Beale Street, Entertainment district in Memphis, United States
Beale Street extends through three blocks of downtown Memphis with numerous music venues, restaurants, bars, and retail establishments offering live performances.
Established in 1841 by Robertson Topp, the street evolved from a commercial district into a central hub for African American commerce by the late 1800s.
Musicians such as W.C. Handy, B.B. King, and Memphis Minnie shaped the development of blues music through performances in the street's many clubs.
The entertainment district permits visitors to carry alcoholic beverages in open containers while exploring the various establishments and listening to music performances.
The New Daisy Theatre, which opened in 1937 as a movie house, transformed into a music performance space during the 1980s renovation period.
