The Brass Door Irish Pub

The Brass Door Irish Pub stands as a beloved landmark in the heart of downtown Memphis, Tennessee, just two blocks from the iconic Peabody Hotel. This family-owned establishment has been welcoming patrons through its gleaming brass door since 2011, though the building's rich history dates back to 1905. Owners Scott and Meg Crosby, native Memphians, partnered with Killala, Ireland native Seamus Loftus and Shawna Engel to restore the historic Marx and Bensdorf building at 152 Madison Avenue, creating an authentic Irish pub experience that blends Memphis warmth with Irish tradition. The pub features a dark wood bar, original 100-year-old tile floors, and charming Irish collectibles that transport visitors across the Atlantic. The Brass Door is renowned for serving what many consider the best pint of Guinness in Memphis, pulled by their skilled bar staff. The menu offers classic pub fare including Shepherd's Pie, hand-cut steak and chips, smoked seafood chowder, and weekend brunch featuring traditional Irish breakfast. With ten screens throughout, the pub is the downtown destination for catching live international soccer and rugby matches, hosting the Memphis Chapter of The Gooners, Bluff City Mafia, and American Outlaws. Whether you're an expat seeking a taste of home or a local looking for authentic Irish hospitality, The Brass Door promises a genuine experience where the world meets in Memphis.
