10Best Says

This South Main neighborhood gastropub is a bit of a secret spot, with its in-the-middle-of South Main location, in a block that needs some more gentrification. The good news is that this stretch of South Main is improving daily - thanks in part to S.O.B., as most folks call it. With a fantastic list of crafted beers including the locally-produced Ghost River, a robust wine list that the owner's totally willing to take suggestions for, and an excellent array of food including bar pies - think pizza with a twist, like pulled barbecue pork, cheddar cheese and carmelized onions - there's a myriad of reasons to drop in.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Sally Walker Davies
Memphis Local Expert

Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus: "There's a load of gluten-free items on the menu, easily ID'd by the lower case gf."
Restaurants near FedExForum: "For something completely different, try the breakfast bar pie during the weekend brunch."

Best for Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus Because: Most gastropubs don't worry too much about GF items, and we love that SOB makes this a focus of its menu.
Best for Restaurants near FedExForum Because: SOB serves up a Grizz Shot on game days - a blue-tinged concoction ($3) that taste like a lemondrop with claws.
