Alex's Tavern

Bar & grill · Voillintine-Evergreen

This neighborhood tavern has been a Memphis institution since 1953, known for its jukebox, late-night hours, and unfussy, satisfying food. The hot dog may not be fancy, but it’s earned loyal fans for its snap, fresh toppings, and unbeatable price. The Commercial Appeal and Memphis Magazine have both highlighted Alex’s as a quintessential local hangout—and its hot dogs as an essential snack after hours.
