M Lounge
Jazz - Martinis
1520 S. Wabash, Chicago

October Live Jazz
The M Lounge is featuring various Jazz artists on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 7 until 11. I stopped by last night to check it out. I like the M lounge. I like its neighborhood feel. There are one or two bartenders there that should find a new line of work, but the others are better than average.
Last night’s artist was good, not great, but good. She provided a nice background for an after work drink. The M Lounge posted a sign at the front door stating that there was a two drink minimum. I am not sure if they were enforcing this or not. I am not a fan of these types of rules. It sends the wrong message. Patrons should feel welcome and comfortable. Minimums, particularly posted at the entrance, almost always lead to negative conversations. Why is there a minimum? Do sodas count? What if I buy one drink, but it costs $18? An owner should want its patrons enjoying the atmosphere, if they do they will buy. If you have to force drinks on them, you probably don’t have a return customer and thus much bigger issues.
I give Jazz Night at M Lounge 3 out of 5 stars.
Prices: $$
