Antwon Dorsey is a Memphis native who spent more than ten years in sales before he found his love and passion for bartending.
Antwon Dorsey founded Blackout The Bartender in 2026 in Memphis, Tennessee, with a simple idea: the bar sets the tone for the whole night. He works directly with every client, from the first taste-testing consultation to the last pour, and builds each menu around the people in the room. Whether it's a milestone celebration or a night with friends and family, big or small, Antwon and the Blackout team are there to make it one worth remembering.
His goal is simple: to create a beautiful experience at each and every event.
More than a bar
It's a statement.
Blackout the Bartender isn't just about drinks. It's about an experience that reflects your style, your vision and your moment. The bar sets the tone for the whole night, so it gets the same care as the venue, the food and the music.
- Built around your guest list. Every menu is sized to your crowd, so nothing runs out at hour two.
- Full mobile setup. Bar, ice, tools, glassware, garnish. Blackout arrives ready to pour.
- Responsible service. Every guest is carded and the bar is paced.
- One point of contact. You work with Antwon from first inquiry to load-out.
