Oldest bar in town. Only serves beer (you can bring your own liquor/wine). It sorta feels like drinking in your grandmas smoke den.

Last authentic juke joint in Memphis (as far as I know). Open weekends only, but if you're looking for something more authentic than Beale - this is your spot! They only serve 40s, and chicken.

Sightseeing

Recently renovated and so amazingly powerful. This museum is in the motel where Martin Luther King Jr was shot and is probably the single most important thing to experience during your Memphis trip.
