My Bike Betty

Dragon Lady Lounge, 3188 N Elston Ave
b/t Belmont Ave & California Ave in Avondale

Inhibition: Small bars with names like Dragon Lady, The Cobra Lounge, and the Evil Olive intrigue me but I’m intimidated to go in alone.

Betty’s Response: Well then go to the Burger King across the street. You can get exactly what you expect.

Experience: Upon entering the lounge the bartender ask, ” Are you here for the buffet?” And as it turned out, I was. After a delicious “Jonathan Citrus Martini,” chit-chat with very nice patrons, and watching Greece and Japan battle it out on the soccer field dinner was served!

The Buffet!!! The infusion of Korean and Latino flavors…YUM!

No Burger King here baby!

What I didn’t Know: That this wonderful little place serves the most delicious Koren/Latino inspired vegan and vegetarian food. Thursdays are featured special food nights like, the 3rd Thursday Buffet night (oh and did I mention at 10pm after the buffet there’s Karaoke?).  I certainly didn’t know a place called The Dragon Lady Lounge could be so warm and inviting. A big thanks to Jonathan and Robert for a wonderful experience. See you soon 🙂

So Betty and I are out for now but as always extending to you a great big invitation to SHOW ME WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW!
