Take In The View At These Memphis Rooftop Bars

Turn it up at these rooftop bars in Memphis.

Peabody Hotel Rooftop

The Peabody Rooftop is on the top floor of the hotel, and you’re in the heart of downtown with great views of the city skyline and sunset. In the summer, the Peabody Hotel’s rooftop parties are legendary! From April through early August, enjoy music or DJs, drinks, food, and a great sunset view every Thursday night. Check out 2023's rooftop schedule here.

Head up through the Lobby elevators to the roof; they’ll have drinks and snacks available, and you might even see the ducks do their march back to their own rooftop palace at 5 p.m.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Sunset Social Hours times and schedule!

Beck & Call 

Take in panoramic views of the river at Beck & Call, the upscale rooftop lounge on the top of the Hyatt Centric hotel in downtown Memphis. Inside the lounge, sit at the bar or grab a small table, or explore multiple outdoor spaces. There are speciality cocktails ($$$) and a Southern-inspired small plates food menu. 

How to get there: When you go in the Front Street door to the hotel, turn right through the downstairs lounge and keep going to the elevator. There’s no dress code but people tend to dress up, think cocktail attire or casual cocktail. On Friday and Saturday nights, there is a $15 cover charge.

Tiger & Peacock 

Tiger & Peabody rooftop lounge and patio is on the top floor of The Memphian hotel in Overton Square. Check out the entertainment district and midtown’s streets—plus the street murals on Cooper—while you sip craft cocktails or dine from the small plates menu. 

It's mostly lounge-style seating or bar seating, plus a smaller outdoor area.

Access Tiger & Peacock through the elevators in the lobby.

Reservations are highly recommended; seating is limited and you may not get a spot, or have a long wait, if you don't reserve.

Parking: There’s the Overton Square garage (usually $3 but I've seen it up to $6...) It's painless if you download the app, snag a photo of your car tag, and pay while you walk up to the hotel. Most of the area street parking is reserved for residents, so don't bother.

More Rooftop Ideas

Beale Street Landing at Tom Lee Park is a literal grassy knoll that’s technically the roof of the building, and it’s got a great view of the river and sunset. However, Tom Lee Park is under construction right now so I'd put a pin in this one.

Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid offers a $8 ($5 for kids) elevator ride to the top of the 28-story pyramid with observation decks. While it’s not where I would hang out for drinks, it’s worth the price at least once to take in the city from the tippy top. 

Ghost River Beale Street Taproom has a deck, birds nest kind of space that overlooks their massive outdoor beer garden and stage plus offers perfect views of the downtown skyline. On busy days there's a bar open there too with a TV to enjoy a game.

Old Dominick Distillery makes their own whiskey, vodka, bourbon, and gin right here in the heart of downtown Memphis. They offer tours and their downstairs bar has reopened with limited hours. They do have a rooftop bar and patio, but it’s only open for private events and occasionally as staffing permits. Follow them on social media for updates, and read more about Old Dominick in this blog post about their tours.

My daughter just visited the Peabody. We changed our vacation from going to the South because we needed to visit my sister-in-law in Canada but I wouldn't have known about the Peabody  If she had not Told me. We will visit next year.
