Itta Bena
Named for the tiny Mississippi town where B. B. King was born, this restaurant on the third floor of the blues legend's namesake nightclub seems more like a sophisticated speakeasy or a cabaret lounge than just another eatery. It's got dark lighting from blue chandeliers and windows that look down onto Beale Street, and a cozy bar that's perfect for enjoying a meal and drinks. Having a glass of wine or a cocktail here, above the rowdy blues club below, feels like a secret indulgence. Be aware that you must climb two flights of stairs to reach this bar, making it inaccessible to people in wheelchairs or for those with limited mobility.
