Mary's Bar of Tropical Escapism
Memphis, Tennessee, United States
Opened April 13th, 2024.
Mary Oglesby and Paul Gilliam, who created and opened the Cameo cocktail bar in Midtown, are the co-owners of Mary's B.O.T.E.
The interior has a dark classic tiki feel with fish traps hanging from the ceiling above the bar, and a back-bar shelving unit stacked with booze and featuring what must represent many many hours of routering native style patterns.
Across from the bar and barstools are diner style booths lining the wall from front to back.
There is also a back patio decorated with pink and turquoise yard flamingos.

Mary's is a cool little Tiki bar - even though they don't call themselves that. We've been three times since April, and have enjoyed each visit. The drinks are good, and there's usually a short wait to get in. Biggest shortcoming is the food; which is toaster oven finger food - but hey it's better than nothing. I hope they continue to have success so they'll move to a bigger space with a kitchen and more room for Tiki wonderment. Either way, I'm glad to have Mary's in town!

We were back at Mary's again this past Thursday. The Memphis Rum Club meets here once a month, and it's always a good time. Mac is a great bartender...

Quiet Tuesday night at Mary's - Space is great, really good drinks and an awesome vibe - The food option is the only weak area, basically just what they can make behind the bar like toaster oven pizza - But the hot chicken spot next door is awesome, just grab some food from there - Mary's is a great spot if you are in Memphis - Need to make like a music note custom mug, or an Elvis one -
