B.B. King's Blues Club

B.B. King is smiling down on Decatur Street these days, thanks to the opening of the fifth club to bear his name in New Orleans. The legacy of the late great blues legend inspires the soulful happenings in the space that formerly housed Margaritaville across from the French Market. The renovated space, which features five bars, outside seating on Decatur and a bank of windows overlooking the market, is as much a restaurant as it is a club. A menu of Southern favorites, including outstanding fall-off-the-bone ribs, keeps company with New Orleans dishes including jambalaya pasta and gumbo yaya. Beginning in April 2016, the restaurant will launch a Zydeco Brunch on Saturday and a Blues Brunch on Sunday from 10AM-2PM.
