Visit Both at Night and Day

We visited both times and honestly I enjoyed the daytime more! There were street performers asking for tips, but we didn't have cash and they eventually left us alone. Have your ID- strongly enforced. Be aware that the lovely patios do not allow outside drinks...More

Fun people watching

Even if you are going out for a big night on the town this was still fun to go down and take in the music and atmosphere. Just bring cash as a number of places are cash only.

Great time

Beale St. Is great if you love good food and music. It can get very busy in May. Ate supper at the Blues City Cafe and would highly recommend it.

A Great American Street - A Must Visit

Beale Street is one of the legendary American streets - there only a few streets which command a visit and Beale is one of them. Beale is unique enough to not be over run by the mega chain tourist traps and, hopefully, it will remain...More

Vibrant sounds

Staying at the La Quinta downtown and was wondering if it is a far walk to Beale St? Is it in a safe area for night time walking? Only one night, what are the must do things on Beale St?

It is a ways out from the city. You would have to hire a private care. You also must visit by appointment I believe. It is not always open. I would contact them on Facebook and I’d guess they could arrange all of that. Also... More
