Blues lovers have been getting their groove on at this place since forever. For years it was a legendary hang on Central Avenue but a few years ago, it moved to its present Leimert Park location, right in the heart of Afrocentric L.A. Stop by on a Saturday, Monday or Wednesday night for the jam sessions and you're liable to see your favorite musicians sitting in with the jamming house band, The Mighty Balls Of Fire. In addition to the music, it also serves up mouthwatering soul food. Cover charges vary, depending on who is there.

Don't miss this!

There is no other place like this. Friendly, warm, fun, great music and wonderfully good food. A neighborhood place that jumps. One of the great venues of Los Angeles, a place to be proud of.
 
 
 
 
 
Blues at Babe's & Ricky's
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/25/04
Great Blues in a down-home friendly atmosphere.
The Blues ranges from Chicago style to Austin Texas with a whole-lot of other styles in-between.
The Musicians and Bands are always excellent.
This place is truly about the Blues; it’s the music and the way it makes you feel.
Even the customers are nice; it’s a great place to take a date. You’ll meet musicians and other blues fans in an atmosphere that once visited, will make you a fan for life.
Babe's & Ricky's is the antithesis of commercial blues clubs where they herd you in like cattle and treat you even worse. And the best thing about Babe and Ricky’s is the owner Momma; She is the Blue’s own surrogate mother in LA, who loves all her musicians and customers and makes each one feel at home.

Relaxing and entertaining
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/05/04
A great place! The perfect alternative to your typical high energy, loud, expensive lounges or clubs. Has booths and tables and an intimate atmosphere. Get there early if you want a booth. All the visiting bands and musicians who sat in with the house band were terrific. We went on a Monday night and got the opportunity to see Mickey Champion perform and I have never seen a woman in her 70's move and belt out the songs like that! And Mama's soul food.... 2 words for you... fried cornbread. Nuf said. Awesome place! Can't wait to go back!
