A Downtown Memphis Cocktail Bar Made to Feel Like Yours.

Get Opening UpdatesDowntown, through the whole evening.
The room is designed to work across the evening: an early drink, a stop after dinner, cocktails after a Downtown event, or a late seat that does not feel rushed. The goal is a bar people return to, not a concept they visit once.
The address sits in the South Main Arts District near restaurants, museums, galleries, boutique hotels, and other Downtown attractions. Transit, parking, and walking conditions should be confirmed before visiting.

Downtown Memphis evenings move through several settings: dinner, live music, FedExForum events, theatre, hotel stays, and neighborhood bars. Spoken For is designed for the transition between those plans and the hours after them.
