Dining + Drinks at The Memphian
One of the highlights of staying here is that you don’t even have to leave the property for a great meal or drink. Seriously, it has some of my favorite dining and hangout spots right here in Memphis!
Complicated Pilgrim
The hotel’s signature restaurant, Complicated Pilgrim, offers a creative take on Southern-inspired dishes in a space that feels warm and elevated. Don’t let the name fool you. Their menu screams anything but hotel restaurant. Everything I have ever ordered here has been nothing short of great. I love dining here for breakfast and dinner, and they also make great lattes.
Tiger and Peacock
The rooftop bar is one of the best spots in Memphis for the views and the vibes. Tiger and Peacock has a vibrant, eclectic feel with sweeping views of the city, making it perfect for sunset drinks or a night out without ever leaving the hotel. You can sit indoors or out. They have a huge bar inside, and they have a great great menu with small bites. They have recently extended their food menu, and it’s so good! This is our favorite spot in Memphis for a night out.
