Guidebook for Memphis
Drinks & Nightlife
We LOVE this place. Irish pub-esque scene without the actual Irish culture and food. Perfect for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays and for a casual late night drink (especially downstairs)! You must try the breakfast shot and the breakfast burrito!

My favorite bar in Memphis. You can go at any time of the day and Loflin will be a great time! Mostly an outdoor bar with indoor options. The outdoor area has multiple fire pits and areas to sit. There is also a back building that is sometimes rented out on the weekends (which means it's unfortunately blocked off) but it's a great place to play ping pong, card games, or watch a Grizzlies game!
Loflin also has incredible food and signature drinks. The bartenders are extremely friendly and quick to whip up a good drink! This bar is also animal friendly so you might see a few adorable pups while you're there! Great place to meet friendly people in a very community atmosphere!

Quite possibly the coolest (and maybe oldest) bar in Memphis. Located in South Main, Earnestine & Hazel's looks deceiving from the outside. But once you walk in, you'll feel like you've been in Memphis all your life. This brothel-turned-bar is a safe and fun bar late night. Lots of locals go here and swear that the E & H Soul Burger (which you HAVE to get- I recommend putting your chips in your burger, too) saves them from the dreaded Sunday hangover.
While they used to only serve beer, there is a "secret" liquor bar upstairs. You have to go meet Nate the bartender. Sweetest and most amazing man in the world. It's a cash bar for the liquor upstairs so be sure to bring some!

Love this place for live music! There are two different rooms/music scenes at the Tin Roof on Beale. When you first walk in, there is live music- usually country or today's hits music. In the room adjacent, called the "Green Room," is more of a rap/ dance scene.

This is one of my favorite places to eat. It's a bit more expensive and some of the items on the menu I definitely had to look up but the food cannot be beat. It's more of an upscale, homemade Italian cuisine. Perfect for a date night! You can also walk around South Main after!

THE BEST PULLED PORK IN MEMPHIS (in my opinion)! My favorite item on the menu is the BBQ Pork Nachos. Honestly, the small portion is massive and can feed 1 or more adult males. They also serve local beer! The Butler St. location is also close to The Loraine and the National Civil Rights museum which are must- sees in Memphis.

The Bourbon St. of Memphis (a little cleaner though.) Even locals still visit Beale Street for any of the festivals in Memphis and before and after Grizzlies games! You can catch live Jazz music at a number of the bars/restaurants on Beale.
I recommend Silky O'Sullivans for a giant beer and Dyer's for a burger. For nightlife, I recommend Tin Roof! The have two different areas at Tin Roof. When you first walk inside there is a live band- typically country or today's music. The room attached to Tin Roof, called the Green room, is more of a rap/dance scene.
