If you're looking for a fun drink on Beale Street, you come to Wet Willie's! This place reminds me a lot of Bourbon Street in NOLA. The big, frozen, fruity cocktails you can get in all kinds of flavors! Here, you can combine flavors also to make some interesting concoctions. Just because I'm a sucker for a good frozen drink, this might be one of my fave new drink spots in downtown Memphis.

This is downtown Memphis. You need to pay for parking at a parking garage or find limited street parking. I always find free parking on the Wet Willies end of Beale Street. This venue is essentially a wall of slushie machines with alcohol pre-mixed in. They do have some non-alcoholic options. Large drinks cost $11 each. They frequently have a long line that moves quick. Staff is always friendly. Drinks are always tasty and strong. I have not tried the food here but others seem to really like it.

Pink flamingo (strawberry / pink colada)
T. G.

On a work trip and we had to stop by! Drinks were extra sweet but they had a lot of fun flavors- really liked the selection and was glad I got a small. The pink flamingo- strawberry / pina colada was delish. Would recommend!! Fun spot!!

Call me a cab, shock treatment and attitude adjustment. Drink with caution.

Good place to get a frozen drink. Staff is friendly. Cost isn't too bad for the sizes. Our first time trying I asked the young girl what she suggested. She said call me a can, shock treatment and attitude adjustment. I did not know these were all three if their strongest drinks. I was zooted in about 5 minutes. LOL! We went back the next day and my drink was much more tolerable. We tried the chips and queso. It was a decent appetizer for $8. If you're looking for a good frozen drink you can walk around with or a quick buzz this is the place. $11 for small, $12 for medium and $13 for a large. They do have reusable cups as well. My only complaint is that the bathrooms are kind of gross.

Tequila wings
Mary-kate Q.

Wings are the best thing to get when your wasted the tequila sauce is the bomb.com. Better than the strip club. Love that you guys have chicken tacos now . Don't remember how long it took for the food to come out my server kept me entertained the employees are extremely funny. Day drinking on Beale is the best.

If you like drinks that are so sweet you cannot taste the alcohol, this is the place for you. Their slushies are super refreshing in the Memphis heat, and you'll feel like you're getting a delicious treat. Plus, you can take your drink and walk around historic Beale Street! Pro tip: reserve a parking spot ahead of time using an app like Spot Hero.

Just going to give a quick shoutout to the best place for a cold strong drink on Beale. I've been coming here since my first night in town over a decade ago. My friends popped in here on Sunday night with some out of town guests. This was a party pleaser overall.

Bob Marley
Celeta S.

I'll never pass up an opportunity to get a slushy from Wet Willie's. The Bob Marley is my absolute favorite. It's refreshing and it's pretty to look at. It's always a conversation starter. People ask what you're having and order themselves one. The location is cool. I was able to take some nice pics outside of some Memphis sites so I had a great time. Beale Street is always a good time and Wet Willie's makes it even better.

Keep your head strong and your Willie's wet

Everybody loves Wet Willies. I do you do we all do. Much better than the dry kind. Come in here for some nice alcohol and fun times and some cute people right in the heart of Beale Street and always plenty of fun. Definitely one of the better experiences in Memphis in terms of nightlife, and right in the middle of all the action.

Bacon burger

when I say this is hands down one of the best juiciest burgers ever. I was kinda scared of paying $15 for a burger but it was working every bite from the fries to the bacon

Chicken Tenders

10 out 10, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED After visiting Memphis on vacation, the staff at Wet Willies really has me planning on visiting Beale St for sure. China and Chantay made me feel like I wasn't a tourist and suggested plenty of things to do while I was here and even the manger, Marques, recommended his personal favorite mix and kept me laughing with his wit. Between the hospitality,above & beyond customer service, great drinks, and amazing food Wet Willies is a true gem of Beale St.

Erin M.

So being from Louisiana I know a good daiquiri and this is a good daiquiri. There are many options to choose from as far as flavor and size. It is a bit overpriced but it is on Beale street so that's kind of expected. They also have a food menu if you would like something to snack on while down Beale. The service is prompt and they get you in and out. Come here and chill out. Drinks are strong and worth it.

Call a Cab w/Mango
Jess P.

You can never pick a bad drink from here, WW has some pretty good tasting daiquiri's, the names of the slushies are hillarious. They all seem to pack some punch! Of all the drinks offered on Beale Street, we were familiar with this place so at least have an idea of what we were going to get. I got the call a cab mixed with mango and I thought it tasted really good, I did a large which was about ten bucks. I drank the majority of it, you can't leave the street vicinity with drinks so I did end up throwing my cup away. They seemed to move the line pretty fast. . so we didnt wait long.

