A legend in these parts for live music, The Big Easy has earned its reputation on terrific blues with a generous helping of zydeco for good measure. Musicians are customarily local, and regulars can't get enough of them or of the nationally-known folks who occasionally make an appearance. Blue-collar patrons sit side-by-side with professionals, and all are welcome. Best of all, there's rarely a cover charge, and drinks are reasonably priced – a boon all the way around.
