House Of Blues Restaurant & Bar

House of Blues is absolutely phenomenal. I've been here for Breakfast and for Post-Show drinks and this place is phenomenal. The food is incredible (I highly recommend the chicken and waffles) and so are the drinks (espresso martini is a 10/10). They are also one of the few places I've been to that has Blackened Whiskey and I'm so appreciative of it since it's my favorite whiskey and I was so happy to have it in an old fashioned. The service is great and even with the place getting crowded I still feel like they are quite fast and provide excellent service both in the restaurant and in the bar.

House of Blues venue has a mosh pit ( that's for SRO tickets) and VIP seating above it. I was lucky and got to sit in the ADA section without any hassle at all! It's on what might be considered the mezzanine section between a large VIP section and a much smaller section. Everyone was kind and accommodating.

Santana was fantastic. VIP tables are the way to go rather than standing room. Read all the fine print. Tables are sold as a package for 2 or 4, and some include dinner and some a bottle of wine. You get a badge. However, since it is a couple, you only get one pin and bag souvenir per couple! My bad. I went with my brother and he paid me for his ticket but we could only get the one. Also, we did not drink wine, and I didn't realize we didn't have to get it. There was no one to even give it to, so yeah, 50.00 or so extra. However, our waitress was sweet about it and even brought us a little box of sweets. I don't even feel too bad. The band was worth it! I would go here again. It is small enough to see well with high energy and NO smoke. Well done.

I had lunch here and it was PERFECTLY PERFECT! David was my server and he was AMAZING. Thank you so much for the tour of the establishment as well as impeccable service. I had Cajun chicken pasta and key lime pie. Everything was delicious and presented nicely. The restaurant decor looked and felt like a blues restaurant. BUT I just can’t understand how a blues restaurant doesn’t play the blues. All I heard playing was pop and 80’s popish music. A MAJOR PART of the experience of dining in an establishment such as this is hearing and feeling the authenticity of the blues music. I specifically chose this eatery because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BLUES. It may not be important to other patrons BUT it may be. PLEASE REPLACE YOUR POP MUSIC with the blues. It really is the ONLY THING MISSING.

Fantastic venue for live shows! I would think most seats are going to make you feel like it’s an intimate show. The entrance and exit is a bit tight, so be prepared to be patient. Although I didn’t partake, there were bars on both floors. I wish there were a HoB somewhere close to me. I’d be going a lot.
