Get Spoken For UpdatesChoosing a bar in Downtown Memphis starts with the kind of evening you want.
Beale Street is the center of the entertainment district. South Main is better suited to a slower evening built around dinner, cocktails, galleries, museums, boutique hotels, and local businesses. The two areas are close enough to visit on the same night, but their pace and atmosphere are different.
Spoken For is at 477 South Main Street, Lower Level, Memphis, TN 38103, beneath ARRIVE Memphis. The bar brings together thoughtful cocktails, late-night food, conversation, and repeat visits from Memphis locals and downtown guests.

Why South Main works for a complete Downtown Memphis evening.
The South Main Arts District brings restaurants, museums, galleries, historic architecture, boutique hotels, and nightlife into a compact, walkable part of Downtown Memphis. It begins just south of Beale Street and stretches toward Central Station and the National Civil Rights Museum.
Spoken For adds a neighborhood cocktail bar to that mix, giving visitors a place to start with Happy Hour, stop after dinner, or settle in later in the evening.
