Get Opening UpdatesClose enough to walk. Far enough to breathe.

Six blocks south of Beale Street, at 477 South Main Street below ARRIVE Hotel, Spoken For opens as a craft cocktail bar with a program built for an evening rather than a moment. The room, the drinks, and the hours are all designed around staying rather than passing through.
What you get when you walk six blocks south.
Craft cocktails
A focused, technique-driven program. Drinks built for the order you come back for, not the photo you leave with.
Bar food
Smash burgers and late-night food that holds up. The kind of menu that makes staying until midnight feel like the obvious choice.
The neighborhood
The South Main Arts District. Galleries, boutique hotels, music venues, and restaurants in a six-block walkable grid. A different side of Downtown Memphis.
Late nights
Spoken For is built for the hours that matter. One of the few craft cocktail bars in Downtown Memphis designed to stay open when others close.
South Main and Beale Street are both Downtown Memphis.
Beale Street runs east from the river through the center of Downtown Memphis. South Main runs south, through the arts district, toward the Pinch District and the South Bluffs. They share a neighborhood but not an energy. Beale is for the first night. South Main is for the nights after that.
Spoken For sits at the corner of those two ideas. Close enough to be the obvious stop after Beale Street. Designed for the crowd that has moved past it.
