P And H Cafe, Memphis

Self-described as the "beer joint of your dreams," this bar fits the bill as a long-time Midtown favorite. Everyone and we mean everyone, is welcome and likely to be seen here. Check out the photographs lining the walls, shoot a game of pool and say "hi" to Wanda Wilson, creator of this special world. This neighborhood bar draws regulars from across Memphis, with live music on the weekends and events like its annual Hank Williams birthday fete each September and monthly original poetry readings.
