Plug901's Brunch Guide
Instead of waiting on me to post my #Brunchoftheday why not give you all a list restaurants that offer brunch! Click on the name of the restaurant to be taken to their website and get all the info you need about their brunch! If you have trouble locating the info you need don't hesitate to reach out to me! Also, I will put an asterisk next to the places that I have been to and you all can message me to inquire about what I thought about that particular spot! Oh! Call before you go to a restaurant, check hours, and make reservations if you can! Things have changed (and are still changing) so much in the last to years and sometimes info isn't updated as often as it should be!
Happy Brunching!

Plug901's Local Government Guide
Hey hey! As you all may know this October we select a new city mayor. I thought it was import to have a guide with helpful tools and information. This Guide will also include dates of events you can attend such as meet & greets, forums, fundraisers, or other informational activities. If the candidate has a website you'll be able to click their name and a new window will open. Feel free to let me know if there is any other information you would like to see on this subject or if you have valid information to add. This election includes Memphis city council positions and Memphis Court Clerk. I'll update the guide as information is obtained.
Definition & Responsibilities of a Mayor:
According to the city of Memphis website the mayor is elected to four-year terms with a limit of two terms. The mayor provides leadership and operational guidelines to all divisions within City government and has sole contracting authority for the City. The mayor carries out City policies and appoints board members to various agencies, commissions, and authorities, including the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division and the Memphis Area Transit Authority.
Definition & Responsibilities of City Council:
According to the city of Memphis website City Council members are also elected to four-year terms with a limit of two terms. Seven City Council members are elected from single-member districts, and six Council members are elected, three apiece, from two super districts that each cover half of the city. Council members meet 24 times per year, typically the first and third Tuesdays of each month, at City Hall. These meetings are open to the public. The Council elects a chair and vice chair, organizes into committees, exercises legislative powers, approves budgets and establishes the property tax rate.
Definition & Responsibilities Court Clerk:
According to the city of Memphis website the City Court Clerk’s Office consists of the Traffic Violations Bureau and the City Courts, with four satellite offices located at the Old Allen, Raines, Union, and Ridgeway police stations.

Plug901's Rooftop Guide
Hey y'all! It's almost summer so I know that knowing where to go after work and on the weekends is important! So, I wanted to start a list of rooftops since we are finally getting more! Thank God!
Tiger and Peacock at The Memphian Hotel
This is a new addition for us and is located in vibrant Midtown. The hotel opened up this year and has an onsite restaurant and rooftop bar! The rooftop bar is now open to the public. This is the only hotel in Overton Square and I hope there are more to come. I haven't been in yet but it looks really nice and trendy!
The Peabody Hotel
Old Faithful! When we were struggling for a rooftop vibe The Peabody hotel was there to bring us parties, good drinks, and views! And although the rooftop parties are still on pause until spring of 2022 The Peabody is now offering Sunset Social Hour! This will give you a chance to hear a little music, have some cocktails, and enjoy the beautiful view of the city from The Peabody Hotel. Dates for the Sunset Social Hour are on the event calendar.
Hu Hotel
This rooftop has been closed for a little while but I recently saw them post about reopening this summer and I am super excited! I love the decor of this place and the fact that there is an indoor and outdoor option for sitting! When they were open the bartenders were really nice and the drinks were good!
Beck and Call at Hyatt Centric
This is another newbie! The rooftop is located inside of the Hyatt Centric which is the first and only hotel on Beale Street. I've been inside the hotel and it is NICE!! I haven't been to the rooftop yet but the pictures are really pretty!
Old Dominick Distillery
I love this place! They have a rooftop bar with indoor and outdoor seating options as well! The rooftop isn't extremely high BUT it still has a nice view, vibe, and great drinks! Plus, Old Dominick has Memphis Made spirits and so much Memphis history! IT'S A WHOLE DISTILLERY WHERE THEY MAKE THE LIQUOR! That alone is enough for me! *I'm a bar nerd Lol*
Eight & Sand at Central Station
So, this one is classified as a patio according to central station however, I feel like it meets rooftop criteria. Lol Eight & Sand is a dope ass cocktails bar and lounge located inside of the massive Central Station Hotel. This place is gorgeous and ideal for several fake off guards! But the lounge isn't what I consider to be the rooftop it is the elevated patio that is upstairs. This (rooftop) patio is perfect for nice weather and has a decent view if you ask me! It is at the railroad track and also perfect for pictures!
Mississippi Terrace at the Pyramid/ The Lookout at The Pyramid
Both of these are at Big Cypress Lodge AKA The Pyramid. I included both because they both have amazing views and bars but only one of them is referred to as a "rooftop". Mississippi Terrace is a rooftop patio that opened in late 2019 with fire pits, lounge furniture, and high-top tables. They have really good drinks and the view is gorgeous especially at sunset. I went here for my birthday last year and really enjoyed my visit. Now, the lookout, to get to this one you have to take a ride on the country's tallest elevator to reach your destination but you won't be disappointed when you get there. This one is technically a restaurant but the reason it is called the lookout is because of the glass balcony outside of the dining area at the top of the pyramid that gives you a view of the entire city. I recently saw that they have been opening the glass doors on the inside of the restaurant and I fell in love. I have to have dinner there one night with the doors open! Either one will give your rooftop experience.
Well, guys, that is it for now but more rooftops are coming, and as they open I will add them to our list! I've included the links to each rooftop so just click on the name and it will take you to the website! Y'all have fun, explore, and be safe!
