NYE on Beale Street

[Cubsfan]

My friends and I are trying to figure out New Year's Eve plans in Memphis. None of us are sure if we need to make reservations someplace or if Beale Street is just kind of a free for all where we can easily wander from one place to another. Anybody have any idea on that?

The last link doesn't really say a lot about cover charges/ buying tickets in advance for bars/restaurants. Does anyone know anything about? My guess is that it might be so crowded you'll have to pick a place and stay there.

I've figured the most fun nights might be Saturday and Sunday,
While NYE might get a bit overcrowded.
