My service dog and I got an order to go and everyone was so kind. The breakfast sandwich was really good (fries didn't keep well on the walk back to our hotel BUT WHAT FRIES DO) and I can't wait to go back tonight to experience the atmosphere! read more

The Brass Door is a great new restaurant. Unlike the previous reviewer I was thrilled to see that this place was true to its roots as an Irish pub and didn't serve typical bar food. While there I got to try the fried goat cheese with chile infused honey, and it was great. I also ordered the fish and chips which were also great. You could tell that a lot of effort went into making the food authentic and elevating it from its humble origins. The price was great as well. My only complaint is that the drink menu was a little light on the authentic Irish drinks. Overall I had a great time, and wish Memphis had more places like this. read more

Classic Celtic fare Guiness served just right and I am like Goldilocks when it comes to my Guinness. Good staple menu items and intriguing specials the two times I have been. Definitely marked a be back joint for me. read more

Great Food, had the salmon and mussels, tasted like it was caught that day, wife did fish and chips she loved it, we will be back!

We stopped into The Brass Door tonight prior to the Redbirds game. We were looking forward to trying this spot after looking at the pictures. Still new to Memphis, we are still trying to find "our spot." Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, they seemed to be out of a few things. Fish and chips they said they had... two orders of fish and chips - each with one piece of fish. Hmmm... not at all like the pictures that show three? Not a good value at all. Just be upfront folks. We would have understood. read more

Not open called. Voicemail says they are. If I could give zero star rating I would Memphis used to be fun. No longer. Skip Memphis every chance you get. read more

Loved this place. I had the fish and chips and it's got to be the best in Memphis. I got two BIG pieces of fish and the fries are so good, I can't even think of enough words to describe them. Wasn't crazy about the sauce that came with it, but they had regular tarter sauce. Since I've been there I have sent about 20 of my co-workers there and they have all liked it. I can't wait to go back. Matter of fact, a group of us are going to lunch there on Thursday to celebrate some office Birthdays! read more

This is a solid lunch spot downtown. Salads are superb and I have had some delectable specials. The fish & chips are right up there with my favorites in Memphis. I even splurged on some bread pudding once - did NOT suck at all. I have always had friendly, quick service. I have got to hit this place at night sometime. I love the Jameson, which they seem to serve up right. If I can get a proper poor of Guinness or Smithwick's, I am one happy yelper. Stay tuned..... read more

The Brass Door is a great place. Not only do they serve 'Palm' in a proper glass, with other nice, traditional Irish Taps, the food is actually good. Yes, really good in some circumstances. Fish and chips are great (btw, the chips or fries might be the best in Memphis) the shrimp on toast is amazing. OK, so maybe some things are not so 'traditional', but you will feel treated nicely, have some good beers and most likely hear some serious Irish accents in this place. I've never had a bad experience here. And, another btw, the chef gives a damn. And you can tell, because he'll come out and say 'hi', in between yelling at the kitchen staff. Go, have fun, and call a cab! read more

The Brass Door is top-scale, a quintessential component of the Memphis experience. You can get authentic Irish cuisine, and the staff are all excellent. The owner, Séamus, took great care of my friends and me. We (the Memphis Irish Society - memphisirish.com) came to put on a public event. The Brass Door made sure everyone who came had a great time. The folks at the Door care about promoting authentic Irish culture in Memphis in the spirit of "fáilte" (welcome). Whether you're at The Door for a Memphis Irish Society event or if you're just stopping by for lunch, you're going to have a wonderful, memorable time. The ambience is both that of a true Irish pub while also maintaining the building's old Memphis roots. This pub is a Memphis landmark and a treasure for the city. read more

We arrived in town late on Valentine's day and were looking for a chill place to get some dinner. The Brass Door was perfect! I had the burger with some tasty carrot-ginger soup, husband had fish & chips. House wine was good, particularly for $5 a glass. Nice atmosphere, and the bartender (who was also acting as the waitress) took good care of us. We would return. read more

I don't think they have had an official opening night yet but anywayyyy.. just to Update on 2nd round of food, the potato leek was amazing and the belt was yummy!!! read more

