Loflin Yard is a casual spot with a cool atmosphere - most of it is literally a yard - that's open for dinner during the week. On weekends, it's open during the day and until late. 

Group Hangout Spot Downtown Memphis

Loflin has a front bar room that's indoors and serves up craft cocktails and local beer, and you can order food. There's also a building, The Coach House , with another bar. In between, there's a big open lawn with chairs, fire pits, picnic tables, games, and more. Think rustic-but-fancy bbq joint. Tin roofs. Refurbished furniture.
