10 Food & Drink in Memphis That You Shouldn't Miss

February 28, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

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.

Quench Wine & Spirits

Reviewed By bigfish262 - Memphis, United States

Working in Downtown Memphis I have become a regular Friday customer here. The store is always meticulously kept, and I have always found everything I needed here. About the best part though is the service I get when I visit. 9 out of 10 times I am helped by Chris...a very knowledgeable and friendly person. It is because of him I have become a regular customer. For those visiting from out of town and are staying at the Peabody, takes right out of the rear entrance, walk about 25 yards to get your fill of adult libations. Say “Hi” to Chris when there.
