An invention for a tailgate lounge provides a portable and convenient means for seating for the tailgate of a vehicle. The tailgate lounge includes: a foldable bench, to seat to provide seating for the users; a collapsible awning, to protect the user from inclement weather as well as direct sunlight; and tailgate clips to attach and secure the tailgate lounge onto a vehicle. The foldable bench includes a seat, a reclining backrest, and a variable angular locking mechanism. The seat provides a sitting surface for the user while the backrest provides support. The variable angular locking mechanism allows the backrest to be secured at pre-determined angles to the seat. The tailgate lounge is able to be arranged in two primary configurations: a collapsed configuration for storage and transportation and an expanded configuration to provide additional seating.
