Don Diego and Razz

This popular neighborhood bar and live music venue is located in a busy strip shopping mall in Oak Lawn, sandwiched between a Chinese restaurant and a doughnut shop, just a few doors down from a convenience store and a novelty sex shop. So the sidewalk patio out front makes for an interesting perch for late-night people-watching. Most of the art on the walls features framed record albums by artists ranging from Elton John to Nancy Sinatra, and cozy two-person booths make for a great place for an intimate conversation, but the real appeal of the place seems to be the interaction between Alexandre's bartenders and the regulars at the full bar, which features all-day happy hours on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, as well as $3 Long Island iced teas all-day every day. Plus, the bar features live music every night but Monday.
