    Rob Coletta the manager is just amazing.. and handsome! Great eccentric place to meet all walks of life kind of people. Lots of service industry people go here and it's in the heart of Midtown so it's got a hipster vibe with great people! Never any drama.. its definitely always a great time.. not to mention the cutest doggy Stella who is just another patron to everyone who visits

    When in Memphis you gotta make sure you go to Midtown & hit up Canvas! Keeping consistent with the Art scene in Midtown Memphis, Canvas supports & honors local artists by promoting their artwork not only throughout the bar but with a huge mural in the back. They also have some pretty dope concepts/themes during the week and seem to always have a pretty good crowd and vibe from all of the snapchats and social media I've seen prior to coming and checking them out. Definitely highly recommended if you're looking for a "Hot & New" bar in Memphis, or a different option with great scenery and ambiance.

    I used to live in midtown and I wish this place had been here when I lived here. Kind of had the dive bar feel, but clay at the same time. A paradox if you must. Chill, beautiful, amicable, and affordable. If you want a place to enjoy outstanding food, best drink prices in midtown, amazing customer service, good mixed drinks, and a decent wine selection then this is your place. I can't say enough great things about this place. I highly recommend this place.

    Located in Midtown Memphis - which is the art district - this is a funky, eclectic bar that is a must-visit.

    We attended a private event here. The upstairs space is the Tailor's Union and it is a great venue…read morefor gatherings. The Pocket is a downstairs venue and it is VERY nice. There is a large bar top with very nice barstools, a dinner style seating area, a small stage for performances, an area that can either be a dance floor or anything else, and a wonderful back area as a private lounge. The private lounge has privacy glass. It can be a VIP area, or a cigar lounge, or another venue space. There are restrooms for men and women. I was impressed with The Pocket layout. It is accessible from a wonderfully historic staircase from the Tailor's Union upstairs. I loved that at the beginning of the staircase coming down, there is an original fireplace in the brick wall of the stairwell, super original and very nostalgic to the space. Overall, I recommend this space for venues. I hope that they are bookable on Peerspace or another venue space site. Great experience.

    So I was looking for hidden bars and speakeasies, as I normally do. I found this and it was super…read moreinteresting 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.
