Rosa's Lounge, circa 1984, is not a 21st-century re-creation homage to family-owned blues bars - it's the real deal. When you want to hear great live blues without pretension but plenty of sincerity - this is your destination.
Order a drink and enjoy the diverse crowd that fills Rosa's to hear the likes of harmonica genius Sugar Blue, Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials and Billy Branch & the SOB. There is a cover charge and full-service bar to meet guests' needs (no drink minimum). Tony, the friendly owner who named the place after his mother who helped him open the club, still takes care of his guests every night.
