About B.B. King Blues Club & Grill - New Orleans
Welcome to B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in the heart of New Orleans’ historic French Quarter. Located at 1104 Decatur St in the Storyville area, this live blues club and restaurant sits on the site of the former Storyville Music Hall and opened as B.B. King’s Blues Club in 2015 after Margaritaville vacated the space. The venue underwent renovations in 2016–2017, expanding capacity to just over 400 guests and introducing the Lucille Lounge, a VIP space with enhanced sightlines for an intimate concert experience. If you’re aiming to catch a great blues show with easy access and solid dining, you’ve found a reliable friend in the business. We’ve got you covered with practical details, nearby lodging, and dining options to make your night smooth from start to finish.
