We thought we were just going to get some average bar food but this place knocked it out of the park. We started with the ARANCINI for an appetizer which was wonderfully done, the sauce was amazing. I had the Herb Roasted Chicken and my date had the Bear Wings. Both entrees were deliciously flavorful and paired impeccably with the local brew recommended by our knowledgeable waiter. He was polite, attentive, and efficient. A three-piece band played smooth music at a comfortable volume that created the perfect atmosphere for a nice dinner date. We would definitely visit this place again and highly recommend it if you’re passing thru Memphis.

I came by late on a Monday when I was alone with my dog. The bartender helping me was super friendly, and another bartender walked by and pet my nervous girl to distract her while I ordered. We sat on the patio and the bartender brought a bucket full of water for my dog, apologizing that they couldn't find a smaller bowl. It was a warm night, so that was really thoughtful and appreciated.
I ordered the bang bang chicken sandwich with tots and The Godfather to drink. The drink was made quickly and well. It was refreshing and cold, with tiny bits of basil, and was perfect to sip while I waited. The food came out fast and was hot, with very generous portions. The sandwich was awesome, with a massive piece of fried chicken. The tots were amazing and extra crispy. I made the mistake of giving one to my dog early on, and she ignored any other dog treat I gave her for the next 2 hours, hoping for one more tot.
I sat outside for over an hour, enjoying my meal, and various staff members and passersby stopped to chat and love on my dog. Everyone was extremely friendly. I think at least 6 people shook my hand that evening introducing themselves and welcoming me. When I was inside, it was clearly full of regular customers. Everyone seemed to be friendly with each other. The staff brought everything out to me so I wouldn't have to bring the dog inside.
Overall it was an awesome experience, and I look forward to returning.
Blind Bear is incredible! Cinnamon is amazing! By far the best cocktails downtown Memphis has to offer.
I just moved here from North Carolina and this place is my go to for dinner multiple times a week. The owner is awesome. Her husband is awesome. All of the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. And I get to play poker all in all this place has it all. Love it!
Really cool atmosphere. The food was really tasty but not cheap. I had the steak that was pretty expensive. Ordered medium rare. Came out paper thin and medium well, however, still tasted great. I ate it all and would order it again. Maybe the best mashed potatoes of my life. My only complaint is the lazy bartender. I watched her screw up classic drinks for over an hour. Every drink given a single shake and unceremoniously dumped into a rocks glass with ice. Sidecar, margarita, martini, gimlet, old fashioned, etc. All looked exactly the same. Left out a lot of really important ingredients. If they are going to charge a premium for crafted cocktails, and they do, they should be exactly that, crafted. Said she has been a professional bartender since like 1997. I can't imagine where. Maybe she just wasn't into it that day. I overheard her say someone complained her drinks were too strong. When you leave out all the non-spirit ingredients it has that effect.
Food was amazing. Atmosphere was interesting. Service was lacking a lot.
It really is a cool idea. And the menu was definitely interesting. The salmon I had was top level Fire! Would get it again and again. I had four people ask me about it while I was there and they ordered it too.
The service...there were two guys behind the bar and they seemed like they could care less about my sitting there. I do not drink and I guess since it is a "Speekeasy" I should not be there. Whatever.
I would go again. But I may not go out of my way to get there.
Although I didn’t get the “Speakeasy Vibe” the cocktails and food were great. And I loved that when I asked the bartender for a drink off the menu that he was proud of, he was 100% in on a Boulvardier, that was fantastic. (Maybe I’ll try to extend my repertoire beyond Negronis when I’m making now.)
Food is extremely good. Atmosphere is extra.
This place is great! Great food, great drinks, friendly bar staff. A fine spot to watch a game or just relax.
The Blind Bear Balls was an amazing appetizer!
Cool place to hang and have a drink.
