The Blue Note is a music venue in Columbia, Missouri, and is a contributing property to the North Ninth Street Historic District. It was established in 1980 by Richard King and Phil Costello. The venue was sold by King to Matt Gerding and Scott Leslie in October, 2014.
The original Blue Note was located at 912 Business Loop 70 East and moved to its Ninth Street location (a restored vaudeville theater) in the early 1990s. It is famous for the legal case Bensusan Restaurant Corp. v. King over naming use on the internet.
