Lounges in Memphis

Bar Sovereign is Memphis's most acclaimed craft cocktail lounge — a Cooper-Young neighborhood bar where exceptional bartenders create cocktails of genuine artistry in an intimate setting that serves Memphis's most sophisticated drinking community. The bar's commitment to quality ingredients, precise technique, and genuine hospitality has made it the benchmark for Memphis cocktail culture beyond the tourist experience of Beale Street.

Flying Saucer Draught Emporium in Memphis is one of the South's most celebrated beer bars — a downtown Memphis establishment with 230+ beers on tap and bottle, a rewards program for committed beer explorers, and the kind of convivial beer-hall atmosphere that makes it a gathering point for Memphis's craft beer community. Its Peabody Place location, adjacent to the FedExForum and the Peabody Hotel, positions it perfectly for pre- and post-event drinks.
