Restaurants along Beale Street and Main Street
Downtown Memphis has many well-known restaurants along Main Street and Beale Street, including Blues City Café and B.B. King's Blues Club, which are popular barbeque joints with live blues music. “Locals go to Beale Street just to walk through the nightlife and restaurants; even if it’s touristy, it still has a good vibe,” says Mike Parker, local real estate expert with The Firm. Those who prefer a more upscale experience can make a reservation at The Majestic Grille, which used to be a theater venue and features steakhouse classics, and the establishment still runs films on the background screen. Additional options include Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous and Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar. “Bardog Tavern is a really popular watering hole. It’s regionally famous but not touristy; it’s a local joint,” Parker says. Residents can shop for groceries at the farmers market every weekend, or go to City Market and Walgreens for everyday needs. Kroger is at Midtown Shopping Center, and Target is about 10 miles away.
