Bars in Clarksdale

F. Jones Corner is Clarksdale's most atmospheric blues bar — a juke joint serving cold beers and Delta Blues music in the raw, unvarnished style that made the Mississippi Delta the birthplace of American popular music. Its authentic juke joint experience — concrete floors, cold PBR, and live blues from local musicians — represents the original form of the American bar as a community music and entertainment space.

Ground Zero Blues Club is Morgan Freeman's legendary Clarksdale blues bar — a Delta institution co-owned by the Academy Award-winning actor that presents live blues in the birthplace of the blues, steps from the famous Crossroads where Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul to the devil. Housed in a former cotton warehouse decorated with hanging shoes, license plates, and signed dollar bills from every state, Ground Zero captures the raw, authentic spirit of Mississippi Delta blues that has influenced every genre of American popular music.
