Great BBQ, live music, and museums

maybe the 79th playing of Don't Be Cruel, etc.
In a nutshell
OK, come to hear good blues & Elvis mania but also experience the overall good vibes around the city
21 Reviews Beale Street is the heart of Downtown Memphis, and the birthplace of the Blues. Now home to live music venues, wonderful Southern restaurants, bars, souvenier shops, and festivals - there is a lot to see and do here. Walking distance to/from the Peabody Hotel, AutoZone Park (home of the AAA baseball...
58 Reviews Although I suppose there must be other things to see, I can't imagine why you'd go to Memphis and not visit Graceland! Well, obviously this was the main reason that I went there. Seeing it in person is interesting because it's really a lot smaller than I had imagined. Plus, it's surrounded by a...
14 Reviews and 490 Opinions I was booked at the Peabody for a conference there; but when I arrived (at nearly midnight) they...
13 Reviews You really have to appreciate a restaurant that labels a dish in its menu the "Main Thing"! It really does take a lot of guesswork out of ordering. With that, my friend TK and I both ask the whistling waiter at Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous for a full-order of pork ribs each and a pitcher of Ghost...
7 Reviews We had lunch here during the work week. The place was packed with locals and after our first bite we knew why. Outstanding BBQ. Pick either the dry (a Memphis specialty) or the more traditional wet BBQ. I had a combination platter and made the mistake of eating all of it. Had a hard time keeping my...
17 Reviews Fun bands playing live in the street, and occasional acrobats performing tricks. A lot of good restaurants and bars. You can bring open drinks outside, so long as they're in a plastic cup. Perfectly safe; no traffic and plenty of police. Wear absolutely whatever you want. But do wear something.
11 Reviews Silky's... that took me back to 1978 when me an 3 other fellow airmen took a jaunt down there from Blytheville AFB Ark.we each came back with a bucket(Which caught up with us the next day), and also a lot of great memories. I would return there in a flash if i could, that's how much we enjoyed the...
16 Reviews Antique trolleys serve downtown from North Main Street's Pinch District to South Main Street's Orpheum Theatre to within one block of the National Civil Rights Museum. Call for hours. All day passes can be purchased from operators for $2.00. Exact fare required. Main Street Trolley 547 North Main...
6 Reviews One of the first things we saw when we came across the bridge to Memphis, was the monorail station near the visitor's center. Each time we went by, we tried to figure out how it would work. It did look like we could walk across above the monorail. According to my tourist guide, the monorail would...
7 Reviews Peabody Place is part of a downtown renewal effort that includes complexes of restaurants, shops and apartments. We saw it from the sightseeing van, but did not go in. Monday-Saturday, 10:00 AM to 12:30 AM Sunday, 11:00 AM to 10:30 PM Movies may start as late as 12:30 AM Monday-Saturday and as late...
2 Reviews There are all kinds of shops on Beale Street. From your typical t-shirt souvenir shops, to music stores, to craft stores. We went in every one we saw, looking for nothing in particular. We bought a few things, but mostly had fun looking through all of the unique merchandise! In addition, the vendors...
7 Reviews Elvis will always be a part of our history, and I remember hearing stories about him, as I was growing up in Memphis, Tennessee. I was just a teenager when I heard the news about his death. I cried. I admired the man for his generous nature and of course, his many talents. I had wanted to see him in...
5 Reviews May is quite possibly the best time to visit Memphis. It's finally warmed up & Memphis in May is back! Memphis in May is a festival we have been celebrating here in Memphis for many years. Each year a different country is selected for us to celebrate. People representing that country are brought to...
4 Reviews I took this trip with two of my college track teammates...three younger girls. We went out every night, walked back to the hotel in the wee hours of the morning, and drove through the run-down part of town to get to Graceland. And had no problems AT ALL. Were nervous for maybe the first five minutes...
5 Reviews Graceland is always busy with visitors and the mediation garden where Elvis is buried is a must see but is never quiet whilst the tours are on. You are allowed to take a camera with you, but no video cameras. Graceland open the gates at 7am until 8am every morning. You are allowed to walk up to the...
3 Reviews It seems like this is the attraction for children under the age of 5 and adults over the age of 60. We got pushed out of the way by BOTH groups. We arrived about 20 minutes early and had a decent position, until people started weaseling in front of us. They make a big spectacle for about 10 minutes...
7 Reviews If you have a chance and like history, check out the Woodruff-Fontaine House at 680 Adams Ave. They are open Wednesday thru Sunday and they have limited hours so check their website but it is worth it. The place is so beautiful and I thought I had stepped into another era. It was owned by one of...
7 Reviews I lived close to this park, and walked in it probably 4-5 times a week. My wife was going to the College of Art during the day, and alot of times we would eat at one of the close-by restaurants in Overton Square. This is the largest park in Memphis and a really nice place to picnic, walk, bike,...
4 Reviews This is the park for the minor league Redbirds. It has a number of features including Redbirds fans enjoy: * An Open Concourse allowing them to never lose sight of the game * The Wolfchase Toyota Picnic Pavilion hosting as many as 500 fans * Lawn seating on the Bluff (Please Note: No Chairs...
10 Reviews Cheesey? Of course, but you have to go to Graceland if you're going to be in Memphis. Follow the visit with a stop at Beale Street for lunch or dinner. I'm sure you've heard this before, but Graceland is TINY! They give you headphones that explain the rooms and you walk through at your own pace. I...
8 Reviews Where do i start there are so many places to go to it has to be Graceland Elvis presleys home. Also Sun studios. and Beale street. My fondest memory was when I walked through the gates at Graceland for the first time and to be able to go inside Graceland it will be something i will never forget. I...

We limped into Memphis with a car that would not accelerate, and stopped at the visitor's center. We had to leave our car at the repair shop for several days and during that time we explored Memphis.
