When most folks think of live music in Berwyn, the Harlem Avenue Lounge is the first place that comes to mind. Come on the weekends, and you're certain to find members from Buddy Guy's or Koko Taylor's bands sitting in with the house band. Other local blues stars, such as Willie Kent and the Gents or Studebaker John and the Hawks, have also been known to play here. And if you're an aspiring artist, Thursday is your night as Big Ray hosts an open-mic jam. It's Harlem's most popular night, and you never know who'll show up on stage. The bar itself is not much to look at, with its worn furniture, dimly lit space and small quarters, but what happens on that tiny stage keeps the fans coming back for more. -- Audarshia Townsend
