Atomic Rose

From the door to the dance floor nothing but great food drinks and people. The Hostess at the door is always friendly, and greets you with a wonderful smile. You’ll love the bartenders they’re always so friendly and nice. The chefs are even awesome and friendly. Just an all round great place to party. And the shows are always Absolutely AWESOME as well. I love going here from time to time. And mind you I travel from Tupelo Mississippi 2 hours away to get here. It’s always well worth the trip and time. I love it. The atmosphere is awesome. And the owner is a very nice and respectful gentleman as well. And they care about your security and safety as well. They always have very handsome security. As a matter of fact I think I’ll go tonight.

Only gay bar downtown. They were closed on a random weekday they were supposed to be open, but checked it out again the next night. Fun atmosphere and super chill! Bartenders were all nice and made great tasting drinks! Affordable prices on drinks and bar food!

If you want to have a great time drinking, laughing, and dancing this is the place for you!It was my first time here and the brunch is delicious, but the entertainment is where it’s at! Loved the drag queen show and will definitely be back again for some more Sunday funday!!!

I went Saturday and it wasn’t pack but the staff was so friendly and nice!!! I love them so so much and will be back!!! And fyi the food and drinks were amazing!!

Aaahh yes☺☺☺☺ my old stomping ground. Cant wait to come back. I love it here. Great every thing dj, drinks,food,and drag!!! Its great here

This was my first time visiting this establishment. I went with my sister, niece, her boyfriend and my best friend. We arrived early because we were informed the show was extremely good and good seating was limited. We ordered wings, fries and mostly everything on the menu. Everything was fresh and delicious. We also ordered drinks throughout the night and they were fantastic. I wish I could remember all of the food and drinks we ordered; however the drinks were so good I forgot 🫣🫣😳👌🏽😂😂…The show was amazing with exceptional performances. Everyone in my party 🎉 truly enjoyed ourselves and we all stated we will definitely be back. We had such an incredible time that our final bill came out to around $550 and it was worth every dollar we spent….

Came to brunch on a Sunday and enjoyed a fabulous drag show and then bingo right after. Bloody Mary’s were delicious as was the food. Can’t wait to go back!! Great enterTaintMent 💃👽🤪🤩

Was in town to see friends and went for brunch. Was very skeptical of ordering, not knowing what the food would be like coming from a bar. I was dead wrong! They had the best shrimp and grits in the south! Completely blew my mind they were off the chain! Service was excellent, atmosphere was excellent, and the food was excellent!

The Sunday Brunch was amazing! We had a blast and the ladies were amazing!

It might be the only gay spot downtown, but you’ll do better giving your money to a business that actually supports gay/queer artists and is owned by a steadfast community member. I’ll be surprised if this review actually gets posted considering they’ve taken down any bad reviews posted in the past few days.

I love the energy here and the staff is soooo amazing, not to mention the food is soooo amazing I ordered a chef salad...the best Ive had in a long while

Will be coming here regularly. The atmosphere feels so safe and inviting. All of the staff is very friendly. Our server, I think her name was Jayden, was so kind and friendly and got us everything we needly in a timely manner. The drinks are delicious and well priced. They play great music, everything looks very clean, and the food is INCREDIBLE. And the portions are awesome for the price. Would rate 10 stars if I could- I love this place. Will absolutely be going back.

Took my niece to her first drag show to celebrate her birthday and had an amazing time. We had brunch (which was surprisingly delicious) and way too much to drink! Awesome way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Got in early on a Saturday night and snagged a table. The DJ was great, the show was awesome our waitress and drinks were great. 10/10 would do it all again next weekend if I could.

Bar was great and everyone was very friendly. We came around 8pm before a Grizzlies game and it blew my mind that a great venue like this did not have more customers even early on! I support this place 100% hope to come back for a brunch!

Great bar for the gay scene in Memphis check it out on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings for brunch.

Never in my life have I ever been to a bar that was more lively and unique. The staff knew exactly what they were doing - accurate and precise. The music and atmosphere were sublime and of the darker setting, leaving just a hint mystery in the air. This is not your sit down for a quiet beer bar at all. If you want to have a lively, original evening go to atomic rose.

“Atomic Rose” Memphis, TennesseeMusic: Hip-HopRatchet Level: LowCover Charge: $10Stop two on my summer road trip. I was surprised this place has a dress codes. LGBTQ+ establishments are usually come as you are. Regardless this place is located right outside of Beale Street which has an extremely high ratchet level. I can’t imagine the incidents that take place between the two crowds. Regardless this place is really nice. I did not get a chance to see a drag show. This review was done on a Saturday night in June around midnight. They is a host/cashier in the foyer. After you pay you enter a very large room with a stage on the far side and two bars on different sides of the room. I headed straight to the bar in the back and ordered drinks for my guest. The bartender was very fun and interactive and fed me an orange slice. It was super cute and fun. But the drink was regular. The crowd was dying down but it was just the right amount of people for me. This allowed you room to dance, take pictures, and move around. There were a few people on stage having their moment. It was a live DJ playing a variety of music and request. I didn’t get a chance to see the cleanliness of the restroom, but if it’s anything like the main room I’m sure it’s fine. There is a lot of seating and tables. The atmosphere seemed more catered to drag shows instead of an actually club to party. I could see someone wanted to host an event here. Overall this is a cute experience. This was one of two clubs I was attending tonight. The locals told me to pre-game here before heading to a more urban spot open much later because Atomic closed around 2am. The crowd was diverse in terms of race and gender. Next time I’ll be sure to pop in a little early to attend a drag show and update my review. Your favorite LBGTQ+ club critic; Shamel Jones.

UPDATE: Spoke with the owner, there was an accidental error on the bartender’s part. Wasn’t intentional price gauging. Appreciated him looking into the issue. Initially, my friend and I both were significantly overcharged for our drink orders, but since our receipts weren’t itemized, we didn’t push it in the moment. Overall, atmosphere was great, just didn’t appreciate the error.

This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for a different type of show. Very entertaining and lively! The bar food was good and the drinks were great! Everyone there was very friendly! Will definitely go back sometime!

I am really impressed with how well the place is done. I really hope everyone gives it a try and supports it...

Not at all queer friendly because of owner! They treated their entertainers with disrespect

Love the atmosphere, wish my family wasnt there so I couldve been more myself there. Amazing wait staff and good food! I hope to come back soon ^-^

Great art, atmosphere, service and food. Fun Saturday night out!

This is the best bar in town! The queens are always spectacular, and Corey makes the best drinks. A perfect place for a night out!

By far 5 star location!! The bartenders take mixology seriously and same for service. Please make sure you stop by here while in Memphis... you won’t be disappointed!!

Great bar wonderful staff. Drinks are some of the best I have had here in Memphis. This place is absolutely our go to bar in the area .

Great Sunday Drag! Fun TIME!

The lady at the door was so rude!

Brunch was fantastic!

Great place!

Awesome!

Boring

We liked the show, and your attention. 2 points were not 5 stars: variety of wines, there were no reds. And the invoice breakdown. It was the first time. But the bill was a bit high for what we consumed. We enjoyed it:
