Editorial Review for Rum Boogie Cafe – by Linda Romine and Lesley Balla
The Scene
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.
The Booze
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).

We had several drinks on Beale St. They had the best drinks by far!!!! The music was great and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

It's a good thing Rum Boogie has the best House Band and music on the street because the food it terrible. Service and friendliness is fine it's just that they can't even fix simple food good anymore. I have been coming to Rum Boogie since it opened (22yrs) and it's only been the last couple of years they forgot how to fix food. I guess they feel they don't have to try to hard on the food since it's mostly tourist traffic but for crying out loud at least have a burger tha is fresh and hot and change the oil in the fryer sometime. Go see James Govan and Don Chandler or any of the other bands but eat somewhere else first.
Pros: Great Music, nice atmosphere, friendly service
Cons: Food is horrible, even simple things.
