Description
Dont let the Times Square location and steep charges for big-name acts put you off: The cover usually hovers at around $20, and headliners have included George Clinton, Christopher Cross, Sugar Ray and Eartha Kitt. Heaven help us, Sundays $35 Harlem Gospel Choir brunch includes the choir, an all-you-can-eat buffet, taxes and tip. But the big secret here is Lucilles Grill, the bar next to the club, where live blues acts (including the man himself, occasionally) play for free at 8pm.
Hours
Sun, Tue, Thu 11am–midnight; Wed 11am–5am; Fri, Sat 11am–3am.
"It Ain't Snowing in Memphis" Looking out the window. Feeling cold inside. It ain't snowing in Memphis. Chilling to the bone. Baby by my side. It ain't snowing in Memphis. How I wish I were in Memphis. Walking down Beale St. Sipping on a Coke. Hearing BB sing the Blues. Cause it ain't snowing in Memphis. Cause it ain't snowing in Memphis.
