Gip's Place is a blues joint located in the back yard of Gip Gipson's home on Avenue C in Bessemer.
An avid blues fan and part-time musician, Gipson began hosting barbecues in his back yard for musicians to entertain friends and neighbors. The weekend events grew in popularity and he gradually added a small enclosure with a stage. After members of the Magic City Blues Society "discovered" the venue, they helped build a roof over the shack.
