An exciting and comprehensive dining and entertainment experience is getting ready to wow Memphis visitors in an unexpected but convenient location. 8D Rodeo Bar & Thrill, “a one-of-a-kind destination that combines Western excitement with Memphis soul”, is bringing food, fun, and even cinema to the Wolfchase Galleria, and it promises to become a major draw for the shopping center thanks to its unique and memorable vision.
8D Rodeo Bar & Thrill spent 10 years inviting guests to ““Ride. Dine. Unwind.” in the Oak Court Mall. Owner Tiffany Edwards generously made some time to speak to What Now Memphis about reviving the concept in its upcoming 2760 Germantown Parkway home, saying: “Wolfchase Galleria felt like the right place for the next chapter of 8D Rodeo Bar & Thrill. The energy, visibility, and variety of families, shoppers, young adults, and visitors made it a natural fit for our concept.”
Edwards is creating something truly singular with 8D Rodeo Bar & Thrill-an experience with something to offer every patron. She describes what future regulars can look forward to: “My vision is to create a one-of-a-kind destination that combines Western excitement with Memphis soul. Guests will be able to enjoy food and drinks, ride a supervised mechanical bull inside an inflatable safety arena, and experience our 12-seat 8D motion cinema, known as the Forbidden Mine™.”
8D Rodeo Bar & Thrill promises to live up to its name in every conceivable way, uniting an impressive array of influences under one roof. Edwards explains: “The atmosphere will blend Western décor, country and R&B music, sports, entertainment, and interactive experiences. We also plan to host birthday celebrations, private parties, corporate gatherings, and other special events.”
Visitors who come hungry can rest assured they won’t leave that way. Edwards offers this glimpse at the menu: “Our limited-service menu will center on familiar comfort foods such as wings, burgers, barbecue turkey sandwiches, barbecue turkey nachos, fries, corn dogs, funnel cakes and just all year round fair foods. The beverage menu will include favorable slushies, mocktails and signature cocktails inspired by the 8D Rodeo experience.”
Edwards and her team are currently moving through the permitting and build-out processes for 8D Rodeo Bar & Thrill’s 3,489 square foot space, making it difficult to estimate an opening date. Be sure to follow the concept’s progress on Facebook for updates.
Edwards envisions 8D Rodeo Bar & Thrill bridging generations and becoming a source of joy for its Memphis community. She sums up her hopes for the establishment eloquently, saying: “More than anything, I want guests to leave feeling that they had an unforgettable experience. My goal is to create a destination where people can make memories and return with their children—and eventually their children’s children.”
