Description

This venerable Third Ward establishment - "open 'til it closes, seven days a week" - has reined it in significantly from its glory-ridden heyday. Once a raucous blues joint frequented by Lightnin' Hopkins, Etta's no longer hosts live music, but the friendly bar and eatery still cooks up a mean piece of catfish or some tasty barbecue, and serves plenty of cold beer to wash it all down.

It won't likely be your late-night spot of choice, but you just might fall in love with Etta's all the same.

Couldn't it also be a back room, Grady Gaines and a cold bottle of Schlitz? We say yes, it can. If you agree, then there is no better place to worship than the Third Ward institution that is Etta's Lounge. When local legends and Sunday-night regulars Grady Gaines and his Texas Upsetters take the stage for a long night of blues and soul, dancing is practically required.... More »
