Enjoyed it. This was a great spot for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. Drinks where great, the band was great....

Nice upscale spot for the professional crowd. There was no initial cover but there was a $25 charge for non members downstairs where the live band was performing. They're were no servers, just bartenders, so you must order at the bar so food orders took an extremely long time to come out. I ended up having to cancel part of my order due to over an hour wait. However, I will return but go downstairs where there is more wait staff.

The staff and patrons are incredibly inviting. The cocktails and music are fantastic. We were under dressed but we're not made to feel uncomfortable. The experience was far beyond expectations.

So I was looking for hidden bars and speakeasies, as I normally do. I found this and it was super interesting because you have to walk through a shop that doesn't look like a restaurant storefront but it looks like a clothing store storefront. I thought that was a really dope idea that you have to walk in and then walk behind whatever you think it's supposed to be there to find the actual bar. When you come in the building is kind of dark. But when you walk back to the bar, it's super white and lit. It looks beautiful! We talked to the owner for a little bit, he was super nice and super friendly. My drink was good. Customer service was pretty good as well. We got there too late to where there was no food, but that's not why we were coming. This is a nice little hidden gem. That's the way the owner described it! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Overall great vibe! The atmosphere is perfect for a grown and sexy date night. Was a little disappointed that they didn't have crab cakes or hummus when I went. Also be advised, the service was a little slow for food and drinks, but once we got our order, I had a smile back on my face. If you like "girlie" drinks I recommend Lavender Buttons and Tyrone's Sangria . Also the Long Island was nice and strong.

I've heard the rumors of a members only club in Downtown Memphis. They are true!!! Wow. Very nice. I loved it. Upstairs is a different vibe called Tailor on Union but downstairs is the members only The Pocket. It's mellow and rich and smooth. Very welcoming staff and a great bar. There's also a cigar room. There was a band playing smooth R&B to add to the laid back feel. Can't wait to go back.
Let's talk about this little jewel in "THE POCKET"! There is a nice security guy at door and he is exceeding his job!! Dress code is strictly enforced for women and men!! No t-shirts for sure as I saw women get turned around at the door very kindly. When you walk in it's a hug mirror waiting to catch your beauty! The ambiance, the decor, atmosphere is modern and very welcoming. Now that you know to wear your good clothes but remember parking is not that easy downtown ladies. The MENU......dice rolled!! Ladies the 1st drink is free on Friday nights! I had a Red Blend wine that was top shelf delicious! I ordered the white bean hummous but that didn't have it available. I choose the shrimp tacos and truffle parmesan fries. Now the shrimp tacos and truffle parmesan fries were so appealing! That plating skills were fantastic!! Now I'm looking pretty, sitting pretty and about to eat pretty! The shrimp tacos were fresh, seasoned to perfection and they had the nerve to warm them flour shells!! By now I to dig in them truffle fries! Now I asked the waiter was the fries in Truffle Oil or truffle seasoning? She told me it's a truffle oil they use!! I was so excited if you don't know about Truffle Oil vs Truffle seasoning, please use Google right now! By far the waiter knew the menu AND the ingredients!! Them darn truffle fries was absolutely delicious!! Cooked not too hard not too soft! Tossed LIGHTLY in truffle oil now to over power the parmesan!! Let not forget to give the vibe and groove credit to DJ Juice that played all genre music and kept my knees hurting!!

While the location seemed to have great potential, myself and another guest received ZERO service (Friday night 1030PM). There was 1 guy and 2 females working the bar. After 15 minutes I inquired with the male bartender about service and he says, “If you want my service you have to come over here”. I asked if servers were available and he said yes and motioned to one of the female servers. After 30 minutes of ZERO customer service, my guest and I left.

They refused to let my guy in because he didn’t have a collar shirt on but he had on designer tshirt, jeans and shoes( Gucci) but people were in their with ripped jeans and collarless shirts . When I asked the I guess so call whatever she was she said it’s our policy and to point them out so she could ask them to leave as well .I told her that’s not my job that’s your job to do that . I paid for a VIP booth ( of which I will be disputing the charge ) to have my guests turned away at the door. Unacceptable, ridiculous and the even worst part was it was dead and dry with the band. I have no desire to return and would not recommend anyone to come here .
