Stopped in today for my fix of corned beef on marbled rye, with a side of brew fries. Yummy. The place was packed and the one bartender/waitress could not have been better. There was about 40 people and we didn't wait for anything. I would love to know where they get the marbled rye from cause it's just like my great grandmother's. Thick slices, perfectly marbled and then they put tender corned beef and creamy Swiss cheese on and toast it to perfection. I skip the kraut.

TERRIBLE customer service. 3rd glass of house chardonnay was water. Treated me like an idiot by saying it was stale old wine. Doesn't wine improve with age? I have wine in my fridge for weeks. It doesn't get watery. Not only did he cover it up with a lie, he didn't even apologize. I'm a great tipper so it's not that plus they didn't even know me but just hoping I'm an idiot. I was furious that this happened on 2 occasions. Won't be back. But mostly mad that this young pony tail toting manager explained it to me like I'm stupid. Watch your tab & your drinks!!!!

They don't clean their taps. Wait hold on, just let's take that in for a second, they don't clean their taps. Amber, the one blond bartender is the only reason I have 2 stars instead of one. This place is a dive and not really in a good way. It's dirty. It's trashy (not in the fun way). Seems like everyone in there is desperate for someone to take home on any given night. Guys trying to look girls, fake girls who need attention. If you're gonna go, get drunk quick. And please only drink what comes in a bottle. I will say that the food we ordered was good (even though I regret eating it and I'm oh so thankful that I did not get food poisoning) and every band I've heard there (except maybe one guy with his guitar) sucked. Ugh and the music on fri/sat is this horrible clubby crap that makes me wonder if I'm really in a dive bar or not.

I would love to give this place four stars, but unfortunately the food is too inconsistent. When they get it right, the Ruben is one of the best Rubens I have ever had. The meat is almost always melt in your mouth tender. When is isn't stale, the marbled rye is perfect for the sandwich. When they cook the brew fries completely, they are absolutely delicious. Finally, when they mix the cheese dip correctly, with plenty of the seasonings, it is outstanding. The staff is always friendly and usually do a very good job of checking on your table without annoying you and making sure your drinks are refilled and you get your good in a timely manner. All in all I really like eating here, I just wish it was more consistent.

They have watered down the wine the past 2 times I've been. Then they LIE about why they did it. The first visit, the bartender said it's because it's the bottom of the bottle and that is why it's watered down. That doesn't happen and even if it did, you knowingly served me watered down wine and wanted me to pay full price for it? On the second visit, it happened again. This time, I spoke with the manager. He claimed it was because the cork fell in and the wine was old. Again, didn't happen. You're saying I am the ONLY patron to order this house wine and it sat there so long that it got watery and stale? AGAIN, that didn't happen, but AGAIN, you're knowingly serving me "stale" wine and charging me for it? The manager never apologized and he acted like he was doing me a huge favor by removing my $5 glass of water off the tab. Pathetic. Both visits, both waitresses told me they could tell the wine was watered down, and the other people I was with could tell also. So it wasn't in my head. I wish I could give less than one star.

We have been here several times to see bands we like. Recently we visited on Valentine's Day to see one of our favorites, Twin Soul. The night was great up until a fight broke out. It was around 12:30 or so when the morons at the table next to us started trouble with some guy at the bar. The fight broke out and quickly spread to our table. I had enough time to grab my purse and move out of the way. My table was knocked over onto me and my chair knocked over. My beer was spilled, my belongings on my table etc. Now I am not new to bar fights, I have seen my share even been in a few when I was younger. What I am new to is the management not removing both parties from the bar! I was extremely confused that the manager allowed everyone involved in this fight to stay. Our waitress came over to apologize to us and assure us this never happens. OK that is fine but 5 minutes later the two parties involved go at it again! This time we got our tab and left!

My boyfriend and I go to TJ mulligans very regularly! We love how low key it is. The bartenders are always friendly. $3 bloody Mary's on Sunday are awesome and they use Zing zang. Also the pizza is the absolute best! Lunch is homemade and different everyday.

