This is a cozy, fun, and authentic Chicago blues bar. Drinks are cheap, service is good, and the music is GREAT! Real, old school Chicago blues. Get there by 9 or earlier to get a seat up front. $10 cover. Sure, the bathrooms are bad, the seating and decor is old, but that's the charm. House of Blues this ain't.

Coming from abroad, I will miss the nights I spent there. From Magic Slim and L.V. Banks in the 90s, to John Primer and the jam nights in recent years. It was a friendly place with great music. Wish it will stay open. Thanks for the memories, I wear your T-shirts all the time!

Without a doubt one of the coolest blues dives in the world. Cheap entry, great takers every weekend, open late, and just an all around good time. Great taco joint next door too!

What a cozy hole in the wall! First off, great selection of drinks. Ok, now, seating is obviously limited, but the crowd is cool and the atmosphere is warm. The little stage and close quarters make shows pretty intimate, which is great because blues is supposed to be that. The sound was great, the musicians were stellar. You can look up on their website the different live acts they have throughout the week. Overall, a must visit for anyone in town.

Had an amazing time seeing John Primer and The Real Deal Blues Band last Saturday! The venue is small and intimate, giving you a unique sense of community. Despite being crowded, the service was great and we were never without water and drinks. It was worth it to show up early. Thanks for hosting a wonderful date night! (Wish I had better quality pictures, but I was distracted by the music, haha..)

As authentic as it gets! I was lucky enough to meet a local who told me about the charm of this bar, where the decor has not changed and neither has the LIVE music... authentic Chicago town blues 💙 what a great introduction to the musical heritage and talents of this city!

Fantastic place with a great atmosphere. People from all walks of life listening to amazing blues

Great place, great music and great vibe. We were there for an awesome show, and despite the place being packed woth people, the bartender was great and the atmosphere was great.

Great blues bar with local players and singers. If you want to take some beer and listen to good music.

Went there Saturday 6/23. Music starts around 9:30pm. The place doesn't get crowded until between 10 or 11. I recommend getting there early for seats so you dont have to stand behind there. Gets a little hot once it gets too crowded.

I've always enjoyed dive bars and this is one of the great ones. I went there on a Sunday night and it cost $7 to get in. The band played several sets and it was terrific Blues. Great value for the $$ spent. Honestly the bar felt like a community. Someone came in for their birthday and the whole bar sang to him and shared in his celebration. The wait staff and bartenders were very nice but by no means would this be considered upscale. I found the drinks to be reasonably priced. I do not know if they serve food because I had come from dinner. There is limited street parking. Would highly recommend public transport or ride sharing.

Looks like a dive bar but feels like a fine dine. Great place to take your date after dinner for couple of drinks and listen to the blues train. Highly recommend place to take a detour if you haven’t planned for this. I was tired, and the bartender offering me a cup of coffee. I like that gesture. 4.5/5 is the perfect. Could have been 5/5 if they had my Bombay sapphire martini ;). Great place again, highly recommended.

Great time tonight. Great music, friendly crowd. Very attentive staff. Other reviews complain about the bathrooms being bad... The ladies in our party said they were fine. Will definitely be back. We liked it better than Rosa's.
