Of all the clubs and bars on Beale Street, this is one not to miss. If the 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. Nighttime is all about hot R&B with the house-favorite James Govan and the Boogie Blues Band. More often than not, national acts just show up and jam on stage. Be sure to gawk at the club's ultra-cool collection of over 350 guitars, autographed by people who have played there, from Aerosmith to Stevie Ray Vaughan to the B-52's.
An extensive rum selection is key to fruity, fun concoctions like the Boogie Rum Runner (Malibu, pineapple and orange juice) or the Blueberry Hill (Bacardi silver, Razzmatazz, juice and 7-up).
