Relocated from the French District in New Orleans, the Blue Fugue is a newcomer to Columbia’s music scene. Formerly the Music Café, this bar and lounge brings an eclectic mix of a daytime ‘used-bookstore’ hangout and a nighttime concert setting.

With such regular bands as Los Desterrados and Abatería, the Blue Fugue offers belly dancing, Salsa nights, open-mic Mondays, Hurricane Katrina benefit nights, as well as big screen television for avid sports fans. With instruments from around the world plastering the walls, well-worn couches welcoming passersby, and your standard dartboard at the back of the bar, this venue is truly one of a kind, with something for every kind. Full story.
