I've only been to Raiford's a handful of times, but damn it was awesome. RIP Disco King of Memphis.

It's a Beale Street Thing. Like Razoos or Cat's on Bourbon.

Went there once. Pimp mobile out front, low ceilings with balloons, and only 24 Oz beers sold.

That was a fun place to go. We had to leave a little early the last time I was there because it got raided.

Went once. Remember the beers served in brown paper bags, the low ceilings, the owner dressed like a pimp, and him banging the drum set in the middle of the bar. Good time. Hope it stays open

It's moved to a bigger location downtown.

He didn't run it. His daughter Paula does.

He was basically a mascot.

He was a legend. Raifords is the place to go when you're in Memphis.

Speaking of legends, is Prince Mongo still around ?
