House of Blues to me is foremost a music venue. But the Crossroads Restaurant that is part of the complex remains in business and seems popular, especially on concert nights when dining there allows you to "skip the line" for the concert. That said, Blog sources say that when the lease is up in 2019, they're out of there. Disney allegedly forced HOB to cancel its hugely-popular Sunday night Service Industry night last year and it exerts strict control of music artists and music genres that are allowed to play there. HOB is not a white elephant but if it's really leaving, maybe we'll just call it a lame duck. |

Disney announced a month or so ago that Disney Quest would remain "through 2017." Not sure if that means it'll be there all year, but I think it definitely means the NBA Experience deal must have fallen through.
And, I assume, that creates an issue for Disney. I'd always heard rumors that Disney doesn't want the building torn down because of how big a hole it would create at West Side, but what on earth could go there? Putting a restaurant in Mannequins was hard enough; how do you fill a spot as big as Disney Quest?
Yeah, not only does DisneyQuest have a large footprint, it's multiple levels too. But they did find someone for Mannequins and they did find someone for the Virgin Megastore space, so who knows. Thanks, Troy!
House of Blues might be going to Universal's side of town.
So no hip hop allowed at HoB?
Wolfgang has a new restaurant coming to Disney Springs called CUT, he has directly said this in a conversation I overheard. I imagine it's what they are building next to the Edison and across from STK.
Anon at 12:33PM, yes, HOB will be closer to Universal.
Anon at 9:20PM, you're not going to hear Hip Hop anywhere in Disney Springs.
Meome, interesting information but would they really put one upscale steakhouse across the aisle from another?
