This was a cute bar located in Crosstown. Loved that it was cozy and dimly light and somewhat secluded. The drinks were pretty good and the appetizers were alright. The service left more to be imagined, they'd just opened but bartender was a little dismissive and rushed even though it wasn't busy and myself and my guest were the only ones there for the first hour. Open to trying again though!

This is truly a hidden gem! It's an artsy bar located in Crosstown Concourse on the second floor, through the art gallery. There are so many rooms, so you can have a private moment or share space with a few friends. Their menu is full of unique drinks that are ever-changing. I saw customers working on laptops, enjoying dates, and having drinks with friends. This is truly a versatile, original spot.

I was so excited to try out Art Bar; I had heard such great things about the space, the drinks, and the overall vibe. Unfortunately, I was left just thinking "that was fine" the entire time. We went on a very light evening and were told to sit wherever, assuming someone would help us wherever we sat. That assumption was correct, but the amount of time it took until someone took our order was um, quite long we'll say, and it didn't seem from what we could tell that it was anything out of the ordinary. Did they have some unique drinks? Sure. Were they good? I suppose. Was the space neat? Yes. Was it as "cool" and vibing as I thought? No. Am I glad I went? Sure. Would I go again? Sure, if friends wanted to go. That about sums it up.

Wish I had better things to say about Art Bar. Very cool concept and the decor is great if you can get seating in one of the lounge rooms, but that availability is very limited and I was left feeling "just okay" about the experience. I tried two drinks from their custom cocktail menu and disliked them both. Although the ingredients were creative neither came together for me. Even my friends drink I tried wasn't great. I had to stick with a rum and coke after that. The food was very good but they only have a few snack options so I wouldn't necessarily stop by just for crackers and dip. Service was a bit slow but not bad. Maybe I'll try again sometime but for now it wasn't something I would go out of my way for.

Vibes. I loved the arts of this place. It was a vibe for sure. Super lowkey and the building it's in seems to be a lot of fun. Can't wait to get back here again one day soon!

This is a great restaurant for crafty cocktails, diverse crowd , and tasty apps . The service was top tier - friendly and pretty fast . The bar is embedded inside of Concourse Crosstown . We had a couple of rounds of drinks and the tuna dip. The bartender made a special cocktail for Saint Patrick day as well .

Solstice slammer  Taste like black licorice & maple syrup

Nice atmosphere. The worst drink I've ever ordered, hands down. It took 20 minutes waiting in line to get my drink.

Lemon drop martini

Came to art bar on a very busy night. The aesthetic is very nice, but the service was extremely slow. We grabbed a table that hadn't been cleaned, didn't have any other options so that was that. On to the drinks. I ordered the luscious green and it was the worse drink I've ever had. On the menu, I thought it would be a pretty good drink, but I was wrong. It tasted like medicine & the cream on top had a weird marshmallow consistency not to mention, the drink looks like a mixture of other leftover drinks. We waited forever to get the drinks on top of that. The waitress finally came back to check on us and I told her the drink wasn't good and she actually said it wasn't her favorite either, so she recommended a lemon drop for me, which is usually my go to anyway. So I get the lemon drop martini and it's like two sips worth of a drink lol but whatever. We'll prob go back as the menu seems to change. Just wasn't the best experience.

Neat little space with great drinks. Good for a quick date or meet up. Staff was really nice and attentive. Love the decor style. Mid-century vibe with a bunch of vintage finds even down to the glasses.

Best bar in Memphis!!! The music vibes decor glassware and ambiance is one of a kind. Most of all service is incredible. You will be well taken care of here

This is the funkiest, coolest space and I am here for it. The drinks are great! Delicious and strong craft cocktails. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and explaining what the drinks are. They also have great "plain Jane" drinks too! (my friend got a Moscow Mule and it was to die for!) This spot is great for a date or just chilling with friends. All of the different sections and areas offer a unique feel with the turn of every corner. My personal favorite was the old school record player with multiple records you can actually play! To find the bar follow the signs to Crosstown Arts and go up the giant red staircase to the second floor. Stop in for a drink... you won't be disappointed!

Deedee making magic!

WOW!! I am totally BLOWN AWAY! Go to 2nd floor to the art bar. Deedee and Eric are mixologists from outta this world. These drinks are so unique! Then BE SURE to continue past the bar to check out the amazingly decorated and fun/funky "so midtown" space.

Rich, well seasoned, and fresh Service was also awesome and there's a secret dessert menu our group really enjoyed!

