Names & Faces Lounge Opens in Jackson

Terrance Patton, co-owner of record label 35*35 Entertainment, along with former NBA player Clarence Weatherspoon, opened a new restaurant in downtown Jackson called Names & Faces Lounge (224 E. Capitol St.) on March 1. Patton describes his establishment as a restaurant by day and lounge by night, designed as a hangout for the "grown, mature crowd" in Jackson.

"Think of this like a networking mixer that caters to people like teachers and parents," Patton told the Jackson Free Press. "It's small and intimate, and everything from the music, the food, the drinks and the service is meant to create this casual atmosphere with a friendly vibe."

The menu at Names & Faces includes burgers, po'boys, cheese steaks, nachos, quesadillas, wings, catfish, tacos and more. The lounge also offers daily happy hour specials from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with specials on well and top-shelf drinks, wine, appetizers and more.

Each day will have a different theme. On Mondays, happy hour features $5.50 margaritas. Tuesday is Tito's Taco Tuesday, which has specials on tacos and Tito's vodka. Wine Dine Wednesday is ladies night, where women get two-for-one glasses of wine and half-off appetizers. Ciroc Thursday features $7 Ciroc vodka, and Faces Friday includes two-for-one specials on most drinks and half-off appetizers for all customers.

"I want this to be like 'Cheers,' where everybody knows your name," Patton says. "We're not getting any younger, so it's nice to have a different kind of hangout spot than a club. This is a place where you can eat, hang out and then be on your way."

Names & Faces is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight, Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Customers can also call in orders before the restaurant opens starting at 9:30 a.m. For more information, call 601-955-5285 or find the business on Facebook.
