B.L.U.E.S
B.L.U.E.S Review
The best part about B.L.U.E.S. is that there isn't a bad seat in the joint. The worst part? The crowds—arrive early if you want to score a seat. Narrow and intimate, the jam-packed North Side club has attracted the best in local talent since it opened in 1979. Big names such as Son Seals, Otis Rush, Jimmy Johnson, and Magic Slim have all played here.
