Memphis Restaurant

Neither rain nor sleet nor any holidays will keep the show from going on at Memphis Restaurant and Club in Addison. The club's stage has hosted live music every night since opening in 1981. With plenty of well-worn wood, rickety stools and brass rails, Memphis looks like a silver-screen version of a classic, cozy, smoke-filled nightclub. Memphis' tables sit right next to the stage with only a narrow area (reserved for dancing) separating them from the elevated bar. The Shuck N' Jive next door is under the same management/ownership, and the kitchen's open until 1:30 a.m. A convenient door between the bar and restaurant means patrons don't even have to walk outside to place orders from the popular Cajun joint's menu.
