Relax Lounge/Chicago
Schedule 2008

Chicago, IL (June 2008) - David Lehtman's Relax Lounge is quickly becoming the place for hip and happenen' locals and celebs. Located in Chicago's West Town� at 1450 W. Chicago Avenue, Relax Lounge is a 'feel good' spot for music, drinks and the best burgers and homemade fries this side of the Mississippi. Come early and stay late 'cause you never know who's going to stroll in and strike up a chord.

Open since July 2007, Relax Lounge aims to make you "feel better" with a prescription for happiness. As Chicago's Metromix said, "The glowing green cross logo marks the spot for this laidback hang with a rock vibe." Sit, enjoy a simple menu and sip cocktails at a 30-foot bar lit by candles in beakers, with an overhead vintage sign reading "prescriptions." Also, photographs taken by legendary music photographer Paul Natkin line the walls. While the retro DJ booth spins "Old School" classics all night long, local rockers have also played live impromptu sets.

Celeb guests have included Johnny Colt (formerly of Black Crowes and current member of Train); Gilby Clarke (Guns and Roses, Supernova, Heart); Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver, Guns and Roses, The Cult); Chris Duhon (Chicago Bulls); and Ex- Cubs great Marc Grace; amongst others.

According to Lehtman, "We have worked hard to create a place for people to just 'relax' and have a good time. There's no dress code, no cover, no pretension...ever. Our logo, the green cross, symbolizes a place you go to 'feel better.'"

There is always music --funk, soul and rock n' roll! We have DJ's and live entertainment. We also have many "secret" shows and events planned for the summer.
