Ethel's Lounge
114 King St N
114 king street north just south of wlu, 725-2361. "no live entertainment; one tv." ethel's serves up mexican and roadhouse fare in a cool retro-chrome-diner atmosphere. don't be intimidated by the surly-sounding menu; the staff and patrons here tend to be a personable, if outlandish, bunch. entrees $5-10.
