Best of Boston
1998 Best Scene, Jazz
Lizard Lounge
As the new host to The Fringe’s (Best Jazz Band) Monday night jams— and occasionally to delights from the free-form experimental acid-jazz group Club d’Elf (Best Cutting-Edge Band)— this lounge has the coolest in-the-round setting. Owing partly to a respectable selection of booze and excellent vibes, the unassuming Lizard Lounge has slithered to the top.
