    I was so nervous and hesitant about going here but when I say they treated me with so much respect and love. It was awesome the owner was so friendly and lovable. Now I have to admit the food selection isn't the best but it its ok.....

    I wish I could designate this as an "art bar"... Is that a thing? Anyways, it was super chill and I liked the decour-- it's like a neighborhood bar and a little cleaner than your typical dive bar, but filled with cool people and your basic liquor selection. Also they have a patio! When we walked in someone was playing around with a Nerf gun, but luckily I survived to write about it.

    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.

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.

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.

However, that's after the first round of first bread course, then meal which included entree and two veggies. The food was good. But, I bribe the kitchen was overloaded . The consistency and frequency of food being reordered didn't meet the mark. The waitress was serving as the server and the bartender. Hats off to her!! The DJ played a good music variety. I recommend going with a small party. Even thou it was only 4 of us.

The mimosas kept coming as well We made reservations for 12p for a bday celebration we did arrive about 30 minutes late but we were seated right away. Half of our party was there waiting, everyone get seated once everyone arrives. Once you sit, they come back with the mimosas, then they start with the starters, entree, meats and sides! As soon as we sat down we were viewing the menu and ready to order! I did have to go find our waiter but after that she was on point with coming back to take our order! Everything was delicious!!!! Everyone kept saying how good their food was. I tasted everything except the greens(everyone who had them said somebody's grandma was back in the kitchen cooking) and the wings. No one had any complaints tho. The mimosas were mixed perfectly as well. I'm already planning my next brunch date at the WKND! 100000/10