Kooky Canuck in downtown Memphis is an absolute blast. If you're looking for somewhere with a fun,…read morehigh-energy atmosphere and portions that do not mess around, this is the spot. The Vibe: It's got that quirky, Canadian lodge feel that immediately sets a fun, relaxed mood. Great spot for grabbing a beer, catching a game, or hanging out with a group right near the action downtown. The Food: You come here hungry. The burgers are massive and cooked right, the comfort food hits the spot, and you pretty much have to get an order of poutine while you're there. The Service: Even when it gets packed--which it frequently does--the staff keeps a great attitude, moves fast, and makes sure you're well taken care of.

The rebranding would have been a better choice for our tastes, with big foot. The theme now is a trophy lodge sort of thing! The food is good, this is a Memphis original here. The food was great! The menu has all sorts of interesting things that are unique to the area. Having some food allergies they made me something off menu. This is a great choice to complement anything you do in the evening of Memphis. The staff was great, and pricing was excellent!

Wow...just wow! This is a beautiful restaurant that's only open for dinner. It's definitely a…read moredress-to-impress kind of place, with excellent service and very unique food. The idea of serving "flights" of entrees with three small plates equaling the size of one main entree...so cool! And you can mix and match, though I opted for the traditional Fish flight. This included haddock on a delicious rock shrimp risotto, Chilean sea bass (delicious) over black rice, and some salmon over a puree. Everything was amazing...and even the three small plates were more than enough food. I do wish we'd saved room for the dessert flight.

Alright, lets get into this…read more.. Walking in I was pleasantly surprised...Flight is in a tough location because parking isnt exactly ideal but as soon as you walk up, a hostess opens the door and welcomes you in. I didnt get photos of the restaurant but they have a really cool split floor design, we got to sit upstairs. I recommend you sit upstairs it possible because the first floor gets louder faster if that makes sense. Plenty of very attentive and friendly staff so you will need for nothing while you are there. Now for the food...we started off with the SNAKE RIVER FARMS WAGYU CARPACCIO. It was . My only critique if I had one; I wish it had a little more carpaccio. Now before I get into entree's let me explain how "Flight" works...You can order a single large entree for dinner, orrrrrrr, if you're like me and LOVE food, you can order a flight of three smaller portions of the entree's! Bring your appetite (and your platinum card). I ordered a three entree flight of Bison Ribeye, roasted duck breast and the chilean sea bass. I would rank them in that order although they were all delicious. That bison tho.... The wife ordered a three entree flight of the prime ribeye, sea scallops, and the twin lobster tails. She wasnt a huge fan of the prime ribeye, she said it was a little tough. She loved the scallops and lobster (although she will never forgive herself for dropping a huge piece of lobster on the floor). Oh and her scallops came with this gnocchi that was TO DIE FOR!!!! We finished the night off with a three dessert flight of pistachio mousse, lava cake and apple walnut cobbler. The pistachio mousse was light and refreshing on a hot summer day. She loved her apple cobbler. We werent huge fans of the lava cake. It just didnt have that nostalgic lava cake taste and texture. That and the peppermint gelato it came with was very strong on the peppermint. Im sure some would love it but it just wasnt for us. Last piece Ill mention is just the effort and attention to detail. It was our anniversary and they brought us complimentary glasses of champagne (thank you). They are very deliberate in how they move, their table settings and our server knew her restaurant like a pro. Even down to the way they stage your silverware knowing how their flight plates take up table space. Bravo, Great experience! Definitely a little too pricey to be a frequent spot, but great for special occasions!

Later during the meal, he admits that Momma's is one of his spots, so that's saying a lot. It sort of looked like another bar/restaurant from the outside, but they have a nice outdoor patio overlooking an old decrepit building which is at least some scenery. Once inside, you'll quickly see it's highly decorated and has a claim to be one of the only trucker themed bars in the US. Inside is decked out to the ceilings with signs, neon, old mirrors, collectibles, and many other items. I swear it looks like it's been in business for 30+ years, but my client said only a couple of years. I looked over the basic menu and saw burgers, breakfast, salads, sandwiches, a famous pork chop, wings and a few other items. The client and my colleague quickly ordered devilled eggs, cheese curds, and chili cheese fries. The first two apps were really good, I didn't try the fries though. They had a burger of the day, and a food special of the day, but I settled on the wings. With those I chose the 10 pc, Buffalo with dry rub, smoked. Kind of a weird combination since most people usually order dry here apparently, but I like saucy wings. When they come out, they are huge and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish them. I think I could only eat 6-7. My colleague had a ribeye steak salad which was a protein bomb he loved, and my 2 clients ordered a big rig grilled cheese which he also loved and a fried chicken sandwich (firebird) which looked really good. Overall, I really liked this place and it's one of the best meals I've had in Memphis the handful of times I've visited.

I'd give the food a 5 star rating. Wings, burger and chicken sandwich were all excellent. But the…read moredine in experience was a zero for my 58 year old self. We sat at a table in the bar area as it was humid outside. To say we didn't fit in was an understatement.
