The Blind Lemon

MOUNT ADAMS. Cozy, warm, and adorned with album sleeves and model trains, this venerable pub is appreciated by locals for its pleasant patio (with a firepit) and stellar lineup of local jazz, acoustic, and blues musicians every night of the week. Having survived the Mount Adams nightlife scene for over forty years, the establishment pleases with comfortable environs, friendly staff (the barman has been here since 1971), and occasional specials on signature cocktails. Jimmy Buffett, among other well-known names, played here early in his career, so make sure to stop by and catch the next big thing.
