Cosmo Lounge is easy to miss, sharing the top floor of Chief Ike’s Mambo Lounge. Formerly known as Chaos (the door out front still bears this moniker). Cosmo is distinctively more laid back than it’s downstairs dancing neighbor with a nice mix of cheap booze, cool people and a low-key environment. There’s usually a nice assortment of music playing from rock to techno, as well as a pool table and a “lounge” area (otherwise known by its informal name… “couches”).
