“I always enjoy the terrace they have a beautiful view of the river, wonderful tapas/ sharable plates, and also amazing drinks. My husband and I love date night here. I have tried most of the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Worth a visit whenever downtown. If you are lucky you will get Niki as a bartenders she is great!

Parking: Depends on time but there is parking because the terrace is on the top floor of a hotel. It is free parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Via hotel there is a sidewalk and elevator. No stairs“

“My fave bar in Midtown! The atmosphere is so moody- love it!! The cocktails are beautifully crafted and I love their approach with the seasonal menus! You truly get an experience when you visit cameo! The owners, Mary and Paul are wonderful and all the staff is friendly! They have a wonderful happy hour and great late night foods. I would recommend this place to anyone especially people visiting Memphis.

Parking: You can park in the public garage of The Citizen Apartments located on the first level or on the side of the building between Methodist and The Citizen Apartments.“

“It was very hot inside, but other than that my experience was awesome. Great bartender who made a great Sazerac. The Don Buri was INCREDIBLE. The pork belly was crispy but tender, the rice was seasoned and spicy, I just loved it. Will be back next time I'm in Memphis.“

“My, my, my! Bar Hustle is The Bar, bar none! I’m chilling at Bar Hustle on a Sunday afternoon with friends and Juntao has mixed us up a round of inspired and personalized cocktails, based simply on on a quick round of questions regarding liquor preferences. This man is a master mixologist able to combine liquors, liqueurs, spices, citrus, and other ingredients into cocktails that will have you sitting on a bar stool for hours!“

“We had a couple of days to be a "tourist" while in the Memphis area. This distillery came up on a search as "places to visit in Memphis". We purchased the tour for Friday afternoon. Cool place, great bar and gift shop. Our tour guide Mary made the tour and tasting enjoyable, and it was fun to learn the history of the family and businesses they ran, and how the distillery came to be. Highly recommend the tour..........and if the tour isn't your thing, sit at the bar and have a cocktail or two, quick friendly service, and the drinks are spot on!! We only wish the products were available in our area. Let's get Old Dominick's in the Houston, TX area please. I'm sure Spec's or Total Wine would be glad to put it on their shelves in our area. (The Original Toddy, and the Cask Strength please!!)“

“We made this a destination on our road trip after seeing it on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Totally worth the 700 mile drive!! Awesome food, excellent atmosphere, and most of all wonderful, friendly staff!! Absolutely recommend the Big City, crawfish dumplings and the wings. I would give them 10 stars if I could!!“
