One of the best rooms in the city to see and hear a band. Always good sound, and the room is set up nicely for watching, chatting and dancing.

Love that they kept the blues can vibe going in the new location. Music was amazing, ambience was great! Had some small hiccups with service and food, but Ray and Beth saved the day!

Visited a Tuesday during a layover from my flight back home. The live music was awesome, the bartender was a sweet heart, had a great time! :) would recommend! ❤️

In what appears to be an old airplane hangar along the 9th Avenue strip in Inglewood lives some of the best Calgary blues served up raw and real! The patrons are as colourful and diverse as Inglewood itself, all brought together through the same language — The Blues.

I love this place. An institution. Great service for being so packed regularly. It’s great on a weekend, evening or afternoon.

The live music is what brings me back every Wednesday, if you haven’t had a chance to hear a performance yet do check it out!

I finally got around to actually having some food instead of drinking like a fish, and wow the Cajun Mac and Cheese is something magical. It’s their number one dish for a reason!

Very simple and relaxed interior. No frills here, making it a great hangout spot any night of the week.

The Blues Can just re-did their menu bringing in MORE Cajun deliciousness including an improved rib recipe, batter for deep fried pickles and in-house made corn bread that is to DIE for.
