OT: Mud Island Amphitheater info

call my sister?

she's wild

Last time I went was in about 09 but was way to deep into pregame. OAR concert, drinking a fifth of eagle rare was a poor decision I barely remember going and coming back with 2 other Rebs.

But I'm pretty sure you have to shuttle across the river on some overhanging the river.
I usually like parking at Peabody place tower when going to the river/downtown as its close to the river and has security and is easy to find when drunk.

After parking walk west from garage to river and walk down to the hub station.
There are closer side lots right off of riverside drive if you can find them as well.

We took a taxi to and from mud island for that event though.

Yeah I like metro 67 garage aswell for its proximity to the river

(no message)

There are several parking garages within walking distance.

I'm not as Familiar with the downtown options as I am with midtown and the rest of memphis. Ive had good experiences at double Js and automatic slims but I'm not sure they're exactly what you're looking for. Also not sure how close they are in relation to the amphitheater.

As far as food goes, there's a lot in the area. Are you looking for standard American fare or what? Also, how much time are we talking and what's the general price range? Belle: A Southern Bistro is pretty close, and they have great food and service for reasonable prices. There's Huey's, known for their burgers, caddy corner to Autozone Park. On Main St. north of the Orpheum, you have Aldo's Pizza, Oshi Burger (burgers and alcoholic milk shakes), Local Gastropub (American gastro), Blue Fin (pizza/sushi), among others. Agave Maria (Nuevo Mexican) is in the area too. Y'all could also take the elevator to the top of Bass Pro ($10 a person, but you get a free cocktail at the top if you're over 21) and eat up there. North of the Mud Island foot bridge, there are a couple of decent places in the Pinch District, and south of the Orpheum you have a ton of options on South Main (near the National Civil Rights Museum).

I'm also just gonna throw this out there, there's Gus's and Central BBQ downtown too. If you've had neither, you should try both.

It'd probably be quicker to park at wherever y'all eat and then go to one of the pay-to-park garages on Front since there aren't really any restaurants worth a damn on Front, at least near the foot bridge. There are definitely places within walking distance, but if y'all are pressed for time and want to eat, I'd go to Gus's or Central in S. Main (Central has its own free lot and Gus's has free street parking surrounding it) and then park at the garage at Front and Madison. Central is usually very quick to serve after ordering, and Downtown Gus's is the best chicken you'll get in Shelby County.
