Biscuits and Blues

Downtown / Financial District, San Francisco –

A Southern-style restaurant in the heart of Northern California’s biggest metropolis, Biscuits and Blues may be a bit of a dichotomy, but it’s also the city’s top spot for live blues EVERY DAMN NIGHT, SON!

Giant colorful paintings, photographs of renowned musicians, and a big neon “Blues” sign adorn the entryway, while a staircase leads down to a room shrouded in darkness apart from the stage, where both local and bigger-name touring acts deliver their gritty brand of music.

Customers who pony up for a meal enjoy the best seats in front of the low stage – not to mention the fat plates of jambalaya, baby back ribs, and brisket – while larger groups of blues lovers take over the booths lining the sides of the room.

Luckily, thanks to the venue’s open layout and intimate size, even the budget-minded college kids and European tourists sipping ice water and nursing beers in back don’t miss much.

The blues club is not the only reason crowds flock to B&B, however – there’s also the upstairs Union Room, a dining space featuring the same menu and just as much blues paraphernalia, as well as a lineup of lesser known acts in a variety of genres that perform throughout the week.

For anyone wishing to escape the fast-paced SF jungle in favor of a place where best friends steal wives, dogs die young, and momma don’t love you no more, it doesn’t get any better than Biscuits and Blues.
