Rum Boogie Review

I often meet people here to talk. The staff was very welcoming and observant. Prices were average for the menu. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I liked.

Good foods, good live music. Please do not order only one beer and enjoy live music then just leave.

I have been coming here off and on since 1990s. As of March 2019 the food is still great. Specifically the blue plate lunch menu. Friendly staff tops everything off. Russell helped make it a great visit once again.

Absolutely fantastic. Good ole fashion fashion Blues, drinks are fantastic, service is the best I experienced on Beale

The location and band was great. However the food awful. I had the ribs that was rubbery and burnt and fries which was cold. The only thing that I enjoyed was the water and the live band.

Wow! Great live music and lots of Memphis Blues historical decor.

Went there before Griz / Clippers came. We are really wanting ribs but Rendezvous and Blues City were on long waits, so we ended up here. Ribs were good, but tasted consistent with typical backyard BBQ. Cheese plate was good, but no where near any other BBQ/Rib place in Memphis. Cheese was probably out of the bag and not cut and sausage was about the size of a quarter and thin. Service was good and bartender poured good drinks. I have been here on a couple other occasions, same deal. Food decent.

The best bar I have ever and will ever go to. Magic. Perfect. A perfect bar.

Always a good experience. Food and blues background music. All were above average.
About a 4.6.

Decent bar. The cover charge kind of stinks, but if you start to walk you might get a deal. There are three bars and at least two stages so it was worth the cover for us. The band's aren't loud enough to warrant ear plugs. Grab your drinks at the bar furthest from the street corner for the best deal.

Intimate venue with great music; even on a random Tuesday.

I can only comment on the staff and the experience outside, not on the interior. My 69 year old mother and me get carded trying to enter. The doorman tells my 69 year old Mum she can't come into the venue as she doesn't have ID. Saying it's compulsory to have ID in Tennessee. Well I check the laws and this isn't the case at all, it's the same as elsewhere in the USA and you just can't sell minors alcohol.
There is no way she looks like she could be under 40 let alone 21. (Sorry mum)
Bad experience on our first night out on Beale.

I love the music and great soul food. I have lately been there earlier in the day and unfortunately the service is very slow. Otherwise, I would really recommend it as a cozy spot. Outdoors is a great place to lounge with umbrellas to cover

Go for the music, always great bands there. Food is the cherry on top. Great nachos and fried pickles!

Looking forward to returning with my relatives. Prices were average for the menu. Reminds me of a place in New York I loved to visit.

Awesome. Best music on Beale with Pam & Terry and the Preston Shannon Band. Our waiter, Jon, was a ton of fun.

Very authentic cozy home of some incredible music . Breathtaking environment. Close encounters with artists/ band and room for some dancing. Truly enjoyed the live jam with the broad gamut of expertise. Amazing! Huge collection of signed guitars

Band was great! Neesha, our server, was also great. Gumbo was terrific

Rum Boogie is THE place to see fantastic acts on World Famous Beale Street in Memphis, TN!! Guitars hang from the ceiling like leafs on a tree, donated by such acts as Dave Stewart, Albert Collins, Stray Cats, and many, many others! If you go to Beale you MUST stop in at the Rum Boogie to get some great jam on!!

Love everything about Beale Street including Rum Boogie! Relaxing on a quiet day to watch people walk by is the best, and the staff is great.

Awesome ribs, bbq burger was great! service was great, music was great! Fun night

Loved the band (Plantation Allstars) & they deserve 5 stars. The food we had is 1 star.....The nachos - fake runny cheese and some thin ketchup type sauce smothered the few chips to the point of making them a gross pile of mush. Yuck.

Great food and atmosphere! Go for lunch and avoid the crowds.

Great atmosphere. Strong drinks. Young Petty Thieves draw a crowd, for good reason. Great start to a night on Beale

Hobky tonk style bar not bluesy. Loud music with shouting lyrics, was fun and great music but not the blues. Had a guest musician sing three great bluesy songs but then back to the super loud music. Pretty fair service waited about 8 minutes before getting drinks. Polite waiter.
