Earnestine & Hazel's Bar & Grill

Without a doubt, this is my favorite bar in Memphis and has been for years now. Enjoy a Soul Burger (best burger in Memphis) while listening to live music or hearing stories from Nate upstairs. There is always a barstool next to you with a friend you haven't met yet.

JB, Lex and Tim on the grill are the real deal. They handled a huge crowd with ease. A must do in Memphis.

Listen do not have one bad thing to say about this place....AT ALL!!!! Before i moved further southwest, i would frequent there at least 3 times a week, it was practically a ritual. And as always, the live bands be spectacular..,especially if you're a connoisseur of the arts. Gotta put that back on my to-do-list...I truly do miss Ernestine & Hazel's. Might just have to plan a road trip so I can reminisce.

I feel for Earnestine and Hazel's--it's a great neighborhood dive bar that's forced to try to be something it's not. So let's be clear: this is not a tourist spot. It's not a cute haunted house, and the word "bougie" does not apply in any way, shape, or form.What it is is a no-frills place to get a cheap and simple burger that is quite good, whatever bag of chips the guy decides to hand you, and a beer. Maybe watch a game while you're there and chat with the bartender. Don't go looking for more than that, and you'll leave happy.

This place is absolutely perfect. If you want tourists, evenings. I like the quiet early evening vibe, the gal behind the bar is/was super friendly, makes sure you know about the ghosts upstairs. I didn't get spooked but I don't knock it. You don't know. Maybe the guy smoking in the 12 Mellow Fellows Blues Lounge was a ghost, you don't know‍Either way, I dug the vibe upstairs. I dig the entire place:)

This is the type of place where you can come in quickly to grab a bite and drink. It is not fancy at all. This place is the definition of a dive bar. Customer Service was good and I was told the food was good.The place looks old like it is falling apart but that is part of the charm. This place only serves single or double cheeseburgers but the burgers are good. I asked the bartender to make me her favorite cocktail and she did a wonderful job putting something together. Wish this place had more seating and tables.

This dive bar has so much character! The gem of this place is in a upstairs room and he is named Nate. This pleasant elderly bartender is a living history museum of experience and was so fun to visit with. We just had beers so I can't speak to food or cocktails but the visit was memorable.

This place was awesome. It does look a little roughy but it fits. And it is clean! Just old. We went to several bars everyday and every night by we would be up here. Bands were great, the bartenders awesome and friendly. Then there's the best end of the night burgers! These things just hit right!!!

I had a wonderful time here at Earnestine & Hazel's. The food is really fresh and the drinks are affordable. The service is very chill and fast. The ambiance is cute and cool too.5 stars

Hands down best bar in Memphis - unbelievable live music, soul burgers, and friendly staff and patrons. I have moved away from Memphis and this will always be my #1 stop when visiting. Don't miss Nate's bar upstairs!
