On the Grid : B.L.U.E.S. Bar

"BL.U.E.S. is as authentic as Chicago Blues music gets. You can catch a live show at this cozy, intimate venue every night of the week. They host both obscure acts and legends like Vance "Guitar" Kelly, but focus primarily on local talent. This dark, moody venue is dimly lit by strands of Christmas lights, revealing walls that are covered in the history of Blues and Chicago icons. Small tables bring you up close and personal with others patrons, one of whom might be a Blues artist having a drink on their day off. B.L.U.E.S is overflowing with old-school Chicago charm, and the friendly and attentive staff makes sure to keep your drinks full while you enjoy the show." - Stephen Merlo
