35 Best Bar & Grill in Nashville

“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!“

“If we a A Lost Paddy in our area I would go there. This was a fun place to eat. Vanessa was helpful with our orders, and quite a charactern So friendly. She floated when she walked. So good at her job. Yes, you order from the bar. Who cares? Tuesday night we had entertainment. They were good. They said there would be entertainment thd next night also, though we didn't see any. We may have been early. The food wss great. Huge portions of tasty, fresh food.“

“This place is an absolute gem. I was visiting Nashville for a few days. I did all the “hot spots” and of course, all of them proved to be worth the hype. I found this place by accident. Sabell’s did not show up on a “search” engine, unfortunately!! What I found was nothing less than extraordinary. The staff is amazing, and the food is extremely flavorful. The energy is outstanding with a cozy feeling. The comfort of the surroundings Is similar to a park, with customers that brought their dogs to the outside area. The owners are following their dreams, and I wish them all the best. The culture they have developed, shows with every smile from employee to customer.“

“Awesome atmosphere loved every second of it.“

“Our first visit to Blue Moon Waterfront Grille was a pleasant surprise, especially considering we live nearby and didn't even know it was there! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and seated us immediately, which was great since we were all hungry. After placing our order, the food arrived incredibly fast, and it was clear that everything was prepared fresh. I ordered the catfish, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had—and I’ve eaten a lot of catfish! Our picky daughter even enjoyed her meal, which is always a challenge. The waterfront view made for a relaxing dining experience, and the music added a nice touch without being overwhelming. The outdoor seating gave us a beautiful view of the lake, adding to the overall ambiance. This spot has a charming "hidden gem" vibe, and we loved how it made us feel like we were far from the city, even though it’s right in our neighborhood. If you enjoy seafood, especially catfish, Blue Moon is a must-visit. The atmosphere, the food, and the service make it a restaurant worth returning to!“

“food and good food and watching the boats“

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

“As a day one Preds season ticket holder, Broadway Brewhouse has been my pregame meal spot for as long as I can remember ... decades. Very convenient and great selection of beers. However, tonight I was hit with the terrible news that the meal I order every visit, Pasta de Louisiane, has been axed from the menu. Now you've become just another bar and grill with nothing special on the menu 😞 Plastic cups, paper plates ... the Brewhouse just isn't the same. I'm sure I'll pop in periodically; but heading downtown early for my favorite meal before the Preds hit the ice is now a thing of the past. I realize that things change; but change sucks.“

“Had a blast here! Just moved back home and newly divorced. I needed a GNO and this was the perfect spot!“

“A fantastic bar, great music great staff. felt like a local bar back home in England. We visited every day we were in Nashville and hope to come back one day. So humbling to be honoured as a veteran in such a generous way. Thank you guys and a patch will be in the mail as soon as we get home. keep doing what you do 🫡🍻“

“Great cozy place! Yummy food!“

“Nashville wedding weekend. Craving a burger and Big Jimmy’s reviews caught my eye. Local joint with live music and great burgers! Staff were great. They have local Driskin ciders- perfect with the burger!! Def stop by when in Nashville!! We’ll be back!“

“Several weeks back we stopped into Roadside to taste their wings. I would be hosting a large event and was told their wings were the best in our area. Absolutely the best! We taste tested several other places and by far Roadside had the best! Wilton, the GM met with us and took us through the whole process of why they have the best wings. Wilton coordinated and executed everything that we discussed for the event perfectly!!Shout out to the cook, Fred! If you haven’t tried their wings before, you need to get down there and have some! You will not be disappointed.

“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.“

“Came here for game day vs chargers to meet a friend and I have to say everything was phenomenal! Mallory recommended the wings with hot honey on the side and a 4x4xblue cocktail that was so good. The vibe was so nice and I had an awesome time at BBU!!“

“🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 stars isn't enough. I just visited Nashville for the 1st time from Wisconsin and spent 5 days there. Stayed near the Opry. My new 2nd favorite place on earth is Music City (My #1 is Lambeau Field, Go Pack Go). The music, the people, the vibe... Music City is in my blood forever and I cannot wait to return. The best music I've heard anywhere in my life.“

“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.“

“We were in from Denmark and had a wonderful all-American bar experience there… very nice bartender and we had fun talking to the other guets .. just go there“

“Super fun bar although it did smell like diarrhea the first couple floors, and grown men in the VIP stealing cowboy hats off girls heads and refusing to give them back while security does nothing about it but shrug shoulders.“

“Amazing place to listen to quality music (and perform if you are a songwriter)!“

“Thank you to all the staff here at Copa! They are so polite and welcoming. The food here is absolutely AMAZING. Highly recommend!“

“This may be my new favorite place in E Nashville. I’m not able to imbibe for a minute and they didn’t have any NA beers. The bartender was super cool and mixed me up a mock tail and it was lovely. Super cool dive bar vibe and great people.While I was totally down with the mocktail, I’d love to see some NA beers show up in the cooler :)“

“Hands down, the sweetest people I have ever met. Serving up incredibly good food!“

“This place every once in awhile tries to resurface the veneer. But. There's a racist vibe in here that they sort of revel in. And... they'll ban you if you call them out on it. There's a weirdo vibe between the owners and their core group of regulars and the rest of the regular patrons. They sit at their own table and sneer at everybody they dont like. It's very uncomfortable if you're not of their particular wypipo vibe. There's much better bars in the 'hood. Drinks? Basic. Menu? Even more so and they're always out of everything. The only thing it has going for it is location.“

“Delicious food! Located inside Ford Ice Center and up the stairs. Great prices - we had the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and WOW - I wish it were bigger. So filled with spice and flavor - seasoned fries - just delicious! ? Service was so friendly & welcoming. Definitely an affordable and enjoyable place to stop in for a quick delicious bite! ?“

“I am not usually big on take out food however, I had a taste for some authentic Italian foods and Roma Pizza & Pasta located in Donelson area was just the place that served very well season chicken wings and soft & airy pizza. Definitely will order again and looking forward to sampling other foods fron their selective menu!“

“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“

“Adult night out with good friends we were visiting for a long weekend. They recommended and didn’t disappoint! Great food and atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back on our next trip!“

“🙂We went to 51 North Taproom for the Hot Chicken Week special. It was very good, very quick and the servers were very attentive. Loved the Kale Salad too!“

“Drove in from West GA last night and everyone was hungry. Food was awesome and the hospitality was 100 %. Thanks for having us , we'll definitely be back.“

“This place is very nice from the atmosphere that it has even down to the simple food and drinks they have. The bar is very doable if you are on budget or even if you just want to have small drink with your friends. I recommend this place especially if you havr a small group or small party. The staff was amazing by the way.“
