Bar Keough

Midtown Memphis has a new neighborhood corner bar.

At the corner on Cooper and Peabody, the bar sits next door to Cafe 1912 and is the latest endeavor by longtime Memphis restaurateur Kevin Keough.

Bar Keough is small and cozy. Casual tables line the walls, offering seating for about 30. The centerpiece is a red-topped bar that seats 10. Keough re-did the space himself, spending time to make it just right.

It’s all about the classics at Bar Keough. “We are old school here,” Keough said. “Don’t expect to find rosemary in a drink here.”
