Step into Bog & Barley, and you feel like you’ve left Memphis and entered a pub in Dublin.
Bog & Barley comes to us from DJ Naylor, who also owns Cooper-Young’s Celtic Crossing Irish Pub. The 7,100-square-foot Bob & Barley opened in 2023 in East Memphis’ Regalia Shopping Center, and the restaurant and bar offers an elevated pub experience. Everything guests see — booths, tables, chairs, bars — was sourced from Ireland.
