I was walking by, after leaving the Peabody, and this young woman started hollering at me that I needed a martini. That is how it started.
She also mentioned that it was Martini Monday, and that martinis were $6. I was walking by with a friend and we were heading to a shop up the street. Well, I started thinking, maybe I DO need a martini. I had also just walked 14,000 steps all over Memphis in the afternoon and looked a hot mess, but she insisted. My friend was not interested, so I moseyed on over solo and took a seat at the bar. That is where I met my new favorite Memphian, Ashley. Lemme tell ya, that young lady can make a martini. ALLLLL their martinis were $6 and they are not making them with bottom shelf liquors. I had a Penicillin and a Bubble Bath. One is made with Patron and the other with Ketel One. They were perfectly balanced and cold. I don't typically go for really sweet drinks but when in Memphis. Plus these were not candy sweet, they were made with good ingredients and on the sweeter side. They were delighful.
As was the service. I don't remember the other girls name, who brought me in, but she and Ashely were great. It wasn't busy and we chatted a bit. I told them it was my first time to Memphis and they could not have been more friendly or welcoming. Told me a bit of the history about the place, and gave some other recommendations in the area. I will definitely make it a point to come back here. read more
