  Nice little club in the south JoCo area, a part of town that isn't exactly known for its seedy dives.  As you'd expect, this place is squeaky-clean, and therefore doesn't come across with much bluesy authenticity, but I don't require a lot of grit to have fun. Your mileage may vary.  Clientele was mostly middle-aged suburban couples out for date night, the wife dressed up more than the huz, that sort.  We weren't charged a cover.
  
  The one thing I really wasn't fond of: The layout of the place is a long, narrow box shape with a lounge-like area in the front, the bar in the middle, and the stage at the back with some tables crammed in front of it.   Seating filled up fast on the night we were there (we got the last two seats at the bar) and the standing-room crowd bunched up in the bottleneck of the bar area -- right in front of us, in other words.  A very drunk couple had quite the make-out session just inches away from us.  ("I think I'm gonna be sick," my date whispered in my ear.  Liar, he was actually enjoying it just fine.)  They really need to rethink the layout.
  
  Decent selection of local beers on tap (Boulevard, Tall Grass, the usual suspects) and the BBQ is AWESOME.  It actually comes from JR's next door.  We tried a combo platter & loved it all, enough so that we're making plans for a lunchtime JR's run next week to sample more of their wares.
  
  Sound quality was decent for a smallish room, and they seem to have a wide variety of local talent on the calendar.  The band we saw wasn't playing the blues at all, more of a funky bluegrass-rock fusion, but they were still quite entertaining.  Looking forward to returning soon, to kick back with an Ad Astra and hear some more live music.  A little place like this is great to have in the sanitized JoCo 'burbs, and I hope it thrives.

  Checked out a local blues band their the other day. Great music, great beer, and a very friendly staff. I came in late, when they stopped serving food from a nearby bbq place, so the bartender gave me her bag of gummie worms. I highly recommend it to anyone hanging out in the overland park area.

  Hubs and I loved the music at Quasimodo Friday night. Very bluesy  "Ms Clever and the New Kool Krew performed. Lead guitarist is fun to watch. all the musicians were outstanding. Gumbo was yummy and the  smoked sausage barbecue sandwich was tasty. Drinks were good and a solid crowd made the bar seem intimate. Please check out this venue and keep the live music coming to Olathe and south Overland Park.
