Blackberry Molasses & Patio is quietly stepping back into the spotlight on East Broadway in West Memphis, rolling out a refreshed outdoor patio and an updated menu, then celebrating the changes with a string of relaunch parties. The spot is promoting weekly Sunday relaunch events with doors at 3 p.m., plus additional spring gatherings in early May. Early perks include live DJs and a two-tacos-for-$5 special aimed at pulling in a late-season crowd that wants food, music, and a place to hang out.
Relaunch Parties, Patio Vibes, and DJ Supreme
As highlighted by Main Street West Memphis on Facebook, Blackberry Molasses has DJ Supreme lined up for the relaunch gatherings, giving the new patio some built-in soundtrack. The post also teases a Cinco de Mayo party on Tuesday, May 5, from 5 to 10 p.m. and a "Midweek Escape" on Wednesday, May 6, at 5:30 p.m., both folded into the push to reintroduce the patio and revamped menu.
Menu, Hours, and Where To Find It
According to Blackberry Molasses' website, the restaurant sits at 1014 East Broadway in West Memphis and describes its approach as "soul food with a twist," pairing plates with live music and late-night weekend hours. The site lists current opening times, a phone number for reservations, and details on the bar's "Blackberry Diamond" signature cocktail, so it is a smart stop to double-check hours before you make the trip.
What It Means For Downtown West Memphis
The relaunch lines up with the City of West Memphis' Main Street program, which has been pushing events and storefront activity to bring more evening life back to Broadway as part of a broader downtown revitalization effort. The city initiative spotlights local dining and arts, and regional coverage such as the Daily Memphian has already tagged Blackberry Molasses as a restaurant worth the drive. With an outdoor patio in play and regular music nights in the mix, the venue could help nudge more foot traffic onto the sidewalks as the weather warms up.
For the latest on event times and menu details, keep an eye on the listing from Main Street West Memphis on Facebook or the restaurant's official site before you head out. The initial announcement gives Sunday doors at 3 p.m. and the Cinco de Mayo celebration on Tuesday, May 5, from 5 to 10 p.m., although lineups and hours can shift as patio season settles in. If you are planning to drop by, it is worth a quick call or a scroll through the venue's feeds for any last-minute changes.
