Memphis Slim’s House of Blues
22 Gilbert Place Basement Level, Adelaide SA 5000
This basement den is a celebrated Chicago blues-style bar. Memphis creates an experience only described as a step into another world, with an authentic take on the American blues scene, showcasing an array of local live talent, and imported rare American whiskey and beers.
The primary focus is experience, with live projections on the walls replicating the Joshua Light Show from Jimi Hendrix’s Filmore East performance in ’68, a Ludwig drumkit reminiscent of John Bonham’s and a range of Fender and Aguilar amps to bring it all home.
The bar has made remarkable strides in the live music scene, winning the ‘Best Live Music Venue’ at the Australian Bar Awards in 2022 and 2024 and the ‘Best Bar in South Australia’ for the last 4 years running. Memphis Slim’s House of Blues features exhilarating live music performances, showcasing local and international musicians from Wednesday through Sunday. Their weekly Dusty Lee’s Blues Jam on Thursdays is particularly popular among music enthusiasts.
