Spent the weekend in Memphis and was looking for a place to have a drink not on Beale Street. We ended up here and we’re pleasantly surprised. The drinks were good, the service better. We wish we had waited to eat here because our new bar friends said the food was some of the best in downtown Memphis.

Loved their Old Fashioned, but their chile infused Spicy Margarita put my away.

A real nice chill spot. The bartender was very knowledgeable and picked out perfect drinks for us. The couches and TV were great for the atmosphere. The only complaint was the smell from the hot garbage outside.

This is my first time doing to the Belle Tavern after COVID. We ordered the chargrilled oysters, the prime burger and a couple of drinks. It was a hair in my friend’s Little Lilly. The bartender was like oh no! But replace it. I ordered The business, my glass had a dried film around the rim, when i asked him he said they dip the glass in something so whatever. The burger was ok, a little overcooked for medium, but no big deal but the fries were way too salty. The cook said it was the salt in the truffle oil and the bartender said they probably didn’t cleaned them bowl before tossing the fries. Salt and oil don’t mix, they’re not chemically alike. I’m sorry I didn’t leave a tip, 20% gratuity was enough

A hole-in-the-wall alley tavern that’s easy to miss unless you’re looking for it, with a remarkable collection of spirits and a very pleasant atmosphere!

Great cocktails and excellent whiskey selection, in including some Suntory favorites like Hibiki and Hakushu. If you’re hungry, do yourself a favor and get the Original Stone Hero sandwich – absolutely top notch.

3 whiskey old fashioned did not disappoint nor did their version of a fried green tomato BLT. Thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely go again!
