    If no one is smoking, this place has a great vibe. I had a Budweiser. My wife had a watermelon-something cocktail, and thought it was delicious. The band was cool, so make sure you have some cash to put in the bucket that gets passed around --especially since there's no cover.

    The singer said "Keep drinking, it gets better!"

    Great Blues venu, as authentic as they come! This is the real deal, once in you are transported to the era of Blues' greats. The band is amazing, and the combination of the music, the old brick walls, old pictures, and the patina on the bar counter and tables give the place a unique vibe, hard to describe, it's an experience you have to live to understand. I absolutely recommend this place, don't leave Memphis without having lived this experience!

    Blues Hall is the best place to hang out if you appreciate gritty awesome music. Be sure to get there early to claim your seat. The food is excellent and staff is really cool.

    Amazing Band with Singing Drummer

    If you want to hear some amazing music this is the place to go! I went here with some colleagues after a retreat and we fell in love with the live band that had a singing drummer. They performed some of my favorites including Prince and Journey. I loved! It was exceptional. Great drinks, cool crowd, very very exciting establishment.

    Stopped in at the Blues Hall recently and had a good, but brief visit. The staff were super. Neat old blues bar atmosphere. The young man playing guitar and singer was pretty good too!

    Maybe it was the band or the acoustics, maybe the nostalgia, whatever it was we sat down and 3 hours passed in a flash. If you are going to Beale St. for the blues you have to make a stop at the Juke Joint Blues Hall.

    One of the Best places on Beal Street! This is the Heart of real Live Memphis Blues Rock. Part of the Rum Boogie Club it is still stands by its self. Food is good but better to eat in the Boogie and suck up the juice in the Blues Hall. Bartenders in the Juke are tops, they keep you topped off and are always ready to do for you. So tip them Well! And if Jeremy is working that's my Boy Tip him REAL WELL!!! Live Music!!! In the Hall you are with the band when they play. The Hall is a wonderful strip and real personal. When the band go's on brake they will come to meet you! Some of the Best Bands that are Patrick Dodd Trio, Darren J Band and the rest of the lineup will not let you down! Patrick Dodd Trio, is a must see, so if you love Music Do not Miss Patrick if you do it is a life blunder! Patrick Dodd on vocals will bring you back time and time again. This guy has real Soul and his Heart is made of Gold! Landon Moore can play the bass like I've never seen anyone do before! He could keep up with the best! Harry Peel on Drums brings the past to life in Future Blues!! If you see anything on Beal Street Patrick Dodd Trio should be on the top of your list! http://www.patrickdoddtrio.com/ Darren J Band puts the Fire in the Hall! When you're in the Hall with this Band You feel like it's you and just the band. Darren Falls Mother gave birth to him and his guitar, you have to think her for this! Laura Cupit on Bass makes you feel like Wonder Woman has taken over the stage. Playing with the real fire of sex and a bass sound you have got to feel!!! W.C. Garrison on Drums sets the beat for the show, You will truly enjoy what he brings... So Don't forget the DRUMER!! Tell Harry too!! http://www.darrenj.com/home.cfm Now if you thank that's all they got for live music you have your head under a rock! But with all that said James watches the Door. Tip him when you can, he will make sure the door is safe and if anyone gets in the way of your good time, James can take care of that too!!!

    Killing it!

    This place was everything I hoped to get out of a trip to Memphis. First off the blues was amazing. We traveled to some other spots first and they were fine but super touristy--this place was gritty, raw, and unapologetically authentic. I loved it. Everyone was loving the music and in a good mood. I got the fried pickles and they were great. Can't wait to come back

    See all

    Cameo hands down is the best place to get drinks & don't count out their bar food…read more Me and my girls decided to do All Day Happy Hour which are on Monday and it didn't miss. The service was great and the drinks were even better. We tried the Mai Tai, porn star martini , frosted Jake to name a few. The star of the show for me was the Frosted Jake. It was very refreshing surprisedly. And a huge shoutout to our bartender - I believe her name was Max!!!! Keep her on board. She is everything and so nice. Don't miss this spot at all.

    Another Friday outing with the girls took us to Cameo for happy hour…read more It was a little empty as we arrived right at 4p but it didnt stay that way for long as I can see why. The place is small but inviting. The music playing through the speakers was like they had my spotify synced. All of my favs were playing. (Shoutout to whoever was respnaible for Melanie Fiona album The Bridge being in rotation. That's one of my favs). We were all pretty hungry so we ordered The Cameo Cheesburger and fries. It's a really nice sized burger and definitely will help soak up the "liquor" lol. From 4-7pm you get half off selected classic cocktails. I started with a French 75 and it definitely did its job. There is a cocktail on the menu called Rage Quit ($10) which simply states secret and danger. Well we decided to all try that and let's just say the danger snuck up on us lol I also had a Cosmo which was delicious as well. By this time we are felling really good but need to use the bathroom. We then discover there is a photobooth in the back area. It was pretty comical trying to get all 3 of us in the frame. We chatted with the staff afterwards to let them know that the we had a great experience. If you're looking for a nice happy hour spot, I highly suggest Cameo.

    I LOVE breweries so visiting this place on Beale was a no brainer…read more Like most breweries, they have a selection to choose from. The options are displayed on a large screen above the bar. I believe the place was empty when we took a seat at the bar but another party of 2 followed shortly behind and sat a little bit further down the bar. I tried something that sounded better than it tasted but ultimately this is a matter of personal preference and I have a high maintenance palate. The people next to us got wings, which looked good until they were dangerously close to a leak that had sprung from one of the exposed pipes above. They had to move to a table behind us and then some of the staff got a bucket to place on the bar to catch the dripping water but that made a very loud noise so then they put a towel inside of the bucket. I will admit that I have never experienced such a thing before. It looked like the pipe that was dripping had tape wrapped over that area so they had tried a "bandaid" fix in the past but it didn't work. Obviously, this does negatively impact the "ambiance" portion of the overall experience and getting the impression that this is an issue that could have been fully addressed previously but the decision was made not to. It wouldn't stop me from going back but it certainly isn't ideal.
