If this club worked for Bowie and Clapton, it'll do you just fine. Buddy Guy, a hero to Clapton, plays at his club in January but don't let that stop you from enjoying local and national musicians performing seven nights a week.
Don't be shy because of the club's exterior - it's polished inside and more than a few bros and tourists fill the seats along with lifelong lovers of the blues. Peruse the mellow blues joint's calendar online and you'll see it jam-packed with great artists. Enjoy New-Orleans-inspired food and great music with free, all-ages acoustic shows, too.
Fascinating memorabilia dot the walls of the cavernous room while pool tables and a Southern kitchen serving po' boys and jambalaya keep patrons satisfied. Despite its touristy reputation, it's a great place to see live blues in comfort.
