The blues to return to downtown B.R.
A new blues bar is slated to open before the end of the month in downtown Baton Rouge. The Blues Room will be on Lafayette Street in the former home of Tabby’s Blues Box and, years before that, the Rathskeller. "Baton Rouge is very well known for having a lot of young musicians, particularly blues musicians," says owner Billy Stevens. "It’s going to give them a venue to play, and those guys will play inexpensively. … I think downtown is the perfect place for that. It’s kind of an eclectic crowd already." Stevens is also hoping to host some of the area’s internationally known veteran blues artists. Stevens is shooting for a Jan. 25 opening and plans for the bar to be open seven nights a week, with live music as often as possible, and to serve a limited menu of bar food. –David Jacobs

Something about "new" and "blues bar" doesn't sound right to me... I just always envision a blues bar/juke joint as some hole in the wall thats been around forever...

Mud + Water just opened I thought. Why another?

Fishwater -- M+W is not a blues bar per se, but will have certain events that lean that way (Little Freddie King and Henry Gray for example)
There will be a very diverse booking calendar for all sorts of tastes
