An outdoor table at this bustling bar affords some of Beale Street's best people watching.

The Scene
With its prime placement at the usually bustling corner of Third and Beale streets, its location is one of the best things Alfred's has going for it. Sitting outside on the club's two-story patio--which overlooks the alternately lively and downright rowdy W.C. Handy Park--patrons can get sloshed nightly until 3am, or until 5am on Fridays and Saturdays.

While You're There
Local bands play throughout the week. During the daylight hours, weekday blue-plate specials draw downtown working professionals to Alfred's for a casual burger or sandwich lunch. At night, dance till dawn on Alfred's enormous dance floor (the largest on Beale Street).
