50 Best Bars in Memphis

“We stumbled upon this happy hour to escape Memphis relentless heat. Great bar area with comfortable stools. The bar tender, larger guy with a bread was friendly, helpful, attentive and offered a bar snacks menu but also suggested that we could have the restaurant menu from 5 pm which we readily accepted. It was all sensational and we stayed longer and spent more because they were so welcoming and the wine and food fantastic. It was a great night, we tipped generously. Thanks so much“

“I came to support a group of students earlier this week to celebrate winning king and queen of the school. First of all let me say the staff was very rude to the administration staff. Even though reservations were made and confirmed and they knew in advance that the students were coming they refused to seat our party and denied the reservations ever being made even after being shown the email messages. The female manager asked for us to wait outside of the restaurant being that it was about 42 degrees that day until the limousine arrived to pick the students back up . The children were dressed in their Sunday best with white dresses and the young boys were in tuxedos and were looking forward to having their luncheon that was awarded to them for their hard work at school. I strongly believe that if the students were not all African American and staff as well they would have treated us differently. I will never ever support nor spend money with Majestic Grill again. I was hurt the way they treated these students who worked oh so hard and were looking forward to what was supposed to be a special day to remember.“

“After traveling and enjoying fine Italian food I came back to Memphis with a craving of gnocchi.. quick google search brought me here !! And I’m so glad it did !!

Cannot recommend Andrew Michael’s enough“

“use to be my Friday and Saturday nights go to place for a great night out but then I started working as a parking lot security, I did my job very well and I never nor would I have ever condone in able body men/women stealing/breaking into someone who have worked hard to achieve the things that they worked hard to achieve but with no questions asked I got fired and was unable to defend nor was I able to give my side to the lies that was told and that really made me feel as though my word didn't matter and nor did I nor the person that got me hired got the recognition for risking our lives by preventing a few break-ins but it all good though and at the end of the day Classic Souls will still be my go to spot sincerely a real and honest x employee Tamellia French aka Meme“

“The owners are just amazing. Mary walks around and interacts with everyone letting them know that everyone is treated as family. Their son Devin helped me with a flat tire one time and advised me on a new haircut!!! I definitely look better after his advice. Chelsea is the bartender and is always ready with prompt service. She once wrestled a possum off of my car for me and then trained him and then housed him because he was an orphan. I wonder how that possum is doing these days? If you want to experience a family atmosphere, this is the place to go. Today we salute you Harvester, thank you.“

“Thank you Cocozza for such a great time! Your sauce is better than mine and I loved the meatballs. I need recipes lol. That cannoli was the best too. Usually it is so chewy at other restaurants. It was crunchy and creamy perfection. I also recommend the bruschetta and the calamari starters. Your staff was so engaging and they made my birthday so much fun. They took the time to answer questions, even about the restaurant itself and artwork. Very engaging and professional. We will be back because this is now my favorite restaurant!“

With no line no wait Sunday late afternoon and was in awe of the unobstructed gorgeous views of the Mississippi River, Hernando Desoto Bridge and rural Arkansas. You can spot the Memphis sign and Mississippi Riverwalk from up here. The Watermelon Rancher cocktail is pure blissful liquid Jolly Rancher. Recommend the sweet tooth order this drink! The DJ rocked out hip oldies and tunes that will get you feeling the perfect carefree vibe.“
