Rick Lyon is more than a man; he is a gentle feeling personified in the form of a lounge singer with a tip jar. When you've had a long week and need to get a decent buzz going in a dimly lit room that you can imagine your parents falling in love in, you need some Rick.
On Friday and Saturday nights at the Imperial House next to Balboa Park, a man who looks like the junior high history teacher you've all had, plays covers of classic rock songs that all draw the same emotional response. His soft rich tones and his "it's going to be alright" swaying body language are always there when you need it. You can tell Rick Lyon what song to play, but he already knows what you need, and he already knows how you need to hear it.
Weeks after checking out Rick's set, you will probably talk to your daring, unique friends about your experience. You will probably ask, "Have you seen The Lyon?" If they have, they won't have to respond.
If you go back to Imperial House it will feel the same, and the bartenders will display the skill that all great bartenders master who are worthy of working a Rick Lyon scored venue. They make you feel like they remember you even when you know they don't.
