Peoples on Beale

How did I not know about this place? Sure, I don't play pool, but all my guy friends are OBSESSED with it and I'm honestly shocked they have never dragged me here! This place is right next to Tin Roof and across from Coyote Ugly. Perfect place to start the night, or end the night! They have 8 pool tables, a juke box, and a stage. Not sure what exactly they do with said stage, but it is there ;). Also, can we talk about their vending machine? I'm honestly mad I didn't take a picture of it. It has everything from mints, to food, to condoms. Honestly they are ahead of the game if you ask me. I went during the day, so not exactly sure what the vibe and atmosphere here is at night, but I have a feeling we will come here late night sometime soon. All in all, it's a cool, chill place to shoot some pool and drink a little beer!

I really love People's. The drinks are good, the bartenders have always been really nice to me, and the customers have always been kind. I like friendly party-goers, so that's a plus. The one thing I love about it (sorry tourists) is the lack of tourists. It's mostly Memphis folks, the handful of times I was there. The pool tables were in great shape and I was always able to get a good drink when I needed it. The only complaint is the bathroom. That needs some work.

Peoples has been around for over 100 years and is the only pool hall on Beale Street. You'll find tons of pool tables and big screen TVs if you'd rather relax and catch a game on the tube. A more relaxed atmosphere than most of the establishments on Beale, Peoples has its share of regulars, as well as a full bar. The bar also stocks cigars and has recently started cooking up pizzas for hungry patrons. A great place to chill, watch a game or get your game on, Peoples treats everyone like family.

Awesome!!! When we crossed Beale Street in front of "Coyote Ugly" to the People's Billiard Club...I was pleasantly impressed !!! This is a real old fashioned "POOL HALL", the type my daddy and my uncles would take me to when I was young..I mean Young..I mean 4-5 yrs old...lol !!!! Dancing the Juke Box to Elvis in the corner while the played Pool, drank beer and smoked cigarettes..Yes today that would be a phone call to the CPS...but we are talking about late 1968 and 1969...a different time, a different place...a different world...and walking into this Pool Hall called People's Billiard Club on Beale Street transformed to this wonderful yester years !!! I wanted to cry and my hubby, Tony thought I lost my mind!!!!We went into the pool hall that had 12 tables, and a few high top tables with bar stood situated throughout the hall among the Billiard Tables here and there. There are wires on the ceiling hanging down in long loops with beads like an abacus to keep the score, You use your pool stick to reach up and slide the beads here and there to keep the score/count. Depending on the game your playing..There was a juke box, a small bar serving a full liquor selection and beer selection. They serve Pizza and I didn't see anything else on the menu..but I didn't see anyone eating any nor did I smell any cooking. There was only one bartender and guessing by his side, he was also the law in the building the bouncer and rule enforcer...but everyone was having a good time. You can smoke here, which is a great plus for the drinkers and smokers...I personally don't do either but it helped with the reminiscing I was experience...and I loved every moment of it.. Tony drank about 3 beers here, we didn't play any billiards but we enjoyed watching the others. I had an iced tea and I did order One Michelob Light Ultra to sip...I gave into weakness....lol !!! but at least I didn't grab a Marlboro!!!! I definitely recommend this location on Beale Street and I can't wait to partake again in the place that brings me back to a time I long for again and again!!!!

Really friendly really cold delicious beer alot different than the typical tourist trap of Beale. Give it a try and enjoy some pool interesting drinks and friendly bartenders. It is my new Beale hang out

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! If you stop in tell Lunchbox (one of the owners) that Donna said "hello!!!!"They have awesome 100 year oldBrunswick tables. It's one of the best places in town to play a good game of pool.

Loved this place and the vibe. Friendly bartenders.Billiards tables were in good shape and spaced out, which is nice not to have to check for people around you when you want to shoot.

I used to love this place, but twice now I have gone in to shoot some pool and grab a beer and 10 minutes later walked right back out because the employees wouldn't even bother to come out of the back to handle the customers. The place was basically empty...can't imagine why when one group wants to pay and leave and can't and the other group wants to buy beer and get balls for the table and can't. If I was the owner I would pissed off...

Never met a guard so rude. Wouldn't let me in with my water bottle, when I finished the water bottle tried to charge me $20 cover when bar was completely dead

People are not welcome: they are not very friendly of white people, if they're hosting they are just learning Memphis people in don't go there. They hate people on Beale. I went to the Knoxville and they don't were worried about it. They only let people age 18 less inside.
