Memphis felt like a ghost town. Barely any people were on the street except some homeless. No one was in the trolley. Very few tourists. Even with COVID, I was expecting a little more to be going on than there was on a Thursday evening. Beale Street is quiet and quite colorful and has potential to be a loud, good time...I hope it gets revived somehow!

This is a fun area to walk around, have a few drinks and eat. The music starts in the early evening.Most of the neon signs are in good shape & most of them still light up. Great history.

Live music and food is the soul of this venue. We all hope the COVID-19 will go away and tourists return to full force. I will wait to return.

About 3 blocks of bars/restaurants. Closes at 10pm, not sure if thats because of covid or not. Was ok. Cops were everywhere so its safe.

So much to see. I went during the pandemic cv19 went on Thursday night before labor day weekend. Alot of the shops were closed. Some bars were open. I got 2 insomniac cookies and alot of great pictures of the neon lights. There were Memphis pd at every intersection.

It was an off night, Thursday, but had friends in town for work. Started at Wiseacre brewery, my favorite, then around 8:30, we struggled to find a restaurant open. We ended up on Beale St at Blues City. Being from Memphis, I dont spend much time on Beale for the tourist but we had a great time and great food.

Can you say good..... A bloody good time! Man oh man did we have a blast here.

We visited on Saturday to have lunch at BB KINGS and did a little walking around. Not everything was open, not sure if that is Covid related or what. I can see and feel the energy and the history on Beale street and Im drawn to the diversity and welcomes that we were greeted with. Id love to return and see it on full swing. But definitely visit BB KINGS and enjoy a phenomenal meal.

It was so fun! We went to a few restaurants and had appetizers and drinks. So much fun walking down the street , listening to the blues and other live music.

The music, food, shops, and people are awesome! They even have flippers that will do all kinds of flips and 1 got my nephew, sister, and another person together and jumped over all 3 of them. He could have jumped over at least 1 other person. He, and all the flippers, are great!

Always a pleasure to visit one of Memphis most well known landmarks. Great food, great people and the best entertainment available.

Beale Street on Nov 8 2020. And its 80 outside and sunny. Only good thing covid did is make Beale Street not so crowded

It was a nice walk. Due to covid, it was pretty empty.

Dirty and desolate.Good history and would have love to visit 30 years ago. This time when we went it was dirty, half the retail slots were closed, just looks like it hit hard times.

We had such a good time here. So many things to do and places to eat its overwhelming. Souvenirs Galore with tributes to all the greats they got their start here in Memphis.After you ate her fill and bought all the souvenirs your pocketbook and handle there are always Street entertainers to keep you busy. A good place to bring the family.

It was a wednesday, so not as many people, service was great, live music as always, wide variety of food and drinks. Great for get to know you dinner or just lets get out the house Covid fatigue.

Great place for bars or tourist shops. Better to go for a bar crawl at night.

So much fun everybody was just having a great time music was amazing and food was even better I definitely will be going back again

Nice place to walk through. Interesting characters entretining the tourist.

Great place to experience! Music and food are so great you cant just go once!

Loved it went to the Tin roof for Birthday dinner and I enjoyed all . I will be back

I was pretty disappointed. Its much smaller than we expected. Insomnia Cookies was amazing. Its probably tons better in non-COVID state.

Very very cool area. Its especially pretty at night with all of the blue lights. There are good restaurants, good music, and good history.

Great bbq and music! Most businesses are now open, still have to wear ur mask.

Very nostalgic, great live music venues

Good drinks, good food and much fun is to be done on Beale Street Best time every Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Great place to grab a frozen drink and listen to great live music .

This place is great for all ages. Before it gets dark for kids and teens, and all day for people over 21. There are stores, the withers collection museum and so many restaurants. And the Beale Street flippers are amazing.

Always a great time here! Great food! Never a disappointment! You can eat anything from BBQ to Cajun style food. Great music!

Definitely worth a trip to Beale Street. Really enjoyed the stores and the BBQ. The A Schwab store is fantastic- so much to see- nostalgic toys and some really funny stuff too. Don’t forget to go upstairs. And definitely BB Kings for BBQ and live blues music.

Despite Corona/Wu Flu hoax, heard a plethora of great music coming from venues still open.Stop at Pigs for BBQ ribs!!!!!! Without a doubt one of the top three BBQ joints I have ever been to. I spent 10 minutes sucking the sauces off my fingers so I could get every ounce. Yuengling beer!! (Not available in my state....yet) Totally worth the trip.

Even though the energy felt dead due to COVID, this place was still fun to see and walk down! Exciting sights, fun signs, cool murals, a bunch of sights to see. You can’t miss out on this if you’re in Memphis. I can’t imagine how fun and exciting this place is when people are out and about and stores are open!

