10 Bars & Clubs in Memphis That You Shouldn't Miss
Memphis is a pilgrimage for those wanting to visit the birthplace of the blues, of soul and of rock 'n' roll. On Beale Street, W.C. Handy put down on paper the first written blues music. Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash all recorded at the historic Sun Records, which is now a museum. Graceland, the second most-visited home in America, welcomes visitors from around the world who yearn for a peek into the life of "the King." Beyond the music, Tennessee's largest city also offers much more. It has more sunny days each year than Miami, and combines southern tradition and hospitality with modern amenities. You'll enjoy great dining (be sure to sample the barbecued ribs), art galleries and exciting nightlife.

Old-fashioned blues bar with great drinks and lots of ambiance. Home of the Famous Blues Band Juke Joint Allstars. Wild Bill's Memphis offers Music, Food and Blues. The last surviving juke joint in the Delta, and the single greatest place in the City of Memphis.

We had read that Wild Bill's was a great local music venue, and it definitely lived up to its reputation! The exterior might be a little rough around the edges, but once you're inside, everyone is super friendly and the music is top notch. We went on a Sunday, which is the weekly Jam Session and it was a fantastic experience - probably the highlight of our visit to Memphis. If you're traveling to Memphis and want to hear excellent local musicians, check out Wild Bill's!

Take a walk on the wild side as you stumble up the psychdelic stair case leading you to 4 pool rooms, 3 overlooking Beale. Its quaint, cozy, intimate feel makes it the perfect spot to rack a few cues and enjoy a wide array of spirits. The internet juke box will keep you entertained with all your favorites, or take a bit to enjoy the world renowned collection of movie posters adorning the walls. Walk-ins are welcome and it's a great place for group gatherings.

I love this Beale Street gem. After fining this place my fiance suggested we celebrate his birthday here with friends. The staff was absolutely wonderful and allowed me to come in early to decorate the pool theme gathering. We always stop by when we want a relaxing night out.
