Read More On Citysearch by Donesha N at Insider Pages 10/18/2010 - Great Jazz, Great Food, Good Times
I am really surprised at the reviews below. It seems people are willing to pay 75 to 100$ to go to a pop concert, but can't shell out 36$ to see jazz! I stayed in Harlem for three weeks and went to the Lenox Lounge at least 3 times a week. The jazz on the weekdays was 10$ or sometimes a 16$ drink minimum and on the weekend in the zebra room $20 plus a $16 dollar drink minimum. Where can you go a...
Read More On Citysearch sydneywright 2/17/2010 - worst treatment i've ever experienced at a restaurantHorrifying. I never make reviews, let alone bad ones. But I have to after last night. I was really excited to be going after living in Brooklyn for about a decade and not having been. My excitement soon turned to disgust after how poorly my friend and I were treated. We were there with members of the band. They treated the band also as though they were a huge inconvenience..One waitress was extre...

I've never been to the Lenox Lounge until the other day, but I can't imagine it was always this pricey...in HARLEM? Maybe they're trying to take advantage of the recent yuppification of Harlem, and jack up their prices?
Their website says that there's a $20 "cover", plus a $16 "drink minimum". That means that whether you want to drink or NOT, you must pay $36 to listen to a set of music. Bu...
Read More On Citysearch yippee 7/18/2009 - Live in New York? Go Somewhere ElseWent for "Happy Hour," but it wasn't until the bill came that we discovered that the sign advertising "$3 beers and $4 wines" did not apply to any of the actual beers and wines that we ordered. Service was slow, they ran out of everything and then we were left with a massive bill full of accounting tricks (came to about $12 a drink even during "Happy Hour")
If you are looking for a Harlem exp...
Read More On Citysearch kampalasean 5/7/2009 - Please don't go if you want a peaceful night worst service I ever gotTo be honest, I wonder why the rating doesn't have minus star, this place won't deserve even one star for me. Even I know how legend this place is, if they keep this bad shape, it'll be better to close before they damage their glory in the past. If you expect any kind of "service" at there, soon you will find that you are in the wrong place to get. They lost my credit card, call me a lier and ca...
Read More On Citysearch osakama 3/8/2009 - Unfare treatment to the employees.This is not a complaing about the food or drinks.
This is a warning to anyone who might consider working here. STAY AWAY. Management will sometimes not pay their employees on time, sometimes making them wait two extra weeks for their paychecks. They have also taken out money from paychecks.

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/10/2009 - The best place for a tasty, smooth, relaxing and joyful eveningGreat food, live Jazz music and the Zebra Room very cozy. Remembering the times when dancing, singing and having a cocktail was all good. A place where you can lounge and relax the evening away. A mature tall gentlelman wearing eye glasses, well dressed was a delight(I believe someone called him Mr.Reed). Thank you, I will visit again soon.

I had heard of many people complaining about the staff treating them awful. I wound up being overcharged both for drinks and the cover even while management new they were overcharging. They refused to remove the overcharge. The music is great but management should be investigated by the attorney general's office.

I'm orig from mississippi so I know!! The music was EXCELLENT!!! I will definitely be coming back. The only thing I didn't like was that they were out of a lot of menu items.

Rib and Seafood combo was the best I've had in a long time. I also had a side order of Mac and Cheese with Yams, very good. My girlfriend had the Rib and Crab Cake combo.
Our barmaid made us very good drinks as well. The atmosphere of this place is very cozy and retro. Its not five star, but thats the good part a...

The combos they book are talented, the decor is art deco at its finest, and the crowd a groovy mixture of locals, foreign tourists, students, and the musically devoted from all o...
Read More On Citysearch bazzers 6/5/2004 - good music & good food, but...
Absolutely they serves good music. I don't think no one can disagree. They also have good, down-to-earth, home style foods. Which I really like. Drinks are reasonable. BUT the weakest point for this lounge is probably the quality of people who work there. Bartenders and Barmaids are good, but I am not sure (really not sure) about the staff in the lounge (back room; room w/ piano). They are...
