First timers here!! Our family was able to visit Memphis, TN for Christmas and while everything else was closed, we passed a nice arcade bar that was open. FlipSide! Let's start by saying this location was amazing; Family-friendly; the environment was comfortable with great lighting. There may have been about 20 people max which gave the opportunity to really enjoy. The location isn't huge but was super nice. Pinball is a classic so for my child to enjoy this it was epic. And THEY STILL HAVE TOKENS!! Other great features: tv with the sports games on, dart boards, clean bathrooms, outdoor seating on the patio, and great drinks at the bar. The only reason this location received a 3-star with such an awesome experience was due to the food. We ordered Quesadillas since they were out of several menu items and they were extremely salty. I mean extremely! Presentation was nice & food was fresh; but when we notified the cook... he offered us ranch dressing for it tacos to "mello-out" the salt because he had made such a huge batch of meat he can't remake them. I wouldn't yet say "eat before you come" because I will come back to update the review and just hope Santa dropped the salt off his sled when flying thru. Otherwise, this place is a must try.

Flip Slide is a great spot to bring friends to. They have tons of games to play like pinball, pool, and darts. Definitely a unique spot worth stopping by AT LEAST once to enjoy the fun and colorful atmosphere. Fair warning though, it can get pretty busy and there is limited seating. Plenty of people deal with this by holding their drinks and hanging around the games so you might have to navigate a crowded space depending on the night. They do have an outdoor back patio. The food is a step up from traditional bar food. All the expected favorites are there. The Nachos were very good and the large portion was great to set on the table and share with the group. Beer selection was great and varied! Make sure you bring coins or cash if you want to play the games. For parking I would suggest just parking in the Crosstown garage and making the short walk over. I would say you come for the experience more than anything. The food is good but it wouldn't be enough on its own to draw me in and although the games are fun you do have to pay for them each and that can add up fast with drinks and snacks.

I've had their tacos at late night, lunch, and dinner & they've been consistent . Huge plus that they are open late. I was hooked on the beef tacos for a while and the bartender told me the Barbacoa was her favorite, so I finally tried it and I was def missing out. I haven't switched since. Try it on corn tortilla, tooThe queso is great.. Spanish rice wasn't my favorite but the cilantro rice was much better. Drinks are standard. The vibe feels like it could be in midtown. This seems like a hidden gem. I hope they stick around bc The food is really good. Staff is very friendly as well.

My mom was able take us to this place three times while I was on vacation. The boys got their money's worth with the pinball machine. The ceasr salad was to die for and i don't even eat salads like that. The drinks are a hit or miss depending on the day and night shift. The service was quick even with them doing a separate party. Very laid-back chill place.

Owmed by the same people as Growlers on Poplar, Flip side has a fun atmosphere, nice rotation of pinball machines, changjng every few weeks, I think I remember. Some take two tokens, some take five, which feels very expensive for a turn at pinball. (1 token=$0.25) The drinks were good, and the bar service was surprisingly fast considering there was a tournament and lots of bodies to serve. The patrons were varied, teens to seniors, from all parts of town. This would be a great space for a private birthday or retirement party. I wish they had pricing for events on their web page.

This is a great place to hang with your friends or solo. Excellent craft beer selection and superior bar food. The service is good too.

Pinball machines line the wall.

UPDATE: Call before you go! Unfortunately the past two times I've gone, I've been greeted by a sign that says they're closed for a tournament. No post on FB or anything to give a heads up. Those two times, I had new perspective customers. The tournaments may keep the regulars coming back but new customers won't try again if they see a sign saying they're closed all the time...especially if they're driving a good distance to enjoy some pinball.

Neat little bar in midtown. Typical bar drinks (no drink menu) and a food menu. There's pinball, pool, and darts to play and a few TVs throughout to catch a game on. Cool atmosphere but a little overpriced. Park in the crosstown garage and walk over as there is likely to be no street parking.

Really fun spot with a mix of vintage and modern pinball machines. They also have a pool table and darts. Pretty much any local beer you want, they have. And you can't beat the barbecoa tacos

See all

Cameo hands down is the best place to get drinks & don't count out their bar food…read more 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.

Another Friday outing with the girls took us to Cameo for happy hour…read more 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.

So I was looking for hidden bars and speakeasies, as I normally do. I found this and it was super…read moreinteresting because you have to walk through a shop that doesn't look like a restaurant storefront but it looks like a clothing store storefront. I thought that was a really dope idea that you have to walk in and then walk behind whatever you think it's supposed to be there to find the actual bar. When you come in the building is kind of dark. But when you walk back to the bar, it's super white and lit. It looks beautiful! We talked to the owner for a little bit, he was super nice and super friendly. My drink was good. Customer service was pretty good as well. We got there too late to where there was no food, but that's not why we were coming. This is a nice little hidden gem. That's the way the owner described it! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

No t-shirts for sure as I saw women get turned around at the door very kindly. When you walk in it's a hug mirror waiting to catch your beauty! The ambiance, the decor, atmosphere is modern and very welcoming. Now that you know to wear your good clothes but remember parking is not that easy downtown ladies. The MENU......dice rolled!! Ladies the 1st drink is free on Friday nights! I had a Red Blend wine that was top shelf delicious! I ordered the white bean hummous but that didn't have it available. I choose the shrimp tacos and truffle parmesan fries. Now the shrimp tacos and truffle parmesan fries were so appealing! That plating skills were fantastic!! Now I'm looking pretty, sitting pretty and about to eat pretty! The shrimp tacos were fresh, seasoned to perfection and they had the nerve to warm them flour shells!! By now I to dig in them truffle fries! Now I asked the waiter was the fries in Truffle Oil or truffle seasoning? She told me it's a truffle oil they use!! I was so excited if you don't know about Truffle Oil vs Truffle seasoning, please use Google right now! By far the waiter knew the menu AND the ingredients!! Them darn truffle fries was absolutely delicious!! Cooked not too hard not too soft! Tossed LIGHTLY in truffle oil now to over power the parmesan!! Let not forget to give the vibe and groove credit to DJ Juice that played all genre music and kept my knees hurting!!
