The place to be for the nightlife in Memphis. Many restaurants with live bands and even a small park with a blues band playing. I felt very safe there, even by myself because the police have a large presence there after 8:00 pm.

Always music playing somewhere. BB Kings Music Club is there and the food is awesome. Really can't go wrong. Gets packed in the evening.

I have live for over seventy years near Memphis--I have seen this city go down over this time. It used to be so clean and safe, it was a treat to go there when I was young. The city still has a few good attractions and they are worth seeing.

There will be no doubt what type of music you will find in each establishment as what is going on inside is relayed outside at maximum volume and each blends (probably not the right word!) into the next as you walk along....

A shorter version of Bourbon street with a different accent. Buy a beer. Walk down the street. Watch the crowd. Listen to the music.
So much to do and see. Had a great time. Everyone was so friendly and energetic. The only complaint is that there was not enough things for kids to do.
