Live music in Virginia highlands! They'll have a cover of $5 or $15 depending on what day you go and they list who will be playing on their website. Great space and scene to be honest. Cheap cocktails. There's space to dance by the stage. Security was super friendly. There is an atm inside if you don't have cash because that's all they accept. They had a pretty big band from Chicago come and perform when I went read more

Blind Willie's - Jazz & Blues Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Blind Willie's is a live music joint in the heart of Virginia Highlands. I went on a Thursday evening and the cover was $5 each (cash). There were plenty of seats but the place started to fill up as the band began to perform. Everyone was enjoying the music and dancing. They have a variety of drinks to enjoy too. If you like bluesy music, this is a great place to go! read more

Cool spot! Came on a Wed evening ($5 cover charge), great music. Free parking in the neighborhoods nearby, place was pretty empty at 8:30PM but by 9PM, it was pretty full, probably around 30 people. Enjoyed the music, lots of people dancing as well. Fun time! read more

Love the old time, bluesy vibe. Great music and welcoming. If you're lucky, people will dance. Always a good night out. Order food from Osteria next door. read more

The owner is rude to everyone he encounters. Saw him yelling at the musicians for "slamming the back door." Thing is, they WEREN'T slamming the back door. They were just opening the door and letting it shut, in a completely normal manner. He yelled at the bands merch girl as well. I hope he seeks therapy because that kind of behavior is unacceptable. read more

Love the venue, but they need to get rid of the old bartender. He's really rude and impersonal to both the clients and the musicians. He seems to have an attitude each time I see him, and unfortunately he is always there. But otherwise a truly amazing establishment! Be careful with parking. They will boot you in the nearby lots and streets if you aren't careful. read more

Such an amazing place. The band was absolutely fantastic. The drinks were so good. And the staff were amazing

I would recommend Blind Willie's if they had a kitchen and at least 1 or 2 signature dishes. I'm sure that they will hire a cook soon. The band last night was fantastic, but I never saw anything stating the name of the band. I regret that I didn't get the band name before leaving. I would definitely come back to enjoy their music again. The ambiance was great! The drink service was good, but it could be better with a couple of servers. read more

We stumbled upon this Cajun/creole/blues club just looking for a drink, and it may have been our best experience in Atlanta! Reasonably priced drinks but the real draw was the live blues music! There's room to dance in front of the stage, and they had seriously impressive talent. 100% recommend checking it out. There is a $10-20 cover depending on who's playing (you can see the schedule on their website), but it was WELL worth it! read more

We went to this place with high expectations, after reading the reviews. We were NOT disappointed! The atmosphere was great and the band was definitely jammin'! We had a nice spot where we could see everyone and it was great. Folk were dancin', the band was doing their thang. I highly recommend this spot. We'll be back! read more

Excellent. The musicians on Saturday night were very talented and fun. The lead vocalist had a great voice. The other guitarists were on point as well. The audience was packed and seemed to enjoy, as did we. The waitress was very busy and attentive. I was Impressed. I especially liked their interaction with the crowd and choice of musical selections. read more

Loved this place!! I went here on a Saturday night and had a blast. It's $10 to get in, parking was easy, and the food was reasonable and was good. I got the Cajun wings and fries and they were good. The vibe was definitely fun and the music was live. It was very upbeat. I'd return. It's not a lot of seating but we managed to find a spot to sit in. read more

The music is great, drinks are ok. It's SUPER annoying to me that you have to go waste money at the ATM next door because they don't have a Venmo or allow you to pay cover at the bar on your card. That's my only big complaint. read more

The live Jazz and Blues music is great. Place gets packed so get there early to get a table. Good liquors and beer. People are friendly and respectful. Staff is courteous and friendly. read more

I had amazing times. I went on a Tuesday night they said it is Blues however the music seemed more country to me. Parking Yes they have parking in the back of the building and after 10 pm you can park or the street Service My waiter was excellent. He was on top of everything. Drinks I had the Gator rum drink it is similar to having a a Long Island but fruity and it was terrific. Food I had the Cajun wings and it was a little dry however my date had the barbecue wings and it was delicious. Bathroom They do have one bathroom however it stink. read more

Fun night on Easter Saturday. Some semi celebrity was there which might explain the $15 cover charge. My buddy was worried that they would run out of seating but the place never filled up to the max. The house band was really good. 4 veterans that sounded tight. Whatever that means. Lisa our waitress was friendly and efficient. We drank and chilled. Small and intimate place with food and drinks. Show starts at 9. Enjoy read more

I wish I could give it more stars. This is one of if not the best establishment in Atlanta. The drinks are reasonable, the service is efficient and the atmosphere is always what you want from a jazz club. The musicians that play here are incredibly talented. Masters of their craft. The kitchen has been closed down for a while (could still be) but the food was phenomenal as well. I hope they bring the food back soon. Places like this really are special and increasingly rare nowadays read more

