Good for a wander about but didn’t feel that safe

Had to come here. Just didn’t feel that safe in Memphis. Had a quick wander but didn’t linger as didnt feel safe at all. Wish we had skipped Memphis.

Love Beale Street

Beale Street is a must for me while driving through Memphis. There are so many shops and performers. At night, it's all lit up in neon. Beautiful, lively place.

Nice to go around

Nice to go around and the museums and stadium are nearby. There is a public parking that charges reasonably. There is a Starbucks nearby and there are several bars and it is lively at night.

Somewhat disappointing :(

OK it's January and a bit cold walking round but we didn't feel the vibe, a bit too much of the cover-charge and premium on your check to pay for the band. On a personal note the volume in some bars was defending (to me)....More

Sad return visit

I toured and enjoyed Beale Stree in Memphis about 15 years ago and had a wonderful time. Very colorful and entertaining. I just returned, and was very saddened to see the neglect, dirt and disintegration of an important historic part of Tennessee and the US....More

Always Having Fun

Visiting Memphis without visiting Beale street is not complete yet. The best time to visit the Beale is end of the day because as soon as the police block the street only for pedestrian, the street is coming to live. Live music is almost in...More

As they close off Beal Street for the evening enjoyment of visitors, take in fun street performers, take a Cinderella Carriage ride horse drawn. View statues honouring the king of blues oh yes and Elvis himself. It’s a fun evening and next door to the...More

I am in London UK. I would like to visit the Lewis ranch when plan to go to Memphis in the future.. We don't want to drive there. Can you get a taxi from Beale Street to Lewis ranch tours..

AnswerShow all 2 answers

It's about 25 miles from Beale Street to the Lewis ranch in Mississippi. I would download Uber or Lyft when you get to the States, cheaper than cabs.

Heading to this area in February can you give me more details of where you picked up a wrist band so cover charges were paid? Do you have any recommendations on best club for blues or local favorite?

January 3, 2019|

AnswerShow all 8 answers

Sad to say but there's not as much blues music on Beale's but the Rum Boogie or club attached to it had great blues recently. It's hit and miss on finding blues....but if wrist band is available do so you can pop around.

I'd really like to catch an Elvis tribute whilst in memphis - any suggestions?

October 23, 2018|

AnswerShow all 11 answers

Really don't think you'll find a tribute to Elvis. Memphis is so much more than the home of Elvis Presley. It's about getting absorbed in the culture, the home of R&B, Beal Street and the clubs there, some of which are owned... More
