Silky O'sullivan's

Have a diver, Hell have two!
when your finished, Buy the goats one too!

Silky's is Beale Street Online's favorite Memphis club. You haven't experienced Beale street until you've had a world famous Silky's diver on their outside patio, complete with not one but two beer drinking goats. (Don't believe it? Try it.) Don't forget to say hi to Silky himself while your there and listen to Barbara Blue inside the pub wail like no one else!

Beale Street Online recommends: A Diver, Hanging out on their patio, Sitting (not standing) on the ledge out front, Passing out beads in front of this place.

Wet Willie's

These aren't your momma's daiquiri's!

At first glance Wet Willie's seems like just another Dairy Queen. I mean come on now 21 frozen drink machines? Frozen drinks can't give you a buzz can they? Hmm lets order one and see shall we? WARNING: These aren't your momma's daiquiri's!

Wet Willie's main attraction is the famously POTENT beverages, which contain more alcohol than standard bar drinks! These delicious concoctions will release even the most inhibited person. My wife accidentally drank one of their Strawberry Daiquiris and two of their "Call a cabs" She then promptly passed out! Delicious and they WILL mess you up!
Beale Street Online highly recommends their drinks, which rival Silky's Diver for the best drink deal on Beale!

Beale Street Online recommends: A "Call a cab", NOT hanging out in this bar (buy your drinks here but go somewhere else)

Elvis Presley's Memphis

Elvis bought his clothes at Lansky's right here on Beale Street

Enjoy live entertainment Tuesday through Sunday. Open daily at 11a.m. for lunch and dinner. If you've ever been to Beale Street in Memphis Tennessee, you already know, it's a special kind of place. Magical things happen here on any given night. Elvis himself bought his clothes at Lansky's right here on Beale Street, and while the current administrators of his estate probably don't approve of our site, we believe the king himself is smiling down with pride! A great place to have some down home cookin' but we don't recommend it for partying, that is unless your over 40, in which case you'll most likely love this place!

Beale Street Online recommends: Sunday Brunch, talking to the cool doorman.

Alfred's on Beale

Their elevated outdoor patio is huge.

Live entertainment nightly. Open 11 a.m. - 2 a.m. Serving the hottest wings on Beale. For those that need one, they also serve a great Strawberry daiquiri and they're usually one of the first clubs to get their frozen machine going for the day. Their elevated outdoor patio is huge and can be very tempting to the bead thrower and boob shower alike!

Beale Street Online recommends: Hanging out on their upstairs outdoor patio.

B.B. KING'S

Once I saw Kenny Wayne Shepard get up out of the audience and join the band!

World famous B. B. King’s Blues Club featuring the best in local and international entertainment. Live music nightly. Restaurant serving lunch and dinner. A very classy club. Probably Beale's classiest. First rate entertainment! Once I saw Kenny Wayne Shepard get up out of the audience and join the band on stage! Contrary to some stories about B.B. not having anything to do with this place, I have personally met BB King in here! The only drawback to this place is it's relatively small and fills up quickly, so get here early if you want to sit.

Beale Street Online recommends: Getting here early!

Rum Boogie Cafe

The main attraction here is the music!

Some of Memphis’ most prized music memorabilia and music by the Boogie Blues Band featuring James Govan on a regular basis. Not to mention a HUGE selection of Rum. Blue plate lunch specials are featured daily and at night “Hickory Smoked” BBQ pork and ribs are served up with Championship Gator Gumbo but the main attraction here is the music! After the march to revitalization, but before the big-name clubs landed on Beale Street, there was the Rum Boogie -- pulling in crowds and making the city and tourists alike believe that Beale could survive. The club in a brick building on the corner of Beale and Third has been the heart and the anchor of the entertainment district. Rum Boogie was there when it was the only place to go at night. It was spilling crowds and music onto the street when few other establishments were open or barely dreamed of. The place has packed them in for lunch and seen wall-to-wall music lovers at midnight. Beale Street Online HIGHLY recommends this place!

Beale Street Online recommends: Gator Gumbo, Their Long Island ice tea from their outdoor bar, Just hanging out upstairs, checking out James Govan, Giving the guys at the door beads.

The Peabody Hotel

Not on Beale Street, but well worth checking out on a Beale Street trip.
"The South begins in the lobby of the famous Peabody Hotel." Or so the story goes. You're just as likely to see a Rock Star or Movie Star as you are to see a local.
Stars that Beale Street Online staffers have met here include; Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons, Jesse Jackson, members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special, Donald Duck Dunn of The Blues Brothers and many many more. Pricey, well-mixed drinks are the order of the day, in this "see and be seen" locale. Don't miss the mezzanine-level history walk, and be sure to bring a drink to the room in the Northwest corner of the mezzanine -- where you'll hear all about the past of the famous Peabody while you take in old pictures, letters, and the like from its colorful history.

Beale Street Online recommends: Long Island Ice Tea, Getting a room here, and Keeping your eyes peeled for celebrities.
