Leopard Lounge -
The Leaopard Lounge, a Bucktown institution, is a prime destination for rockabillies looking to recapture a little of that faded 50's glamour. The kicky decor, including leopard-spotted upholstery, meshes perfectly with the crowd, which is casual but not overtly so. Slobby dressers are likely to be turned away at the door. Live music plays on Tuesdays and Thursdays, sometimes with no cover. Drinks are a little pricey for the venue, but if you want to live the high life, sometimes you need to pay the price. Show up early on a cold winter night to get a spot by the fireplace - you won't regret it.
