Come here for a great patio, Jameson slushees, and the best fries and sliders to cure that post-wedding hangover
Our favorite brewery hands down! Great indoor and outdoor hangout spot. James recommends the Gotta Get Up to Get Down.
Even though James gets some of the best Mexican food in the world in LA, he still comes back to this spot for the salsa and chips. Their tortas and burritos are fire, and the pitchers of margaritas and Dos XX aren’t bad either.
Some say this is the best fried chicken in the whole country (or the world). For those who scare easily by chicken bones, the tenders maintain all the flavor and love without the hassle. Go all-out and snag a full "yellow" plate with mac & cheese and fried okra.
You CANNOT visit Memphis without trying our world-renowned BBQ. This is the best spot in Memphis without a doubt. Try the dry rub ribs and pulled pork, and stay for the BBQ nachos and caramel cake.
This is THE largest metropolitan park in the country. It was updated just a few years ago and now has an amazing ~2-mile trail that wraps around a serene lake filled with birds and paddle-boaters.
Great people watching on Main Street and some of the best pizza in Memphis...if you’re feeling a little wild, go for the Bubba Gump.
Our preferred local burger chain! After a fun night out, nothing really hits the spot like 1 a.m. cheese fries.
A brothel-turned-haunted-dive-bar, the Soul Burger is a must!
THE classic donut spot in Memphis. If you have a sweet tooth, you have to grab a donut....or 7.
This distillery popped up a few years ago and boasts an amazing tasting room and balcony with a great view of the Mississippi River. It's across the street from Gus's Fried Chicken which is all too convenient.
A scenic beer garden downtown with expanses of outdoor seating, fire pits, and other people's dogs.
The World Famous Beale Street! "Walk in Memphis" like a pro on this lively street known for live music and the Beale Street flippers. Our favorite spots are Silky O'Sullivans, The Absinthe Room, Dyer's, Rum Boogie Cafe, and Alfred's.
This is praised as one of the best museums in the country. You can see first-hand pivotal scenes from the Civil Rights movement and Dr. King's lasting legacy.
A green oasis in Downtown Memphis, Mud Island is the best place to stroll along the Mississippi River and explore the Harbor Town shops and restaurants. We love picnics here, and it's where we were engaged!
Cool indoor/outdoor playground-beer garden for adults. Satisfy all your cravings with live music, ping pong, volleyball, lawn chairs along with a diner and ice cream spot.
Historic Old Growth forest in the middle of the city. Come here for a peaceful nature walk.
The converted old Sears factory offers tons of fun, from brick oven pizza at Elemento to popsicles at Mempop, to yellow truck coffee and Crosstown Brewery, this is a great spot for a lazy afternoon.
If you get in early and are looking for some free live music on Friday evening head over to the shell for one of the best places in Memphis to catch a show. They have beer and food trucks, but you might want to bring some chairs or a blanket to sit on.
