The Narrow Lounge

The Narrow Lounge on Main Street is a well hidden gem making it an ultra hip bar known mostly to the Main street locals. From the outside, only a small red light and door backing onto an auto repair parking lot marks this hipster bar.

Following the stairs down to the basement is a long and narrow lounge (ah, yes, apt name). There’s a bar on one side and tables on the other.

The Narrow Lounge gets very busy on the weekends as people back into this small space. A small menu serves up sufficient means for a meal and all throughout the week, djs spin music to create a lougey ambience.
