I spent many great evenings here as a guest of Willie Seaberry--who sadly passed away recently. Not sure what the long-term outlook is, but it's hard to imagine it surviving much longer without him. Willie was Po' Monkey, and Po' Monkey's.

I was looking forward to seeing you again on my trip there next week. So sorry to hear of your passing. You were a delight to be with and you will be missed by all those who ever met you.

My daughter and I went to Po Monkey's in 2011.This is a juke joint playing delta blues by a DJ. You will not find it without directions. We had to ask the owner of Abe's BBQ in Clarksdale how to get there. His hand written directions on the back of napkin was our GPS for this shack at the edge... More 

It was closed, but still an authentic piece of history. It is a functioning juke joint, so probably can't go in with kids. And if you come in the daytime, it's locked up.

This was fun, certainly an adventure to find, full of locals AND visitors. The owner who told us his name was "Po Monkey" performed humorous skits. He was keeping an eye on everything all the while, making sure all felt welcome. I only wish there was live blues music.

Be aware that only beer and mixers are sold; people are allowed to BYOB as long as they purchase mixers. The Thursday night I was there there was a DJ, and the place was full.... More 

Po' Monkey's Lounge is a traditional juke joint with a TON of character, from its unique interior decorating (picture a ceiling filled with stuffed monkeys sent from fans across the globe), to its owner, Willie, who welcomes people into his abode.
