Rate and Write a Review The SceneThis historic bar and jazz club is a study in unlikely harmonies. Sweatshirted locals and earnest college students sip old man-style cocktails to the gentle din of "Martin" reruns and contemporary R&B jukebox hits at the time-scarred front bar. But as the sunlight fades and the restored fin-bladed light towers bathe the Sunday best-dressed denizens in full deco splendor, it's not hard to imagine the club's heyday, when Billie Holiday held court in the Zebra Room. A renovation restored the beautiful tiled floor and mirrors of the oft-filmed art-deco interior.The DrawA Cab Calloway-elegant host greets guests and then ushers them into the Zebra Room to catch the buffet and show. With weekend jazz and Monday jam sessions continuing as ever before, the future of the Lenox Lounge seems safely assured.
