Charlie Love and his band are amazing! $5 mixed drinks and REAL blues . You can't beat it. I'll definitely be back!

Ethan Schaeffer

I have such affection for this place. I've been coming here, when I'm in town , for over 20 years. Every time, the music 's good. Pick a shirt on your way out. They're beautiful.

Chris Richardson

An2 drink minimum is a small price to pay for some cool Chicago blues ! Hey, isn’t this why you can’t to the Windy City ! Drinks are reasonably priced and a decent pour. Don’t forget to tip the band!

Chris Richardson

There is a $10 cover charge and a 2 drink minimum, a bargain for the fun authentic blues in this joint. Be prepared to sit next to a stranger as they pack patrons in this small but colorful venue.

Julie Foster McCoy

Love coming here to see the authentic , local bands , and chat with the sassy bar staff . If you expect to or want to sit, arrive during the first set. This place is one of my absolute favorites!

Brad Hager

Great place to listen to GOOD, live blues music . Cover charge to get in but worth it. Small place with a dance floor right in front of the band. Nice cold beer .

Luciana Vianna

The music was amazing... great band with great singers ... totally worth it!

Kevin M. McNally, CMP

You know that feeling when your foot is tapping, your smile is wide and the beverages are smooth without the two O's. That's the Blues . Great old school cool venue to connect with your soul.

Chicago Blues woman Grana ' Lousie sings soulfully at this club -- you can tell how deeply she feels the meaning of the music by watching the expression on her face as she sings.

Go early for a table, place fills up later and it can be really a packed standing room crowd

Bring a pen to write on the walls of the bathroom , and then admire the foreign currency on the wall of the back bar .
