HER ATTITUDE WAS UPLIFTING & PLEASANT. KEEP CHECKING BACK WITH US AFTER FOOD DEL'D AND ASKED ABOUT COCKTAILS REFILLS. HER SMILE WAS CONTAGIOUS. WHAT A DELIGHTFUL EXPERICENCE TO HAVE HER AS OUR SERVER. HATS OFF TO MICHELLE!!!! LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE OF OLE RED TOO“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Nashville—food and vibes are so good!! Shoutout to Ari for being the best waitress ever!“

“Excellent food and service! The chefs are artist. ❤️“

“Riley S. was awesome for our family birthday party. There were 11 of us...5 were children so there was a lot going on. Riley S. was beyond patient with us and prompt with our drink and food orders. She made the outing fun for all!“

“Barrel Proof is the best place to go for an amazing liquor selection, delicious food, fantastic staff, and great community. There are no strangers, just friends you haven’t met yet. I’ve brought friends, met work colleagues there, and it’s just as fun going solo and talking to new people. If you see me there, say hi!“

“loved the venue. Ill definitely be visiting again soon“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great music!!“

“Live music with great food, drinks, & service!“

“The bartender tonight was amazing. I had a great chat with him, and it seems he's leaving to a new adventure soon. Not great for this place, since he has a real passion for what he does, and I think they're losing a great guy. Best of luck on your new adventures! Food was about as expected, not the drinks were phenomenal!“

“This is our absolute favorite place to visit when in Nashville. Our server, Destiny, is the best! Being from Eastern Europe, it just adds to the ambience of the experience. As soon as you walk into the door you are transported to Europe. The smells engulf you, as you walk by the most amazing dessert display. Do NOT pass up dessert! They have the most extensive coffee menu I have ever seen. If you’re looking for hair of the dog, you can add alcohol! We have never had anything bad here, every bite is divine! I highly recommend the Mexican hot chocolate, the avocado toast, and the rosemary potatoes (we dream of these).“

“Loved this place! My friend who lives in Nashville took me here. The menu was awesome, loved the speak easy vibes. Great staff. My bacon old fashioned was to die for. I wish I had this place close to home! Would go again and again“

“We meet here to watch Premier League games. They have amazing food and great drinks and you can't find a better staff anywhere in town!“

“Tori is amazing always knows who I am and what I’ll ask for!!“

“I love this space, the drinks and was very well taken care of by Emory. I highly recommend Greenhouse Bar for a group or intimate outing.“

“LOVED this bar. the staff working the night I went were so friendly. The decor was beautiful and the vibe was amazing. I wish there were more bars like this where I'm from. 10/10 recommend!! Few months later and im still talking about this place“

“I am so happy I found Two Hands. The food here is so delicious and very fresh and flavorful. The portions are pretty big. We ordered the mushroom bowl with added salmon and my boyfriend ordered the burger with fries. We wanted to come back immediately for dinner. They also have locations in Denver.“

“Super sweet attentive and fun bartenders that make the whole experience. Stevie Rayni and Tara are the best!! Great prices, great drink menu, very fun vibe. Small town vibe with big Live Band Broadway local experience. Highly recommend.“

“The Honky Tonk Hideaway Elf/xmas pop up bar in Nashville is a full-force holiday experience! The Xmas spirit is floor to ceiling, wall to wall! Great cocktails and reasonable prices. Fast service. The energy stays high from the moment you walk in. Tvs hitting all the major games.

The extras set it apart. A mechanical bull. A hat-making station. A merch section. And a FREE bus tour that takes you downtown.

Bottom line. Come on in!!

“We happened upon this great bar our last day in Nashville and wish we would have found it sooner! Great place and Kyle was great! We will be back!!“

“A beautiful cocktail bar with great food too! Service was great!“

“Yall….Tristan and Bri took the BEST care of us. I asked them about the speak easy and some
Other things (I watched the show about the making of the bar and I am the BIGGEST Garth and Trisha fan) and they immediately were like “you know what, we can give you a private tour” Tristan told us all the cool back stories of things and let us explore. It was MAGICAL and fun. Also our bartender at the tiki bar, Nick, was so fun and friendly too. Really made our experience so special and so cool. Thank you guys so much.“

“The best safe place for all of the LGBTQ+ peeps and introverts and extroverts safe too.“

“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.“

“I came by last week and sat at the bar. My bartender Kelly was everything you could ask for and more. She was super attentive, her drinks tasted amazing, and her conversation was so refreshing, as the bartenders on Broadway all seem miserable. It was good to see such a bright light in the industry here in town. I had the pepperoni pizza and was very pleased. Just enough crunch and plenty of cheese. Service 10/10 food 8/10. Will definitely be back because of Kelly!“

“Cannot say enough great things about this bar! The food and service are always top-notch and consistently great. Huge shoutout to Jen, Jill, Ryan, and Q for always taking such good care of me, my friends, and my family. Y’all truly make this place feel like home.

