B. B. King's Blues Club
- July 5, 2001
- Rated 3 of 5 by
Mchaela from Minneapolis, Minnesota
Everything from local to legendary blues performers play at B.B. King's. The club feel's old fashioned with its wood and smoke. The huge stage (room for large bands) is the focal point of the joint with B.B. Kings's guitar, Lucille, hanging over it. They serve lunch and dinner with such Southern fare as gumbo, ribs and catfish. Its mostly full of tourists, but if you're lucky, you will get to hear some great music. My friends and I sat next to the stage and watched the dancers. There was a large group of middle-aged people partying next to us who danced most of the night. They really knew how to move! Between flirting with the wait staff and the band, we managed to have a great time!

If the club seems like a low-scale version of Hard Rock Cafe, please forgive it -- the music WILL insist that you forgive it. The food is OK, nothing spectacular, but the bands are rockin', and the crowd spontaneous and fun.

You don't go to B.B. King's place for the food. Although it was an honest attempt at Cajun cuisine, I felt it was a little overpriced. Of course, the main events are the nightly blues acts. When I went there was a great band with a mixture of European and American performers. It was great live music and they had the crowd dancing in just a few moments. B.B. King himself has even been spotted in the club occassionally and, if you're lucky, might do a few tunes for the crowd.
