So as a single girl in a new city I have been falling into the comfortable slump of staying home on…read morethe weekends tucked in bed with a good book in hand. In the spirit of getting out and making an effort to explore my new city I decided to find a place to go and enjoy a solo date night and grab a fancy drink. You know the vibes a Carrie Bradshaw moment but make it Nashville style. I found this place via instagram and read all the great reviews and decided to get out and try it. A cozy place tucked and hidden in the heart of east Nashville. It is somewhat hidden with a small parking area but I was fortunate enough to get parking right in front. I walked in and the decor is pops of red and black mixed with gold. The light is dim so it's a perfect date night spot or place to meet and have an intimate small group gathering. It wasn't busy and I enjoyed that there wasn't too many people. The vibes are relaxed and I was greeted right away. Checking out the menu I decided on a spicy margarita concoction with tajin. The bartender brought it out and it was the perfect blend of flavor, spice and alcohol. It was refreshing and sweet/spicy. Perfect. This place is the perfect solo date night spot or date spot with your special someone or catch up sessions with friends. I enjoyed sitting, sipping and writing this review. Solo dates can be daunting and being in a new city can be daunting as well but finding hidden gems like this make it worth while. There's a quote that I love and that's "if you never go you'll never know." Don't let this be a place youll never know... head to your date with this place. Head to Amsterdamian.

Fun, casual bar with a decent craft cocktail game hidden in an East Nashville strip mall. This spot…read moreis easy to miss - tucked in a somewhat unconventional strip next to the somewhat sketchy Z Mart gas, this spot is a great example of "looks from the outside can be deceiving." You step into a clean, medium fancy, and extremely well-decorated but still small bar with really casual vibes. There's a mix of bar-top and small tables/couches for seating, but because of the small size, this is ideal for a solo, a couple or a group of no more than 4. It was decorated for Christmas when i came but the normal vibe seems more European punk, and I love the purple-green lighting -- hope that's always around! I loved the ambiance in here, it's upbeat, you can tell the bartenders have regulars and are friendly to chat with, and overall feels like it's a fun spot, even just walking inside. I came solo for a nightcap after dinner and was able to walk in and grab a seat at the bar. Service was just two bartenders for the whole place (which was about 3/4 full), but they were both pretty quick in providing me a menu. The menu is pretty large - almost 4-5 pages purely of cocktails, but also a few options for wine, beer, NA and extremely light bites food (wouldn't plan on having a full meal here.) I opted for two drinks off their signature cocktails list: Dolce Inverno (pistachio liqueur, vodka) and the Smoke n' Cider (apple brandy, cinnamon, smoke). Both drinks were pretty enjoyable, particularly the Smoke n' Cider which had a nice presentation to smoke the drink and also just great flavor. I do think these seem on par with other cocktail spots in east, but maybe not my top tier craft cocktail spots overall for Nashville. Service was super friendly and I think I enjoy the vibes here even more than the actual drinks. Having a small private parking lot is a huge plus, because otherwise parking would be a bit difficult as there aren't many options for street parking near here. This would be an awesome spot to catch up with a friend or just people watch solo, and I'm certain to be back!

Unfortunately, both the original order and the replacement came out undercooked, actually still frozen in the middle, which was pretty wild. To their credit, they removed it from my bill and discounted my cocktail. Parking is also pretty rough. Overall, not the best experience, but my bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, which helped.

I had 4 meals including lunch and three of them were at Blackwood. Not just for convenience but it's that good. The Blackwood Burger was out of this world and I should mention I had it twice including today. A perfect compliment were the fries. Almost like a lite Beer Batter. Very crispy and very delicious. After living in California for so long I told James ( The Best Bartender/Server/ excellent Employee) I wish that I had an Avocado to put on it. That was my Big Back talking. I'm still thinking about those Fries. If your in California think nobody has better.and you hit the mark. Back to th Burger. My first night there I had a chance to meet the Chef, who is said to have done a complete overhaul of the Menu. As you can see from the picture everything was fresh. I also had a chance to taste their Wings which by this point I expected to be not but great. No disappointment there for sure. The Wings are Smoked than a lightly fried to a Crisp. None of those Pigeon Wings either. These were huge Wings and they were exceptional. I believe there are four flavors and got the BBQ Rub. I don't look forward per se to visiting offers for any particular thing othan business, but I'll be staying at this Delta by Marriott on futur visits. I want to also mention that the Hotel Staff is second to none as well. I don't usually say, "I had a great time" on Business trips, but it felt like going home.complete with a hot meal. Thank you to Delta and Blackwood by Marriott for helping make my trip as well as my work completion a success. If you just so happen to live by here it's worth a shot. By the way a tried a Cocktail today made by James and let me tell you that Black.Berry Smash was outstanding. It took me back to my Drink on a Norwegian Cruise trip with the family. I had a seat at the end of the Bar and the Black Berry Smashes kept coming. James turned out to be able to make the perfect drink as well. I'll be back for sure. Y'all Holla' atchaboy'.

