Young Avenue Deli, Memphis

Twenty- and 30-something hipsters flock to this Midtown cafe, bar and performance space, something of a local's secret. There's a full menu of tasty international pub munchies—fried pickles, quesadillas, turkey pitas—and a huge beer selection. Live music starts most nights around 10PM, and there's usually of cover of $5-12. If you're looking to get away from the neon and noise of Beale Street, this is a good place to chat with some real live Memphians. The friendly, laid-back vibe is conducive to people-meeting—that guy in the fedora sipping the Abita Amber might just be the banjo player in the mid-South's best new indie-folk band.