It pains me to have to leave this review. I came here once before several months ago and was very…read moreimpressed. I had a fantastic espresso martini and the best brussel sprouts I've ever tasted! So I was excited to come try something else. On the plus side, the bathroom was so nicely decorated. It was also very clean. I sat at the end of the bar, beside the little section of books. The bartender was nice. I ordered the Ember&Passion cocktail. Although it was pretty good, it was quite mild. Unexpected with the ingredients in it. I was surprised that the level of expected heat was not very detectable. I give it 7/10. When I came here before in the winter, the temperature was perfect and I don't remember being too bothered that they don't have cocktail napkins. But yesterday it was quite warm in the restaurant and not having these napkins wasn't good. Nobody in the restaurant had any type of napkin under any drink! I noticed that just like mine, every glass of water from every patron had a puddle of condensation under the glass. Each time I picked up my glass of water, it would drip onto my food and clothes. My two menus got so wet. I suppose they made this decision to save themselves a lot of money. As for the food: My parmesan truffle fries were excellent!! Hot, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. Best I've had in a long time. The Alabama white sauce on the side was just your typical sauce. It tasted just like every other Alabama white sauce that I've had so was not disappointing. But I actually ended up not using it because it was too thin and it didn't add anything to the fries. The fries were excellent enough on their own. I ordered my burger "pink" but there wasn't any pink to it, but I wasn't that bothered about it. Burger and the toppings were tasty, except for the fried green tomato. Looking closely at the picture, you can see that it was SO SMALL compared to the size of the burger. When a restaurant does that, don't they realize that it makes for a glaring disappointment?! It apparently came from near the end of the tomato, and not the middle. If you are going to offer a fried green tomato on a burger, then I feel as if you should only use the larger slices of the tomato, and save the smaller ends for maybe putting in salads. I've always been obsessed with fried green tomatoes. After having my first two bites of burger and still not reaching the tomato, I took it off to eat by itself. Sadly, it tasted terrible! I was surprised. Obviously, they didn't season the tomato or the batter. (Salt and pepper go a long way.) The burger toppings apparently made the tomato batter not only soggy, but also this strange thick texture. Like mushy and chewy at the same time. 1/10 Worst problem: FLIES!!! So many flies! When I just had my drink but no food yet, I noticed them but was not bombarded by them at that point. It wasn't until my food came. All of a sudden I was literally surrounded by them. They were everywhere! No exaggeration. I actually had to use only one hand to eat and the other hand to constantly move back and forth over my food. I eventually gave up and set the plate of some of my fries about 4 inches in front of my burger in order to hopefully draw the flies to the fries so that I could eat my burger. Unfortunately, after only four bites of my burger, when I set it down to take a drink of water, a fly landed on it within one second. Obviously, that was my last bite, and even when I was moving the plate closer to the end of the counter, two more flies landed on it. The glass of straws was inches from me. That, and the book closest to me seemed to be where they gathered to wait for their opportunity to dive bomb me. So many of them! It turned my stomach when I realized that I had been drinking from a straw with my water and I'm sure there had been flies on it before I got there. Every person that gets a straw in their drink at this restaurant has had a fly sitting on top of it. When the bartender told me about the desserts, it turned my stomach to think of just how many flies were in the kitchen. Had I known the fly situation was that bad when I first got my drink, I would have never stayed there, and I certainly would have never ordered food. I do think it is a real shame because the winter months are a totally different experience in that restaurant. But because of how horrible it was this time, I just can't ever come back.

Wow...just wow! This is a beautiful restaurant that's only open for dinner. It's definitely a…read moredress-to-impress kind of place, with excellent service and very unique food. The idea of serving "flights" of entrees with three small plates equaling the size of one main entree...so cool! And you can mix and match, though I opted for the traditional Fish flight. This included haddock on a delicious rock shrimp risotto, Chilean sea bass (delicious) over black rice, and some salmon over a puree. Everything was amazing...and even the three small plates were more than enough food. I do wish we'd saved room for the dessert flight.

