Oldest bar in town. Only serves beer (you can bring your own liquor/wine). It sorta feels like drinking in your grandmas smoke den.

Sightseeing

Recently renovated and so amazingly powerful. This museum is in the motel where Martin Luther King Jr was shot and is probably the single most important thing to experience during your Memphis trip.
