Editorial Review for BB King's Blues Club – by Matt MacDonald
The Scene
Like an authentic Southern blues battle, the roster of steely-eyed guitar slingers, harp blowers and "she done me wrong" singers is always impressive. The club itself is three stories high, the second and third floors ending in balconies with a clear view of the first floor stage from just about anywhere. A complete restaurant pulses beneath the club's neon-lit surface, offering authentic Creole dishes and a popular gospel brunch on Sundays.
The Draw
You might assume that tourists leaving Universal Studios would be inclined to stop in and check out the ruckus, but you'd be wrong. Newcomers can feel at ease in the club's fluorescent blue haze, social types share the same air as the dating crowd, and blues musicians congregate to gaze enviously or pick up a few tricks.

Not surprising. My band, ZEN BOOGIE has played there several times over the last five years, and I have to tell you the sense was from our on stage experience to our fans enjoyment of coming out to see us play there, the place was getting worse and worse. (You can treat the band bad, but don't mess with our fans!) Over priced (after you pay $15 to park at Citywalk and another 15 to get in the door), poor service, and personally, I lost money when the video we paid them to make never came out the last time we played there and the club never repaid me for the money given them in advance. So bad feelings all around. (To try to "make amends", they booked us for May 10th to video again. Then the place closes April 30th... You have to laugh.) ZEN BOOGIE has re-booked itself at The Palmer Room for the following Saturday night, May 17th in West LA. You can see our My Space page at myspace/zenboogie

I called their main number and got a referral # 818 777-1000 and was told it was allover. Poor management for sure. The operator said they may relocate. I guess to poor service and inconistant food finally caught up with them. Sad to see this happen under the name of the great BB King. May the blues live on forever.
