Red’s Lounge

We had a wonderful time at Reds. The music is right in front of you and you can’t help but have fun.

Reds lounge is the real deal and an absolute MUST in the great city of Clarksdale!!! The band was incredible and the experience is a must!!!

A great place with a lot of charm, live music was fantastic, I would gladly go back next time I’m in Clarksdale.

Red’s is amazing! This is a must if you are in Clarksdale.

Amazing place to enjoy the blues in Clarksdale. Incredible music and a crackling energy. Dirty stories and scandalous dancing. Beer only. Bring cash ($ 10 cover was more than worth it) and bug spray.

Red is such an awesome guy with a real love of great music. My night here couldn’t have been better.

AMAZING! Not to be missed. If you’re looking for a local, authentic, good time, you must come to Red’s Lounge. Impressive musicians, great ambiance, and fun little joint!

This place has character. Red is awesome. Don’t miss this place if you are in Clarksdale

By far my favorite stop in Clarksdale. Red is the man. The blues played in the juke joint are authentic and incredible. My only regret was not being around during the day to sample some of the yummy smelling smoked treats on Red’s smoker. You must stop here if you visit Clarksdale.

Awesome place. Great music, cheap beer, friendly people. It’s small and pretty grungy but it’s about as genuine as you can get if you’re looking for an old school, small town blues club. Had a great time!

If you want a true juke joint live blues experience, this is your spot. If you were looking for a touristy, clean spot, go around the corner to Ground Zero. If you want the real deal, this is it. A meager door fee ($ 7 the night I went) and hours of live blues (Christone «Kingfish» Ingram when I went) and beer/​soft drinks, cash only. Not a bad seat in the house, but it’s not pretty, so know that going in. Have fun. Lean into it.

Yes, Yes, Yes. A real Bonafide Juke Joint. You owe it to yourself to see a place like this while they still exist. The Juke Joints are dying off, and they are where the Blues developed into the fabulous American art form they are. Beer and sodas are all they serve, and it cash only. This is the real deal here.

Cash only, real close to to Ground Zero blues club, but this is the real deal. saw Terry «harmonica» Bean. just one man, a harmonica and a guitar. spoke about solo guitar blues (bb king) VS. just one person when you have to create the rhythm and bass underneath you. small place, tight and run down but warm staff who believe in what their doing and i felt most welcome. so strange to be in a juke joint where the majority of the audience is white other than one couple and the doorman and owner, but it is what it is and i hope that some day it will come back around. but please support them, you will enjoy you r time there.

A trully 100% authentic juke joint. If you are travelling across Mississippi and you stop a night at Clarksdale, don’t miss this place.
I attended a show of Terry «Harmonica» Bean that lasted four incredible hours.
Un juke joint auténtico para escuchar buen blues en Clarksdale. Si viajáis por Mississippi y os gusta el blues tenéis que ir a este garito, oscuro, casi decadente, pero auténtico de verdad.

Authentic juke joint.
Dress down, buy some excellent ribs from the smoker outside and listen to some great music.

Don’t let the exterior fool you — step inside for a great blues experience! We drove from Memphis one night planning to catch a set at Red’s and leave during a break between sets to go to the more known Ground Zero. Got to Red’s around 9pm while Terry «Harmonica» Bean was playing who never took a break and we didn’t leave until 1:39 am, The place is far from fancy, the bathroom needs some work, but we had the best time and can’t wait to go back.
