Earnestine and Hazel’s (531 South Main Street)
This self-proclaimed dive bar has been featured in nine movies, showcased by Playboy and Esquire, and deemed one of the most haunted places in the nation.
It was once a pharmacy, then a café, and is now a corner bar that both locals and tourists love. It’s a representation of the soul, jazz, and blues that make the foundation of the city.
Oh, and it’s famed jukebox? It’s haunted by spirits – and not of the drinking kind.
Ghost River Brewing (827 South Main Street)
Speaking of ghosts, this brewery is one of the top in the city. Its name, however, has nothing to do with apparitions.
The beer gets its brewing foundation from water that flowed into the Ghost River wetlands into the Memphis Sands Aquifer, making it soft and mineral free.

This lounge is the spot to go for a great slice of wood-fired pizza. There’s classic Margherita and pies like the Farm Daddy, which is covered in chicken, bacon, green onions, mushroom, ricotta, and garlic cream.
The drink list includes imported beers, wines, champagnes, and mixtures like the Fun Crush that has matcha in it or the Cholo Love with chili spray.
Soul & Spirits Brewery (845 Main Street)
This newer brewery has a relaxed atmosphere. You’ll find murals on the walls, long wooden tables to sit at, a giant chess set, and a dog friendly area.
The brews are inspired by the area’s musicians and their songs, like Hound Dog Heffe and Hoochie Coochie.
Alex’s Tavern (1445 Jackson Avenue)
If you’re looking for the best burger in town look no further than Alex’s. The Greek burger is a crowd pleaser, topped with flavors from the islands.
