The Rendezvous is the FULL BBQ EXPERIENCE in town. It is located in Downtown and is a Memphis Institution!! They are smoking ribs in this alley hideaway of historic restaurant known for BBQ. It is worth the wait at the upstairs bar to be ushered to your table below street level to experience these ribs (wet or dry rub) pulled pork, and all the fixins' :)

The sister to the Beauty Shop restaurant ...next door....is DKDC BAR- (DONT KNOW DONT CARE) bar. Funky little, well lit, well decorated place for the occasional great night of live music. If you hit a Memphis favorite you may have to squeeze your way in through the hipsters to get a spot. Many of the older hipsters have played music with all the greats from Memphis' past Music scene. Be friendly, you never know who's next to you, in this place.

If you would like a nice walking loop through the park. There is an entrance to the old forest and paved trail, next to the dog park and exits near the golf club house. This is an old growth forest in the center of the city. Or you can choose to relax on a picnic bench near the small lake.
