Type: Bar, Live Music

10Best Says

The acts that perform at Orlando's House of Blues run the gamut from metal to folk, rock to pop, country to – of course – blues and everything in between (and let's not even talk about its Sunday Gospel Brunch). HOB is an all-around incredible venue – wonderful sound, great atmosphere and home to the largest musical folk art collection in the world. Balcony seats afford birds-eye views but reasonable design – there are higher and lower portions on the first floor for better vantage points if you're not one for the proper "floor section" fray – are easily staked out. The sound is solid, as are the pours at the bar.

EXPERT TIPS BY: A.D. Thompson
Orlando Local Expert

Live Music: "Wanna stake out a great spot (especially if you're vertically challenged like me)? Come early. I like the rail by the first-floor bar. It's elevated, allows for leaning and gives you a place to set down a bag, beer or both."

Best for Live Music Because: Great sound? Check. Diverse acts? Check. Chuck in the phenomenal folk art, indoor/outdoor bars and Downtown Disney location and HOB is a five-way winner.
