Lamplighter Lounge

It might be a bit of a haul to get to this joint, but the suburban dive bar is worth it. Sandwiched between a Best Buy and a Panera Bread, the Lamplighter draws in patrons with a giant, scripted neon blue sign that’s almost as large as the building itself. This is a true regulars bar, so be prepared for some stares and (potentially) the third degree. However, patrons quickly warm up and welcome you into the club, whether you’re interested in doing your laundry or playing chess.
