Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous — Fan Eats
Fan Eats

Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous

Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous — located down an alley off Monroe Avenue and open since 1948 — serves Memphis-style dry-rub ribs that are universally acknowledged as the city's finest and among the best BBQ in America. Grizzlies fans, Elvis Presley pilgrims, and food-obsessed sports travelers all queue down the alley for the charcoal-grilled ribs served with the original dry seasoning blend that the Vergos family guards as closely as any championship trophy. The underground dining room's wood-panelled memorabilia and the smell of charcoal and spice create an atmosphere that no other Memphis restaurant can replicate.

Beale Street Blues Walk — Things to Do
Things to Do

Beale Street Blues Walk

Beale Street is the birthplace of the blues and one of America's great live music districts — a pedestrian strip of clubs, bars, and restaurants where Memphis Grizzlies fans and music pilgrims converge nightly in a celebration of the music that built American culture. Walking Beale Street on a Grizzlies game night means passing through open-air blues clubs, past W.C. Handy Park where live music plays for free, and into the roar of fans returning from FedExForum. The combination of authentic Memphis blues music and genuine sports passion makes Beale Street one of sports tourism's most irreplaceable experiences.

FedExForum — Grizzlies Fan Experience

FedExForum is the home of the Memphis Grizzlies and one of the NBA's most passionate fan environments, where the Grindhouse atmosphere built on the Grit and Grind era under Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol remains one of the defining cultural movements in recent NBA history. The arena sits in downtown Memphis steps from Beale Street, allowing fans to move seamlessly between basketball and live blues music. Attending a Grizzlies game in Memphis — with the crowd's unique mix of blue-collar loyalty and musical city energy — is one of professional basketball's most distinctive experiences.
