Riverfront TimesAugust 4, 2014BB's features a varied schedule of musical acts, a large year-round seating capacity and full-service kitchen specializing in Cajun and Creole food, in addition to a selection of American bar food. Read more
Scott RockwoodAugust 8, 2013Great music, atmosphere, local beers on tap, and a fantastic kitchen cooking everything from perfect wings, to house made barbecue sauces, to gumbo, to veggie burgers, to hand cut sweet potato fries.
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Freestyling—performances from the world's best jazz musicians—are the norm at this old-school hang. Warm up with gumbo, and then wash away your regrets with a Schlafly Pale Ale, the local favorite.

- Margaux ShockleyDecember 12, 2015Best honey bbq wings I've ever had. The smoked ribs were good and the sauce they make that goes with the sweet potato fries were good
James RobertsonJuly 11, 2017Even though I've never eaten here I have enjoyed quite a few bands and I've yet to not enjoyed myself while here
Jimmy FMay 4, 2012Great venue! Narrow, intimate, small tasty menu (get seasoned chips) Love front row at the rail on the upstairs balcony to watch acts like Marquise Knox & Jake's Leg! Prices $$$ out of 5 = Great Time
Marni VincentNovember 17, 2014From out of town found on yelp and was amazing food and music entertainment worth the $5 ... chilli delicious!
Christine ShepherdSeptember 28, 2014Great good! Fun times. recommend the honey wings and smoke ribs. $5 cover when band on.
- Andrew SimsApril 22, 2013Legit BBQ ribs! The Memphis sauce is delicious. Local draft beer selection is great as well! Especially for those Untappd users
- Gumbo and Chicken Wings are great..some of the best music in St Louis!!
Natasha MaytonOctober 17, 2016Soup is in the name of this business, but they just have a note about asking about the soup of the day. You'd think they'd have a page in the menu dedicated to soups. Nope. Their soul food is meh.
Emily PaulMarch 30, 2013Food is good, live music is excellent. The old hag taking cover charge was in a nasty mood. The bartenders are rude and the drink prices are ridiculous, even for downtown. Won't come back.
- Try the menu I can't stop thinking about it! So good!
Stephen LuoDecember 5, 2014Best Jazz place ever! Best among Chicago NYC SF!!! Love in it, gonna fly to this place thereafter! Walking distance from my stay at Hyatt Regency, and free overnight parking!
Bob MaherJuly 15, 2010motorcycle parking on the sidewalk out front... just don't park in front of the exit door!
Steve TalbottDecember 5, 2010Well worth the visit. Pretty sure this building was here before the river was.
Matthew GuillotMarch 31, 2011Came here on a Wednesday night. I just wanted to eat but they wanted to charge me a $5 cover. I explained to the guy I just wanted food. But he didn't care.
Mary Kate HarkreaderJanuary 15, 2012Well, the cot chowder was awesome, but the band (Trigger 5) was mediocre at best.
Leonardo LimaApril 6, 2012"Ninguem passa por aqui sem cantar um blues". Ainda mais nas margens do rio Mississipi.

"This is the best stadium for baseball in America. The views are great and the seating is comfortable. The all inclusive options are many and well worth the higher ticket cost."

"I highly recommend going to the top. On weekends plan to be in line for hours. We went during the week in August with no lines and saw the sunset. BEAUTIFUL! The museum is interesting as well."
