    Bourbon
    Vachenzia M.

    Enjoyed Happy Hour at Tugs. Sent spinach dip back bc it tasted really bland. But enjoyed gumbo and a Bourbon cocktail. Had a great vibe as well.

    Pretty good House Green Salad....

    We are lucky to have this here. Might be the only place on Mud Island to get pizza? The not so lucky: the food is decent, I would never get psyched up to come eat it though. The best thing about this place is the location and the servers are nice. Our server did not write down our orders, so consequently, my salad had tomatoes on it when I ordered no tomatoes and my wife's sliders had cheese on them when she asked for no cheese, (lactose intolerant.) The best thing was the pizza. It tastes exactly, I mean exactly like Shaky's Pizza, from the crust to the sauce to even the appearance! Some people turn their nose up at Shakey's pizza, but I like all pizza because it is all different.... We will be back because it's the only game in town .... PS. Some people are complaining about the prices, but they seem completely fair to me.

    Been here several times and always enjoy. For mud island the prices feel pretty reasonable and food is always tasty. Decent veg/pescatarian options too. Service has always been good whether it be dining room, bar or outdoors. Outdoors is really nice too, on not too hots days you can look at the river. I don't live on the island anymore but I would go back.

    Blackened Chicken Pasta

    My friend picked this place. He said the burgers were good so I had to try one. The burger was good. I liked that it wasn't too sweet. Everything else here was just ok but my wife seemed like she liked it. To me the loaded fries weren't loaded enough. The pasta my wife got was decent but it was just ok too. I don't think I would come back unless the same friend invited me.

    Cajun omelette AMAZING
    Justice R.

    Got the Cajun omelette. Seasoned well, I added bacon to mine It came with shrimp crawfish peppers an onions. With a side of potatoes and a cup of gumbo Gumbo a bit spicy but still good. First time here an the mimosas was ok wasn't a fan of the tropical flavor. Very very sweet Pineapple was decent decent

    Tugs . . , Neighborhood casual dining!! Let's go!!

    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.

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.

    I've been to BarWare three times now, and each visit has been its own little adventure…read more Visit #1: Absolute perfection. The female bartender was on it--friendly, fast, and she introduced me to my new signature drink, the Hold On To Your Britches. If you like a sweet cocktail, prepare to fall in love. I only needed a small bite, so I tried the grilled cheese... and honestly, it was silly good. The kind of good that ruins all future grilled cheeses. Trust me: get it. Visit #2: Stopped in just for drinks. Still good, but service was slooooow. I would've ordered another round, but eventually tapped out. Visit #3: Visited for Downtown Dining Week. The Caesar salad was basically lettuce in a monologue--no cheese, no croutons, just lonely leaves in dressing. Entrées tasted good but were tiny. My pasta was so spicy I couldn't finish it, but the short ribs with mashed potatoes were legitimately delicious. When I go back for visit #4 (and I will), I'm sticking with what BarWare does best: that fruity cocktail and the holy-grail grilled cheese. The ambiance and seating options are too good to stay away, even if the service and a couple dishes miss the mark now and then.

    What an atrocious experience. If I had not wanted to see the march of the ducks so badly, I would…read morehave left. As a first time visitor to Memphis, I was expecting this to be one of the highlights of my trip and it most assuredly was not. We walked into the bar area and instead of being greeted, we were screamed at to take a seat and that if we did not take a seat, we had to leave. This directive appeared to be from a manager, who we later saw walking around the lobby area. We had only arrived moments earlier and were just getting settled. There was no sign so we were unaware of this. I'm baffled that this could not have been stated kindly. A "Welcome, please take a seat as there is no standing during this time and we will bring over a menu shortly" would have been perfect. Our server was awful. We ordered drinks and she immediately closed my tab, even though I had not requested that it be closed. I knew right then I was going to order another drink. I understood that it was busy, but it took almost 20 minutes to get a second cocktail and another 10-15 for my whiskey pour, both of which were ordered after the duck march and after the crowd had dissipated. I ordered my whiskey on the rocks, which I often do, but have never had it served with SO many. Way to water down this proprietary spirit collaboration between the establishment and Jack Daniel's, which I had been very excited to try, but left me disappointed. Our server barely checked in with us. Looking at the current health score, I am surprised that we did not get sick here. I am unsure why we were treated so badly. I am not poor nor do I look poor and even if I was, that is no excuse for bad service. The bar is open to non-guests of the hotel, so if it was because I was not staying at the hotel that was a choice I made because I typically do not stay in hotels, with bath/shower combos, especially ones that were recently redone, so as much as I wanted to stay here that was an nonstarter. It is highly unlikely that I would ever consider returning in any capacity, despite wanting to try the spa, the bakery, and other restaurant and retail amenities in this hotel. It is shameful to have had such a déclassé experience in such an elegant establishment.

    Came in on a Saturday night and the place was dark, with a long narrow lounge, and casual seating…read more The staff were nice and welcoming. I'm used to going to cigar lounges where you have a variety of cigars to choose from, but at this establishment, they pick one out for you based on what you normally prefer. Ironically, my husband and I had very different taste in cigars but ended up with the same cigar. Not sure what happened but we went with it. The drinks are all served in a ceramic cup which I believe they were trying to go for the prohibition theme, except our drinks were room temperature, not chilled or iced. For an old fashion and a lemon drop, you need the drink to be at least chilled. Because it was in a small ceramic cup, I feel like my cocktail was incredibly small, it was warm and it did not taste good. They nickeled and dimed us on the bill by charging us for the cocktail and the liquor separately then they charged a mandatory 20 percent tip after they handed us the signed copy of the bill with a tip suggestion of 10, 15, or 20 percent. No where does it state that a mandatory 20 percent tip was included in the final bill and why would you suggest I give you an additional tip after you already charged me a mandatory 20 percent? That is shady. Overall, the lounge was dark and the seating was pretty average. The cost for drinks and for how it taste was not worth it. The inability to pick your cigar limits your options and the fact they didn't disclose that a mandatory 20 percent tip, would make me not want to come back.
