Absolutely love this place!I first headed over to Golden Pony for a special celebration event for an absolutely adorable Furever Friends Nashville's 10 year anniversary back in February. The atmosphere was amazing and the drinks... Don't even get me started.Since then I've dragged another friend there who absolutely also loved it as well. This is now my favorite bar to go to and there will be MANY more visits in the future.

Amazing margarita. Great vibe. We were there early with a group of 6 (around 7pm). Oversized booths mean you'll sit at the bar if you only have 2-3 people. The fries were not good, which was disappointing because the picture looked awesome. Sloppy Joe and whipped feta were good! Very loud live music started around 9pm which was fun but made it hard to talk to friends. I lost my voice and we left after 30 minutes of that.

My husband and I came to Golden Pony for Teacher's Pet Trivia and Game Night, but we'll be back! We arrived early, driving here after work and grabbing dinner. We sipped and grazed through the menu, enjoying the patio and the sweet pup whose owner sat nearby. The atmosphere was inviting inside and out, and the service was not only quick and friendly, but the recommendations were thoughtful and on point. We started with the spring whipped feta, accompanied by a daiquiri (off-menu) and Gotta Get Up stout. The whipped feta is accompanied by a rough chopped crunchy slaw/salad with a cashew-based dressing that offered different textures as well as delicious flavors. Something spicy was sprinkled on top of the feta, giving amazing cool/hot contrast. But the still-hot freshly made pita chips were the pièce de résistance! Next, we ordered the seasonal pizza boat. To be honest, my expectations weren't very high, but since it was sourdough with melty mozz and prosciutto, (among other things), I was willing to try it. Y'all. It was fabulous. It was the star of the night. My apple pear aqua fresca with bubbly arrived during this, and was a nice clean accompaniment. We finished up with a Caesar salad with a cashew-based vegan dressing that was surprisingly tasty, especially with the crispy-creamy contrast of the fried avocado. This was followed by the seasonal daiquiri, well-balanced and made with blackberry syrup instead of simple. I'm a sucker for a pretty drink in a coupe glass, but hubs agreed that it was something special. Trivia night was topped off by the tastiest espresso martini I've ever had! These are too often overly-sweet milkshake concoctions, but the espresso was forward, emphasized by a bit of rum. While the trivia night is what brought us (and we loved it!), we will be back for the restaurant itself!

I’m not much of a 5/5 reviewer bc there’s always a room for improvement, right? I guess, we all have to make a few exceptions occasionally. I visited them on a Super Bowl Sunday at 4pm when we were the only people there, so we got to interact with the staff members and get their recommendations on what food items to try etc. They told us that it’s pretty popping on Thursday nights with DJ and all. I can’t wait to go there again.I loved the ambiance of the place, the decor is chic and the food is delicious. I’ve always been telling my friends that more bars/cocktail lounges need to serve finger-sized food/bites so we can keep munching on it and I think finally someone listened and made sure their food is as good as their cocktails if not better.A Special shout-out to Garett who was attending our table. We all left at different times to go to various superbowl parties and he accommodated everyone tabbing out at different times.There’s a lot of parking in that area that’s shared by a few businesses in the complex and we easily found parking.We went to Flora+Fauna for brunch and stumbled upon this place to extend our party and hang out more and were all very thrilled to have found this place and left happy.

This stumbled upon gem, hidden near the exit of Ellington and Douglas, has every low-key vibe needed for a chill night. After being greeted by the moon lamp and extensive foliage in front, I knew I fell into the right place. The chicken tenders in hot honey are a must! Highly recommend letting the bartender choose your alcoholic journey for you! This vape-friendly, modern LGBTQIA+ should be on any person's radar. Highly recommend!

Golden Pony has a killer menu and immaculate vibes! So many gorgeous, delicious drinks to choose from and you can't go wrong with anything on their food menu. Prices are moderate so have no fear there. Lots of parking in their lot but the place itself can fill up quick so keep that in mind for the time you stop in. Service has always been great too!
Walking into the Golden Pony in Nashville, you're hit with an unmistakable vibe - it's all about the flash, less about the substance. They've got a lineup of cocktails - mules, espresso martinis, Palomas - all tagged at $13. It's a clear signal: profit over passion. Imagine a breakfast joint where everything, from your basic eggs and toast to a fancier bacon and cheese omelette, is bizarrely priced at $15. The inconsistency in value is staggering. Then there's the $13 sloppy Joe, a dish that hurls you back to school cafeteria days, accompanied by a $5 Chex mix - a snack that's more about nostalgia than culinary delight. For $18, it's a trip down memory lane, but maybe not one you'd want to take. Nashville seems to be embracing this trend - all style, no soul. The Golden Pony, with its stunning interior, could've been a beacon of craftsmanship. Instead, it feels like putting lipstick on a pig, dressing up mediocrity in a pretty package. In a city thriving with potential, it's a missed opportunity to celebrate what food and drink should be about - authenticity and quality.

Golden Pony is cute from the moment you pull up! They have a spacious, shared parking lot with the cocktail bar off to one side. The interior is beautiful with huge booths and some of the most comfortable barstools in Nashville! I had an espresso martini that was fantastic and a glass of their Spanish red wine. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were great with excellent recommendations. We had the hot honey toast (so good!!!), whipped feta and chicken. The whipped feta wasn't great but the others made up for it. Our bartender recommended cutting a piece of chicken and putting it in the hot honey toast and wow! It was delicious! I'll definitely be back, especially in the summer. Their outdoor areas look really nice.

Super cute place. Can be low key during the day, and lit at night, depending on the night. Good times.
