Concept
Blue 5 was created by several business partners from Roanoke who wanted to provide a 5-star restaurant where people of all ages could enjoy free live music and exceptional Southern Cuisine in historic downtown Roanoke.

Food First
Although a lot of attention was paid to creating a distinct venue for live music, quality food will always be our top priority. Our menu is a mix of southern inspired creations of unique pastas, seafood dishes, steaks, catfish, collard greens, grits and more. We try to incorporate traditional southern dishes while also creating non-traditional dishes with a southern twist. Come and you will see why Blue 5 is award-winning and recognized as one of the top restaurants in the Roanoke area.

Live Music
Blue 5 offers live music 4-5 nights a week with styles ranging from the blues to progressive jazz to classic rock. Both regional and National acts frequent Blue 5, making it one of the most popular music venues in Southwest Virginia.
