Bar DKDC

I'm disappointed to update my review to two stars. I likely won't be back.I arrived to grab a glass of wine and relax for a little bit. The bouncer stopped me and abruptly said, "cover's $12". I paused and said, "oh, didn't know that there was a cover" "yeah, band tonight". With no one behind me waiting to get in, the bouncer again abruptly said, "well...." and pointed his hand toward the street. Meaning, that if I wasn't willing to make a decision to pay the $12 cover at that moment, he was directing me to move to the road.Wow. What an asshole.The $12 isn't an issue for me, it just caught me off guard and I needed a moment to consider if it was worth it for me, considering that I'd likely spend maybe 30-45 mins there. I reached out to the owner, Karen, and never heard back.Maybe they're shifting toward the "scrappy dive bar" scene. That's just not for me.

So, unexpectedly I visited Bar DKDC after work and I felt so important...lol! Mainly because it was myself and a few more people there and the attention was all on us. I know this place is not the "traditional" after work work spot, but I must say, I got a lot accomplished on my computer this day. I ordered the Corn Fritters for an appetizer that were served with a Blueberry Sauce that was to die for! I then had the Watermelon and Wings! They were wonderful also. My experience was great and now I think I can add this to my list of work spots!

There were young people and old people, black people and white people, straight people and gay people. I'm 40 and it was nice to be in a hipster bar that had such a range of folks who love music. The DKDC is cozy intimate space with a patio. We were fortunate to catch Hunt Sales last night. It was a total jam. I propped myself up on the bar watch the show as did a few other ladies. It was an experience. Bonus: the bathroom smelled real nice

I didn't take photos but I just have to say this place had great atmosphere great music, great service. The cocktail menu is excellent also. We had the jerk chicken with plantains, NY strip, the amazing brussel sprouts, and the shrimp and the white truffle fries. It was some of the best food I have had this year. Great job Memphis! They pay the bands so don't have complaints about cover charge even if you eat here. They try to get bands from out of town as well as local bands. Support live music

Cool ambiance, not pretentious, great service. We stopped here for drinks as a quick snack. We ordered the grilled Maitake mushrooms - a little too much soy for me but overall was good. I wasn't in the mood for a cocktail so I opted for their vanilla porter. It was delicious.We would come back here to try their other offerings!

The name "Bar DKDC (Don't Know Don't Care)" only tells half the story.To me, it's a restaurant/lounge.This is one of my go-to restaurants for good, small-to-medium-sized plates. They have great portion sizes!The cool thing about DKDC is they regularly change the menu, but keep items that are huge crowd favorites like the Chicken Havanas (DELISH). I've never had a bad dish.DKDC is full of character and comfort.I love the decor, I feel like I'm in an artsy loft whenever I go there.On weekends, you might stumble upon an awesome local band.It's a must-do, if you're in Memphis.Oh, before you leave, be sure to take a $5 pic in the photo booth with your pal.

We have been here more than once. One time we had great service right around dinner time. This last time we came around midnight and they had a $10 cover. I sat at the bar for 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. What a a bad experience. Maybe next time the people that work there will actually pay attention to customers.

Love this bar! It has a great vibe, really cozy and fun atmosphere. You can come for dinner and drinks or come a little later for a fun live concert! The drinks are delicious! I ordered the Greenline and it was lovely. My friends ordered a moscow mule. Highly recommend!

We are having a wonderful night! This place has classic Motown music and current music thats familiar and inviting. Ashely has been amazing regarding her recommendations and hospitality. My mood was apathetic when I came in and I left more apathetic. Just kidding! I feel better than ever and ready to take on the night. Thank you Ashley!

The drinks were superb and the service was Devine! We had a blast!! Ordering dinner from The Beauty Shop next door works beautifully‼