We were greeted as soon as we arrived and led to our table. Our server showed up almost immediately for our drink orders which she returned with promptly. The menu has something for everyone and is challenging when you go in hungry as it all looks and sounds good. We had the calamari appetizer which was very good along with a tenderloin meatloaf special that had amazing flavor and texture. I'm not normally a meatloaf person, but this sounded interesting and met all expectations. We found room for dessert and it was outstanding as well. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an enjoyable and reasonably priced for the quality/ quantity meal. Overall, for the two of us our bill was $130 for 2 drinks each, an appetizer, a salad, a split meal and a dessert. Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed!@

I have visited this establishment many times (I've brought in people from out of town and I've…read moredined alone and with family) and have had amazing servers, Tory and Kemma, especially. Today I had a server with green hair--she never introduced herself: she's the server with the green hair. This server decided to ignore our table and talk to another table at length about Ireland, Scotland, her fiancé, etc. I had to wait approximately 15 minutes for my drink, which was in part due to the fact that she neglected us. I sat there with my hand raised as if I was in elementary school: the man who cleared away dishes looked at me sympathetically and other servers glanced at her and shook their heads as if this was commonplace for her. When I finally had to audibly say, "Excuse me", she acted as if doing her job was an inconvenience: the eye roll was inappropriate and rude, seeing as how I had to wait for so long. This happened again when we needed sweet tea refills. We were going to order more food to go, but the service made us want to leave: terrible service affects the restaurant's bottom line. I certainly hope this will never happen again and that I can continue to spend money at Darfon's. If not, I don't mind traveling elsewhere.

OK Speakeasy Creative VIBE!…read more Was my first time and wow did not expect this to be a moment of creating. This place is super moody from the entrance to the ordering of drinks. They will let you in- no need to knock! When the waiter comes over they will ask what is your vibe - what are your taste buds feelings like------ then will go & Create the magi of that note! My taste buds were feeling Tequila, mint, and not a lot of juice (not a fan too sweet drinks). They hit it right on the head with a China Ricky! 100/100 very delicious. Good atmosphere of intimate conversation and stimulating surroundings. I recommend a table if more than 3 people. Other than that the bar is very cool.

As you drive up the small hill towards the end of the road, you will see a one-way road leading to the entry automated double doors. Was here for a business trip and spend some time at the the indoor portion of the Fleetwood patio bar for breakfast. Quite impressed with the continental breakfast. The design and decor is very modern, a long quartz bar that seats 10, with Starbucks coffee (limited time frame), different juices, and even my favorite iced tea. Freshly made and delicious. The breakfast items has plenty including scrambled eggs, bagels, fruits, yogurt, sausage, bacons and more. Good selection and does not feel artificially made. Out of the many hotels I've stayed at, I have not experienced someone who serves you drinks at breakfasts. Yes, it costs; but most of the time in life, you get what you pay for. I'd especially like to recognize a staff member, Austin. He has worked here for over 3 years and is not only attentive, upbeat, and friendly. Do not be fooled by his young look, he is extremely good at what he does. Went out of his way to make a fresh badge of iced tea bc the current one was out and ensured the taste was good. One of the best bartenders/baristas/servers I've ever met. Amazing hotel. Because of Austin and the friendly staff, I will definitely return to this location in the future. Keep up the good work Fleetwood Patio Bar & DoubleTree Nashville BNA!

I'm surprised I didn't see this on the top reviews but I will share it -- MAKE A RESERVATION!…read more Okay - now that that's out of the way here is the good: 1 - If you're looking for a space in Nashville that makes incredible cocktails and where servers can help you go on a drink progression, this is your place. There are drinks that are refreshing/lighter and ones that are more spirit-centered. They also have small bites that are really excellent pairs to the drinks. 2 - It is very small. So if you feel like you'll land on a spot because someone popped in and just left, you might be out of luck. We were able to be seated because we came a little earlier, and I believe someone at the bar left earlier than anticipated. 3 - It's quite dark/moody. If you have a person who's weirded out by spaces like this, go somewhere else. If you can't read the menu in the darker/lower lit spaces, bring out your phone's flashlight. One thing that's GREAT about the menu is that they have it in contrasting colors (ie light paper and black ink) and the font is large. There was a spot that I went to recently where the lighting was very low and they used a dark tan font on manila colored paper. If the lighting was normal, it wouldn't have been a problem ... but in lower light, the lack of contrast was not helpful! 4 - The staff is really great. I know that I mentioned it before, but if you've ever been to places like The Aviary in Chicago or places like this, you'll feel that this is right in the same lane.
