How many patios are too many patios for a list of MidSouth patios?

SOUTH MAIN

South Main has an incredible amount of patios and variety in set-ups. Here are a few of note.

Loflin Yard

One of the largest patio offerings in not just the South Main neighborhood but all of Memphis. I like to think of the patio as three different areas: the main courtyard with numerous seating options and fire pits, a grassy backyard, and a covered more backdoor area by the safe house. They also have a few outdoor TVs too. Pet and kid friendly.

The Lobbyist

This fine-dining restaurant offers a beautiful and large patio along S Main St. and it has a great patio-only happy hour. Choose between traditional seating or lounge couches. Pet friendly.

Max’s Sports Bar

For an outdoor sports vibe, hit Max’s Sports Bar. The outdoor deck with covered portions and TVs will be in the back of the bar but they also have a few small patio tables out front too.

Ghost River Brewing

You can’t go wrong with either Ghost River location for a patio vibe. The original South Main location offers spacious seating options, covered and not. They host a ton of movie nights and events outside plus they’re building a new stage for live music. Pet and kid friendly.

Slider Inn Downtown

Slider Inn has done so much to add to their patio experience with a music stage and large TV. Soak up the sun near their outdoor bar or lounge in one of their covered booths. Always a great spot for live music. Pet and kid friendly.

Wiseacre Taproom

The downtown HQ for Wiseacre has a huge outdoor seating from large picnic tables, intimate tables under the trees, and tables surrounding the building. Guaranteed to find a spot you like here and if you’re lucky–during a night of live music on their outdoor stage. Pet and kid friendly.

momma's patio with shaded canopies

Momma’s

Cozy yet fun is the vibe for Momma’s expanded patio with both covered and uncovered areas. The added overhead canopies add a nice touch for the outdoor seating. There is also a stage with live music constantly in the rotation.

MORE SOUTH MAIN PATIOS TO HIT:

DOWNTOWN

Sage Memphis

It’s hard to choose to sit outside when Sage just had a beautiful renovation inside but the patio gives all the comfort you need while you enjoy a fusion of soul cuisine. The patio is perfect for one of their mimosa flights.

Aldo’s Pizza Pies

Enjoy the sights of the passing trolley at one of the best large patios in downtown. The moveable tables are perfect for large groups looking to split some pizza. Covered too.

Blind Bear Speakeasy

No password is needed for this outdoor patio at Blind Bear–perfect for their brunch or late-night drinks. Sit in the sun or escape to the shade of the covered portions.

Majestic Grille

I’d pull out the measuring tape but I think it’s safe to say that Majestic Grille has one of the largest patios north of Beale in downtown. The striped awnings and flower beds make it that much more picture perfect.

Silly Goose

They have a wraparound covered patio that’s elevated away from the business of the street. The counter lining the street is perfect for people watching while chowing down on a wood fire pizza.

Flight Restaurant

For many restaurants, patios offer a much more laid back vibe. Not Flight! Go here for one of the best outdoor fine-dining experiences in all of downtown. The white table clothed tables outdoors shows they mean business. Covered too.

I liked it when you said that restaurants FREQUENTLY change their hours, open status, dog-friendly status, and patio availability.  My kids are requesting to go out for dining this Saturday. I will surprise them at an outdoor tavern restaurant. I'm sure they will be truly surprised.