Did not like the homeless people trying to sell stolen items and when I was going to give the man a few bucks he wanted more so I just told him to go on he wasnt getting anything. Food prices and drinks are outrageous for the amount of food u get and very little alcohol in the high priced mixed drinks..a lot of restaurants were closed but it was on a weekday but if your going to have a establishment on Beale it should be open

Its a cool looking place. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, so that and COVID restrictions has probably led to it being less busy. It was neat to check out though.

Great places to eat and listen to live music. Memphis Barbecue everywhere...so you cant go wrong.

Whats not to love? If you love to eat, drink, listen to music, dance and just have a great time...this is the place. And the shops are great too!

Nice place to walk around and lots of shops with several food options as well.

Wonderful my favourite place or shall I say the only place I eat at. Great food, good hospitality and all the bands are excellent. Im a big fan of B B King and I love the blues. Perfect tourist spot

Always a good time when we go here. This time was weird. No people really and just seemed so empty and not the fun live music everywhere feel anymore. Hope we can overcome all this and get back to the good times.

My new mini vacation spot!

Fun to Roam. A. Schwab is a blast from the past and the fudge store was awesome. Great food to choose from and good music. I did a food tour with Tastin Around Town. I highly recommend taking one if their tours your first day in town. Lots of food and Memphis history.

A bit of everything for everyone. Lots of spots to hear great live music, plus get food and drinks. Fun during the day, but night gives an extra exciting element with all the neon and colors. Can get very crowded, even during the week, so be prepared for crowds, and expect to park several blocks away.

Very beautiful place in Memphis!! I love how the community gets together! Very beautiful. They also have festivals and celebrate holidays here. Even on St. Patrick’s day

We came through during the day, so I cant really comment on the atmosphere, but I can imagine the energy on a hoppin Saturday night! This is one of the most historic streets in America- dont miss it

Looks like it could be a very fun place, we went in late October during Covid-19 pandemic which left for a very non crowded place. I think we maybe saw 20 other people there on the streets. Not many places open but we were able to get some souvenirs for the grand kids and I even enjoyed the Elvis shake. I hope we can get through this covid thing so places like this can get back to the thriving destinations they are meant to be.

Loved being here. It is safe, well protected by police, and colorful. Music and eateries everywhere. So colorful.

First time being here, and its awesome! Even with the covid and not too many people out, its still a great time.

I had so much fun. This was my first time in Memphis, Tennessee. This trip was all the hype that I had seen on the Travel channel. You get a little bit of history, great food and great night life.

Definitely 1 of the most iconic streets in Memphis TN. Great food, great people, great vibes, and music is one of a kind experience. Home of the jazz and blues. A must visit for sure.

World class entertainment! Good to visit when the venues have live music! Keep your eyes open as you never know who you will see.

Very cool street fun to walk down

Great place to visit. Lots of history here for those interested. This is and always has been the happening place to be.

The people are so real. Genuine people. Plenty of safety officers.

I was Ten feet off Beale the whole time. Must go if you want to float around the street. Great music and food everywhere. Little shops for the souvenir lovers too.

Not to bad for first time being here

Awesome! Must see if in Memphis. Reminded me off a smaller, cleaner Bourbon street.

Even with covid this place was awesome.

Very alive at night! Even during COVID-19 (visited in October 2020) time it was crowded, many police all around, and all of the souvenir shops and restaurants were open with live music! Recommended to wear masks throughout.

It was the first time Ive seen Beale empty, but all the shops are cute!

We headed to Beale Street while visiting Memphis. There is a great selection of bars and restaurants playing a variety of Live Music throughout the day and night. We visited a number of bars and really enjoyed the time we spent there. This place is worth visiting if you are ever in the area.

My daughter and I had a blast riding the OJO motor scooter. The city closes Riverside off on the weekend for more riding enjoyment. The only negative was the fact that my daughters 1st scooter DID NOT have breaks and we were headed down hill when she found out. We took that scooter back to the docking station and simply signed into another one. I believe they gave her a discount for it. You must go experience this.UPDATE10/28/2020 Spoke to my daughter today only to find out that OJO gave her a full refund for those breaks... Thats just awesome concerned customer service. Oh yeah dont forget to take your fun family members downtown Memphis to enjoy the OJO ride. Have a blast!!!

Not too crowded. Had good food at Bb King Blues club

The Beale Street entertainment district is quite a sight to see even during the COVID pandemic. There is music blasting out from many places. Many if not all the restaurants were checking temperatures, offering masks and hand sanitizer. Most of the places were closed because of the pandemic. I do recommend stopping at the insomniac coffee shop.

Some place are Ok. Some are not.Good amount of police, so you feel safe.Staff in shops is friendly.

A missed opportunity. Memphis is a ghost town. Should encourage families to spend the day here with restaurants setting up tables on the street and hace street crafts and art.

