Taboo Lounge’s location and appearance (a dark exterior and heavy wooden front door) is enough to give anyone pause. But if you take the plunge, you’ll find that this lounge is an awesome, chilled-out space with an ultra-friendly staff and a rotating schedule of art shows, karaoke, and live music. The Atmosphere: Taboo Lounge is an eclectic speakeasy with an eye for art. There are Grecian statues near the front entrance, a stained-glass window in the back, and local artists’ work blanketing the walls in between. The main space features exposed brick, ample seating, a well-lit bar area, and a healthy sized stage.
