While I've been all over the country, and every House of Blues is pretty much the same, at least they're the same in that they're a great place to see a concert. Good view of the stage from the entire venue and small enough to make it feel intimate (The Joint or The Pearl). I especially like the great camera crew that shows the band on closed circuit TV's all over the club. Three bars ensure you can always get a drink pretty quick, though at a major dent to your wallet. It's a long walk from the parking garage, too, so be prepared for that!
