This is one of the most authentic juke joint experience youll ever have. If you love blues, you gotta go to Reds. Say Hi to Charles, the bartender - what a teddy bear!

If you like the blues ;)

There was a fabulous guitarist with a combo. His name was Anthony Big A Sherrod, and he could really play. This is an intimate setting where you are 10 ft from the musicians. People are dancing, and there were both locals and tourists from the US and international visitors. We were there in 2015, and the cover charge was $7. Not to be missed.

This place is a legit juke joint and definitely worth the visit when youre in Clarksdale. A wonderfully full calendar of local and visiting artists, many of whom stop in and will play a few tunes with visiting bands (Lucius Spiller joined in with Mark Muleman Massey when we were there - and Mark and his amazing band carried me when I was allowed to join in on the drums for a few songs). Beer available at the bar (thanks Charles!). Cover charge depends on whos playing.

Just one thing: go there !

This place couldnt have passed Code Inspection!! This had to have been an abandoned building they just opened up and charge people $10 to get in and the bathroom is worse than an Out House!! NASTYYY!!! OMG!!

Great blues in a small setting. A must if you are in Clarksdale!

If loves the blues you must visit here. We saw Mule Man. He was awesome!!!!! Best blues we saw while in Clarksdale.

Absolutely amazing place! Heard fantastic blues for 3 hours with stories, surprise guests and just really good blues. Can STRONGLY recommend!

Wow great experience just go.

So, you have the touristy blues destinations, and then you have the authentic real deal jukes. Reds is the latter. Food, beer, blues. That simple. Go in and act responsibly and have a fine time. Keep a lookout for upcoming events. They bring in more of the authentic blues performers than the other venues.

Great Juke Joint Blues

We arrived 2 songs before the end of the set and got kicked out just as we walked in from the dude who was playing because we tipped him our last 2$ and not 7$ each(!). He literally stopped the show. Thats not how tips work, especially when youre about to finish the set!

Red’s is the real deal for the blues. If you’re in the area or planning a trip to see the blues up close and personal, get on down to Red’s ASAP. Bring cash, tip the band, and the bartender!

The real deal for blues. Definitely worth the trip across the tracks!

This is home for me last joke joint standing

A blast from the past, different is an understatement. A must visit if you want the real Blues of the south.

WONDERFUL music. But the cleaning and maintenance crew must have died off 5 yrs ago. An experience you will long remember, I know I will. I would go again.

Was down at Reds a couple of years ago,made the journey just to be in a real, true,juke joint. Im a blues harp player from New Zealand and this was my pilgrimage,I was going there to listen,and maybe learn a little,I did,and also got to play with Bud Welch one night and a 1 hour set the next night with The Big A. I was humbled by their generosity. Quite frankly,this was my life time experience,every thing else doesnt quite measure up. If youre in the delta,go see Red!

Absolutely the coolest blues/juke joint anywhere. The whos who of blues have all played here and many more wish they could

Had a fantastic evening at Reds watching Terry Harmonica Bean play. Cold beer and great atmosphere.

This juke joint is a special place. It is historic and current at the same time. The music and enjoyment that happens here has happened many times before and will happen many times in the future. It is the antithesis of popular music and yet the base of popular music. A culture all its own, frequented by all walks of life. Cold beer, good barbecue and blues music are on the menu at Reds. Also, introduce yourself to Red Paden, proprietor extraordinaire. An experience required for street cred in most blues bars world wide.

Great food generous portions, awesome environment... Breakfast and Blues cant go wrong.

Change the e to a u and the s to an e.We had paid our cover charge plus threw money in the bucket first go-round plus bought beer.Band took a forever break (Big T and Family was a good band).Dark and RED neon in there so you cannot see all the things on the wall.2nd go-round of the bucket, we passed. Well, we got the royal treatment from Red.He came and sat right in front of us and stared. I never looked directly at him, but I could sensethat he was not pleased. I whispered to my friend for us to go, not really knowing what was up, but knew it had to do with the tip-bucket. I got up and went on out, thinking my friend was following. Finally when he came out he said that Red had jumped him about videoing. Everyone had seen us doing this almost as soon as we walked in. Not buying it. Just plain RUDE.

Reds is a classic Juke Joint where you can listen to really good live blues music. If you love the blues, Reds is the real deal!

Heard the review of Reds juke joint on NPR Weekend Edition and felt like I was there and it is a place would be great to go

Amazing if you love the blues this place is a must on your bucket list

The real thing: best juke joint on hwy 61.

Literally the best musicians Ive ever seen!!

Good music but pricey to get in...

Having read much about juke joints, and Reds in particular, as well as having purchased the documentary We Juke Up in Here DVD, we had a good idea of what Reds was all about. If you find yourself drawn to the Mississippi Delta and are looking for authentic live blues performed in an intimate setting, (which happens to be one of the best ways to experience any performance) then look no further than Reds! At first it is like walking into any small town local bar/club as an outsider, while some may be a little hesitant, relax and stroll on in. Just observe Reds one important cardinal rule: shoot no video. Observe that, behave yourself, buy a beer, have a chat with Red, soak in the atmosphere, relax, buy another beer, chat some more with Red, laugh, start to have a good time, buy another beer, laugh some more, and get in the mood for some good music. Kick back and enjoy the up close performance, drink beer, and enjoy something very unique. We stayed till the band finished (Lucious Spiller) and left out of there around 2am. And remember: Its hip to tip! Thanked Red, the band and were on our way having had an experience of a lifetime. Reds Is What It Is.....the Best!

Unbelievable! Youre in for a unique experience.,..

If youre hungry for authenticity, its as real as it gets.

The best place for real Blues.

The real thing going down at Reds, Clarksdale, dont miss it, Lucius Spiller when we were in town.... woah !

Superb night! We saw Big Al
