthday with a group of friends, who have not been here before. At the end of the evening they noted that this is a "hidden gem" and we are most certainly returning soon. Tee Dee is extremely talented and his son is a ridiculously good musician too. The staff and Tee Dee himself were welcoming and accommodating. The caliber of musicians shines and makes a pretty simple space, into a hell of a party and best place to be on a Monday or any other evening! For a second I forgot that I am in Kentucky, but to a wonderful place where jazz and blues flourish. Thank you!!

Amazing atmosphere. A real cultural experience. A welcome respite from my white, middle class world. Even has cigarette smoke.
