Established in 1985 as the cornerstone of the Historic Beale Street and Highway 61, the Rum Boogie Café blends down-home Delta dining with smokin’ Memphis Blues played live seven nights a week. Whenever The Blues Foundation needs a club on Beale Street to host a late hour jam session or to showcase a Blues label, the Rum Boogie Cafe always steps forward. The fiirst thing you’ll notice when you step inside the Rum Boogie Café are walls and walls of guitars hanging on every available wall space. There are over 200 pieces of musical memorabilia signed by the likes of Ike Turner, B.B. King and Rufus Thomas to Santana and Sting. The award winning food served, featuring catfish, gumbo or bar-b-que, is some of the tastiest on Beale. Rum Boogie Café is the one place where the music and the food is real Memphis all the time.
