  • Live Music Venues in Memphis

    Downtown stages & big roomsVerified October 13, 2026

    The legendary former juke joint — soul burgers, the best jukebox in town, and live blues and soul upstairs when it's on. Hours run on their own clock, so call ahead before you count on a band.

  • The Best Burgers in Memphis

    The institutionsVerified October 13, 2026

    The Soul Burger — the only thing on the menu, and it only needs the one. Patty, cheese, onions, pickle, and the house Soul Sauce, served in a former brothel that's now the most storied dive in the South. Reopened in 2021 under new ownership after a year dark, and the grill runs Wednesday–Sunday, 5pm–3am — closed Monday and Tuesday, which is the trip that catches people out. Their own site says it best: pay $30 for a fancy burger somewhere else, then come back.

    The dive bar with the reputation: a jukebox the bar calls the greatest in the country, the Soul Burger, and ghost tours for anyone who wants to know if the sisters are still around. The site doesn't publish hours, so check its socials before a late start.

    The most famous late-night bite in Memphis: the Soul Burger, grilled in a haunted former brothel. Wednesday–Sunday, 5pm–3am — and closed Monday and Tuesday, which surprises people planning an early-week pilgrimage. The grill is the whole food program; that's the point.
