Bernd BrennerMarch 26, 2015Silky’s is one of the biggest bars on the legendary Beale Street in Memphis. Indoors, most of the time they have live music, creating a very good atmosphere. It is always a fun time at this bar.Upvoted Apr 4
Serious EatsJuly 7, 2014The bar is most famous for The Diver ($18), a secret cocktail served in a gallon bucket with multiple straws. It is the source of a lot of joy and regret for many visitors to Beale St.
Colleen BudgeSeptember 20, 2013Good straight Guinness and the Irish Car Bomb worth a try (even if not a great name?!?!) - you can definitely taste the Irish in their Irish coffee, too. And yes, I had ALL three
Alexandre MunhozAugust 7, 2022One of the only open air sites in the street which is great if you have good weather. The piano guys are very amusing. Service is chaotic but works eventually. Hot dog is good.
- Madison MessmerApril 17, 2018Perfect location on the world famous Beale Street. Love the large outdoor patio, 4 bars, and goats! Live music on the weekends and lots of great food! A Memphis Must!!
Twirly J 💃June 1, 2013Strawberry Daiquiri is good but do not even try the piña colada! Yuck! All 4 girls agreed, waste of money! Stick with Daiquiri! :-) or beer! Great live music! Great patio :-)
Alberto Hernández De SantiagoJune 5, 2015Great bar! The piano guys rock! I spent a week in Memphis, went there all days!
Ja HJuly 27, 2011Silkys is a great time not the best piano bar I've ever been too but it was the best bar we went too on beale st! Popping on a Tuesday night and the food is delicious
Obviously, you should get a diver. I've discovered that their Boll Weevil drink is awesome as well!
Joe NixtJune 5, 2018Dueling Pianos are fun and outside is fun when band playing. Goats outside are cute. We had good time😘
Remember: they have better beer than Bud Lite. The Tiny Bomb is always a good choice.
Get a strawberry daiquiri outside! They'll put it in a big beer cup if you don't want to deal with the big glass!
Justin MorrisAugust 17, 2013Get the Diver. It's adequate for you and a couple friends and at $18 it is pretty cheap to split
Try Silky's Irish Ale. Not the cheapest beer on tap, but brewed locally by Ghost River and delicious!
Sean McBrideApril 1, 2014Go on a Sunday afternoon, grab a drink, and enjoy the sun out on the patio.
ᴡ P.August 26, 2015It's a nice place when you want a drink or a mail in the middle of a very historic place.
Tip Cliff well at the bar. He is by far the best in the city.
Best patio and bands. New Era is the best dance there.
BeckyAugust 14, 2012check out the walk of fame on the patio with signatures/handprints from johnny and june, carl perkins, bob hope, and ella fitzgerald.
Russell WarnerSeptember 11, 2013One if my favorite places on Beale. Dueling pianos inside and blues outside.
Mark MatkeJuly 8, 2015Food was average. Atmosphere is pretty cool though. I'm glad to have experienced it once. But that is probably enough.
Mike FergusJanuary 26, 2013They make their own beer. Think they store it in ash trays instead of kegs.
AshleyMarch 25, 2012Watch out for the fat, young door man in the glasses. What a dick! Divers are always a good time though.
Daniel Bastardo BlancoMarch 25, 2017You didn't go to Silky if you didn't drink a bucket with your friends.
