Editorial Review for BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
BB's, as the name implies, is fervently dedicated to honoring and promoting local blues. The club has played host to a Who's Who of St. Louis blues royalty, including country blues legend Henry Townsend and Howlin' Wolf sax player Oliver Sain. Monday nights often bring the Sessions Big Band, a loose consortium of brass musicians. A menu of homey favorites--burgers, pizzas, salads, sandwiches and, yes, soups--keeps patrons' stomachs as satisfied as their ears.

THE BEST LONG ISLAND ICE TEA IN TOWN AND THE BEST PLACE TO JUST RELAX AND ENJOY GOOD MUSICIANS.I LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE GOOD PEOPLE THERE. HAVE BEEN A PATRON FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS.I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN A LONG TIME AGO ABOUT B. B.'S. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF ENJOYABLE HOURS THERE. I'VE BEEN TO NEW ORLEANS AND MEMPHIS BUT B.B'S IS RIGHT IN MY BACKYARD. AL YOUNG

Pros: GREAT MUSIC

BB's is a good place to listen to some live music and have a drink or 3. I went on a Friday night at 10pm, and all of the tables by the stage were taken, so we had to listen from the bar for a bit while we waited for some seats to open up. The music was very enjoyable, and the bartenders were quick and polite. The average age of the crowd was around 30, with a few younger groups and a few older groups. There was a mix of couples and groups of friends as well. The band played until 2:30 AM, but it seemed to get a lot less crowded after 12-1 or so.

Pros: Music, Service

Cons: Seating, Location
