Black-eyed Sally's came to town in 1995 as a tiny BBQ and Blues joint located on Asylum Street in downtown Hartford. Over the next few years Sally's grew to triple it's size in order to accommodate the crowds. Black-eyed Sally's serves up award winning BBQ and Cajun cooking. Some things we are most proud of are ***Hartford Courant, ***Connecticut Magazine, yearly winner of the Hartford Advocate's "Best Of" readers poll and even a "very good" from the NY Times food critic. So grab some friends and come on down to taste some of the best cooking this side of the Mississippi.

Over the years Sally's has built a national reputation for bringing in some of the best recording artists on the blues circuit today. In fact Blues Reviews magazine rated Sally's as one of the best blues clubs in the USA. We have live entertainment Wednesday thru Saturday nights. Many well known acts have graced our stage over the years. We've seen Lucky Peterson, Shemika Copeland and Ronnie Earl to just name a few. On occasion some really big names have dropped in to eat or jam at Sally's like Clarence Clemons, David Crosby, Graham Nash, the members of the Allman Brothers band, Dave Matthews and even the gang from American Idol.
