Tucked in the corner of the second
floor of the Crosstown Concourse
sits one of Memphis's most
glittering gems. Opening in the Fall
of 2018, Art Bar at Crosstown Arts
has been serving perfectly curated
cocktails in a retro-inspired interior.
Transporting you into an intimate
space beautifully decorated with
tangerine-hued lighting, plush
turquoise mid-century modern
couches, and lush green tropical
print upholstered chairs. The bar's
breathtaking interior offered
4Memphis the perfect scene for
our latest fashion shoot. With
Spring just around the corner,
playful prints in bright colors from
goldenrod to magenta are seen
gracing the racks in stores all across
the city. Thank you to Art Bar at
Crosstown Arts for providing us
with an inspirational setting and
allowing these ensembles to come
to life.
Art Bar at Crosstown Arts is a fullservice
bar serving a curated list of
wines and craft beers and a menu
of artful, cutting-edge cocktails.

ingredients from Memphis and
