Go up the spiral staircase. I think purely in terms of layout, atmosphere and amenities, this could be the best bar I've ever been to. Games, view, couch, tv's, bar, live music, balcony, soul.
Jo GraingerOctober 6, 2014On a Sunday evening they host a jam where individual musicians are called on stage for a couple of songs set. Typically they have never played together making each performance unique. V cool.
Justin MillerMarch 16, 2013Great place to start off your night at Beale St. Tremendous food while listening to live blues music. Try out their fried pickles and pulled pork.
Tamara BrownMarch 15, 2015Awesome drinks, great bartenders, band was very entertaining. $5 door cover was worth it!
Divya MulanjurJanuary 1, 2017Considered a must visit on Beale street when in Memphis. The place has a $3 cover charge but the music is great. Drinks are okay.
Diana AJune 22, 2013OMG they are supposed to be known for bbq pork but I'm just praying with every bite that I don't choke! So incredibly DRY! And has loads of bones in it. So disappointed but good place to ppl watch!
Lotsa people come here just for the blues music but it's one of the best deals on Beale for inexpensive food too ...gotta love it!
Russell WarnerSeptember 11, 2013Great place on Beale. Live music, good view of the street, dollar bills all over the walls and cool signed guitars hanging over the bar.- Memphis TravelFebruary 1, 2012Catch live musicians nightly at Rum Boogie. Grab a seat by the window so you can people watch on Beale while enjoying fantastic tunes.

Darren PortJanuary 26, 2012Come on the weekends to see the James Govan Band. Talk to the keyboardist, D.C., and ask him "Time is tight, right?"
- Diana AJune 22, 2013The pulled pork sandwich is extremely dry. Ask for more BBQ sauce on the side! Yikes....gonna choke!
Matthew GuillotMarch 10, 2012Great lil bar. Getting drinks, cool thing is that the mayor is serving me.
- Was told by our waitress that the bread was cooking when she brought our meal out, after eating she said the bread "sucks but i'll bring it if you want it" FINALLY she brought the stalest bread, yum!!

Of all the clubs and bars on Beale Street, Rum Boogie Cafe is the one not to miss. If their superfine rum selection and beer aren’t enough to entice you, the Cajun and barbecue menu should–ribs, fried catfish, gumbo and red beans and rice served by fast and friendly servers.
