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.

Great place to hang out. Bar is well stocked. Jukebox is classic. Food is OG with some of the BEST ribs, wings, and burgers in Memphis. Old school and safe. Try it don’t miss it.

My fiancée moved into Memphis Dec 11th, we were introduced to Alex's and fell in love. Rocky the owner might be the patron saint of Memphis.

Can’t beat this spot—quick to call it the best dive bar in Memphis; honestly thinking it might be the best dive bar I’ve ever stepped foot in. Cheap libations and excellent food—topped off by one incredible atmosphere. Cash only!

Can't think of anything bad to say. Sometimes they've got Old Style from Chicago. Nice smoking bar w bar shuffleboard. Great prices. $3 liquor setup. Rocky is a great dude, super personal. Great dive bar. Cash only, but they have an ATM...but a $5 fee. Nice comfortable oversized old bar seats. Nice booths. Jukeboxes. Just super nice. Not quiet, but loud at all. Nice place to unwind.

What a wonderful restaurant. We had a lovely relaxing lunch here. The service was outstanding, atmosphere was relaxing and lovely decor in the restaurant. We had the platter of mixed meet and cheese followed by tiramisu, one of the best ever. Highly recommend not. I can't remember her name we had a few drinks ..LOL but the blonde one who gave myself and wife a drive to our hotel after ..xoxo

Nice dive bar. Cash only, but they have an ATM. Burgers and wings were reasonably sized and priced. Limited draft list, but there's probably something there you'll like. Good conversations and friendly service.

No idea why it’s taken me this long to review my favorite bar in Memphis, but that’s what it is. Cheap high lifes, ciggies, and an insanely good ham & cheese sandwich. It’s the perfect bar.

Alex's was recommended by a local. Well outside of the tourist area, the owner was extremely nice. Excellent gumbo and wings. Would highly recommend for someone looking for an out of the way dive bar with excellent food and service
