Cameo hands down is the best place to get drinks & don't count out their bar food. Me and my girls decided to do All Day Happy Hour which are on Monday and it didn't miss. The service was great and the drinks were even better. We tried the Mai Tai, porn star martini , frosted Jake to name a few. The star of the show for me was the Frosted Jake. It was very refreshing surprisedly. And a huge shoutout to our bartender - I believe her name was Max!!!! Keep her on board. She is everything and so nice. Don't miss this spot at all. read more

I hate writing this because I really like this spot, but people should double-check their bill. I came in last night and ordered the Ube drink. According to the menu, it's listed at $14, but my card was charged $20.54 before I even added a 20% tip. I attached screenshots of the menu, and my bank statement for reference. I understand mistakes happen, but being charged over $6 more than the listed menu price is unacceptable, especially when the bar wasn't busy. I was really disappointed because I've enjoyed coming here, but it's hard to keep supporting a local business if I can't trust that I'll be charged correctly. Hopefully this was just an honest mistake, but I'd recommend everyone check their receipt before paying! read more

This is a little bit of hidden luxury within Memphis! The vibe here is moody and a little upscale. I love their rotating seasonal menus, which offer a variety of cocktails for everyone's preferences. The bartenders are always happy to give recommendations as well. Inside, the seating area is pretty small, so it can be hard to fit a group on the weekend. Other than that, I love it for an intimate night of drinks with the girls! Expect to spend between $12-$15 per cocktail. read more

Where do I start!? I first came to Cameo for date night and I was impressed with the rather vibey northern bar feel. We had a burger and two old fashioned drinks, which we both enjoyed. The service was quick and the service was great! I came back after the Cooper Young Fest for happy hour with my girls and was so pleased to see that they have happy hour from 4-7 EVERYDAY! The bartenders are excellent, and took great care of us. We stayed for the whole happy hour. Everything is good. We also got fries, which I highly recommend. read more

Nice spot for a drink. I believe I had whatever special Old Fashion. Not sure about the other drink in the picture provided. Good vibes, good food, however not just a huge amount of seating. I think Mondays are happy hour for a good part of the day, if not all day. Good times for sure read more

Want something different with a jazz of local Vibes. This is a great spot for anyone that enjoys cocktails. They have various types but also can make you an original of your choice. Lots of options for liquor. Guys and gals behind the bar are super friendly and if you're a packers fan (which I'm not) they have the game on every Sunday. read more

Another Friday outing with the girls took us to Cameo for happy hour. It was a little empty as we arrived right at 4p but it didnt stay that way for long as I can see why. The place is small but inviting. The music playing through the speakers was like they had my spotify synced. All of my favs were playing. (Shoutout to whoever was respnaible for Melanie Fiona album The Bridge being in rotation. That's one of my favs). We were all pretty hungry so we ordered The Cameo Cheesburger and fries. It's a really nice sized burger and definitely will help soak up the "liquor" lol. From 4-7pm you get half off selected classic cocktails. I started with a French 75 and it definitely did its job. There is a cocktail on the menu called Rage Quit ($10) which simply states secret and danger. Well we decided to all try that and let's just say the danger snuck up on us lol I also had a Cosmo which was delicious as well. By this time we are felling really good but need to use the bathroom. We then discover there is a photobooth in the back area. It was pretty comical trying to get all 3 of us in the frame. We chatted with the staff afterwards to let them know that the we had a great experience. If you're looking for a nice happy hour spot, I highly suggest Cameo. read more

Honestly, this was not the review I expected to write. Cameo had been on my list to try since it first opened and after 3-4 canceled/rescheduled drink dates with friends, I finally went. I had heard nothing but good things, and for the majority of my time there, it was great. I ordered two espresso martinis - the draft one that they do some sort of mix with something. I'm not really sure how they made it, but it was excellent! Not everyone can do an espresso martini and it's easy to mess up, but they overwhelmingly succeeded. The bartender making the drinks was a bit rude and standoffish, but I didn't think too much of it. I appreciate at least a little friendliness and customer-facing personality, but it is what it is. The issue? The posted price for each espresso martini was $14. I bought two. Tell me why my bill was $41... Well, the prices are not inclusive of any taxes or fees, which in my experience is so misleading in a bar. That was an additional $7, on top of the automatic gratuity of 20%, which is what I would normally do, but was tainted by a price that wasn't honest in my opinion. In addition, a friend ordered my second one and told me explicitly that he paid for it, yet it was also included on my tab; I was happy to pay for it, but being charged twice for the same drink just furthered the dishonest feel. In summary, the drinks were fantastic. The service was eh. The charging/pricing was absurd. read more

