The Welcome Back Lounge

"DJs, a bus turned into a bar, plates of loaded tater tots served at picnic tables on the Astroturf back lawn—Welcome Back Lounge has it all. Inside, people crowd the retro bar—with a blue checked floor and sleek wood bar straight out of the '70s, plus a light-up bingo board that's put to good use on Monday nights—for cans of Maplewood Pulaski Pils served in bright yellow koozies. Outside, they pack picnic tables to enjoy patty melts and a Campfire Lemonade with mezcal and Four Roses. Whether you’re “enjoying” some Jello shots or snacking on mini corn dogs, it’s safe to say you’re doing so at one of the more unique (and raucous) bars in the neighborhood." - sarah freeman, john ringor
