Blues Alley Downtown Memphis

What started as a place for our family to come and enjoy one another without distraction, is now a group of venues established (officially founded by John and Linda Shaw in 2018) for the sole purpose of providing a tranquil venue to gather and connect in love and fellowship. Our cozy and chic “Main Option”, is a modest quadplex of one bedroom garden apartments Located on Main Street in Downtown Memphis. Main Option is a part of the continued urban development adjacent to both Riverfront Harbor and Uptown neighborhoods and sits directly across from the Soul and Spirits Brewery and around the corner from the Grind City Brewery. Catch a ride to Beale Street on a horse drawn carriage as they past your front door. Or stroll to the historic Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum behind you. The ease of access to the trolley line makes visiting the Memphis Must-See’s a breeze! Hop on the trolley line to enjoy Beale Street nightlife, watch the famed Peabody Ducks conduct their daily Duck Parade, or catch the NBA’S Memphis Grizzlies at the Fed-Ex Forum. Additionally, the trolley line will help you take in a fun night of baseball at the Redbirds Stadium, a delicious BBQ dinner at Rendezvous, or a dinner cruise on the River. Your choices for fun in the city are limitless at this location!

THIS is your Memphis MUST STAY
We had an amazing time at this VRBO. The location was perfect for our event at Grind City Music Fest, however, it would also be perfect for anyone visiting Memphis. It is very close to the Main Street trolley stop, across from Soul and Spirit Brewery and within walking distance (if you are in decent shape) to The Peabody and Beale Street. This place was immaculate. While compact, what more could you need. The kitchen was fully stocked AND the hosts leave a basket of goodies, a bag of ice and soda in the fridge. The bathroom has every toiletry you can imagine. Forgot something??? Trust me, they have you covered. Upon leaving, they even left a gift on the porch for us. These amazing people even had a travel cup made for us, including the dates AND the event we went to. We will definitely be going back to Memphis and staying here.

Clean, Safe, Cozy
We come to Memphis every spring for the Memphis in May celebrations and the Beale Street Music Festival. We've never stayed close to the downtown area, bc I have always been worried about safety. I decided to take the chance this year, and found The Shaws apartment. It was serendipity! Perfect little apartment for a couple with everything you need. Kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need to make meals, bathroom is stocked with extra toiletries and soap and towels. I knew we'd chosen to stay with someone who goes above and beyond when we walked in an had a Welcome basket full of yummy goodies! I've never had owners do that before! It was nice to just sit down and have a snack after driving all day! They give you plenty of information about local attractions and restaurants, and Linda was so quick with communication. Would definitely recommend staying at Linda and Johns property to anyone traveling to Memphis!

Hidden Gem, Super Accommodating, My New Memphis Home!
“Every part of my stay was so accommodating. The street is quiet, security cameras around the premises, and for a moment I forgot this was not my house. It felt like someone took the time to think about all the amenities that are important to me! If you forgot it, they have it. I had make-up removal wipes, shower caps, freshly rolled towels. The room’s cleanliness and fresh linen scent from the sheets and pillows made me feel at home. This property even included an in-house concierge who I had to book accommodations. The Shaws’ outdid themselves with this English country themed space.” — Sitoria. S., Chicago, IL