To start, the place has an exceptional ambiance. Warm during the winter, and quite intimate. Their basket of fries come seasoned and are a good option with their assortment of drinks. Their classic burger tastes a bit like a homemade burger with all the fixings, and it's quite tasty. Service is solid, and they're open late on the weekends. Parking can be tricky, and limited but that's not a big deal. I'll be trying to fit this place in more! read more

Such a cute spot for Happy Hour! Our drinks were served strong ;) we went on a Monday and were shocked at how many people were there! Happy Hour is all day Monday and from 4-7 other weekdays. They had a large list to choose from that were half off. Loved this because it is so hard to find reasonable prices these days. read more

Cameo is a great spot to grab a quick drink! It gets loud and dark at night, making it the perfect place to socialize and meet new people. The drinks come out quickly, and the atmosphere is lively and fun. I stopped by with my sister for a drink and enjoyed every minute. I'll definitely be back to try their food another time. If you want a treat, order the French 75--it's fantastic! read more

What a cute little place in Memphis. If you're looking for a different kind of vibe than your typical Beale Street option, then this is for you. It's a quirky, fun, delicious little bar that is worth a visit. I happened to visit on tropical Tuesday and I have to say they go all out. They decorate the bar every Tuesday just for this night. They also create a separate cocktail list that you can order from. Unfortunately for me, you have to be a sweet drink person to get these because all of them are pretty sugary. A drawback to this theme is that you can't get their regular house specials that night which were more to my taste preference. It was a bit loud in the space so a conversation between two people wasn't possible, but luckily they had a few tables outside that we enjoyed until we got attacked by mosquitoes! I would definitely return and would give it a go on one of their regular nights. Thank you for the hospitality cameo! read more

This bar is popular for a reason y'all. Cameo has quickly made itself a Memphis staple. The drinks are fun and tasty, the service is friendly, the food is amazing, and we love that they always have fun events weekly. And you can't miss their Halloween pop up in the fall with their scary decor and spooky themed drinks. They also have a lot of N/A options and THC drinks which we love to see. If you haven't been here then you're missing out big. read more

I visited Cameo last night for the first time, and it is such a beautiful space! Think dark velvet, mahogany, and gold accents. We sat at the bar, but there were small tables and booths for those seeking a more intimate experience. I loved the unique decor I ordered a Cottage Core Bikini cocktail, which was lovely! My mom ordered one of the rotating frozen drinks -(Pina Colada), and my 2 friends ordered non-alcoholic cocktails. Everything was super good, including the N/A drinks. This would be a great place for a date or to catch up with friends. Definitely will be back on my next visit to Memphis! read more

Cool low key but you're spot for great late night drinks whether you're alone, dating one on one or with a group. Menu Drinks are seasonal but all are pretty good. No reservations. Food menu is different but host some American favs. Late hours but kitchen closes at midnight. Be prepared to stand until a booth, table or bar seat is available. No waitresses, waiters or hostess. Order at the bar only via walk up. read more

Quick service and good drinks. Highly recommend the place for good atmosphere away from the hustle of downtown.

This is a great watering hole in the neighborhood, we parked inside the parking garage of the citizen. Came during happy hour and they have the inside decorated for halloween. Music is not too loud, u can still have conversation without yelling lol. Rebecca did great job with the cocktails and friendly service. Will come back, highly recommend! read more

Excellent drink selections and fries. Try out the "Rage Quit", which ingredients change regularly.

