“a swanky, secret getaway on Beale Street”

Itta Bena, located on the third floor of BB Kings Blues Club Memphis, is tucked away and worlds apart from Beale Street. This exclusive restaurant is designed in the manner of the speakeasies of the 1920's and features an unmarked, discreet entrance. Itta Bena combines upscale Southern contemporary cuisine with a Delta influence. Enjoy Itta Bena's signature cocktail, the Sweet Tea Mojito with the chef's special Jumbo Shrimp and Scallops over White Cheddar Grits in this intimate setting. Choose to dine in the Cove, a private table for two, or relax in the lounge, which includes a 42" HD TV and plush leather couches for your viewing comfort. For the larger groups, we invite you to enjoy the Chef's Table which accommodates parties of eight to ten. We're a favorite with both locals and visiting celebrities alike. Join us soon and find out why.
