User Reviews for Lee's Unleaded Blues

First of all, if you want something to eat, go to one of those fake Northside Blues joints. Lee's is a real blues joint, one of the last jems of this city. I used to love going down to Lee's on Sunday Nights. Everyone got their lesson, now it's time for their blessin'. Still in their Sunday Church suites, kicking back a few and dancin' to real blues music. I really recomend you get to this place before the Mayor wants to build a new condo on the site. Then it will be gone, just like Maxwell Street, and the true Checker Board Lounge. But at least we'll have the House of Blues. Oh almost forgot they are closing, and moving Buddy Guy's too. Get to Lee's before it's gone.
Pros: Real Blues Club
Cons: A little to far south from downtown, but on Sunday Nights it's worth it

This place got a little smokey. The only thing to eat was deep fried prok rhines and the decore was old. I loved it. This place was the most original Blues joint I'd ever been to. If you truely like blues, go here. You might just see me. I think I'm buying a house down the street & hnaging here ever night.
Pros: Blues, people, the look
Cons: nothing , none, still nada

It takes forever to get a drink. The prices for the drinks change, tipping with each order does not improve the service. There is no food unless it is brought in and Vitners' chips are the soup de jour. A bag will cost you $1.00, a coke $3.00 and most other drinks $5-6. The glasses are so filled with ice you get a couple of gulps so it is even more rediculious. The size of the libation and mix of the drinks changes with each order. No consistancy. The music is average and the band I saw "Most wanted" had the heart of a real blues band...none. The energy some bands play the blues makes you feel emotional, and they did get there at times, but it was rare. All and all a very wasted evening. The owner is a fine man and very friendly.
Pros: music ok, friendly owner, small lounge
Cons: service, drink consistency, nothing to eat
