We only planned to stop in for a quick drink before heading to Beale Street, but we ended up staying all night because the experience was THAT good, thanks to our mixologist, Brooklyn! From the second we walked up to her bar, she greeted us with a warm welcome & expert-level service. Brooklyn balances professionalism with her fun personality and made everything into a top-quality experience!

The happy hour prices were some of the best, and Brooklyn went above and beyond to make the night special. She offered me samples of two wines I was curious about, and I loved them so much I ended up with glasses of both throughout the night. On top of that, she surprised me with bday shots, got the bar to sing my birthday, and kept the energy upbeat the whole time.

Brooklyn also gave us spot-on menu recommendations. The salmon nachos were expertly crafted, and hand-battered chicken tenders were delish!

And don’t miss the gorgeous light displays over the bar, they make the whole space feel extra special. Even the bathroom decor contributes to the atmosphere! :)

Thanks to Brooklyn, what started as a convenient stop next to our hotel turned into a birthday I’ll never forget. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you’re lucky enough to sit at her bar!

A wonderful time was had!!! My best friend and I was searching for a nice place to attend at 12:30, we googled and was able to make a 12:45pm time. Both our first time and we were both equally impressed. The hostess was the sweetest and traded out a chair we had an issue with. Our waitress Kita!!! She was the highlight of our experience. Her smile was infectious, she had such warm spirit, and though she was clearly busy, she made us feel like we were her only patrons. I highly recommend requesting her as your waitress. The food was 10/10! We ordered the hot lemon pepper wings, gumbo, and turkey ribs. I don’t eat pork and was able to experience gumbo for the first time because of the non pork options that are offer. We decided very quickly that we would maintain a standing once a month reservation. The DJ had us literally dancing out the door. The photographer work was so good we bought 2 pictures!

I've had the tenders 3 days in one week. They're 🔥🔥🔥🔥. And Brooklyn was my server. She was the best bartender/server that I've ever had. Definitely ask for her when you go.

Brooklyn L.: service was phenomenal. You don’t find a lot of great customer service these days. 10’s across the board. I’ll be back b/c of her!

Had a few of their dishes, gumbo, jerk shrimp, catfish, lemon wings. All of them were great! Make sure to get the cheescake. I'll come back again when I'm in town.

My fiancée and I came here for brunch, and unfortunately it was one of the worst brunch experiences we’ve ever had. The vibe was more like a nightclub than a brunch spot — the floors were sticky, and there was no coffee or brunch cocktail menu. We had to order off-menu just to get a “regular” Bloody Mary, and it was awful. Sweet, like someone added sugar or artificial sweetener. We both took one sip and couldn’t drink it. Easily the worst Bloody Mary I’ve ever had.

The food was much better. I had the catfish and grits, which were very good, and my partner had the gumbo, which was also solid. But the service was terrible. Our server, Crystal, didn’t check on us for at least 20 minutes after bringing the food. When we finished eating, we sat there trying to flag her down for the check with no luck. I eventually had to get up and ask for it, and even then it took another 5 minutes before she came back.

On top of all that, they added a random $12 fee to the bill, so two entrees, a side of corn, and one bad Bloody Mary ended up costing $80.

This place might be fine as a late-night bar, but for brunch it was a total miss. Between the sticky floors, awful drinks, nonexistent service, and hidden fees, I honestly have no idea how this place has 4.7 stars. Definitely would not recommend for brunch.

The service and the food were great! I was actually very surprised with the quality of the food to be honest. The staff was attentive and friendly. My only real gripe was how loud the music was. The music selection was a vibe but the sheer volume gave club instead of a restaurant. Also the bathrooms were filthy. Cleanliness in all aspects of a restaurant are important not just the kitchen and dining areas.

This place was awesome. From the time we walked in the door until we walked out. The service was good, the food was good and the drinks were an awesome. The overall vibe was nice and chilled. They also played music and it was good as well. I would definitely recommend this place. 10/10
When we go to visit go back to Memphis I will definitely make this one of my must visit spots!!!
