Cameo

Cameo is an exceptional cocktail bar. This is where you go if you enjoy classic cocktails. I have visited several bars and lounges in the Memphis area and asked the bartender for a simple daiquiri, only to be met with confusion. Cameo’s menu is actually mainly comprised of a list of classic and new classic cocktails, all sorted by descriptors, such as “rich and flavorful” and “spirit forward.” That is very helpful for newcomers such as myself! Cameo also has interesting seasonal house cocktails like the one I have pictured. Except for their “secret” cocktail, they all have flavor profiles included in the menu, which determine how sweet or spirit forward they are. The drinks are reasonably priced at around $10-15 depending on the drink. The food is, however, a tad overpriced. I had the rotel dip and chips. It was decent, but it costed $12. It was nice and warm. The dip did the job, but I think $6 would be a much more reasonable price. I probably won’t be trying any other food except for the fries, but that really doesn’t matter to me! Cameo is a cocktail bar and lounge first and foremost, and let me just say that they are the best in Memphis! I hope that they don’t change a thing in that regard because I have yet to go anywhere in Memphis that excels at cocktails like them. The atmosphere is cool. It’s dark and moody, without any loud music or anything. It will only be as loud as the fellow patrons are. Both times I have visited, the patrons were all laid back, minding their own business. Not to mention that the bartenders are all awesome! This place has a phenomenal staff. I hope you are all getting paid well because you deserve it! I made sure to leave a decent tip both times. Cameo, you are a gem! You are a genuine cocktail lounge. You make me feel much more sophisticated than I actually am. Please, keep doing what you are doing.

There aren’t many places in Memphis that really get into the holiday spirit like Cameo. Definitely appreciate their energy! Drinks were made well :)

You’d assume this place is an awkward, stuck up, misplaced bar in midtown inside an apartment building, but I assure you, this place will exceed your expectations and TRUST ME, is way better than any bar in downtown. We stopped by after an absolutely awful experience at a trendy bar in downtown… and we couldn’t have picked a better place. Cute diverse crowd, all bar staff friendly and professional. Huge cocktail menu, they have a rotating seasonal menu with lots of interesting choices. They also have other menus like shooters and lighter abv options. Favorites were the “scooby snack” shooter which was basically a banana/coconut cream shot and sweet, just how I like it. Don’t remember which ones I had, everything was pretty good. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

My favorite bar in town! The best cocktails, bartenders, food, DJ sets and atmosphere. Every time im out of town visiting another city, I’m always missing this place! Truly a gem. 🥹 Go to: Pisco Sour, chicken nuggets and fries. hot and fresh.

Where do I start!? I first came to Cameo for date night and I was impressed with the rather vibey northern bar feel. We had a burger and two old fashioned drinks, which we both enjoyed. The service was quick and the service was great! I came back after the Cooper Young Fest for happy hour with my girls and was so pleased to see that they have happy hour from 4-7 EVERYDAY! The bartenders are excellent, and took great care of us. We stayed for the whole happy hour. Everything is good. We also got fries, which I highly recommend.

Cameo is one of my favorite happy hour spots in Memphis! Perfect for a Girl's night or Date Night. Their cocktails are always unique and delicious and their popcorn chicken and fries is my favorite to snack on. This is a must stop place when visiting the city or if you're a local!
