Lincoln Center Stage & B.B. King's Blues Club (fka Queen's Lounge"/upper level 2 of 2/balcony) is a 2-floor chamber music hall/nightclub that doubles as a grand ballroom for dancing. During the day, the venue serves HAL's onboard enrichment program and is used for presentations by guest speakers, seminars, special events. In the evenings here are hosted HAL’s popular “BB King’s Blues Club” shows (3 separate programs per night- at 8:45 pm, 9:45 pm and 10:45 pm, each 45 to 60 min in length, no cover charge). The musical experience is offered 6 nights per week and features an 8-man band (2 vocalists are backed by 1 drummer, 1 organist, 1 bassist, 1 guitarist, 1 saxophonist, 1 trumpeter) and two grand pianos. During the evening performances, guests are encouraged to use the large dance floor and sing along with popular music hits from the 60s. The Lounge is club-themed/designed, with a replica of the B.B. King club’s famous neon sign, many pictures of the celebrity, and a specialty cocktails menu with signature beverages served in the land clubs (including Motown Margarita, Rock Me Baby).
