The heartbeat of Memphis' nightlife! Definitely recommend B.B. Kings Restaurant & Blues Club for great music and excellent food. Every bar has live music , so grab a drink and enjoy a stroll.

Looking to travel for a party holiday? Be on Beale for NYE or Halloween . It's a blast: Street performers , sidewalk bars , live music and lots of BBQ

Similar to Bourbon St. in New Orleans. You can drink liquor in the street. Great bars and a whole lot of fun till the wee hours.

A little over hyped. If you want to eat on Beale go to blues city cafe across from bb kings. They have the best ribs on Beale.