I'm glad this place exists--Memphis needs more artisanal cocktail places, and the vibe/decor is great. The food menu is also much better than it has a right to be--everything I've had off there has been great. The drinks, though, are just not good. Unless you like unbalanced, licorice-forward drinks. These would not pass muster in other cities. The service is also terrible, which clashes with the decor and the owners' open and affirming social media presence. The service is consistent with Memphis and especially Midtown but seems at odds with the vibe that this place cultivates. Combined with the clique-ish crowd (which admittedly is more a Memphis thing than specific to this bar), it just makes you feel unwelcome. read more

Forever my favorite local bar. Amazing drinks, good food, and they build such amazing community. The owners are focused on not only bringing a fun party but doing good things for people. You can feel good about giving them your money! read more

Friday, Feb. 20, 2026: A nice little quaint bar, and I will probably visit again, but their bartending isn't the best. It was pretty crowded so I understand trying to get drinks when everybody trying to put in an order and pay. However, the oddest thing happened. I ordered two drinks and I paid, but the bartender told me he would bring them out to me. I didn't quite understand why since everyone before me paid and waited for their drinks while he made them. He repeated the statement, so I couldn't do anything but go back to my table with friends. Of course, he forgot about us, and after about 30-40 minutes my friends and I decided to go somewhere else. I go back to the bar to request a refund and the bartender said he will bring them. After realizing I probably wasn't going to get a refund because of his insistence, I went back to the table and my friends and I continued to wait another 15 minutes until they finally arrived. For the price, the drinks were "basic", if they were that. We should have left after the first long wait without attempting to get the refund. Bottom line, I do not understand why my table had to wait. I don't want to say it was a "racial" thing, but I do believe it was a "clique-ish" thing, since I noticed several groups at the bar looked to be regulars. And what's up with the automatic gratuity when you have to get your own drinks? I certainly would not have given such a generous tip after waiting for almost an hour for two watered drinks. read more

Excellent menu. This is my 3rd time here. Some premiere service and premiere cocktails. They may be a bit pricey to some(relative), but Excellent nonetheless and the bartenders actually tend the bar. I love the expansive menu and details. There's something for everyone. For the alcohol drinkers. The drinks hit!!! Highly recommend any of the beverages in my photos from my last visit. read more

Dark paneled walls with plenty of animal heads on them. We had to order at the bar - no table service. It's a bar, very limited menu (at least for vegetarians it was limited). Quiet enough to talk. Drinks were fair - nothing spectacular nor notable. I wouldn't go back. If you are e a bar person, try it. read more

You'd assume this place is an awkward, stuck up, misplaced bar in midtown inside an apartment building, but I assure you, this place will exceed your expectations and TRUST ME, is way better than any bar in downtown. We stopped by after an absolutely awful experience (racial discrimination) at a trendy bar in downtown... and we couldn't have picked a better place. Cute diverse crowd, all bar staff friendly and professional. Huge cocktail menu, they have a rotating seasonal menu with lots of interesting choices. They also have other menus like shooters and lighter abv options. Favorites were the "scooby snack" shooter which was basically a banana/coconut cream shot and sweet, just how I like it. Don't remember which ones I had, everything was pretty good. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I absolutely love this spot - for a variety of reasons! Obviously, it's a cocktail bar, so I was expecting the cocktails to be delicious and fun - and they were. My friends and I also got the absinthe shooters, which were awesome (and better than anticipated to be honest). The staff is amazing: super friendly, funny, and attentive. Did not try the food, but I heard they have a gluten free bread option for the charcuterie boards which makes my heart smile. Can't wait to return! read more

The Cameo was barely just okay. The atmosphere was ok but in fairness I was there on a Friday at 5:00p - 6:30p so it was pretty early and no real crowd. The bartenders stationed around one end of the bar so I had to flag one down but they were engaging once I did. The drink was descent but nothing to remember. It is a signature drink called Everyone's Main Character. The peppered lime garnish was odd and didn't go with the concept of watermelon at all. The food was the worst BLT sandwich ever. The bread was so hard I could not even bite it! The bacon was pretty but chewy and I do not understand the chips on the sandwich. It added no value or taste. The overall presentation was less than appetizing and way overpriced. 2 drinks and meal was $54! read more

As a Jersey Boy who spends most of his week in NYC, I took the advice of Jeff at Sun Studio and visited Cameo Cocktail Bar, a brand new craft cocktail bar in Midtown Memphis. Besides the food and drink blowing me away, the management team running the bar epitomized leadership, customer service, empathy, kindness, positivity, and joy. Though I will not discuss a special act of kindness they extended to me, just know that the team is a class act and their establishment deserves your support and if possible, your patronage. They have a bright future ahead of them. If you make your way to Cameo, tell the team Tomlee sent you! read more
