About

The Downtown Tavern is kind of everything you need in a bar: neon light shining through the dark, beer and well drinks, and some great local acts laying down some licks. The tavern is also one of the few places to have yourself a night if you happen to find yourself in Jackson, Tennessee — often used by travelers as a stopgap halfway between Memphis and Nashville.

You can hear live music at the Tavern Monday through Saturday. There's a small menu with vegan food available and a variety of beers wide enough that you can easily get well and drunk without trying them all. The bar can get busy with locals and passers-through at the bookends of the week, but still pumps out good times all around, even with just two people running the whole show.
