Reviews of Stevie Ray's Blues Bar (Night Club)

Benjamin I. Swisher

I love the atmosphere. I love all the music they host and that they have TWO open mic blues jams per week! The musicians and staff behind the bar and the sound are excellent!!! My less-than-perfect rating is ONLY because EVERY jam I've been to starts, 30 minutes to an hour late

Cassaundra Moore

Great crowd, band and atmos. We will be back.

Gerard Krug

Great atmosphere good people.

Perry Santiago

This place rocks. Best music venue in the city. Service is great and prices are reasonable. Fantastic atmosphere and always a good older crowd. The place for adult entertainment and dancing.

Rina Gratz

Great music (shout out to Da Mudcats!) great service, reasonably priced drinks. Even wonderful food from the food truck parked right in front. Great night!

Ralph Hensley

Nothing like I expected. Music was weird

Mike Cotton

Went to Stevie Rays for the first time to jam with some of my friends during one of their open mic nights. Staff was great, everyone was extremely nice, and the music was awesome. It was nice not getting mean mugged from across the bar for a change. Go check it out! A lot of great local talent and some from out of town. I think it's my new favorite place!

Theresa Deem

good live music, and atmosphere

Nathan Ballard

The music was very good when we went. Place was packed by 9:30. $6 cover. 3 bands played. Closed at 2am. Dance floor is a little small. Worth going to if you like live music.

Brian Shelman

There is no other bar/club in Louisville quite like Stevie Ray's. This has become a regular haunt for my wife and I as the vibe and atmosphere are as "chill" and welcoming than any establishment we have been in downtown. I cannot recommend their version of Liquid Marijuana enough! Refreshing, delicious and strong - basically a 2019 updated version of a Long Island Ice Tea. Trust me, TRY ONE (or two)!

Dale Sexton

What a great place! I'm in my 50s and there was folks there from their 20s up into their 70s. I felt like I'd found my new hangout! I will be back.

Victor rosa

Excellent drinks and fantastic music.

Jon Neace

Great music, great atmosphere, but smelled like mold in there

tyler coughlon

Great live misic and strong drinks.

Debbi Smith

The only thing that could make Stevie Ray's better is more space. Every time I've been there it's impossible to find a seat. Of course, that just speaks to the popularity of the place, but I know we would have stayed longer tonight to listen to the great band (Nobody's Bizzness) if we had been able to find a table.

John Gasparine

Was here for an industry event last night. Don't know who the band was, but they were absolutely JAMMING. Dance floor was packed. Probably some of the best live music I've heard in a while. Drinks were solid too and the bar staff were top notch.

Deb Wilson

Great live blues almost every night

Naveen srikakolanu

It's good for band, you can get drinks here and food from a food truck just placed outside.

Tonya Gabhart

Place was full, nice atmosphere, drinks

Charles Land

Nice little bar with a great atmosphere. The bartender was friendly and they had a decent bourbon selection. They had live music, a decent blues band, and a mature crowd. I will return.

Dana Barnett

Great evening bar with good drinks and right band playing. Good casual crowd having fun. Dancing friendly atmosphere. Problem you have to locate parking nearby but not a great problem.

Penny Isle

Always show Stevie Ray's a little love when we're in Louisville if we can possibly swing it. Had a great time listening to Bag of Hammers, stepping out into the Voodoo Garden, and sipping the absolute best Bloody Mary I think I've ever had that I didn't make myself.

lexi sue

Awesome staff, friendly great service and fantastic music.

Toni Lange

Always enjoy Stevie Ray's blues bar, open Jam Tuesday night free live music awesome!

Stacy Ehmen

Great atmosphere, drinks, and music.

Danny Stotts

Great atmosphere, good music, and ice cold beer.

Lawn Chair

Great blues bar. The best part is seeing the same older black man that really gets into the music every time I go. Buy him a drink or something if you see him, hes about 6.2 and dances a lot with his "jazz hands". I love it

Sharon Maddox

Great place to socialize and enjoy great music. Cheryl Raush was the bomb.

Jeanne Condol

Always a good time. Bring your dancing shoes. Crowd is typically a little older. Blues and rock rule!

jairaj swann

Stevie Ray's is a great blues bar, with a friendly staff and a great sound man. Tuesday nights is the blues jam open to anyone that wants to get up and play.

Marlyce W

Sadly they stopped playing blues on the weekends; it's just a mix of cover songs. But the music is good. It's nice to just go and chill and not be bothered by a meat market. Fyi you can still enjoy blues during the week.

Todd Phillips

Heard the music, stepped in for a dance! Awesome and the guys had never played together!

Michael Jewell

Great live music and quick service!

John Klaman

Eli Black. Remember that name. Love live music. Love the blues. The place to be heard.

jan kovac

Love this place! So relaxed

Lisa Wolf

Smaller place than what I thought but great fun. Always have the best in local live music. Very nice outside setting if you want to be away from the crowd on the dance floor.

CFD PROMOTIVE

Great Blues Bar. Was there for Owners Birthday. The best of the BEST blues players were there to play.

