“ Papa Legba Lounge was a delightful surprise! We were just looking to find a cool, nearby spot to grab a nice cocktail. Not only did we find well made and delicious cocktails, the decor and environment was thoughtful and the theme was bonus. They have amazing pictures of legends on the walls and only play music of passed legend artists. The owner of Legba Lounge happened to be sitting behind us to and shared the history and why he created the lounge. We ordered food which was super delicious.