I am a fairly open person, but this bar is so gloomy, a celtic type atmosphere. they were playing some sort of trivia game and the announcer had a strong accent of irish, i couldnt understand nothing that was goin on for the life of me...I dont know. i didnt see anything interesting on the menu so I asked the kitchen for a special order of grilled shrimp !! Those were to die for along with my infamous blue moon!!! other than that nothing special about this place,,, will not return read more

We walked in after the soccer game for drinks and dinner... They were serving drinks, but said kitchen was closed... Ummmm???? There is something wrong with this picture... Not a fan. read more

Food was good. Drinks were stiff. Owner was great and asked if I needed someone to walk with me to my car (it was dark). Talk about great service. read more

Although the menu is not very large, the food is amazing. The Irish Stew and shepard's pie are well worth the visit.

Great bartenders, good selection of beer, a real neighborhood feel. I was there once and felt like I was a regular. Highly recommended.

Only three stars for my first visit since the stew serving was a bit on the lean side. However, after last Friday's B.E.L.T. I can honestly give it a solid four stars. That's a bacon, egg, lettuce, and tomato sandwich for the uninitiated. Get it with your eggs over medium and a small side of crispy veggies and you won't be disappointed! Service is always good here and they do a good job of keeping water glasses full. read more

Stopped in here for lunch, had the mussels in cream sauce. Simple, but amazing. Love the vibe and great service.

This place is delicious! I had the fish and chips. Yummy, crisp, fresh! They were by far some of the best I have had in town! This place has a great atmosphere and an extensive bar. The service was quick and I love how I could see the chef cook my meal. We will definitely be back. We conveniently found a metered parking spot just across the street from The Brass Door but there is a parking garage a short 2 min away. read more

Great place to watch an Arsenal game! I've only had the fish n chips here but they were made fresh and fantastic.

Oh man. The Brass Door is a gem. We couldn't have been more disappointed in our trip to a Memphis. Service staff not so friendly at most places, rather boring and didn't live up to the hype of "Memphis", could never find bars or places that were open, and then there's the Brass Door. Right across the street from our hotel. Always open, open early (8am compared to every other bar in the city which is either closed or doesn't open until 4pm). This truly was the saving grace of our whole trip. Friendly staff, awesome owner, fantastic food and a reliable joint to grab drinks at any time of the day. While we are leaving Memphis disappointed, The Brass Door will truly be the one thing that stood out. read more

LOVED this place! My husband and I are passing through in our RV and decided to come into Memphis for an afternoon. We arrived in the mid afternoon and were greeted by a smiling waitress who was pleasant and accommodating the entire meal. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I wanted a Guinness, which they didn't have, but they did have Murphy's which was awesome. I had the Reuben sandwich with fries and my husband had the fish and chips. Both were EXCELLENT!!! The fries were great too with the sea salt on them. Overall, a wonderful meal for a very reasonable price. read more

My teenage boys and I were in town for a soccer tournament and we weren't in the mood for BBQ so I hopped on Yelp to find something else --and landed here! Beautiful, historic space downtown but nothing too Irish about it --80s hairbands playing--Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, Poison, etc. Definitely not opposed to 80s but just wasn't expecting it. Small menu but all good offerings. I went for fish and chips, my 17yo got the shephard's pie, and my 13yo got his usual --a cheeseburger. We loved the "chips" (fries) and my fish was delicious. My son's burger was cooked medium, as he ordered. My older one loved the shephard's pie but his favorite was the seafood chowder he had as an appetizer. The only bad thing was the slice of bread that came with his chowder --nothing good about it--not even the butter. I think it was a little expensive for what it was...our check was $56 for the three of us (this included a $10 glass of chardonnay that was on the menu for $9 --but I didn't haggle over a buck). Overall I would recommend it if you're looking for an alternative to Memphis BBQ. read more

We have had several nice meals here. We love eating upstairs overlooking the restaurant (must be a pain for the servers to run up and down the steps, but they never complain!). They have good food and local beer on tap (always a plus). Try the fried goat cheese appetizer! it's amazing! read more

