Theodores' Booze, Blues and BBQ

Advocate readers aren't the only ones who appreciate what Theodores' has to offer to music fans; the club, in the heart of Springfield's entertainment district, was named "Best Blues Club in the Country" by the Blues Foundation a few years back. Co-owner Keith Weppler attributes the 32-year-old club's popularity to "good music, good atmosphere, good food." That includes an impressive schedule of local, regional and national acts and a kitchen known for its homemade barbecue.
