Specialty beers brewed on site |
2120 Madison Avenue Memphis, TN 38104 United States +1 901 432 2222 http://www.boscosbeer.com/ |
This brewpub features several beers made on site, including Boscos Flaming Stone Beer, concocted using traditional German brewing techniques that give the beer its unique caramel character. Also on tap are India Pale Ale, Scottish Ale and various seasonal offerings. The specialty pizzas, such as the vegetarian, barbecue chicken, and New York and Santa Fe varieties, are the best bets. Pastas, sandwiches, salads and grill items are also available. The Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip and the battered and fried calamari appetizers are especially good.

Best hamburger in Memphis |
1927 Madison Avenue Memphis, TN 38104 United States +1 901 726 9767 |
The burgers are definitely big and juicy, but many customers are drawn by the deep fried onion rings and mushrooms, the live music on Sunday afternoons, and the late evening hours. If you are looking for something besides burgers, try the tamales with chili, cheddar cheese, and onion, the chicken or steak on a stick, or the fried mushrooms. There is a full bar, where beer is a specialty.The atmosphere is casual, with a couple of gimmicks. Customers are encouraged to write graffiti on the walls (and to read it, of course), and to shoot toothpicks through straws so they stick in the ceiling. Lunchtime draws area office workers.

 Female impersonator shows |
1268 Madison Avenue (Between Claybrook and Bellevue) Memphis, TN 38104 United States +1 901 725 1909 |
Located in respectable, artsy Midtown, this place has been in Memphis longer than any other establishment catering to the gay population. It remains known as the best spot to see a female impersonator show. Cher, Barbara, Diana Ross - you can catch them all here and for a fraction of their Las Vegas prices. The bar is open 24 hours a day, unusual in this fairly conservative community, making it a great place to go if you're in jet lag and cannot sleep. Drink specials change each night. The show is performed Thursday through Saturday nights only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bar is a Midtown favorite |
2586 Poplar Avenue Memphis, TN 38122 United States +1 901 324 1233 |
A long-time favorite with Midtowners, this bar draws patrons from across Memphis who like to party, especially mid-week when a lot of area bars are more sedate. The emphasis here is the gathering of folks, rather than trendy decorating. A friendly and eclectic atmosphere highlights this watering hole, located between Midtown and East Memphis, and is a popular gathering spot for singles. Live music is often featured. Bluegrass Memphis-style ;with drums and electric guitar backing up the fiddler is a regular Sunday night attraction. Review © 2007, Wcities |
