History

Beale Street Blues Company was started in Memphis over 32 years ago by Thomas Peters. B.B. King’s Blues Club was founded in 1991 when the city of Memphis asked Mr. Peters to develop the first B.B. King’s Blues Club in an attempt to save a run down Beale Street.

The redevelopment of Beale Street in the early 90s brought together B.B. King and the late Tommy Peters to create an iconic destination that paid tribute to the King of the Blues and his global influence on music. The supper club-style restaurant became the anchor that led to a new wave of development on Beale Street and became one of the top tourist destinations in the South.

Since then, the club has served as a premier destination for tourists looking to experience the rich, Memphis music culture, as well as a favored hangout spot for locals to enjoy. With a casual and family-friendly atmosphere, the dual restaurant and club concept offers guests the sweet sound of classic soul, blues and rock and roll. Our menu features delicious Southern dishes, including authentic Memphis-style barbecue, shrimp & grits, sandwiches and Po-boys that are sure to please a wide variety of tastes. Our restaurants are characterized by an authentic design that includes original artwork and rare photography with themes that celebrate the culture of food and music in the South. B.B. King’s is a popular destination in Memphis and Montgomery.

Over the years BB King’s has had a number of artists visit our clubs to enjoy themselves as customers and “jam” with our house musicians. These artists include The Rolling Stones, Sheryl Crow, Aerosmith, Plant & Page, Tom Jones Kid Rock, Hank Williams Jr., The Black Crows, Steve Cropper, Greg Allman, Billy Joel, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake and Lenny Kravitz . These spontaneous performances are very exciting for our customers and our company, and it is very important that we maintain an authentic environment that continues to attract these artists to our clubs.
