Dangerous and Dirty. Ex frequent local customer of this bar. Was in there with my niece on Thursday Oct 16 and we were allowed by the Dj to stand behind the booth (like we usually do) to dance and enjoy our drinks. When we left to go to the one available bathroom, she lifted the cloth line control to go under it (out of the section) and somehow the freestanding speaker next to us was knocked over into another customer. With no employee around, we confronted and checked on said customer and then continued on our way. When we returned technically early Sunday morning after 2am, they told us that my niece, myself, and my sister- who wasn’t even there that night- were banned due to what happened. As a store manager in the Memphis area it’s appalling the way management and staff took zero responsibility for the set up of the Dj booth and how a speaker that size was not properly attached to the floor or secured in any way. Additionally you’ve placed the blame onto a customer instead of taking responsibility for your own establishment. Not a good look.

Also can’t tell if they’re charging a 25 dollar cover fee to keep the doors open or because they want the customer to foot the plumbing and construction bill on both bathrooms that are in horrible condition. Sad I enjoyed this place once upon a time but will not be returning!!

The bartenders were so unbelievably rude when we were there. We were respectful of their rules and they were still so crass and cold. It was very frustrating

Bought two drinks, received an $80 bill with a $50 tip added without permission. Total of drinks were $24. Told the bar tender to remove tip, watched as he changed tip to $5. My card was still charged $80. Bar tender was inappropriate to me and my friends, tried to grab my friends breast. Called 3X to refute the charge and the bar will not call me back. Horrible place, horrible service, and completely exploitive.

Kendall (sp?) The bartender of the night made it worth the climb up the stairs to come in and hang for a bit on a slow Tuesday night. Take a few to say hey to Kendall it will be worth your time.

Yes, yes & yes, a great hideaway on the world famous Beale Street. Be prepared to entertain yourselves, but this is the perfect space for it. Live life comrades, LIVE LIFE. ☺️

I love that they have Golden Tee, but $8+ for a bottle of Bud is outrageous. I wanted to make this a permanent hangout, but the prices for drinks makes that financially irresponsible.

Lowkey place to play pool and have drinks. Stays open late.