Alright, lets get into this…read more.. Walking in I was pleasantly surprised...Flight is in a tough location because parking isnt exactly ideal but as soon as you walk up, a hostess opens the door and welcomes you in. I didnt get photos of the restaurant but they have a really cool split floor design, we got to sit upstairs. I recommend you sit upstairs it possible because the first floor gets louder faster if that makes sense. Plenty of very attentive and friendly staff so you will need for nothing while you are there. Now for the food...we started off with the SNAKE RIVER FARMS WAGYU CARPACCIO. It was . My only critique if I had one; I wish it had a little more carpaccio. Now before I get into entree's let me explain how "Flight" works...You can order a single large entree for dinner, orrrrrrr, if you're like me and LOVE food, you can order a flight of three smaller portions of the entree's! Bring your appetite (and your platinum card). I ordered a three entree flight of Bison Ribeye, roasted duck breast and the chilean sea bass. I would rank them in that order although they were all delicious. That bison tho.... The wife ordered a three entree flight of the prime ribeye, sea scallops, and the twin lobster tails. She wasnt a huge fan of the prime ribeye, she said it was a little tough. She loved the scallops and lobster (although she will never forgive herself for dropping a huge piece of lobster on the floor). Oh and her scallops came with this gnocchi that was TO DIE FOR!!!! We finished the night off with a three dessert flight of pistachio mousse, lava cake and apple walnut cobbler. The pistachio mousse was light and refreshing on a hot summer day. She loved her apple cobbler. We werent huge fans of the lava cake. It just didnt have that nostalgic lava cake taste and texture. That and the peppermint gelato it came with was very strong on the peppermint. Im sure some would love it but it just wasnt for us. Last piece Ill mention is just the effort and attention to detail. It was our anniversary and they brought us complimentary glasses of champagne (thank you). They are very deliberate in how they move, their table settings and our server knew her restaurant like a pro. Even down to the way they stage your silverware knowing how their flight plates take up table space. Bravo, Great experience! Definitely a little too pricey to be a frequent spot, but great for special occasions!

She carried this review up to the 3 I'm giving Non-Vintage. First of all, there was a severe deficiency of seating and staff for this event. No one greeted us when we entered, we moved chairs ourselves to make an accommodating space out of the way of the performers, and at no point did a member of staff take our order outside of waiting at the bar. The line for the bar was right in the way of the performers, and many people were forced to wait 10+ minutes for a drink order because there was only one bartender working. Another staff member had offered to help, and the bartender DECLINED, forcing us to continue to wait. I did try the wings and the charcuterie, they were good. I tried the nonalcoholic hibiscus drink and the nonalcoholic summer cooler drink. The summer cooler was much better in my opinion, but both were good nonalcoholic options. I think I would like to try this place when they are not hosting an event, I'm sure it's lovely when they are staffed appropriately for the shift. However, I was sorely disappointed tonight being forced to wait nearly an hour at the bar, missing parts of the show and on my feet for just a drink.

I'm used to going to cigar lounges where you have a variety of cigars to choose from, but at this establishment, they pick one out for you based on what you normally prefer. Ironically, my husband and I had very different taste in cigars but ended up with the same cigar. Not sure what happened but we went with it. The drinks are all served in a ceramic cup which I believe they were trying to go for the prohibition theme, except our drinks were room temperature, not chilled or iced. For an old fashion and a lemon drop, you need the drink to be at least chilled. Because it was in a small ceramic cup, I feel like my cocktail was incredibly small, it was warm and it did not taste good. They nickeled and dimed us on the bill by charging us for the cocktail and the liquor separately then they charged a mandatory 20 percent tip after they handed us the signed copy of the bill with a tip suggestion of 10, 15, or 20 percent. No where does it state that a mandatory 20 percent tip was included in the final bill and why would you suggest I give you an additional tip after you already charged me a mandatory 20 percent? That is shady. Overall, the lounge was dark and the seating was pretty average. The cost for drinks and for how it taste was not worth it. The inability to pick your cigar limits your options and the fact they didn't disclose that a mandatory 20 percent tip, would make me not want to come back.

