"Antone’s has a little of everything, but they’re historically a blues venue—the type of place that hosted B.B. King and Muddy Waters back in the day. Ticket prices can run a bit high (John Oates will charge you $65 for a seat), and you’ll have to battle Downtown street parking, but this is still a spot worth checking out. The friendly bartenders will sell you one of Antone’s well-known sub sandwiches when you don’t want to pay Eddie V’s steakhouse prices next door. And if you’re feeling brave after the show ends, Dirty Sixth Street is one block over. " - matthew jacobs
