Bars on Beale

[volwindy]

Okay, sounds like Central it is!

I like the Flying Saucer. A hundred plus beers on tap

This place is fun.

Jerry Lee Lewis' Cafe & Honky Tonk. Check out Joey Trites and The Memphis Flash.

I know this is about bars, but what about BBQ near Beale or downtown Memphis??That is where we are staying Friday night and would like to know what is the best!

Memphis BBQ Co on Goodman road in Southaven. You're welcome.

ok, Windy...I'll defer to those with more experience

I swear, Rendezvous must have the most dichotomous reputation of any restaurant. I ate there many times when I lived in Memphis and never had a bad meal. If I ever return to that God-forsaken hellhole of a city, I'll go there again. There are as just as many people who love it as there are that hate it.

It's not that it's bad, it's that it's horrendously overrated. People talk about it like it's the end all, be all of Memphis que. In reality, it MIGHT be top 5, but it prices like it's a 5* barbecue eatery. Also, it's upsetting to see travelers eat there, when you want them to experience the best the town has to offer.

All we have is barbecue. You put your best foot forward, and the best foot isn't Rendezvous.

Rendezvous is good to people who aren't from Memphis. They think it's the best BBQ they've ever had. In reality, it doesn't crack the top 5 in Memphis' best.

I couldn't agree more.

I'd go to Interstate, too

It's been a while, but wasn't A&R pretty good, too?

 

[MphsBlues]

Get Memphians talkin' 'bout BBQ and the discussion gonna go on for a while

A&R, Interstate, and Memphis BBQ Company are better. Paynes and cozy corner probably are too.

Never had it. Also, add One and Only to the list too

 

[MphsBlues]

I gotta try A&R. Is that the one on Kirby?

That's One and Only. There's also one on Perkins Extended by Oak Court.
