About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Wed, Thu, Fri

A laid-back crowd of locals in their 20s through 40s fills this leather cruise bar most nights. Pool tables and darts give the back room a social, unfussy feel, while the full bar pours strong drinks until 3am.

Sunday opens at 3pm instead of 5pm, making it an earlier start for the after-hours crowd. The vibe is easygoing, not intense.

Located in Memphis's Midtown neighborhood, a known area for LGBTQ+ nightlife.

From the community

“great staff”

The bartenders are nice. The best evenings to go are Thursday through Saturday. Events start around midnight. It's quiet on other nights.

“The Tree House....”

What an idea... and it also works as a nice modern fairy tale. A great small spot.

“Friendly neighborhood bar”

Came on a Monday night so it was really quiet, but the folks were friendly. There was a pool tournament happening.

“Friendly...”

Locals here are quite welcoming, but the crowd is small. I visited on two different evenings, and it was mostly empty.
