My son and I stopped in Memphis on a cross country trip recently. After catching a baseball game in Autozone Park (a great new minor league ballpark) we wandered over to Beale Street. This is a must see place for any fan of the blues or music in general. There was a band playing in the park and several more... more

If you like to drink and party you will probably like Beale street a lot. I was in Memphis over Memorial day weekend with a group of friends ranging in age from late 20's to early 30's. We all loved it and had a great time 3 nights in a row. If you are in Memphis with kids or are... more

Ok! So you hear about it, read about it, think about it, and go there. As we did, you may find it from a different perspective. Actually we seek out places when we travel and many we will go back to...but not this one! It was good for a one time look and that was about it. To us it... more

I guess the best way I can put this is that I probably would have really enjoyed this if I was looking to drink a lot. That's basically all Beale Street is about. It's basically 2 blocks of bars. Even the restaurants and blues clubs have these windows that open up to the street that serve 'big a** beers' -... more

What a fantastic time my friend and I had in Beale Street. We were staying at the Heartbreak Hotel and got the free bus downtown to Beale Street. I only wish I could remember the name of the great bar we visited. The band were called DELTA HIGHWAY and they were terrific. We visited two nights running. Unfortunately the CD... more

Filled with good music, good food and nice people! The museums were ok but the tour of the Gibson Guitar Factory was very interesting. Everyone we met in this area was friendly, helpful ...and all had great advice on the best spots to dine in town! more

My husband and I visited Beale street on April 10th 2009. It was great. The street was blocked off so no cars on the street. I felt very safe. There were a few homeless people begging for money but they were not mean and were fine when we said we didnt have any money to spare. there were many shops... more

My husbad and I visited Beale street on a Friday night. We had an awesome time. They have the block closed down to traffic, and we just wandered from one place to the next. There was great live music (jazz/blues) without a cover charge. We stopped in at several bars, and the service was fine. Yes, there was a police... more

We were surprised to find that many of the shops are closed in the Beale Street area. Most of the activities on Beale street are for those interested in drinking and hopping from one bar to the next. We ate at Alfred's and both ordered the pulled pork platter, it was lousy. The cole slaw was the worst I have... more
