As its name would suggest, Memphis’s University District is home to the city’s largest institution of higher learning, The University of Memphis.
The neighborhood’s main drag, known as the Highland Strip, is where locals gather to enjoy nightlife and a variety of dining options. The Memphis Country Club is also located nearby.
College-town character defines the University District, where students and faculty flock to distinctive bars, eateries and coffee shops with plenty of backstory, like Brother Juniper’s diner, a community-focused favorite that also runs a baking apprenticeship program for at-risk youth.
