What Is DEMO

Sound is the
core product.

DEMO @ 898 is a fully licensed, capacity-controlled cocktail and vinyl listening lounge anchored in Cooper-Young — Midtown Memphis's most culturally resonant neighborhood.

This is not a bar with music. This is a listening institution where hospitality is the vehicle and the record is the architecture of every evening.

The room, rewarded.

$25 / Month · Full details revealed at opening.

Join The Society — $25/mo

Auto-renews monthly. Cancel anytime before renewal date. DEMO @ 898 is fully public. The Society rewards those who show up.

"The space remains fully public. The subscription simply deepens access for those who show up consistently."

The Listening Society is not a velvet rope. It is not exclusivity. It is a commitment between DEMO and the people who make the room what it is — the regulars, the culture-seekers, the ones who come back.


Subscribers receive extended happy hour windows, monthly recognition, priority access to sold-out events, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing the best seat in the house is never far from reach.


DEMO @ 898 is not a members-only venue. All guests are welcome during regular service hours and public programming.
