Bardog Tavern

Food and service were great. Bring your ear plugs if you're looking for quiet cause this place isn't it. I liked it. Staff were pleasant and cordial and they were open late, like 2am late. Limited late menu but food was great.

I was tired of all the BBQ and southern fried goodness my friends and I had tried while spending a week in Memphis. We decided we wanted to go to a more authentic and local place and found this gem. We stopped in here on a Friday evening. The upstairs was very busy so we headed downstairs where there are several tables and another full bar. We were quickly seated and given our drinks.Bardog is divey (I do LOVE a good dive bar), but the food is anything but standard bar fare. There was something for everyone's dietary preference in my group. The menu features several cuisines including Italian, Tex-Mex, and American. There are vegetarian options available and I chose the Monster Vegetarian Burrito with a side of asparagus. It's filled with pico, black beans, rice, shredded cheese and other veggies. Of all the places in Memphis, this was the best meal I had hands down. Our server was fast and had good recommendations. Food and drink prices are very reasonable, especially considering its proximity to the tourist haunts. I would definitely recommend.

So first of all 5 stars for Leslie. She gave outstanding service and was super kind. But that's where the fun stop. When you first get there they act like you're a school shooter and wand you down, he also made me open my jacket so he could pat me down as well. I just want yall to know it's never that deep. That was the beginning to the end. Once we were seated we ordered food and drinks and here comes so tall guy with a baseball cap on telling my friend Wes he couldn't wear a backwards baseball cap because it was against there policy. . . Ok so I will also post their policy on wardrobe so you can see it's not on there.. anywhere. Anyway the pasta was bland. The shot was ok the only good thing is they have miller high life for 4 dollars. Save your coins. Go somewhere nicer. Two stars for Leslie. Cause I had to give stars.

The ambiance and service were 5/5, but I didn't love the sliders--3/5. I do not recommend them and I think they need to add more flavor and less mayonnaise seriously. The bar allowed smoking on the ground floor, but the cozier (and quieter) basement was non-smoking. Overall, the vibes were cozy but the food was mid

After needing a break from the downtown area, I stumbled upon this spot for some food and drinks. It is dive bar vibes, the bartenders are awesome, and the food was tasty after a long day out. I enjoyed my time here, and not to mention the free shot I got to take with the whole bar really added to the experience. I would come back here if I am ever in Memphis again.

Always a great experience at Bardog! Came here for a friend's birthday and the downstairs space is a great vibe with music in the background but low enough for great conversation. Service is fast! And the food speaks for itself.

Bardog is a downtown staple and rightfully so! We live nearby, so we order regularly. My favorite is the caprese grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. I also love the chicken tenders and fries, as well as the Cobb salad. Who am I kidding - I love it all! Service is top notch and very fast! Ambiance - well, it is a tavern, so if you go later in the evening, definitely expect the "bar" vibe. Oh - and brunch is 10/10 as well!

Walking around Downtown I found Bardog. Very cool place, laidback vibe, good music (80s/90s the night I was there). It was lively enough to not be boring but not so loud that it was hard to concentrate. I had a beer and the blackened pork chop and Brussels sprouts. Both were excellent but I would have liked a few more sprouts. (I was super hungry and dug in before I could get a picture.). I sat downstairs. Great cozy bar area. Bartender was super nice and attentive. I may need to stop in again before I head home.

Multiple vibes at any given time between upstairs and downstairs. I normally relegate my downstairs visit to after hours as they stay open until 3am. Be warned that smoking is allowed. Music was very dope. Service was very good and prompt. On this particular visit, I sat at the bar. My only complaint is based on MY particular tastes. I don't like that cut on breakfast potatoes and I wished my cheese was blended into my eggs, but eh. Pleasant experience still and very inexpensive, surprisingly. I'll be back sooner than later. Downtown Parking, so you know how that goes.
