    What a cool place! The ambiance and service were great! The food was yummy. The drinks were ok, the local beers are fantastic.

    This was such an escentric place! We found it on yelp when we were looking for a cocktail in midtown. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is a treasure. This is an old house turned bar. There is seating at the bar or you can pick a number of rooms with seating. They have food available and are known for their signature cocktails. If you're looking for a fun, laidback, unique experience, this is a fun spot for a mocktail/cocktail or bite. We spent over an hour and a half here this afternoon after our Graceland tour playing games and laughing.

    Love the atmosphere here. It's so cool. The room we were in was called the dining room and the decorations were just fun. I tried a lot of different things with my friend group but the cheese plate was my favorite thing because it had the most unique cheeses. The mango cheese was my favorite but they were all excellent. Loved: - Appetizer: Sausage and Cheese Plate - Sauce: BBQ Liked: - Appetizer: BBQ Nachos - Side: Tots Ok: - Appetizer: Chili Cheese Tots - Appetizer: Chips and Queso - Tacos: Pulled Pork Disliked: - Drink: I'll Have What She's Having - Drink: Sazerack - Taco: Shrimp

    Memphis Whistle is one of the most unique spots I've stopped to get a drink in Memphis. The renovated house gives off an intimate, casual, and homey atmosphere that is worth coming back for every time. I always try to snag a spot in the "lounge" area, which foregoes tables in favor of unique couches and chairs to create a quirky living room complete with TV trays and fun eclectic decor. The food is fine in my opinion, but not the reason I come back. All the dishes I've tried are simple, which adds to the homey vibe, but none so far have been standouts. The drink selection has always been good. The staff are wonderful and part of the reason why I would chose this place over a bigger restaurant. I would give 4/5 stars because the shining star of Memphis whistle is the intimate and eclectic atmosphere along with the Staff as opposed to the food and drink selection. However, it is a small space, and I think I would enjoy myself less if I had to sit at a table because the lounge was occupied. In that case, going on a busy night might be a gamble.

    My friend and I were scouting out potential watering holes for an upcoming event and we happened upon Memphis Whistle. The location is ideal and it's beautifully decorated inside & out. The bartenders and patrons have unbeatably upbeat & welcoming demeanors. Most importantly, the drinks are strong and tasty. Make sure to stop in here with your friends and you won't be disappointed.

    Tiny dive, local culture, colorful and fun. Small menu of great food with beautiful cocktails!

    Had this place on my list since opening but have always been unlucky, found it closed the 2 times we tried to go. But our dinner last week was definitely worth it. Such a special, homey yet magical place. Few outdoor tables, also bar seating and few indoor tables and cute unique rooms inside. Owned by a couple who run the bar and restaurant themselves. Cocktail experts who can give you great recommendations, well priced $10. Favorite was the lychee and gin cocktail, "I'll have what she's having"... there's another cocktail I can't remember, was topped with smoked rosemary. Burgers were huge, fresh brioche bun. I liked the Tiger but didn't like the big block of blue cheese so much. Would probably prefer a milder and softer cheese. Lions Mane poppers were really good too. There was a big party inside so we opted for outdoor seating, which we enjoyed. But still would like to try the indoor experience next time. Lovely service, def feels like a second home.

    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.

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!!
