Memphis Restaurant Association

Founded in 1947, the Memphis Restaurant Association is the restaurant and foodservice business advocate for the Mid-South, providing a forum for owners, managers and employees to come together to provide Memphis with the necessary tools for customers to choose the greatest places to eat out.

Bain Barbecue

Unlike other barbecue styles, Texas craft BBQ doesn’t rely on heavy sauces or seasoning to add flavor – instead, it’s all about the meat itself. At its core, Texas craft BBQ is all about quality meat cooked low and slow, with a focus on letting the natural flavors shine through. This means using the highest quality sustainably-sourced cuts of meat that make up the Texas Trinity: mouth watering brisket, full pork spare ribs, and house-made sausage, all cooked for hours over oak wood to create tender, smoky, and flavorful meat. But what really sets Texas craft BBQ apart is the dedication to the craft itself. Pitmasters in Texas spend years perfecting their smoking and barbecuing techniques. It’s a true art form, and one that’s celebrated in Texas and now in Memphis.

Hammer & Ale

Craft Beer
Offering pints, samplers, and growlers; we maintain a balanced and evolving selection on 24 draught taps + some limited release options from the local guys.

Great Food
Though concise, our food menu was designed to complement our beverage selection. While we are not a full-service restaurant – food was certainly not an afterthought. Intended to be sharable and light, but substantive; we offer something for everyone.

Why It Matters
Much more than just a beverage – craft beer is a critical component of our social, economic, and political well-being and has played a central role in nearly all cultures, past and present. In fact, that there is convincing evidence that the development of agriculture: widely regarded as the foundation of civilization, was actually based on the cultivation of grain for beer – not bread. Beer is the staff of Life.

Throughout human history, the drinking-place has been regarded a special environment. A separate social world with its own customs and values; a socially integrative, welcoming environment – whose primary function is to facilitate social bonding.

First and foremost – we provide individualized customer service. Every guest is unique and our knowledgeable staff is here to ensure that you get the most from your visit – whether it’s your first time in, or you’re a regular.

We offer a carefully curated selection of local & regional beers and a well-crafted food menu in a warm, friendly, atmosphere. We strive to be that place that binds people together – encouraging & reinforcing social hospitality through beer culture.

Monday – Closed
Tuesday – Thursday 2:00 – 8:00 pm
