Silky’s is one of the biggest bars on the legendary Beale Street in Memphis. Indoors, most of the time they have live music , creating a very good atmosphere. It is always a fun time at this bar .

Serious Eats

The bar is most famous for The Diver ($18), a secret cocktail served in a gallon bucket with multiple straws. It is the source of a lot of joy and regret for many visitors to Beale St.

Colleen Budge

Good straight Guinness and the Irish Car Bomb worth a try (even if not a great name?!?!) - you can definitely taste the Irish in their Irish coffee , too. And yes, I had ALL three

Alexandre Munhoz

One of the only open air sites in the street which is great if you have good weather. The piano guys are very amusing. Service is chaotic but works eventually. Hot dog is good.

Madison Messmer

Perfect location on the world famous Beale Street . Love the large outdoor patio , 4 bars , and goats ! Live music on the weekends and lots of great food! A Memphis Must!!

Alberto Hernández De Santiago

Great bar ! The piano guys rock! I spent a week in Memphis, went there all days!

Strawberry Daiquiri is good but do not even try the piña colada ! Yuck! All 4 girls agreed, waste of money! Stick with Daiquiri ! :-) or beer ! Great live music ! Great patio :-)

Joe Nixt

Dueling Pianos are fun and outside is fun when band playing. Goats outside are cute . We had good time????

Silkys is a great time not the best piano bar I've ever been too but it was the best bar we went too on beale st! Popping on a Tuesday night and the food is delicious

Phantomluvr Luva

A great stop before a Grizzlies game.

Brandi Bruce

Goats . And a walk of fame. A must stop on Beale street !

Zach Hedrick

Obviously, you should get a diver. I've discovered that their Boll Weevil drink is awesome as well !

Reashun Gladney

The drinks are the best. One of the best bars on Beale Street .

ᴡ P.

It's a nice place when you want a drink or a mail in the middle of a very historic place.

Katie Mac

Get a strawberry daiquiri outside! They'll put it in a big beer cup if you don't want to deal with the big glass!

Darrin Earl

Try Silky's Irish Ale . Not the cheapest beer on tap , but brewed locally by Ghost River and delicious!

Justin Morris

Get the Diver. It's adequate for you and a couple friends and at $18 it is pretty cheap to split

Elizabeth Crossen

Great Bloody Mary and the Southern Belle was delicious too

Sean McBride

Go on a Sunday afternoon, grab a drink, and enjoy the sun out on the patio .

Scott L.

Remember: they have better beer than Bud Lite. The Tiny Bomb is always a good choice.

Diana W.

Good food and entertainment. Don't forget to watch where you step...

Elizabeth Weatherwax

Great food, ice cold beer and great atmosphere!!!

Watch out for the fat, young door man in the glasses. What a dick! Divers are always a good time though.

Tony DeSimone

Fun and good for having a quick drink

Becca Dickerson

The sausage & cheese plate is an awesome snack !

Rick Doesburg

There's a goat walking up and down a tower. Beer is kinda watery.

Jenny M

Good food! Cute goats out back.

Jeff Culler

A blues band and 2 goats ; what else does a Memphis joint need?

Todd Euler

The BBQ Nachos are crazy good..

Kevin Kearney

Best outdoor spot on Beale . By "best" I mean "the only."

Mark Matke

Food was average. Atmosphere is pretty cool though. I'm glad to have experienced it once. But that is probably enough.

Mike Fergus

They make their own beer . Think they store it in ash trays instead of kegs .

Tiffany Bowers

You can drink a Diver with just 2! My husband and I did it! YUMMO!

Sapana

Beware of the curly hair bartender !!! Mean little thing!

Adam Brewer

The Diver will take you down. Be prepared.
