“Saw this pizza place recommended by XPLR.NASH recently and wanted to try it out….and I wasn’t disappointed! Cute place with indoor counter height seating plus outside seating. The vibe was great and the pizza was even better! Great whole pizza selections available and daily rotating lunch individual slice options too. The square pizza is made with focaccia bread and was perfect!!“

“Love this place! Awesome vinyl selection, beautiful atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed playing live here as well. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious food and great service! My husband and I had the brisket tacos and they were delicious! Best BBQ sauce I’ve ever had!“

“Rarely is the service and food five stars...unless you're at Kayne Prime! Top notch on all counts. Thomas, Amber and team were fantastic! We felt pampered. The steak melts like butter on the tongue.“

“The Authentique is a charming French wine bar nestled in the heart of East Nashville, where the warm hospitality of owners Philippine and Alexandre sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere, combined with top-tier customer service, creates a welcoming environment for guests. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!“

“From the Chicago area, friendly and helpful staff, DELICIOUS IPAS (crisp and hoppy) and walked in to them playing the Spongebob movie downstairs. Played Mario Kart on the switch with a beer in hand 5“

“I’m from New Orleans, Louisiana and this brisket here is fire 10 out of 10“

“Really neat brewery in the East Nashville area. The staff were so friendly and funny and we had a great time sitting at the bar chatting with them. The beers were delicious and it seems they rotate taps fairly often, which makes coming back all the more exciting knowing there will be some new brews to taste!“

“Had lunch there on 2/9/25, one of the best hamburgers I've ever had!!“

“On my way to broadway I got thirsty and found this place by coincidence. I never made it to broadway anymore haha! As a Dutch tourist I was warmly welcomed by the locals with nice chats all night and free beers. Great place, great selection of beers on tap and most of all: great people!“

“Love the Sandbar! Great vibe, employees are amazing and welcoming and drink's are made just right! Always love going here when I'm in town.“

“Good food and Great Beer. Oh and the stall is good as well. I can see me going back many more times.“

“Visited in 2023. We had to check out of our air bnb and had a few hours to kill before going to the airport to fly home, we ended up at nobles and they gave us great service, didn’t care that our suitcases took up space, and even gave us free tshirts. Place is awesome we felt right at home.“

“Great little shop with good food and drink and a wonderful music venue.“

“We really loved Southern Grist when we first found it. Great craft beers and a great food menu, but as of late, the food menu disappoints. Anyone can do burgers and beers. Bring back the chicken sandwich, bao buns and vinegar potatoes. Your menu made you unique now you’re just like everyone else.“

“This is our first stop when we come back to town. We were regulars before moving and everything from the drink selection (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and food offerings are not only absolutely delicious but great portions. As someone who also has to avoid gluten there are options as well which is wonderful! Hands down recommend.“

“Pretty good food, good staff, but the prices… eh, I think they can do better. Solidly overpriced. And not just a little bit. Not crazy high, but you’ll spend more here than the food is worth. We were just super hungry so we bit the bullet and paid the price anyway. I got the chicken strips and fries, and it was very delicious, and my wife said her burger was very good. If it wasn’t for the prices I’d definitely be coming back, but likely not unless they charge more reasonable fast food prices b/c that’s the vibe here. Fast food. Also, there was a guy that came in who reeked of cigarette smoke, which made it hard for me to breathe until he went to the other side of the restaurant.“

“Awesome place, full of character“

“We came in Wednesday night and the band was just setting up. We were greeted by a server named Matt who was outstanding! He seated us and asked us if we’d been there before. We were first timers to Nashville! He got our drinks, dinner and even gave us a list of places to visit in Nashville that were his favorites! He went above and beyond to make our experience amazing! Music was top notch, dinner and drinks were great, but our server made our night! Thank you Matt!!“

“This hotel was great. The rooms were very nice and clean. The Check in and valet was amazing. Gwen was amazing and had the best personalty and A++++ customer service. The breakfast was good and the hotel is within walking disatnce for alot of things.“

“Finally got a chance to try Jackalope at Trax. It was really good. It's a my top of the lust for local beers. Just wish my health was better so I could drink more. I felt great the next day. I did drink responsible. In other words I didn't drink a lot. It was smooth and crisp. I was lucky to get to try it and will try it again. Makes me wish I got in the micro brewing business years ago. Jackalope is here to stay and one of the micro brews I have ever tried. I was in the wholesale beer business for years and also in the bar business. If you haven't tried it, you need to. I had mine on tap with a chilled glass. That is my favorite way to drink beer. Also the bartender at Trax Tea Room knew how to poor draft beer.“

“What a lovely place, with an excellent staff! Great food too! Love the Cobb & spicy shrimp and pita. Love to try the seasonal cocktails and switch it up. Always a good time.“

“Best Burger I’ve eaten in a very long time!! The Burger was so good our table ordered some chicken wings to try & those were killer too! 5 ⭐️“

“This was the best burger I’ve ever had! We will definitely be back!!!!! The food was fresh and delicious 😋“

“I am not from the area, & the hotel clerk where I stayed highly recommended this burger place. Glad she did, quite possibly the best burger I've ever met 😆. service was top notch too!“

“Great food!! Great service!💚💚“

“Always a Highlight at BNA - Tennessee Brew Works

Every time I travel through Nashville, I make it a point to stop by Tennessee Brew Works-and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with super comfy bar stool seating that makes it easy to settle in whether you're grabbing a quick pint or hanging out for a bit.

The staff here are top-notch, and I have to give a special shoutout to Alex, who is an absolute gem of a bartender. Friendly, attentive, and always on point-Alex makes the experience even better.

This place has become a go-to for me several times a year, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend for anyone passing through!“

“Very nice place kind of like a dining hall with a lot of different options, and very good vibes. We got hotdogs and fries. The fries were amazing. Very very good. The hotdogs did not have too much flavor. It’s weird and a little too much bread and did not exceed our expectations. Very good quality and price overall for food.“

“Incredible environment and ambience with over 70 beers on tap. Food is reasonable and very good. Historic bar and with a great staff.“

“This is the best place on broadway to grab some really good food! They were so nice and accommodating! We had a party of 15 for a bachelorette trip. We were seated with no wait, the food was so delicious, and the staff was very friendly!“

“Amazing! We need one in Cookeville!“

“Man I had the time of my life at this place last night..me and my wife stopped by just to check it out and we loved everything about it..from the music drinks and the food was amazing..a lot of people says hattie b’s got the best chicken but lucky bastard saloon took the crown10/10“

“Great experience. Great food and amazing staff.“

“I like the place, the beer …very nice!“

“I went downtown looking for a good spot to grab some food and watch the game and the fight, and I’m so glad I found this place. We ran into a young lady who was super helpful ( can’t remember her name but she said we can call her nash100 ) she got us signed up for DraftKings and even made sure we got a table. She seated us with our waiter, Mikki, and both of them were incredibly kind, friendly, and patient very patient . They really made the whole experience enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“
