B.B. King's Blues Club, Nashville

If you need to get that country twang out of your head, a good dose of the Memphis blues will do it. B. B. King’s Blues Club is a nice, intimate place to start for a night of the blues, with some R&B, jazz, and rock 'n roll acts for good measure. The club is a satellite of King’s original Beale Street club, and although most of the entertainment is local or regional, a nationally-known performer is featured about twice a month.

The venue also offers a variety of the South's most delicious comfort foods influenced by flavors from New Orleans all the way to the Mississippi Delta, including authentic Memphis-style barbecue. Open daily for lunch, dinner and late-night meals, it is not nearly as crowded as some of the other music venues in Nashville, so you can eat and actually carry on a conversation while enjoying the iconic décor.
