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

“It’s been a number of years since we frequented Kayne Prime due to a move out of state. Last night’s experience was excellent. We were celebrating my husband’s retirement and each staff member we encountered asked about it, congratulated him and took care to make it notable. You also upped your game with the cute goat cheese tarts and palette cleanser. Last night was truly an experience above the excellent meal you are known for. We are blessed to have dined in many high end restaurants and last night you especially rose to the top. Must shout out our server Matthew. He is so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Thank you for going above and beyond. It was a night and meal to remember!“

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

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

“Nashville's most Parisienne beer hole.“

“The chicken and sausage gumbo was to die for. I will definitely be back for more if I ever pass through the area again.“

“The food was great, the service was great, the place was clean. highly recommend“

“So very tasty!! The pork sandwich was delicious, the blackberry mint limeade was amazing and the gluten free chocolate chip cookie was perfect!“

“Yes!! The hostess Beverlyn welcomes you like you’re family and is amazing. Our server was informative and great! French onion burger was wonderful!!!“

“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! ♥♥“

“I have an amazing experience at Cheba Hut! Jenna is absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the event so enjoyable. The food is always incredible too; everything is fresh, flavorful, and served just right. From the first bite to the last, it is clear that they really care about quality and customer experience. Jenna and the team truly made this a five-star place—I can’t wait to come back every week. 😍“

“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.“

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

“Crazy Gnome Brewery was easily one of the highlights of our brewery road trip through Tennessee. The whole place has such a welcoming, laid-back feel, and everyone we met genuinely seemed passionate about what they’re doing.

Billy behind the bar was amazing — friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like regulars from the minute we sat down. Grayson was fantastic too and even included us in a light-struck beer experiment. I knew what a light-struck beer tasted like, but I never realized the reaction was tied to the hops or just how incredibly fast it can happen. Such a cool, unexpected learning experience and exactly the kind of thing that makes visiting a small brewery memorable.

I unfortunately forgot the name of the gentleman making the pizzas, but his passion for what he does was obvious, and the dough was absolutely phenomenal. Some seriously great pizza to go along with the beer.

Great beer, great pizza, and, most importantly, incredibly friendly people who clearly care about their craft. Crazy Gnome is exactly what I hope to find when stopping at a small local brewery. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“A friend and I stopped in on a Saturday recently and thought it was a really good brewery. They had a good selection of food…the Burger was very good. We sampled some beer flights of Jackalope Beer and also the Black Abbey, recently acquired by Jackalope. Beer was really good with lots of choices. They all tasted fresh and in line with the beer style. I wish I lived in Nashville as this would be a regular spot for me.“

“When I tell you absolutely delicious, OMG. The food has so much FLAVOR and the sides are from scratch. You must try this restaurant.“

“Will was an exceptional bartender; I lowkey spent more time talking to him than most of the people in my group.

We was very knowledgeable on all the beers, and he was very accommodating when my large party asked if we could change the channel to the FIFA game.

For me, Will was the bar. He is excellent, kind, and very patient too! I’m here on a vacation, but I can’t imagine coming here and him not be there.“

“Awesome place, full of character“

“LOVE Harding House! All the beers are crafted with such intentional detail, the staff is always welcoming, LGBTQ+ friendly, and the atmosphere has such a great vibe to it. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing! We need one in Cookeville!“

“first time here and the gentlemen was so nice . I asked for a French 75 , he stated he was out of the wine to make it but went out of his way to get it . That’s what I’m talking about . Hope to visit again when I have more time .“

“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.“

“Best BREAKFAST. 😮‍💨 mandatory stop before work.“

“Nobles does it's thing and does it right. It's a great Sports Bar on Five Points, where the competition isn't exactly light. The food is on point, with great home smoked options alongside burgers, sandwiches, and the standard grilled and fried fare. Good beer selection, lots of screens so you can see your game, and projectors upstairs and down for big ones. Evan and the team upstairs are fantastic, and it's on me that I can't name drop more as I'm greeted warmly every time I come, however long it's been.“

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

“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 ⭐️“

“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!“

“10/10 would drive to Nashville for this. I was in town visiting the bestie. We ended up here on a lark after she said "let's go here, I know this place." Funny servers, exceptional, exceptional food. OMG the special sauce. It was so good I got a burger and fries to go for later in the evening. Highly recommend the burger with Sriracha onions, bacon and blue cheese and the one with Guinness mushrooms and bacon. Both the regular and sweet potato fries are YUM! Did I mention that special sauce? Go here. Just do it. Now. Why are you still here? Delicious burgers are waiting. Get.“

“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.“

“Great experience. Great food and amazing staff.“

“The best jumbo chicken wings! Great atmosphere and a big Thank you to Julie for my new favorite drink! We will definitely be back 😊“

“Incredible service from Connor!
If you’re staying at the hotel, you absolutely have to stop by the bar and see Connor. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel completely welcome with awesome recommendations and a killer attitude. He’s incredibly attentive, fast, and knows exactly how to craft a great drink. Honestly, his hospitality alone made our stay in Nashville that much better. Cheers, Connor!“

“The food is delicious. My second time trying this company out.“

“Great day hanging out and service was awesome“

“Amazing friggen beer at the airport! I got the tall boy Sue and my wife got the Saison de Bois. Both were unique and amazing. The service was fast and efficient, we only had 8 minutes to boarding and were able to get our drinks and polish them off without having to pour them in the trash.“

“First of all Lauren the bartender was the best we have come across in Nashville 🙌🏼 super friendly, attentive and really informative about the area. We popped in for one drink but ended up staying for multiple…. Because of her!! Music and drink were also great would definitely recommend“

“Taylor at the BNA terminal C was very humorous and fast serving folks. a bright point of the day! thank you.“

“We have gone to the Bavarian Bierhaus since it opened. We always end up going for a birthday or holiday celebration. Our grandsons love the place on live music nights. It reminds us of the times when we lived in Germany.“

“Tiene muy buen servicio, buen sabor las comidas, recomendado al 100%😃“

“Had an amazing time! Food on the 3rd floor was fantastic and the staff were great. Will definitely go back again.“

“It was Fourth of July weekend. It was very busy and packed, but the lines were moving well. Make sure you dress correctly as a man which means a belt or at least no drawstrings. Other than that, the three stories were great each one not a different but amazing vibe. The rooftop with the DJ & rooftop club set up was legendary!
