About The Dame Bar

The Dame Bar, located downstairs at the Hotel Pontotoc, offers a stylish and intimate setting with a decor that is both cozy and upscale, featuring Manhattan chic elements and a swanky vibe. The atmosphere is perfect for late-night drinks, business meetings, or relaxing with friends, especially when the private courtyard is used on nice nights. The venue is known for its friendly bartenders and good service, creating a welcoming environment despite a few issues. The decor, music—sometimes live—and overall vibe make it a fun and cool spot that feels like a hidden gem in Memphis.

The bar serves a variety of cocktails, including the delicious Pontoc, a spin on the Negroni, martinis, and the Elvis-themed “Hip Shaker.” The popcorn sampler is a great snack to enjoy with drinks. The venue is especially popular with hotel guests who want a nice place to unwind, and it’s praised for its good drinks and friendly staff.

However, some concerns include the high prices for classic cocktails, which can be over $18 before taxes and tips, making them expensive after all charges. There was also an issue with a special on the menu that was not honored, which disappointed some guests. Despite these drawbacks, The Dame’s inviting atmosphere, great drinks, and overall experience make it a notable spot in Memphis.
