The Big Easy, Social and Pleasure Club

Been 20 years or so since I've here. Man, I've been missing out on a great Blues scene. Still the same awesome place. Today was the annual Blues for Food food drive and fund raiser. Great and wonderful crowd opening their hearts and having a fun time for a great cause. I'm not going to wait until next to return. Check the calendar online for events and musicians. This is a must visit in Houston.

I love The Big Easy! John Calderon is awesome! Service at the bar is always on point. And great crowd and vibe. But the music… The music is the best!

This is a mixed bag for me, I love "dives" this is definitely one! The good: the Band (Los Souldees) was Fantastik! The drinks were strong, but couldn't get a read on the bartenders, half the time there was only one, sometimes 2, the lady was definitely nicer than the guy, but neither were really welcoming (maybe because we're not regulars?) We visit bars all over the World (literally) and this just didn't feel good. On the positive note, the drinks were cheap and again strong, so win some lose some 😆 Lastly, the music (when the Band is playing) is LOUD, so much to the point where I saw several (I assume regulars) with earplugs... it's such a small venue, the Band is great, no need to blast the music like that, it also distorted the sound on those old JBLs. Still give it 4 stars, because it stays true to its roots in being a dive with cheap, strong drinks and good entertainment ✌🏽

An excellent live blues experience within a dive bar ambiance! The bartenders are friendly and make some great New Orleans style cocktails. If you enjoy live music and some good company, I highly recommend stopping by for a drink and some good times!

Just a fun all around place to be if you like live blues, zydeco, and other music. Its not a big place, but gives you the old spot feeling and what youd expect for a blues lounge.
