I came here from California to listen to live blues and was blown away. It is a great atmosphere with a full bar and good food! The bartender was incredible and I stayed for two sets. Awesome!

Been here several times traveling from SC. When we got married in Memphis on January 3rd, we knew we had to revisit for a celebration. Our favorite place to hear the blues! A small music spot on Beale to hear some of the very best bluesy bands. Vince Johnson is our fav!

I always make my way to Blues Hall when I'm in Memphis. It is joined with my favorite room on Beale Street the World Famous Rum Boogie. Before the revitalization of Beale Street years ago the Rum Boogie was the Only Juke Joint on Beale. During the resurgence of the entertainment district in Memphis, Blues Hall was redone and brought back to life. They also have the Best T-Shirts in Town.

This was a great relaxed bar, with a fabulous soul diva on 4-8pm who really brought Memphis soul alive. The one barmaid was extremely efficient, coping easily with serving multiple people at any one time, so you never had to wait. It was a friendly crowd, with people dropping in for a quick drink or dance, then moving on. We stayed for longer than planned as the music was great, and then we wandered off to try some other places when the music changed over to a group of guys who were slightly more eclectic.

Door man is a trip, bartender is ok, but man.....the music. This was hands down my favorite part of my trip. The music was amazing, it will change your life. The style and feel of the place is exactly as it should be. This is a must go.

There was a $5 cover charge on entry. Venue is adjacent to the Rum Boogie Cafe. Music was excellent. Nice atmosphere. Smoking allowed.

Came in here with a few friends on Wednesday night. Live music was great. Ordered a few drinks, then bartender took credit card before giving me a total. From afar I could see numerous charges on the computer and I asked her about the total. She pointed to a small sign above that said "cover charge $4" and did not say one word, nor ever smiled. Not a big deal for a charge, but would've expected someone at the door, or at least mentioned it before taking my card and charging it or mentioning it when we placed order, that there was a fee to stay. What if I had only a specific amount for the drinks? Would they have asked for them back if unable to pay the cover charge? We went to the other side where there was amazing blues. Love some great harmonica playing! Great place, unwelcoming bartender. Again, not a big deal for paying for good music, but most places have signage outside that tells you what is expected indoors. This to me was nothing but a ploy to get people inside, then get your credit card to add more money without you knowing.

The Blues Hall was our favorite club during a recent visit to Memphis. It has just the right amount of grit (it's not too cute or slick), the acoustics are fine, and the drinks are reasonably priced. Of course, the band playing has to be good, and we saw a couple that were excellent. The Plantation All Stars were smoking during a late afternoon-early evening show. See them wherever they are playing, if you can.

You might be drawn into the bigger, louder Rum Boogie Cafe, but be sure to check out this, more intimate, hole in the wall bar that is right next door. The music was outstanding! Other performers will stop by and play with the band. The drinks were very overpriced, but that’s Beale Street. You’re here for the music.

what time do bands start?

I was in the area around 6pm on a Friday in the summer and I found 3 places with live bands playing. I have no idea when they start. You could contact the venue and see if they have a playbill for the evening.
My best guess, if you are going to Beal Street on a Friday or Saturday night, the major places like this one will have a blues band playing, even at 6 pm. Just walk down the street, you will hear them.

Are children (teenagers) allowed in these 'music venues/bars'? I can't find a definitive answer, and the web sites don't say. I get the feeling that kids are allowed up until a certain time (say, 8:00pm) but would be good to know for sure.