First time visiting Beale Street. Would of loved to see more of the city buy due to the storm coming we needed to leave. Tons of history, streets were pretty clean. If you drive around you can find cheap parking as low as $5

Very cool! Its an absolute must do if youre anywhere near the area. Street performers, bars, restaurants, live music, shops. Beale Street has it all. The history is incredible. Horse drawn carriage rides are available around the surrounding downtown area. Place was hopping & this was a Tuesday.

Its been a while since I was out and about in the Downtown Area and to see there is no longer Tri-State Bank you know it has been a long time not knowing it is not there anymore. Its different to mingle with the tourist who are amongst us in Memphis. Just getting a feel for life with Coronavirus still in effect.

Amazing place and history is alive and well here! I will definitely be back

It looked run down and dirty. Dirty windows. Places needed painting and fixing up. But it was Beale St. Always an exciting place to visit. My wife does not want to go again. Too dirty she said. They need to fix it up.

Never been before here. But I had read a lot of about Elvis Presley, BB King and Martin Luther King Junior. You need to dig into it when you have visited this place (City). Freedom and rocknroll are so excited here. God bless US and bless Memphis.

Pretty cool overall but I wish they had more live comedy.

Had a great time, music was good and the atmosphere was great, the staff treated us very well

More than half Beale St was closed and nothing was going on. In all fairness, we were there on Tuesday night.

Wasnt bourbon street ...being a native..but I enjoyed myself..security was definitely a priority there...music and found was really good...

Great food and experience. Gotta go get some

Lots to do and great eats on Beale street. Awesome live music in an excellent setting

We really liked the atmosphere. Wish more was open tho. People need to get out and support the neighborhood. Everywhere we went everyone was adhering to regulations.

Everything was nice and calm. Not too crowded was able to practice social distancing and still enjoy myself

We love Beale Street the entertainment the food the bands people watching its all excellent in a great time and weve never felt unsafe. It is a busy crowded tourist section you have to watch your back but its great entertainment and a lot to do and see

Great place to visit and get some drinks while also learning about memphis, be advised that some alcoholic drinks pack a heavy punch !!

We stopped into Memphis without any real plan and all the museums and shops were already closed. Without knowing what else to do, we headed to Beale Street. It was a weeknight so it wasnt crowded. The restaurant we wanted to try turned out to be more of a bar so we ended up eating elsewhere. It was a cool vibe but probably more for adults and not so much for our 7yo and 11yo kids. We didnt spend a whole lot of time there but it was cool to see.

I love it it has so much stuff to do and see I cant wait to go back again

Beale Street entertainment district definitely a stop if youre into blues. Theres a few interesting souvenir shops along the way and of course restaurants and bars everywhere definitely a place to go at night . Its just not the same during the day with out the neon Lights. Unless youre staying within walking distance be prepared to pay for parking. surface lots are about 8 to $10 for the night but it is downtown so it should be expected.

It was fun but everybody had to wear masks and everything close down at 10:30

Nice area to see the spirit of Memphis

Definitely a place to check out when visiting Memphis. Had a great time.

Always busy... Glad to see Handys house is still here since my last visit 10 years ago...

So much fun - no matter where you go. Lots of music food and libations.Be sure to check out BB Kings for the nachos, Silky O’Sullivans for the goats, Blues City Cafe for amazing food/music/ and BEST service on the block.

Beale Street is two blocks of semi dirty bars and overstuffed, cheap souvenir shops. After 20 minutes, we were ready to leave. Perhaps fun if you are just looking to get drunk and party.

Home of the blues... By the Mississippi River.,..

Got to meet new people from alot of different places the food was awesome the music was great.

While it has certainly changed since its heyday, Beale Street is still a fun and entertaining place to visit. Listen to Blues music inside great bars or outside in the square. And watch the colourful characters. A must see for tourists. I certainly enjoyed my long evening there a few weeks ago.

Slow during the cov.19. But over all still an exciting place to be. Food,fun and music

Had a BLAST HERE. lots of love music great BBQ, and welcoming staff.

Everything was amazing the people were friendly I enjoyed the shopping experience

Great place to enjoy the night life of Memphis. Closed off road sections with numerous bars that feature a wide variety of music including blues, country, jazz and classic rock. Nice mix of people and ages. Most bars don’t have cover charges and drink prices seem reasonable. There is a nice presence of law enforcement.

Completely empty when i went maybe because it was Sunday or maybe because of covid, I dont know

Between Beale Street in Memphis and Nashville, I was in music heaven. The vibe was authentic and easy going. I preferred this to Vegas. Be sure to pop by the Tin Roof for well priced beer, great live music and no cover charge. There were a few vagrants about which concerned me at first but they were behaving themselves and the police maintained a good presence.

So much fun! The restaurants are top notch and there are plenty of cool shops to visit. The vibe is very much alive just as youd hope Beale Street would be.
