Wild Bill's
Beer sells by the quart, but you'll have to bring your own hard liquor to this gritty urban juke joint that's also as many light-years away from the glitz of Beale Street as you can get. Locals and rhythm-and-blues-loving tourists pack the nondescript room and sit in hard-back chairs at long tables before the band stars cranking out soul and blues classics. The music is hypnotizing, and sweaty patrons -- young and old, black and white -- drink and dance with abandon. Come here for an authentic Memphis music experience, but note that while they open at 2pm daily, the music doesn’t always get going until well after midnight, and it’s only Thursday-Sunday.