Josh Carpenter

My favorite bar. Love the open jam nights. Lots of regulars. Very mellow place. Great place for couples. Been going there 17 years and never seen a fight or anyone make trouble.

gogo anover

Its a nice place for blues enthusiasts of Louisville. Its a friendly place and people respect those who are having a nice time. They have a small dance floor which becomes crowded when things gets going. You have to go through that dance floor obstacle if you are to go to the restrooms. You wont get any tables on weekends if you come a bit too late. No bar chows though except chips which they would hand out to you in packs. But there is a food truck right outside the bar. Music is good, drinks are good.

Mike Spurlock

Wonderful music venue in downtown Louisville. Staff is very friendly, prices are reasonable in the music is always top notch.

Tony Thornton

Alabama Al Thomas

Stella Vees rock, Jason Lockwood is the most Soulful guitar player around these parts

Atmosphere is cool, dance floor is large.. Some great bands playing here.. My only complaint is the drinks are extremely overpriced.. My boyfriend and I had seven drinks and the bill was $100

There was a $6 cover, so I just went somewhere else.

Barbara Cleveland

Friendly atmosphere. Good music. Tuesday is open jam session. Always entertaining. Several out-of-town people.

Mike Ellis

Great music super nice people had a great time

Dylan Grimes

Great atmosphere and music. I was pleased to see the cleanliness of the space, including the restrooms. There is also a roomy outdoor space in the back for smoking or to escape the crowd. Bartenders are all very friendly and very good at repeated, frequent enough checkups for customers both seated at tables and the bar

lisa klinglesmith

Cozy, cool atmosphere and good drink prices. Fun venue

Benita Humphrey

Lastnight was my first and I will definitely be back! Great atmoshere, great music!! I had a ball!

Julie

Loved listening to live Gary Cain last night. The atmosphere was awesome. I have sound sensitivity issues so the loud music was tricky to listen to right? Wrong! There was a fountain area in the back that was accessible so I could listen to the music and enjoy myself! Reasonably priced drinks as well.

Ryan Lopez

Open mic surprise on this my 44th... Galavanting..Road Songs.. I feel welcomed to Louisville KY... Savoring the moments..

Juan Ceballos

Very cool bar! They have live music and a good atmosphere!

Marty Pollio

I complain to friends all the time about this place, however, sometimes the bands are awesome and super talented, and sometimes they hire bands that should be playing at wedding receptions ...and that's on weekends. I'd like to think Stevie Ray's is too cool to hire bands that play the song Brick House, but sadly, that's not true. It would be great if they would set one night a week aside for jazz, but they don't seem to have the balls to try anything like that. The thing is though, the place has a great vibe, and I would have given it another star rating, but my last two visits were disappointments.

Landon Sheriff

This bar features live music and food from a food truck. I love open mic nights

Jonathan Jones

I always enjoy the music at this bar. Small dance floor and beautiful court yard the staff is not the friendliest, but I have been in worse situations.definitely a Louisville staple.

Rich Bader

Got there just in time to catch the last few songs that the band was playing. Great version of comfortably numb!

AudioGhost666

Cool place and good drinks, live music is always good.

Dzevad Becirevic

Very chill atmosphere great bands play music had really good time i meet owner he was really cool and i be definitely back

J Dawson

Came here probably 9 years ago and saw a band called The Kingbees.....been a fan every since. Blues bar supreme.

Georgette Ligon

Great music and goodtime

Alan Payton

Loved the Traveling Mojos

SweetLadyT Wallace

Great Time!!!

Michael Iwanicki

Beer, cocktails, free blues music and a nice bar.

Rishab Gaba

The music is insanely good. Awesome place. Must visit in Louisville. $6 cover after 6pm. Lively place. Food available from food truck outside. Quick service. In for a good time.

Jack Pickenheim

Great music and reasonable prices.

BJ Hernandez

Fantastic. Perfect ambience for a wonderful evening

Jeff Slyn

A $6 cover isn't too bad for 2 band's but the place could use a little updating. It is a long time staple on Main Street for good music. Since they don't serve food, you're allowed to bring your own food, which is very nice. Mona, at the door, has always been just lovely!

Jason Connell

Not very blue at all, more woody themed. The music and service were awesome!

George Keene

Good food good service good experience☺☺☺☺

Terry Neal

Great atmosphere, fast friendly service great music

Dave Sullivan

Stevie Rays might be where the old dudes hang out but you can find a lot of musical talent here. If you're looking for something a little different, give it a try.

Orlando Lockett

Love it nice and relaxing upbeat keep your feet moving. Definitely will be coming back

Jarod Gatson

I love the blues so much so this place is great for a fan like me. Live music all the time with mostly local talent. The music selection is vast because each band is different because they play together from putting their names on a list. The place is clean, cool, and will have you wanting to come back. Dont get spoiled

Michael Mullins

A very nice place downtown Louisville !! Historic Club !! Great service and food & drinks !! Great Music and Atmosphere !! A must go to place !!

Earl Paige

A lot of local music with a sprinkling of celebrity. Not just blues, but rock and even some jazz. If you like blues, the Tuesday night blues jam is free. Saturday night blues has a cheap cover charge.
