“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.

“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.“

“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!“

“Ok, now this place is probably the most hip new age place where young people go to hang. I've been in many bars but never quite got the cool kid vibe until I sat foot in the place. This area has definitely changed since the past 5 years since I've been back in the areanto visit.“

“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 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.“

“Awesome place, full of character“

“Great food!! Great service!💚💚“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 ⭐️“

“Amazing! We need one in Cookeville!“

“Lucky Bastard Saloon is the place to be! The vibe is fantastic, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. Special shout out to the band Too Hot for Leather—they absolutely rocked the night and gave the atmosphere a full 5 stars! Their energy and performance took the experience to a whole new level. I can’t wait to go back for part 2 and enjoy another unforgettable night. Highly recommend this spot for a great time!“

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

“Staff was super friendly and quick. Food was really good. Son had wings that he devoured, daughter had chicken sandwich which she said was great, and I had tenders that were excellent. Fries were wonderful. Will definitely be back!“