The only thing I’d love to see improve is the music. As someone who frequents the bar pretty often, I’ve noticed the playlist has gotten a little repetitive, with a lot of the same songs coming back around. I’d love to hear a little more variety—different genres, throwback nights, etc.

Overall still my favorite dive bar in town! ♥♥“

“Wow! What a delight! This space is gorgeous! The food was fresh, artfully plated and incredibly tasty! Our favorite part of it all though was the hospitality we experienced with the staff! Sydney and Ally were such a delight! You could tell they loved their jobs and they loved ensuring that their guests enjoyed their entire experience! I love a good coffee and Sydney asked if she could make a recommendation- I was so excited to give whatever she made a try! Oooohhh la la the Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Latte was EXCEPTIONAL!!!! Thank you ladies for making our stay in Nashville even MORE delightful by meeting you!!!“

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

“Brooke was pretty phenomenal as a bartender yesterday! Thank you, Ma’am!!!“

“This is my favorite little hang in town“

“Best listening room I’ve been to in Nashville. People here appreciate and listen and don’t talk. So Good👊“

“We definitely enjoyed our stay! The roof top bar was amazing. I had the best experience with Tyson up there. He was so kind and knowledgeable.“

“The arcade games were super fun. We spent over 2 hours here. These are older arcade games; not the new games. We did not eat and we did not have any drinks. We only played arcade games and had a great time. Majority of the games were 25 cents per play.“

“What a beautiful hidden gem! My husband and I have been here a couple of times and our last time we went was so wonderful. It’s a relaxed vibe that is also very well put together so you can come dressed up or in relaxed clothing and you’ll fit right in either way. We both got sake flights and oh my goodness- each flavor was phenomenal! My favorites were the Cloud Palace and the Gunma(I apologize if I spelled that wrong). Not only were the drinks delicious, the service was top notch- Noah was very knowledgeable and friendly to chat with! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax after work or have a quite date night.“

“Joseph was absolutely incredible. My friend and I asked for some obscure cocktails, and Joseph more than delivered. Not only did he deliver amazing drinks, he went above and beyond with his service. I recommend asking for a Trinidad sour, but with rye whiskey as the spirit- thank you Joesph for the recommendation!“

“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.“

“Went last night. They were slammed. Had to wait a while. Didn’t mind at all. The vibe here is always on point. Friendly staff and great food. My wife and I love their happy hour and outdoor seating. I’m so happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood.“

“Ride with Tanya and your guaranteed to have a good time“

“Good food, live music, and appropriate atmosphere for the whole family to have lunch.“

“If you see this review, come here because you found what you were looking for.
I’ve never had mead before, but was always curious about it. The flavors in their menu were all distinct and diverse in flavor (moreso than wine or beer), and free samples were provided for anything we were curious about. Plus the knowledge of Navi who was behind the bar was extensive. The atmosphere inside allows yourself to truly have a great experience.“

“• The Vibe: Efficient. Warm. 5-Star Service. • The Miss: Alfredo was too light. (Nothing beats Nana's). • The Hit: Scallops & Risotto were perfect. • The MVP: The desserts stole the show.“

“Well. Julie & I Love To Drinks At Four Walls In Nashville. We Like Drink Waters.“

“Great burgers and the mayo with caramelized onions was amazing!! Highly recommend it if you come to Nashville!“

“Absolutely love this place! So much effort and art goes into the food they prepare. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!“

“Will never go to nashville again without stopping here! This is the best burger I have ever ate! Dim, cozy lighting. 80’s tunes playing in the background. It was truly like stepping back in time. We went on a thursday night, food came out so fast. I will say not really a spot for socializing and meeting people though. Definitely a great time nonetheless.“

“Had an awesome time with friends. It was great really look forward to doing it again.“

“Love this place!!! Visit it every time we get to Nashville, 12 south. Great service and amazing staff.“

“…1-2-3-4……take the elevator. So many good things here. Don’t mention it.“

“The food was spectacular for this wine paired dinner. And…”the man” was in the house!“

“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.“

“Amazingly surprising to anyone who is adventurous and it has an throw back theme that creates a vibe that's indescribable! Great place and people. Your going to talk about this place for years to come.“
