We’re longtime regulars at Memphis, the OC-based restaurant in Costa Mesa and Santa Ana and their sister entertainment hubs including the live-music venue, Detroit Bar and Tin Lizzy Saloon (a gay friendly bar) in Costa Mesa. And we’re thrilled that Memphis is spreading the love (for when we visit) and for those who live in Manhattan Beach.
Memphis at the Beach is serving its signature down-home Southern foods and lighter contemporary classics made with fresh produce, premium seafood, and fine meats. Just one block from the pier, the new Memphis at the Beach is pretty green: eco-friendly furniture, wheat board paneling, a cork bar with recycled scrap metal top, low VOC paints, and LED lighting.
And good news for everyone! All three Memphis restaurants have added recession minded menu additions, on-going daily specials from bottom line BBQ dinners to half-off meat loaf nights, and early bird and late night Happy Hours to bottomless mimosas at brunch.
Memphis at the Beach is at 1142 Manhattan Ave. in Manhattan Beach. 310.545.5405; Memphis Santora is at 201 North Broadway (Artists Village) in Santa Ana. 714.564.1064. Memphis Café is at 2920 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa. 714.432.soul (7685).
