A legend himself, the gifted guitarist runs one of the more popular and most comfortable clubs in town. Blues paraphernalia, from a Koko Taylor dress to a Muddy Waters tour jacket, decorates the walls of this club near the South Loop. You may catch Buddy on stage when he's in town. (Or, if you're lucky, one of his high-profile friends, such as Mick Jagger, will stop by for an impromptu jam session.) The kitchen serves good Louisiana-style soul food and barbecue. Buddy Guy's is planning a move 1 block north of the current location, so call first to check the address.
