Way OT: Favorite sports bar in the Boro?
- Thread starter Matt Dossett
- Start date
I was in MJ's for first time Wednesday... I liked it
I went to GOAT once... Ran out of Jack and had no other bottles... Epic fail
The food is just like Memphis football… trash
No longer around, but was a bug Puffing Billy's fan. Liking The Goat now
Much more moderate than the old moderator (me). I wouldn't have added the qualifier 'football.'
Yep, They must be doing something right. Nine locations after opening their first almost 25 years ago. 😉

Maybe, but I can’t see you going out of your way totally off topic with an irrelevant shot at Memphis. But then maybe I’m wrong??
Irrelevant shots at Memphis are always fun because it's the rectum of the state of Tennessee. It also happens to be the location of West Tennessee State Normal School.
I’m moderating an MTSU board, not Memphis. If you want to get technical, plenty of your comments could be examples of ”irrelevant shots” at a wide range of things. I’ve allowed every single one of them and enjoy the banter.
When I die, besides the necessary information on my tombstone, I want added "I was holding back"
Which further begs the question why were the last three most recent appointments to the top positions at MTSU (Interim President, President and SVP of Finance) were moved over to Murfreesboro from Memphis???
And let’s not forget Fowler, West and Mallory???????
SMH.

Back in the day our favorite was the Woodbury Rd Jim's. After a couple hours we declared their hotdogs some of the best ever. Despite no ketchup, mustard, or relish. Come to think of it their may have been no tv's their either.
Not me. No area inside Shelby County is safe enough for my taste to live in. My sister and several friends have moved to Fayette County. Got tired of the mid-town break-Ins. Both of my vehicles and windows were broken into two weeks after I moved back to Germantown in ‘98. Thankfully, I got transferred to Brentwood in ‘99. Never looked back except to go watch football games and get out right after.
Eliza Fletcher was abducted less than 200 feet from the same intersection where Antioch and Memphis Footballer, Taylor Bradford hit a tree and died after being shot in a robbery attempt at Carpenter Complex student housing on Central Ave. That one made First 48. If you are familiar with the campus, it’s right in front of the Engineering Technology Building.
My college roommate’s teenage niece recently escaped an abduction attempt in Harbortown.

it’s a mess. The city has a lot of crime problems bit man, as an investor, there are areas with potential if they could get their stuff straight.
Yeah I’ve done a ton of business there. There’s another one in KY that’s just as big. Property values will go through the rough out there.
I've always said if Tennessee needed an enema, the tube be inserted in Memphis.
That one is the new Blue Oval SK battery plant in Glendale / Elizabethtown, KY. There will eventually be two of them there.
This thread is going off topic so I’ll add my 2 cents. I’ve always found the “my city versus your city, state vs state, country vs country” thing lame. It’s all subjective. I grew up in Nashville from 1986-2004, lived in Murfreesboro from 2004-2011, and Memphis from 2011-present. Every place had pros and cons. Memphis isn’t a bad place to live, contrary to its reputation
When it comes to sports, to their credit, Memphis supports their teams. I couldn’t care less about the grizzlies or tigers. Im a diehard MT and Titans fan, and it’s very rare to find that combo around here, but who cares? Go Blue Raiders!
Back on topic, I vote the boulevard

Would have voted Boulevard, but after going to Happy's, I give them the nod. Needs a bit more food selections, but what we did eat was really good and TONS of TVs in the back.
On West Main, across from the Alley restaurant. It's located in the old Whisky Dicks building.
It's nice. 3 golf simulator bays, duckpin bowling alleys, good atmosphere. Tons of TVs on the wall in the back area.
Yeah Happy’s is a great spot. Boro Bourbon and Brews should be opening any day now and seems like a new upscale sports bar. There’s also talks of a speakeasy coming to the square.
Whiskey Dix moved on to the square. Way too young of a crowd for me but the new building is really nice.
Nor do I. Heard too many stories plus I am not part of the young crowd.
