Rafaela ComunelloNovember 8, 2014Nice and historical place. Meet the rooms upstairs, wich are kind of creepy but fun. Great Soul Burger.
MarcJuly 31, 2020DailyMeal: “1 of best dive bars, &1 of best brgrs. Get Soul Brgr, simple bun/patty/onion/chz/pick &Soul Sauce. Other option is Dbl Soul Brgr, also good. Check out haunted jukebox, DJd by ghosts”
Serious EatsJuly 7, 2014Don't expect local microbrews or a lengthy vegetarian and gluten-free menu. Enjoy a cold brew, listen to the music, and chat with the bartender for stories.
Sharbour RayNovember 8, 2018Great "Haunted" Dive Bar...for live blues music - beer - and MEMPHIS made burgers! Be sure to visit the upstairs haunted rooms...
Mike MossJune 1, 2016Solid dive bar, with history dripping from the walls. Liquor is only served Wed - Sat in the bar upstairs, and beer selection is basic, but it works. Get in here.
Alexis J.March 14, 2016The atmosphere alone is enough to make me want to go back! The sol burger was amazing! Go to the second floor and look for hazel :)
David RamseyJuly 15, 2017Dive AF! id est, really quite enjoyable. Beers cost a bit more than at home - but cheaper than Beale St. Also, jukebox has so many great tunes!
Lindsey KoehlerDecember 20, 2013The coolest bar I've ever been to. I love that it's a little dive but has so much history. And the burgers are awesome too.
Max HooverJanuary 31, 2013I'm 15 and coming to a dive bar like this doesn't make me regret it. There's a sort of serenity in sitting and enjoying the decaying, historical, vintage brothel.
heather wallaceNovember 6, 2018Great atmosphere but not vegetarian/vegan friendly unless you want potato chips
Ben WoffDecember 21, 2014THE classic dive bar for downtown Memphis. Check out the haunted upstairs, too, if you dare.
Alex SyNovember 26, 2017Check out the secret bar upstairs complete with creepy restrooms and bathtubs.
Do not use the restroom here. Especially the restroom on the 2nd floor. There's at least 2 ghosts up there.
The Commercial AppealJune 10, 2010The soul burger is a don't-miss, and bring plenty of $1 bills for the jukebox. And if the bartender has time, ask them to tell you about the ghosts that haunt the Downtown joint.
Actually, if you ask Nate about ghosts, I am pretty sure he will tell you he doesn't believe in them but do ask him about the history of the place. He knows all about it.
KirstenNovember 4, 2011This has got to be the only bar in Memphis where you can have your beer in a bathtub. Head upstairs and get in.- Alex SyNovember 26, 2017The burger here is the final evolution of the McDonald’s double cheeseburger. A. Must. Try.
IFCJuly 6, 2011Your average dive bar, that’s not your average dive bar. The soul burger, night scene, jukebox, and history of the place make the environment and its raving reviews.
Katie PitreSeptember 6, 2014Ultra dive. Stick to Bud Light & play the jukebox. Conveniently located right next door to Amtrak station.
Darren PortJanuary 26, 2012On the weekends they open the 'Bar' upstairs. Have a couple of beers with the guy... He's been here almost 30 years!- Christopher CollinsOctober 25, 2010Get a Soul Burger and dance to the best jukebox in the world. Really gets going around 12:00 on the weekends.
Dan LamFebruary 1, 2013Service is super nice here. This is where they filmed 'My Blueberry Nights' starring Norah Jones, Rachel Weisz and David Strathairn.
Remember to chat it up with Keenan the head barman and Soul Burger Specialist. Tell him "S." sent you..
- Tour the "haunted" upstairs. Get a soul burger.
- Elizabeth GaglianoOctober 17, 2011The best soul burgers in Memphis in a haunted brothel? Sign me up.
