Cool ambience, decent service. They only offer iced drinks in their largest size and you have to pay to use the board games.

If you're looking for a quiet place to read, do some work, try a new drink, or play games, this is the spot. They have an extensive list of cocktails and coffee, as well as café food. The atmosphere is cozy, and they have a board game library that you can utilize for $5. It would be a good spot to meet up with a friend and catch up! read more

Why play Checkers, when you can play Chess? I enjoyed my time at the Memphis Chess Club. This establishment is great for studying, playing cheese, and catching up with friends. My chai tea latte was delightful and the pepperoni pizza was baked freshly. The staff greeted me with a smile and answered any questions I had. If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax, this is the place to be. It read more

This is a great place to socialize, connect for a group meeting or spend the day working individually. There is good lighting, especially near the large windows, there is space to spread out, including an upstairs. I most appreciate the chairs (ample and soft) and comfy couches. With the large wooden tables, high-back chairs and expansive almost floor to ceiling book case, the place feels a bit like an old grand college library hall or an English study without any of the pretension. The staff team is gracious. I've even seen them remind folks to feed their parking meters if they notice the meter enforcement officers in the vicinity. The food is tasty and they have a wide assortment of beverages, including some spirited options and excellent coffee. Oh, yeah, they also play chess there, mostly it seems on the weekends and evenings. There always seems to be an eclectic group of patrons, including some regulars. In short, Memphis Chess Club feels comfortable and welcoming. You can also purchase a membership and receive discounts on your food and other purchases. read more

Amazing coffee, food, and friendly service! Memphis Chess Club is my go to for my morning Cold Brew.

There was literally a mouse running around the room. Employees had been notified but they didn't seem worried about it at all. Really disappointing because i enjoyed their coffee and going there to study. I won't be back because of this. It was terrible that there was a mouse in the first place, but even worse no one was doing any thing about it or at least warning patrons. read more