I really enjoyed my lunch here however, they allow smoking and I left the place smelling of tobacco. This was a real turn-off for me and the reason they did not rate another star. Service was quick and friendly and the prices are in line. Good food, but don't go if you don't like cigarette smoke.

When you enter you notice one side is the bar area and the other side is a sit down area. You can eat or drink on either side it doesn't matter. For the most part this is a bar. Good place to come in and quinch your thirst, smoke some cigs if your a smoker, or chat it up with one of the patrons. Good place nothing great nothing bad its a bar! Will definately be going back. 2 pool tables, 2 electronic dart boards, and what appeared to be some shuffelboard game.

Always get good service with a smile! Since they extended the back space, it's more fun to hang out there. Bowling machine, darts, shuffleboard... Go there on Mondays, they offer 2 for 1 beer specials all day long! Additional info: Mondays they offer $3.99 Burger w/ fries. My fav. A medium burger w/ "Beer-Battered Fries"

I have been to so many sports bars in Memphis, & I have to say this has been the worse for me. I went there expecting to play trivia, & I even called that morning to ask if trivia was still on the schedule. I was assured that there would be trivia that evening as scheduled. When my friends & I arrived, the bar was packed & there was only 1 table left. Our server greeted us & we informed her that we were there for trivia. She then told us that trivia was canceled because of the game. What the heck. Did the person I spoke to just a few hours earlier not get that memo? We stayed for a typical bar food dinner & watched the game for a little while. My husband ordered a domestic beer that was on sale. It took him 5 time explaining to our server what he wanted because she just didn't understand "Ghost River"..... He ended up pointing to a sign on their wall. She understood then. There is nothing special about their "Monday burger night" when they charge extra for cheese or any other condiment that isn't mentioned on the menu. I've certainly had better burgers elsewhere. I think there was probably about 10 French fries on my plate.... I didn't get the mayo I asked for with my burger, my friend didn't get his extra ranch he asked for, & it took moving mountains just to get refills on drinks. We left as soon as everyone finished their meal. This establishment still allows smoking inside. I began feeling ill because the cigarette smoke was overwhelming. I certainly will not return to TJ Mulligans. The service was bad & the smoking is a turn off.

I've been to a lot of bars in the Memphis area. I've even worked at a few. When I say that this is the WORST service I've ever had, that's saying a lot because I've had bad service a few times. We came here to watch game one of the Grizzlies-Spurs series of the Western Conference Finals. I've worked in bars when big games are going on (i.e. the Memphis-Kansas NCAA National Championship game a few years back) and the bar I worked at was standing-room only, and I saw better service at that game. No one had to wait more than 10 minutes for anything. I went with my boyfriend, who happens to be a regular and he wanted to go there, so I was okay with that and we sat at the bar. As I continue, bear in mind the bar wasn't particularly busy. The bartender, Amber, was the worst server I've seen, much less had. Boyfriend ordered a bucket of Coors and I had to wait 10 minutes for my pint of Guinness. I know it takes some time to pour from the tap, so I was cool with overlooking that. Then I ordered food. Boom Boom chicken was pretty good. Came out in acceptable time as well. Here's where I have a problem. I finished my Guinness and it took her like 15 minutes to get back to me, at which time I ordered an Angry Orchard. Took a few minutes to get back to me, and I didn't take too long with that one. But it took her a while after that to get back to me. Definition of a while for this wait is 30 minutes, PLUS however long I was outside because I was getting upset, during which time my boyfriend ordered my second Angry Orchard. I later asked how long I was outside and he estimated it was 10 minutes, so total 40 minutes. About 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter I asked for MY tab, as I'd had enough and I didn't want him tipping her on my behalf. I even told my boyfriend that from here on out, if he wants to come here, he will do so without me because you couldn't pay me to come here again. My tab was $22.59. I usually tip well, and even the worst of servers get the base 15%. She got a penny simply because I wanted to round out the tab. I didn't even wait for my boyfriend to tab out because I just wanted out of there so badly. Service like this is inexcusable.
