Coolest "dive" in midtown with good Memphis music!
I heard great things about this place and Ive been very excited to go. I found out my friends were holding a show there so I figured I’d go and support :) I go in and the place is so welcoming and the inside is very cool and stylish. The bar tender and I exchanged a few words and she/they was so kind and awesome! I’d say the ONLY thing keeping me from adding the fifth star on this review is the smell. I dont know what it smells like but I couldn’t be there long at all. I don’t blame the lounge for this for im a hyper sensitive person. But for someone that is used to strong smells, like incense and cigarettes… this wasn’t either, just unbreathable. I throw no shade nor hate for this beautiful company, this is just a simple fix with a few scented candles, but other than that tiny issue, i recommend y’all go see the shows they have drag!!! Sending good vibes and lots of love your way Lamplighter, thank you for keeping memphis, well memphis! <3
Always a great place with beautiful people. The live music on weekends, variety shows, and trivia are not the only draws-being at the OLDEST BAR in Memphis, in a safe atmosphere and good food are good reasons too.
Was there for trivia night. Was fun and affordable
Best spot for chill dive bar vibes since P&H closed its doors ?❤️ also shout-out to both Laurel for the amazing food, and Chuck for always having a cool tabletop game or board game on hand✨
I used to drive by this place for years and then one day I went in and I was like holy moly where have you been my whole life!?! Cool vibes, great food and a space in the back with some creative bands and entertainment. Dive bar hometown feel.
Enjoyed the comedy show, decent food for a bar. Interesting atmosphere.
Hipster joint with a few beers on tap and in cans, burgers, fries, cheese sandwiches, and occasional shows. Looks like someone with ADHD accidentally decorated it with thrift store finds, but it will grow on you a bit.
Love The Lamp! Phenomenal veggie burgers and fries, great bands. Always good folks to hang out with!
