Well… hate to say it… but The Blue Note on West Eighth street is officially closing.

For those who don’t know, The Blue Note is a venue where local and mainstream bands can play their music. The Blue Note was, by far, the nicest venue in Cincinnati and was one of my favorite places to play at. It always had a great atmosphere and great bands.

In addition to having played there myself on a number of occasions, several mainstream bands have also played there. I, personally, got the chance to see Sick Puppies play there and it was a great show.

The owner of the Blue Note was given an offer for the place, and took it. The new owners are also the owners of Strasse Haus.

The Blue Note will be sold and renamed… so here’s hoping the new owners don’t change a thing and continue to put on great shows.