Amazing apps, very friendly and knowledgeable server, owner came by and introduced himself to our party. Beer selection was good. The 80s music selection was stellar. Worth the time to stop in. I will be back read more

Cute little spot for date night with my husband. Our server was lovely and made good recommendations. Caesar salad was very good even though it strangely lacks croutons. Everything is made fresh daily, which I really appreciate. read more

Awesome, friendly staff. Cool atmosphere. The fish and chips (2 for 1 special on Tuesdays) was delicious. One of my favorite bars to hang out in downtown. read more

Seamus is the man! Great food and conversation! Highly recommended...Skully is ok too.

Food was delicious as well as the drinks. Will definitely come back when I am in town.

I came here on a recommendation from a friend stationed at Memphis ANGS, and it did not dissapoint. After a few days in Memphis I found myself craving food that was not fried or cajun. This place hit the spot. All tje veggies I ate were perfectly cooked and I enjoyed every bite. The service was impeccable, the staff was friendly and involved, without being intrusive. The blue haired bartender was particularly sweet and didn't roll her eyes when I asked her details about the food. To that point, the irish coffee on the menu is a traditional Irish recipie- not just a simple coffee spiked with Jameson. If you are actually interested in experiencing Irish culture I highly recommend the Brass Door. read more

Excellent Black & Tans and very good sandwich fare. The stew was more of a "soup", but had a good flavor.

This place looks better than the food they serve. This is the third time I have given this place a try and they are often out of their Irish dishes! Surprisingly, they had the Fish & Chips, which I decided to try. The food arrived tepid with soggy fries and oil saturated batter on the fish. Not good at all. My friend ordered a grilled shrimp salad. The salad arrived with cold, non-grilled shrimp, with a handful of limp salad leaves for $15, really? If they changed to be a beer and a burger bar, I would give it a higher rating. This is not a traditional Irish bar, beware! read more

Was in town on business and this place was walking distance from my hotel. The reviews on yelp were good so I decided to give it a try. It was a Wednesday night and it was not crowded at all. The menu is not large but I think that is a good thing. I would rather them do fewer things well than try and do everything mediocre. I had the fish and chips. They were really good. The batter on the fish was perfect. The fries were good but were not traditional chips. I haven't found many places that serve the traditional chipped potatoes. Overall I enjoyed the meal. My only complaint is that I never got a refill on my water. read more

One star for breakfast. They have NO business serving breakfast. We got there about 15 min after opening. The only high chair was broken. They did not have coffee made, and it took 15 min to get it made with their 12 cup pot. The cook didn't arrive for some time, so we did not get our food for 40 min, despite being the only people there. Staff was not attentive or friendly. Burger was good. My bacon and eggs meal was not. The eggs were horrible and tasted like pure peanut oil. I asked for butter and jelly to go on my toast, and he brought me butter and said they don't have jelly "unfortunately." I asked if they have to go cups. He proceeded to bring me a small cup with a straw...but no lid. read more

We LOVED this restaurant! We were staying in Memphis overnight and couldn't find a restaurant in the neighborhood that was open. We were about to give up when we passed by The Brass Door and walked in on a whim. The waitress was awesome and super accommodating! The service was super fast and our food was steaming hot which we loved! read more

Stopped in with a friend for lunch today. Both had Fish & Chips. Just enough fried food to abate the cold beer and delicious Bloody Mary. The fish went well with curry sauce.thank you Seamus, David and Elizabeth for a good relaxing time! read more

I feel like this place has gone down hill lately. The service is pretty slow and you leave smelling horrible. There are a lot of places to go downtown, so..... read more

It's a great place for drinks and to watch a game (or two, or three, or...) the food is pretty good on most days, I especially enjoy the lunch specials. And if you ever catch them on national donut day, don't hesitate to get the donut burger! Service is pretty good, depending on who is there. read more

Wonderful brunch! The Bloody Maries were perfect and the Eggs Benedict were the best I've had in many years. The presentation was impressive. I loved the atmosphere. I will be back very soon! read more
