Lights Out at Lakeside Lounge

By DANIEL MAURER

City Room hit Lakeside Lounge last night for the beloved bar’s swan song. Or swan songs, rather: Patti Smith’s guitarist Lenny Kaye sang Van Morrison’s “Gloria,” and there were also covers of “Now I Wanna Be Your Dog” (performed by Charlene McPherson), “I Don’t Wanna Hang Up My Rock ’n’ Roll Shoes” (with Jimbo Mathus, formerly of the Squirrel Nut Zippers), and the Stones song, “Sway” (rendered by Chip Robinson). “This bar is for musicians and the people who like to hang around them,” said Mr. Kaye. “We’re going to miss this joint.”
