Savor international pub grub, unique craft cocktails, and live music at Downunder. Try The Burnout, a cocktail made with bourbon, Grand Marnier, ginger syrup, lemon juice, smoke, ginger/grapefruit bitters, and flamed orange. It pairs perfectly with their butter chicken, which is slow-roasted in a creamy ginger curry sauce and served with jasmine rice and garlic naan.

Tucked away in one of Downtown Tupelo's alleyways, under the soft glow of string lights, is Nautical Whimsey. A charming, local Italian restaurant, begin your evening with their signature Tupelo Martini before indulging in a perfectly cooked filet mignon. This tender cut of beef is beautifully complemented by a stuffed Italian baked potato, generously smothered in creamy Alfredo sauce and a blend of rich Italian cheeses.
Enjoy the lively atmosphere of Amsterdam Deli, complete with outdoor seating and live music. Pair the refreshing Jordan River cocktail, made with Tito's Vodka, champagne, lemon juice, and simple syrup, with their unique vegetarian offering, the Falastini Falafel. This flavorful "veggie burger" features a secret blend of spices, chickpeas, and fragrant herbs, served baked or fried on warm Naan bread with Tahini sauce, tomato, and cucumbers.
