Memphis Slim's House of Blues

Memphis Slim's House of Blues sits on Gilbert Place in the heart of the Adelaide CBD, in an atmospheric basement spot. A much-loved blues and live-music bar, it's a genuine fixture of the city's music scene — combining a great program of live blues and music with good drinks and a warm, characterful, intimate atmosphere, the kind of in-the-know venue that music lovers seek out.

The appeal is that combination of quality live blues and music, good drinks and a characterful, intimate basement setting in a central city location, ideal for a night of live music, a drink and a great atmosphere. A dedicated blues bar with a genuine program and real character really stands out, and Memphis Slim's has clearly won over a devoted following.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 200 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved venue. The live-music program, opening hours, drinks and any ticketing vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current schedule before you go — particularly for a specific act or event — though for live blues, a drink and a great atmosphere, it's well worth seeing who's playing at Memphis Slim's in the city.
