Reviews of Red's (Night Club)

barb carter

The real deal for blues. Definitely worth the trip across the tracks!

Mary Gay

If loves the blues you must visit here. We saw "Mule Man". He was awesome!!!!! Best blues we saw while in Clarksdale.

Mr. Kinetik

Red’s is the real deal for the blues. If you’re in the area or planning a trip to see the blues up close and personal, get on down to Red’s ASAP. Bring cash, tip the band, and the bartender!

Matthew Lineberry

So, you have the touristy blues destinations, and then you have the authentic real deal jukes. Red's is the latter. Food, beer, blues. That simple. Go in and act responsibly and have a fine time. Keep a lookout for upcoming events. They bring in more of the authentic blues performers than the other venues.

Literally the best musicians I've ever seen!!

Having read much about juke joints, and Red's in particular, as well as having purchased the documentary "We Juke Up in Here" DVD, we had a good idea of what Red's was all about. If you find yourself drawn to the Mississippi Delta and are looking for authentic live blues performed in an intimate setting, (which happens to be one of the best ways to experience any performance) then look no further than Red's! At first it is like walking into any small town local bar/club as an outsider, while some may be a little hesitant, relax and stroll on in. Just observe Red's one important cardinal rule: shoot no video. Observe that, behave yourself, buy a beer, have a chat with Red, soak in the atmosphere, relax, buy another beer, chat some more with Red, laugh, start to have a good time, buy another beer, laugh some more, and get in the mood for some good music. Kick back and enjoy the up close performance, drink beer, and enjoy something very unique. We stayed till the band finished (Lucious Spiller) and left out of there around 2am. And remember: It's hip to tip! Thanked Red, the band and were on our way having had an experience of a lifetime. Red's "Is What It Is".....the Best!

Change the e to a u and the s to an e. We had paid our cover charge plus threw money in the bucket first go-round plus bought beer. Band took a forever break (Big T and Family was a good band). Dark and RED neon in there so you cannot see all the things on the wall. 2nd go-round of the bucket, we passed. Well, we got the royal treatment from Red. He came and sat right in front of us and stared. I never looked directly at him, but I could sense that he was not pleased. I whispered to my friend for us to go, not really knowing what was up, but knew it had to do with the tip-bucket. I got up and went on out, thinking my friend was following. Finally when he came out he said that Red had jumped him about videoing. Everyone had seen us doing this almost as soon as we walked in. Not buying it. Just plain RUDE.

Best authentic juke joint in the Delta

rob knowles

Was down at Reds a couple of years ago,made the journey just to be in a real, true,juke joint. I'm a blues harp player from New Zealand and this was my pilgrimage,I was going there to listen,and maybe learn a little,I did,and also got to play with Bud Welch one night and a 1 hour set the next night with The Big A. I was humbled by their generosity. Quite frankly,this was my life time experience,every thing else doesn't quite measure up. If you're in the delta,go see Red!

Michael Gallucci

Great food generous portions, awesome environment... Breakfast and Blues can't go wrong.

Mickey McGuire

Absolutely the coolest blues/juke joint anywhere. The whos who of blues have all played here and many more wish they could

Frank Samel

Jeder Zeit gerne wieder nach Clarksdale

Alexandros Pilios

We arrived 2 songs before the end of the set and got kicked out just as we walked in from the dude who was playing because we tipped him our last 2$ and not 7$ each(!). He literally stopped the show. That's not how tips work, especially when you're about to finish the set!

Graham Cole

A blast from the past, different is an understatement. A must visit if you want the real Blues of the south.

Benjamin Dalsgaard Hughes

Absolutely amazing place! Heard fantastic blues for 3 hours with stories, surprise guests and just really good blues. Can STRONGLY recommend!

Tim Smith

Superb night! We saw Big Al

Isa Love

Heard the review of Red's juke joint on NPR Weekend Edition and felt like I was there and it is a place would be great to go

Jeff White

If you're hungry for authenticity, it's as real as it gets.

Gemma Rovira

(Translated by Google) A view looks like a dive on the outside, but costs you get when you pass the door you stay ohhh que guapo (Original) A ver parece un antro por fuera, te cuesta entrar pero cuando pasas la puerta te quedas ohhh que guapo

Nathan Culpepper

The real deal

Lelia Perryman

I will visit again Big A featuring Space cowboy

Legit juke joint

Reed Radcliffe

This juke joint is a special place. It is historic and current at the same time. The music and enjoyment that happens here has happened many times before and will happen many times in the future. It is the antithesis of popular music and yet the base of popular music. A culture all it's own, frequented by all walks of life. Cold beer, good barbecue and blues music are on the menu at Red's. Also, introduce yourself to Red Paden, proprietor extraordinaire. An experience required for street cred in most blues bars world wide.

Terence Walker

Greg Cole

It is what it is. If you're looking for authentic delta blues music in Clarksdale then this is your place.

Larry Idema

WONDERFUL music. But the cleaning and maintenance crew must have died off 5 yrs ago. An experience you will long remember, I know I will. I would go again.
