I thought this venue was a great casual place for a comedy show. It was a very relaxed environment with friendly staff. I didn't order any food but it looked good. I wish they were a little more strict about phone use during shows. It was distracting.

I want to commend this establishment. I walk with a cane when I'm having bad medical days. I wanted to see a concert downstairs at the Black Buzzard. I called and was told I would have no issues getting accommodations when I arrived. The door men helped me get down the stairs and the bartender Dalton helped me the rest the night. He was very kind, understanding, and went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed to be OK before the show began. He got me a chair from the back room and made sure I could see ok and enjoy myself. A lot of people act like those with disabilities are a burden, but in no way did I feel like that at Oscar Blues. I saw a great concert and had an amazing time. Thank you!
