Live blues is definitely not the only game at this imitation Mississippi Delta juke joint. Big-name touring acts entertain the standing-room-only audiences with soul, pop, rock, metal, country, jazz and even burlesque. For some shows, you can skip the long lines to get in by eating dinner in the restaurant beforehand, then showing your same-day receipt.
