Ground Zero Blues Club
A juke joint co-founded by actor Morgan Freeman, serving Southern food and live blues in a graffiti-covered old cotton warehouse.
The club opened in 2001 in an old cotton warehouse beside the Delta Blues Museum. Its walls, tables, chairs and ceiling are covered with signatures and graffiti from visitors around the world. The sofa at the entrance and the neon signs are its signature images. In the evenings local blues bands perform live. The menu centers on Southern home cooking such as fried catfish, hamburgers and hot tamales. The operators and opening days have changed in recent years, so check the official website or social media for performance schedules before you go. Performance nights usually carry a small cover charge.
