I used to go to a hole in the wall in Midtown called the Buchaneer I think.
The Buc is a great bar! If you're ever in need of a drink at 4:15 am on a Tuesday morning, its a good stop.

Going to the Buc tonight for Day 3 of MemphisHatesYou fest. Lots of good bands playing there tonight. It's a good venue to get up close and personal with the band.
Been to the Hi-Tone in Midtown several times and never had any problems...including leaving around 2 am.  You just have to know which areas/neighborhoods to avoid, keep your wits about you, and not to make it obvious that you're lost.

The worst things about memphis:
1. Crime or just having to be around the criminal element.
2. Memphis politics and the idiots that vote in anyone that looks like them making the city a joke nationally.
3. Memphis drivers.
4. The police department that won't do anything about #3 because they drive just like them. I almost never see a squad car use a turn signal or drive the speed limit. I have even witnessed 2 squad cars drag racing on 240 in the middle of the night at well over 100 MPH with no blue lights or sirens on.
5. Horrible road conditions.
The best things about Memphis:
1. FedEx
2. Good food
If it wasn't for my job I would be living on the TN River somewhere. Someday I will retire there.

May be there myself. A buddy of mine is one of the promoters.

Ever been to the basement of 201 Poplar, which is General Sessions? That place is a freaking ZOO. A lot of them are traffic cases. But it's like a revolving door. People get cited for driving on suspended licenses, but that doesn't stop them.

Memphis used to have an XFL football team called the Maniax and their logo was a crazy looking guy with pinwheel googly eyes. When we were getting the Grizzlies basketball team from Vancouver, there was a lot of talk of changing the name since there aren't a lot of Grizzly bears in west TN. One of the more popular ideas floated was to call them the "Memphis Drivers" and use the same googly eyed logo from the old Maniax team. The chant at games would be "Memphis Drivers...No Survivors!" They stuck with Grizzlies though.
