Editorial Review for B.L.U.E.S. – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
One of the most wonderfully intimate blues clubs on the North Side presents live music of only one variety 365 days a year, as it has since 1979. Now the neighborhood teems with young moneyed professionals, and there's plenty of nearby competition for the blues buck, but B.L.U.E.S. still thrives. There's a delightfully relaxed and friendly feel to the spot, with a long bar running along the right side and some seating on a riser to the left.
The Draw
The sound system gets the job done quite nicely, though more than one pianist has been known to gripe about an old upright that goes out of tune every now and then. Drink prices and covers are surprisingly inexpensive, and service is great. Since street parking is virtually nonexistent on Fridays and Saturdays, the club offers weekend valet service.

When to GoArriving early on the weekends is the only way to score a bar stool, but there's usually plenty of elbow room during the week, and you're liable to bump into your favorite blues artist enjoying a drink on his or her off-night.
