Cameo

My fave bar in Midtown! The atmosphere is so moody- love it!! The cocktails are beautifully crafted and I love their approach with the seasonal menus! You truly get an experience when you visit cameo! The owners, Mary and Paul are wonderful and all the staff is friendly! They have a wonderful happy hour and great late night foods. I would recommend this place to anyone especially people visiting Memphis.

Elevated rustic lodge interior design with dark walls and taxidermy decors. Besides the classic concoction, the speakeasy like bar also serve up special house mix every season and light bites. Monday is Happy Hour All Day ~ ~ * the Old Fashion tho was not smooth enough and a little hard on my taste.

Great place to meet up with friends for drinks. The fries are great too. #GirlDinner

Very nice and interesting bar. Seems more upscale. It's very quiet. No TVs. All orders are made at the bar so there is not any table service. Bartender was nice but didn't have much interaction with him other than ordering drinks. Ordering food from the card was kinda confusing. Overall this is a nice location. Seems like a good place for a date but not to watch a sports event. Wouldn't mind going back.

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.

Just not a very welcoming place. I have been many times before, and honestly, it was good. But somehow, the tides have changed..and I shall not return. Server was not friendly and patrons were combative to say the least. Good luck with your clientele. Spend your hard earned money, ANYWHERE ELSE.

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.

So Raine is the best bar tender I’ve ever had hands down?! She makes the best drinks I’ve ever had hands down!! Plus she’s supper sweet and personal!! Please give her a raise!!!
