    “If there was anywhere in Memphis where someone like the Velvet Underground would get their start as the house band, it'd be The Lamplighter. There are dive bars and then there are dive bars where bohemian culture is crafted artisanally at any given moment on any given day or night - where it's difficult to parse the creative spirit all around you from the atmosphere you're breathing in, from the table in front of you. The Lamplighter isn't just where arts happen, nor just where the bodies & brains of a creative underclass come to find community and grub and craft brew; the Lamplighter itself is Art and all the messy raw material needed to spawn generations of Memphis flavored bohemianism. When I moved to Memphis in the 90s, today's Lamplighter is what I needed. Who knew I was born 20 yrs too early. Parking: Depending on the time and the night, parking can be meh - I mean, it's easy peasy for big city parking but after living in Memphis for 30 yrs, we get accustomed to pulling right up in parking close to the entrance for most things in Midtown. Whatever the case, it's worth the 2 minute walk from the car.”
