Named after the celebrated "king of the blues" B.B.King and ideally situated in bustling Times Square, is a space that hosts musical talent from blues, jazz, and hip-hop to funk, blue grass and even heavy metal.There is clear viewing access to the performance while guests are enjoying food and drinks or dancing. The dim lighting sets the mood for a night out listening to music though the latest sound and video equipment. The long bar with "B.B. King" lit up above it is a tribute to the legendary artist. There have been notable people who have performed here including Gloria Gaynor, Patti Austin, and B.B. King Himself. Lucille's Grill is a bar located within the B.B. King Blue's Club and was named after the late BB king's beloved guitar.

New York Local Expert
- Live Music: "Arrive early to grab a seat in the balcony for optimum viewing; no cover and ticketed options nightly so check website."
- Jazz & Blues Clubs: "Visit for their Sunday, all-you-can-eat buffet, with everything from grits to Buttermilk biscuits as a side to your soulful music."
- Best for Live Music, Jazz & Blues Clubs Because: THE PLACE to catch new musical talent and listen to live musicians; three stages, 15-20 bands, seven nights a week.
