  The best place to go for blues around. So many good national acts come through sometimes it's hard to decide what one to see next. The only two criticisms that I have are that the parking lot is too small and fills up quickly which means parking up the road and walking from an unlit parking lot. I have also had to wait for over an hour for food on more that one occassion on busy show nights. All in all, it's a great music venue and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves blues music.

  Worst place I ever been. 2 hour wait for food which wasn't worth it. In the winter they put the heat on and in the summer u sweat your butt off cuz they are too cheap to run the A/C. I can go to the Blue Goose to see Jim from the Rockets for $5 instead of $25.

  Callahan's is a great place to see local and national blues acts (and a smattering of non-blues artists). The staff is generally friendly, and you can sometimes get discounted or free tickets through the club's web site or Facebook page. I've seen many shows there, most of them great.
  
  As for the food? I've learned to eat elsewhere before I go to a show at Cally's. This place is a music venue/bar first; food isn't a top priority here. If the kitchen were better, I might say it was worth seven stars.

  Dropped in at Callahan's on a Saturday night in January.  Freezing out, light snow, and by 7pm I literally took the last parking place.  Inside, a packed house.
  
  I sat at the bar, had a great burger and enjoyed a very talented opening blues act, giving me time to enjoy my meal.  I also had time to marvel how good a place this is for live music.  The crowd had a very cool vibe, friendly, social.  The intimate but professional stage was easily seen from just about everywhere, and the sound was perfect, not too loud but with the right amount of punch.  I did notice an attentive sound guy working a large, complex board along the side, and it paid off.
  
  By the time the headliners came on, I was hooked.  Great blues, great food, great crowd.  Highly recommended.
