Memphis Barbecue at Arnold's BBQ & Grill Downtown

Ed. Note: Arnold's BBQ & Grill has had a location at 6721 Shelby Drive for some time now, and in Whitehaven before that. Now, they have a snazzy new spot in downtown Memphis. Contributor Stacey went to check it out. 
When I first heard that a barbeque restaurant was opening in the Monroe Alley between Danny Thomas and Fourth, I thought that might be a little bit too off of the beaten path.

Pop In To Downtown's Irish Pub, The Brass Door

Ed. Note. Downtown's Irish bar/soccer HQ has reopened under new management with a refreshed menu, new hours, but the same cozy pub atmosphere and crave-worthy goat cheese balls and fries. Contributor Stacey went to check it out and has reported back. All photos are courtesy of the Brass Door unless otherwise noted. 
The Brass Door has always been a favorite watering hole, and I’m not even a Guinness girl.
