Not what you would expect as a tourist spot but the history is right in your face. Went after a Trip to the National Civil Rights Museum (another MUST) and was suprised how good the burger was. OK maybe it was the fact that it was in what is touted as the most haunted place in Memphis or that the... More

We went for lunch, so I cannot speak for the nightlife. The atmosphere was cool, knowing some of the history. The building is old and you wonder how it is still standing, but that only adds to the experience. Make sure to check out the upstairs--the brothel! The food was good, but not great. Not a whole lot of choices;... More

I have several reasons why you should go in the day. First is that upon trying to walk down Main St. from Beale around midnight, my husband and I broke up a bunch of crack dealers. I won’t go into details but trust me, it happened. Stay on Beale after midnight. When you go in the day, it’s pretty much... More

Walked down from the Civil Rights Museum at around 2 on a Friday. Ordered a greasy but tasty soul burger and a beer. Then crept around the upstairs brothel area. If you like available light photography in old building where the history is literally peeling off the walls, then EH is for you.

i definitely would recommend checking out this place. it's a very old building that used to be a brothel, and you can tell that they haven't done a lot to fix it up or renovate it, which gives it a really cool but kind of creepy vibe. very unique. if you come here, definitely grab a drink upstairs where the...

This is listed as a piano bar but it is not at all. E&H is a one time brothel in the S. Main district. It has an awesome burger and the best juke box in Memphis. It gets very packed late night and if there is roon you can dance to some great Al Green. This is a local hang... More
