Music and dancing on Beale |
143 Beale St (at Second) Memphis, TN 38103 United States +1 901 524 5464 http://memphis.bbkingclubs.com/ |
This club, owned by legendary blues musician B.B. King, features some of the best blues music in Memphis. From the regular appearances of Ruby Wilson—who can belt out a tune and entertain a crowd as well as anyone—to the special concerts by groups such as Booker T. and the MGs or the drop-in visits of famous musicians who jam with the band, this club consistently delights visitors and locals alike. There is a menu of ribs, barbecue and other entreesn as well as snack items, but most people come here for the music, not the food. The dance floor rocks every night of the week.Reservations are required for special concerts. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A best bet for the blues |
153 Beale Street Memphis, TN 38103 United States +1 901 521 0800 |
Looking for the blues? Here in the hometown of the blues, this club is a sure bet for the real thing. Live bands take the stage every night, making this small bar a big hit on Beale Street. Recent blues greats who have played here include Muddy Waters' former sidekick Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin. Look closely for the neon sign, because it's easy to miss this little gem on a street crowded with clubs and flashing neon signs. Great for the night, or a stop while bar hopping.

Gospel brunch on Sundays |
315 Beale St (at Third Street) Memphis, TN 38103 United States +1 901 529 0007 http://www.hardrock.com/cafes/... |
Memphis native Isaac Tigrett started this chain; however, the Memphis location only opened in 1997. In addition to hamburgers, the menu includes an eclectic collection of around-the-world culinary items, such as French onion soup, Asian chicken pasta, the Caribbean style pork tenderloin and an upscale version of that old Southern favorite, funnel cake. A special treat here is the live music, which includes a gospel brunch on Sunday, where you can eat barbecue and listen to some of the best gospel singers in the country. Appetizers run from $3.50-8.50, while sandwiches and pastas go for $5.95-14.95. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Party on the patio |
326 Beale Street Memphis, TN 38103 United States +1 901 523 7444 |
If you can stand the Memphis weather, this Beale Street bar has one of the biggest patios in town. Enjoy it in spring and fall, or with a cool drink on late summer evenings. It is a great place to watch the crowds of tourists and revelers go by, but often fills up and becomes a party, with customers dancing and drinking on the patio to the music of local bands. After midnight on Saturday this place becomes a hot spot for local college students. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Groove with the college crowd |
539 South Highland Street (at Park Avenue) Memphis, TN 38111 United States +1 901 452 8408 |
Highland Street runs along the edge of the University of Memphis, but it is no cutesy strip of boutiques and pizza places. And Newby's is not a haven for wealthy, preppy kids, either. It has a feeling of reality, with a heady mix of people and music. Local bands play here almost nightly on one of the two stages. There is no telling what you might hear—it could be folk or alternative rock—but it will almost never be top 40 or boring. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Specialty is gallon-sized drink |
183 Beale Street Memphis, TN 38103 United States +1 901 522 9596 |
If the goats (kept outside in an empty lot next door) don't get you, then the "Diver" will. The Diver is a gallon-sized drink specialty served here. Not a place to go for dinner, this place packs in the hardcore party crowd. If you're feeling brave, ask the bartender for a Fuzzy Leprechaun. This bar hosts a raucous annual St. Patrick's Day celebration each March. (By the way, the goats, which are mascots for the establishment, won a permanent place in the bar only after city authorities concluded they posed no threat to public health and safety.)

It's a new theme everynight... |
2866 Poplar Avenue Memphis, TN 38111 United States +1 901 454 4081 http://www.sensesthenightclub.com |
Welcome to the New York style night club in Memphis, which offers different themes almost every night. Come after work on a Wednesday night for some crazy concoctions in the Martini Lounge. On Thursdays, groove to DJ Moises as he plays a blend of salsa, meringue and latino beats. Don't miss the best night; Super Saturdays with the hottest track remixes. If you get tired of dancing, there is an outdoor beer garden to relax those tired feet and enjoy some late night snacks. Review © 2007, Wcities |
