About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Some 40 years after going dark, the legendary Lafayette’s Music Room returns to the heart of Memphis’ revitalized Overton Square. Once again, Lafayette’s Restaurant and Bar is the spot to enjoy great food, good local conversation, and some of the best live music in town, seven nights a week.

The original Lafayette’s Music Room was short-lived but still vividly remembered. During the 1970s, it was a small but influential venue rooted in the most happening corridor of Memphis. A key stop on the showcase circuit for up-and-coming touring artists, Lafayette’s played a significant role in launching the careers of such music superstars as Billy Joel, Big Star, KISS, Barry Manilow, J.J. Cale and Leon Russell, to name a few.

Today’s Lafayette’s Restaurant and Bar evokes that storied past. It boasts live bands seven nights a week, from local and touring acts playing rock ‘n roll to jazz to blues and everything in between.

    Do not book Lafayette Music Room through Open Table!!! We booked over a month in advance and were confirmed for dinner for 7 on vacation. I called to see if we could move up our reservation to earlier to find out they don't use Open Table anymore. Management made no effort to accommodate our confirmed reservation or apologize for the inconvenience due to a $20 ticketed event that night. Fortunately, we ate at Central BBQ instead which was delicious! Cannot comment on food, value, or noise (but required on OpenTable for review).

    This is a great place to listen to music and associate with others! We loved hearing Landslide! Next time they play, we’d like to get a group together to go again.

    Very courteous staff. Nice choice of seating. The food was very good with the exception of the fried Calamari. Too many peppers and not enough actual calamari.
