This is a cool spot that I never knew was in the city until I was invited to a private event. When…read moreyou walk in, it feels like you are walking right into the 80s or 90s or at least that seems when the last update was. You surely get a nostalgic feeling. The thing I notice is that they are very inclusive. They have several nights including karaoke, comedy, drag shows, and various event nights throughout the week. The owner is super sweet and inviting. She made sure to go around and speak to everyone that was there. During my visit, I did order food. I had the chess club sandwich. It is served on white bread and is filled with salami, bacon, gouda, lettuce pickle and onions. It was ok. It took forever for it to come out. People who had arrived way after us received their food quicker than we did. I had to go to the bar several times to ask about our food. I found out that the bartender was also the cook, so that semi explains the delay. I had a salad along with my sandwich. It was ok. I couldn't eat it all because the dressing was not good. I do want to state that it is a cool place to dive into if you are looking for something to do throughout the week. I not sure if the food is meant to be the central focus, but they so have vegan options in addition to a full craft and alcoholic beverage menu.

Yes, it does feel a bit dated, but that is not a bad thing. The staff is overall friendly and the drinks are cold. Bars have a long history of being a spot to gather in both good times and bad. It is a place where we cam escape the stress of our day and enjoy a drink. Memphis, Tennessee is fortunate to have this bar.

They had a great band going downstairs, but I highly recommend heading upstairs to check out all the rooms and the other bar and live music if you want something a bit quieter!

Their special sauce is house made and a highlight of my meal. The restaurant itself can be a bit loud so it's not optimal for intimate conversation or for older folks who might have problems hearing; but it is perfect for a lively environment to get your energy up. This is a seat yourself establishment. There is indoor and outdoor seating. When the weather is nice they will open up the glass doors.

This was my 15th visit, so I figured it was finally time to leave a review! The burgers here never…read moredisappoint. They're always cooked fresh to order, served piping hot, and incredibly juicy. The burgers are medium-sized, but they also offer a double burger option. I usually choose the regular cheeseburger, but this time I tried the "Chiflet," made with Snake River Farms Wagyu beef and topped with applewood smoked bacon, egg, and American cheese on a potato bun. Absolutely delicious! They also feature a daily burger special, which keeps the menu interesting. The crinkle fries are consistently hot and pair perfectly with the burgers. On top of that, they offer a great selection of both imported and domestic beers. The staff is always super friendly. Overall, it's a great spot to grab a burger, hang out, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Everyone who works there is super friendly. The decor is great. It feels like a dark, dingy bar but it's really nice. The stage is set up well and you can see it well from anywhere you sit. There's also a patio area outside where you can smoke and there are televisions outside that show a live view of the stage so you don't miss your show if you step outside. They get some incredibly talented folks playing shows there. Highly recommend going on a night where they have Chicken S#*t Bingo. It's a lot of fun and super cheap to play.

The bartender made it to my taste since I am not a heavy drinker , with a light hand as requested. Highly recommend all tourists to get it out- the parking lot has security guards and I felt safe inside as well.
