House of Blues

Located in the White Swan Building in Victory Park, this temple of sound has room enough for 1,625 patrons in the main room and an exclusive roped-off VIP area, where industry types and those in the know can enjoy the tunes of the next big thing or refined acts of legends. A second room, The Cambridge, allows the public to catch live local bands, as does the restaurant. In that amber-hued dining space, patrons can munch on beef tenderloin or seafood jambalaya, burgers, ribs and more. The members-only Foundation Room offers an upscale experience complete with a cozy fireside lounge. If you'd like a memento (a painting of Kid Rock, perhaps) of your time at the House of Blues, stop into the souvenir shop.
