“Love Me (Bar)Tender” Pop-Up Experience for Elvis Week



Just in time for Elvis Week (Aug. 9-17), Memphis Tourism and Graceland have announced a fun, retro pop-up tour where Graceland’s iconic Jungle Room will take over a New York bar for only two days, October 5-6. The name? What else but “Love Me (Bar)Tender.”

The Jungle Room first made its debut in 1965 at Graceland, serving as a reminder of Elvis’ time in Hawaii, although Elvis and the Presleys simply knew and utilized the room as a den. Hawaii was one of Elvis’ favorite vacation spots, and this is reflected in the Jungle Room’s unique decor. As visitors to Graceland in Memphis can attest, the Jungle Room features an unforgettable green shag carpet covering the floor and ceiling, a rock waterfall, and of course, a lacquered tiki bar and matching furniture throughout the room.  New Yorkers can expect Instagrammable and TikTok-ready spaces, Elvis-themed cocktails, music from Memphis bands, and a photobooth.
