We are visiting from the UK, and went to The Big Easy twice in two days! Flamenco on Saturday was wonderful, and the fantastic Chuck Sher and Friends for a brilliant, laid back Sunday from 2.00 - 4.30. The food was great, good variety and catered for various dietary requirements and the team there were lovely and so friendly. We'll be back in the week for the brass band.

Played this place with my band Wolf Jett last night, great vibes (place has its own B3 organ in-house), great sound on stage and a great crew running the place the food from the “Speak Easy” next door was on point! Thanks Rodger!

Food exceeded our expectations. Shirt ribs were excellent, lobster Mac& cheese was decadent. Even the French fries were perfect: crispy outside and pillowy soft inside.

A fun night out can always be had at The Big Easy...I like to go every Sunday for the Sunday Funday Blues Jam hosted by Sean Parnell.

This is a cute little speakeasy restaurant that has a different bands that sing on different days of the week. So today 02/26/2024 they have a band that sings French and Jazz music. The name of the band is San Lyon they really good. This place is Very nice and cute. The food is really good and the service is excellent. I'll definitely come back here again. And you should try the cheesecake. it's so delicious. Really nice.

Great venue! Beer selection sorely lacking tho! We would buy more beer if the selection were better.

So much fun! We went on blues night. Performers were amazing and vibe was very chill. Food was not incredible but it was very good and we didn’t go there for the food anyway. We went there for the music, and the venue did not disappoint.

I've been coming to this place for years now for music and occasionally a meal. I went in last Sunday and ordered a fried chicken dinner and a bowl of soup with a glass of ice water. The cost with tax and tip is $46 which I think was excessive for a meal for one person with no beverage. The food in this place was typically very good, but on this occasion, the food flavors were wacky and I was very disappointed that I paid $46 for food. It was below average taste.I don't know if they have a new chef or whether their recipes or ingredients spam changed, but I was very disappointed and probably won't look forward to eating there in the future.

Was a great venue to play at

Dank, smelly, terrible wine, tasted like it had turned to vinegar. Weird vibe. Kind of like a underground hippie/alternatively housed hangout. Not an elegant place to go if you're dressed well at all.

Shout out to the Big Easy and owner, Roger for being so community minded! Roger kept local music and Putnam Plaza alive with free outdoor music for the last three years. He provides a venue that offers something for everyone. I've popped in to see the very good local high school jazz band, he's hosted Flamenco artists and I just saw a poster for an upcoming Drag show that looks like it will be great fun. This last Friday, he hosted a benefit for a beloved local business owner fighting breast cancer. It was an epic night, with dancing to the Smoke House Gamblers. Thank you Roger and staff, you had a full house and you hustled -- it was a perfect evening in support of a beautiful member of our community!

I met one of my girl friends there at a Eric Lindell show. We lasted about 6 years. On and off. I was on. She was off. But the music and beer and atmosphere is awesome.