Five stars simply aren't enough. This deserves twenty…read more My husband and I are food people. We travel extensively, we eat everywhere, and we've been fortunate enough to have some truly extraordinary dining experiences over the years. So when I say that Porch & Parlor may be one of the best overall restaurant experiences we've ever had, that is not something I say lightly. And it started before we even made it through the front door. The restaurant itself is absolutely charming from the outside -- whitewashed brick, Southern, understated and beautiful. But before either of us could even reach for the door handle, a gentleman appeared with the warmest smile and opened it for us. Such a tiny thing, perhaps, but it immediately set the tone for the entire evening: You are our guest, and we are delighted you're here. Inside, three lovely attendants greeted us at the front, all smiles and genuine Southern hospitality. We had reservations and were seated immediately in the most gorgeous, moody dining room. Elegant lighting, beautiful raised paneling, rich finishes -- classic steakhouse without feeling stuffy or predictable. As a miniature artist, I spent an embarrassing amount of time mentally figuring out how I could recreate those fabulous light fixtures in miniature. And then came Wade. For years -- and I mean years -- my husband and I have had a benchmark for exceptional service: a wonderful gentleman named Seth in Birmingham who was exceptional at what he did that we still talk about him. Well, Seth... you finally have competition. Wade is an absolute gem. Charming, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and incredibly intuitive, he possesses that rare ability to actually read a table. He listened. He remembered. He made recommendations without ever making us feel "sold." He helped my husband choose a bourbon, shared little tidbits and stories with us, picked up on our personalities and genuinely connected with us. And the timing of this meal was impeccable. We never once felt rushed, yet we never found ourselves wondering where the next course was. Nothing arrived too quickly. Nothing lingered too long. Wade was there exactly when we wanted him and somehow invisible when we didn't need him. The entire evening just moved along smooth as silk. That kind of service is an art, and Wade has it. Of course, none of that would matter if the food didn't deliver. It absolutely did. The steaks were phenomenal, the meal was incredible from beginning to end, and oddly enough, that fabulous bacon rack may be one of the things we talk about forever. It's delicious, ridiculous, memorable and exactly the sort of thing you want to order when you're out having a wonderful evening. By the end, we were far too full for dessert -- which naturally meant we ordered dessert. My husband knew exactly what he wanted. I was torn between two choices, so finally I told Wade, "Go into the kitchen, choose your favorite and surprise me. I don't even want to know what it is. I'll find out when I get back to the hotel." The man understood the assignment. He chose the cheesecake, and good heavens. It was lighter than a cloud, with these gorgeous cherries in a rich syrup whose tartness cut through the creamy cheesecake beautifully, alongside vanilla ice cream that somehow pulled the entire thing together. I opened that box back at the hotel and knew immediately that Wade had once again made exactly the right call. But what really makes Porch & Parlor remarkable is that Wade wasn't the exception. Every single person we encountered -- from the gentleman at the door, to the front desk, to everyone who touched our table -- was gracious, polished, welcoming and genuinely lovely. You can serve an extraordinary steak in a beautiful room and have a great restaurant. But when the hospitality is every bit as exceptional as the food, you create an experience. Porch & Parlor did exactly that. We were told this was considered one of the very best steakhouses in Tennessee. After dining there, I completely understand why. In fact, forget Tennessee. This is one of the best steakhouse experiences we've had anywhere. And Wade, if you happen to read this: Seth held that title for a very long time, young man. You earned this one. Five stars feels woefully inadequate. Give them twenty.

First, the food was excellent. The wagyu deviled eggs, the steak quality and preparation and…read moreespecially the bone marrow au poivre special sauce. The kitchen knocked it out of the park. I could drink that bone marrow au poivre sauce it was so good. Second, my service expectations when spending in excess of $2,000 for a party of seven ($700 of which was wine) are a touch above what I'd expect from a chain steakhouse and I certainly expect honesty that what I order is what I am served. In short, my first-world problem with Porch and Parlor is the vintages on their wine list do not reflect what they serve you. They were zero for two on both bottles I ordered and it matters when you pay $550 for a bottle of 2013 Dom Perignon (served 2017) and $133 for 2019 Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon (served 2022). I caught both instances in real time and the sommelier was crestfallen but powerless. Then I had to pour my own wine after it was decanted and left out of reach on a trolley alongside of our table - my server disappeared for the duration of the meal after food was served and never realized she missed out on the fun. I had to stand up a couple of times, grab a huge, elaborate decanter and awkwardly pour for my guests seated around a circular table (ambience is also very nice there BTW). Autogratuity added 20% tip and I added $100 on top of that because as the host I didn't want my guests to be aware of any issues and they had a great time - I covered for the restaurant's failures and paid a premium to do it. I let a week pass to see if I was still bothered by the experience and I was (am). My first solution was to call the restaurant to ask for the GM's email so I could email him/her, one-to-one, about my experience and keep it out of the public forum. That's what I would have wanted if the shoe were on the other foot. After my first call and a long, long hold I hung up. Waited forty minutes and tried again. After a two minute hold a gentleman named Chris came on the call and asked how he could help. I told him the above story, told him I don't want anything from him other than him to win and be successful which, in my view, includes not misrepresenting wine vintages because real dollars are involved when you say you have something worth $700 and what you sneakily try to serve customers is worth a lot less, service aside. Long story longer, he told me (paraphrasing) "yeah, I hate that for you but it's too much of a pain in the butt to print a fresh wine list so we are just going to keep doing that." Fine. Caveat Emptor for the rest of you who order wine there. Maybe just order the Caymus. For me, being rooked always negates any positive experience I may have had.
