Great Blues in a down-home friendly atmosphere. The Blues ranges from Chicago style to Austin Texas with a whole-lot of styles in-between. The Musicians and Bands are always excellent. This place is truly about the Blues; it’s the music and the way it makes you feel. Even the customers are nice; it’s a great place to take a date. You’ll meet musicians and other blues fans in an atmosphere that once visited, will make you a fan for life. Babe's & Ricky's is the antithesis of commercial blues clubs where they herd you in like cattle and treat you even worse. And the best thing about Babe and Ricky’s is the owner Momma; She is the Blue’s own surrogate mother in LA, who loves all her musicians and customers and makes each one feel at home.

I went on a Monday night, and for $5, got not only top-notch, shack-shakin' blues but friendly people, a great down-home Southern buffet, and an entrance into a side of LA most people don't know about. Honest, warm, full of life and rich with character, everyone has to go here once just to be a part of energy uncommon among this glitzy city.
