Babe's 'n Ricky's Inn is the oldest blues bar in Los Angeles. It was founded in the fifties in Watts, moved to Central Ave. then, when too many liquor stores came to that part of town, it moved to Leimert Blvd. And 43rd in Leimert Park. Five nights a week, you can find a blues band playing on the little stage, Mondays they have an open mic with a soul food buffet.
