BBQ Blues offers a lively combination of authentic barbecue and live blues music in a spacious setting that feels like a neighborhood gathering spot with a rustic touch. The venue features a full bar and a menu rich with smoked meats like brisket and tri-tip, perfect for pairing with the soulful sounds of blues bands that play on select nights, mainly Fridays and Saturdays. The room is designed for both dining and enjoying music, with seating arranged to give good sightlines and sound quality without feeling cramped. Shows are typically free, encouraging a relaxed evening where you can savor your meal, listen closely to the music, and mingle without the pressure of a formal concert environment. The venue’s location on East Colorado Boulevard places it in the heart of Monrovia’s downtown, making it easy to find and a great spot to start or end a night out.
