Eh... it's ok.

My wife worked at a radio station in Memphis for a while, and she'd always get a bunch of leftover free tickets. Since we only paid for our booze there, and mostly brought our own flasks in, it wasn't bad. Cowboy Mouth was always the midnight band. This was obviously a few years ago, but not quite as many as it should have been to have Cowboy Mouth playing. If you do go, I'd probably go ahead and pay for the VIP lounge. It's usually worth it to get out of the crowd, but I would bet they run out of food and booze quickly. Anyway, it turns into a mass of people. Really, really drunk, obnoxious people. So it's a basic New Year's party that 10 years ago was fun enough. Now I wouldn't dream of going.

Beale used to be a lot of fun when I was young and not married. Buying alcohol off the streets is much easier than it was in Nashville last year. Finding place to pee is the hard part. I used to sneak in Blues City Cafe via George Paul's Last Call and use their bathroom. Last time I went for NYE you couldn't get in the door because of the crowd.

If you aren't staying downtown, you better have a DD or be prepared to take a cab. The road blocks are out in full force down there usually. I usually try to stay out east...hop from bar to bar or house party to house party

Downtown for new years hasnt been fun in years

Beale street...

is boring and has been for the last 5-10 years. Autozone park is great in the spring for baseball and watching the Grizz is great as well...I have grown to hate Beale street.

Well I am 22 and don't mind crowds. Just wasn't sure what kind of people go.

I love Beale, but on NYE it is a packed house. Last time I went, we had to venture all the down to Deuces Wild just to be somewhere that we could actually move in. It was still fun, just don't expect a lot of personal space. You might have luck at the Flying Saucer if it gets too crowded (my favorite place in Memphis), it's just off of Beale, and you know everybody will be levitating towards Beale after ten.

I haven't idea what that means, buts its a 20-30 crowd, getting really drunk

And partying. It can be fun, a little crowded at the bar occasionally, but it's a typical big, nice NYE party. Everyone dressed up nice, etc.
