About

Bar: Full bar

Bhan Thai is open for dinner Wed-Sun, with lunch hours on Fri-Sun from 11am. This authentic Thai spot in a historic Midtown house has earned 'Best Thai' in Memphis for the last 10 years. The owner, a Kentucky native with a Southern accent, runs a genuinely gay-friendly operation. Regulars rave about the cute, gay waitstaff and the great patio under 100-year-old oaks.

Live music plays on the patio Friday through Sunday evenings when weather permits. The place has a full bar, happy hour, and free WiFi. It's a popular Sunday afternoon hangout for a relaxed crowd. Reservations are accepted. If you're exploring Midtown, nearby Molly Gonzales' La Casita offers a different vibe if you want a change of pace.

“Great authentic Thai food with a full gay staff!!”

Great patio with a fun Sunday afternoon crowd. The owner is LGBTQ-friendly and the waitstaff are attractive and queer! Top restaurant in midtown Memphis.
