Super over priced… long long break for music and poor quality … unfriendly vibe!! Don’t come here just because it’s called Chicago blues because it’s not it’s a scam! Full review by uandcMinneapolis

Busy, intimate, lively blues club. Music was fantastic. $20 per head entry but well worth it. Small table which you share with your neighbours. Music ranges from blues favourites to nerdy stuff. Mus… Full review by MGJRJ
Hi, we are in our late 60's and love good electric blues music. Can you recommend this place? Would prefer if food was available as well and also if we could reserve a table. Don't mind paying extra for a table. Also would prefer if the place is definitely non-smoking? How does this fit in? We would be going in early July 2020. Thanks Jimbo

We liked the place. It is small and narrow. Bar on the left as you enter and runs front to back. Tables by the windowsill, stage is in the rear and tight. Cover charge was $10. We got there about when they opened to get a bar seat. If you wait till the band is starting it could be SRO. It does get crowded.
How early do you need to get there to ensure a seat on a Wednesday night?
A:
It didn’t start to fill up until after 9.00 when we were there and that was a Friday night so you should be fine anytime up to then. It’s a great night out with really good blues

Probably around 9pm to be sure however main acts don’t start until probably 10:30pm. Depending on how late you intend to stay would decide when you get there. There is usually people coming and going so you will find a seat within half hour of arriving. As a couple we shared a table with another couple.
What time would you suggest to get there to guarantee a table? (Do people line up outside prior to 8pm?) thanks!!
A:
It’ so cute and small place. There is a circulation in the place. We were 5 and we don’t want to sit down for dance. Within 10-20 min you can find a place to sit if you need.