Ok I am not much of a Blues/Jazz person, we enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. The audience is usually above ages 35-40 and very into the music. The place is filled with regulars, feels very authentic Southern. I simply liked it. read more

I was looking for places to go to for my girlfriend and I's weekly date night and I stumbled across this place. When we arrived and walked in, you are consumed by the ambience of the entire place. Dim lights, christmas lights hanging on the walls and from the roof and you instantly feel like home. A very intimate setting. We sat down and ordered some drinks. After drinks, I ordered the Larry's Red Beans & Rice and my girlfriend ordered the BBQ Pork Sandwich, and I must say, it was delicious! We listened to William Reed & the Juke Dukes playing live and their music was very enjoyable! I loved hearing their wide array of jazz, blues and gunk music and they even played original songs. I don't really know what I was expecting but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and my girlfriend did too! I was blown out the water by the "hole in the wall" gem of place that Blind Willie's is. Will definitely come back! read more

So me and my girlfriend been celebrating our 3 year anniversary for the past few days, and we wanted to do something different. We both felt like going somewhere to listen to some live music. So of course I consulted Yelp and came up with this spot! The band didn't start til 9pm so we got there about 745 ish found a great spot and start to take in the ambiance! Which by the way was super chill, it wasn't as diverse as I thought it would be, but the crowd was decent. We met our waitress Kina, she was super pleasant and attentive for the most part, until the crowd came, they pretty much bombarded her. But she didn't forget about us. We started to order drinks. I got my trusty old fashioned and a Sweetwater 420, she got a lemon drop and a mini bottle of Prosecco, which costed the same as a big bottle from your local liquor store, but what you expect ‍. I got the chicken wings, she got jambalaya. The band was awesome! The whole experience was super dope! And the fact that it's 6 mins from us was even better! We're definitely going back read more

Blind Willie's - Jazz & Blues Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I really enjoyed this spot. I came here a few weeks ago on a Friday night when they had a live blues band. I was a bit skeptical at first glance as this place is the ultimate in dive bars, but hey...I had a rough week and needed a drink and escape from reality, so let's do this. The band was awesome! I can't remember the singer's name (maybe Sandra Hall or something like that) but she was the bomb.com. Her stage presence was infectious. Will definitely be back to see her again soon!! I ordered the red beans and rice and was THRILLED with my selection! I haven't tasted red beans and rice that good since being in N.O. They were so good in fact, I was inspired to make my own batch of them the next day...a true testament to how good they were. If you are looking for a chill local spot to grab a drink, some authentic Creole food without all the frills...this is the place. The crowd is a bit older than the other bars on the block, but that's how I roll read more

Amazing music, great energy with people dancing, decent drinks at decent prices, and to be honest you don't come here for the food.

Oh YES! THIS was some great live music. I was looking for love music in the area and my initial search on Yelp worked a few places. I tried them and was disappointed. I had given up and was going to head back to my hotel when my Uber driver suggested Blind Willie's. WHOA! I got they're late so I only caught the bands last set, but the atmosphere was great, the sound was awesome and the drinks were tasty AND reasonable priced. I WISH I had found Blind Willie's earlier and can promise that it will be my first stop the next time I'm in the area. read more

The music was amazing!! My boyfriend and I were on vacation and just happened to stumble upon Blind Willie's and it was such a great stop. The band that played was phenomenal and the drinks were great. I wish the kitchen was open, but everything else was awesome! read more

Great vibes here. The blues show was awesome and drinks pretty good too. Will be returning.

This spot was so much fun. We saw the lady band "Blue Velvet" on Friday and it was so much fun. The decor is very much bourbon st and the drinks are cold, well priced, and fast. I'll be back for sure read more

One of my favorite music venues -- anywhere -- and the best spot in Atlanta to hear live blues. Blind Willie's may not look like much from the outside (or the inside, for that matter), but slip inside this amazing Virginia- Highlands club, and you'll find yourself transported to a New Orleans juke joint with a band so close they're practically sitting in your lap. There's a small bar with a handful of local taps and some bottled beer, a decent menu of tasty appetizers, and some friendly servers -- but the blues are the main attraction. So drop by, grab a cold beer and a table by the stage, and prepare yourself for some of the best music in the ATL. read more

Spend a whole evening there. we were one of the first ones for the night. I could write pages of all the great stuff they have. The server and bartender were awesome very polite beyond friendly and just great. The food was amazing, it was well above pub grub. The music was great. Had just an amazing experience and would plan another trip to Atlanta just to go here again read more

Was here on New Year's Eve and Sandra Hall and the band made it unforgettable. From slow dancing to electric blues, this was an amazing treat. Lucky we chose this place as our destination. I'm coming back for more! Only downside was that there's nothing vegetarian and the gumbo wasn't that good. read more

A good spot to listen to the Blues. I've been a few times and there's something about this place that's timeless. There's typically a $5-10 cover at the door, but it's worth it. And oh btw- the guy in red (pictured) actually played the guitar at one point with his teeth!! read more
