Tourists and natives alike count on a rockin' good times at B.B. King's Blues Club, named yearly in the Top 10 best bars in town. Located on booming Beale Street, B.B.'s caters to a packed house almost nightly in their impressive, two-story upscale club. Those looking for a down and dirty juke joint will be disappointed: B.B.'s offers a clean and classy venue for blues, booze and plenty of celebrities. Some of the city's finest entertainers, such as Joyce Cobb, the B.B. King All Stars or Ruby Wilson groove regularly while patrons show off their coordination skills on a large dance floor. Menu items include such Southern favorites as catfish, gumbo, BBQ ribs and other classics. If you come on the right night, the staff might even roll out the red carpet for a special performance by the namesake himself, B.B. King. A Memphis blues joint not to be missed, B.B.'s provides hours of entertainment on the city's most famous street. -- Thania Evans

The last time I was there the BarKays were singing. It's been a while. Probably the only place left to hear authentic Memphis music since Blues Alley closed down. Only problem is, if you want to have a conversation, you have to carry it outside, because brother, it's LOUD in there!

Bouncers Murdered Patron 1997
zandernat - 01/26/2006
In what all eyewitnesses concur was a wholy unprovoked attack, eight of the bouncers employed by BB King's Blues Club bludgeoned, suffocated and crused a young tourist to death on July 17, 1997. I personally don't want to go to a place where the employees murder the guests and I don't think anyone else would either, if they know about it. BB Kings has done everything they can to hush up the incident but the truth always comes out eventually. Be very, very careful if you go to this hell hole.

B.B. KING'S PLACE WAS FANTASTIC. THE LOCAL BAND PLAYED ALL OF THE AUDIENCES FAVORITES AND TOOK REQUEST THAT MADE EVERYONE FEEL PLEASED. CARL DREW BAND WAS GREAT. THE SERVICE WAS VERY GOOD AND THE FOOD WAS ALSO. I HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE BUT ME AND MY FAMILY CELEBRATED MY AUNT'S 50TH BIRTHDAY THERE. I AM IN MY EARLY THIRTIES AND DO NOT TYPICALLY LISTEN TO THE BLUES BUT AFTER GOING THERE A FEW WEEKS AGO I CAN DEFINITELY SAY I WILL BE BACK AND TELL OTHERS OF THE GREAT TIME ME AND MY FAMILY HAD AT THE GREAT B.B. KING'S PLACE. BRAVO!!!!

Some excellent live music. Ruby Wilson set not really blues orientated (Sade!)and she seemed to talk more than she sang but what a voice. Also saw Eugene Gales who rocked!Try the peanut and jam fried sandwich! Cover charge was $5 on the Friday and $10 on the Saturday. On a Friday get the Beale Street wrist band which gets you in to all the clubs for $10!
