A couple of food vendors were available on site along with 6 - 7 home brewers on Friday night offering samples of their brews while Saturday brought in about 10 - 12 local breweries. About 10 bands play on Friday night and Sat all day offering a various selection of rock, jam band, hip hop, country and folk.

The 19th Hole has been completely renovated and has an open, updated look. This is a far cry from the typical hot dog you can get at a golf course- here you can invite your entire family to join you after a round and there is something for everyone! Service is fast and friendly, food is tasty. Also a great option for those Sundays when hotels empty out in Nashville and every restaurant in town has an hour wait. You'll be back before that table opens up! Remember to tip for good service and check out the pro shop on the way out for a memento!

We discovered we really liked their bistro sauce, great dipping sauce for the onion rings or your tender loin. They don't make it in house, it's Ken's steak house brand.

The inside is warm and friendly, it would be fun to be here in the fall/winter with the fireplace going.

The area was well maintained, and had a nice outdoor space to sit. We all ordered one drink each- with the price of how expensive the drinks were, it was hard to have multiple. I will say- I am not a craft guy, nor a whisky guy, but was along for the ride. I had a Bahama mama cocktail- it was strong, but not overpowering. Would try again in the future when returning for food and possibly a tour. Overall, drinks and the ground were great, but the price of the cocktail kept me from staying too long.

Our tour included basic bourbon making, and a tasting in the distilling area. Full bar with signature cocktails, if you're going in town to big woods you might find the same cocktails at a lower price?! Our favorite was the sweat mash bourbon. They are planning on having some bourbon aged in white oak barrels from wood harvested from the distillery grounds. Pro tip if you are the first tour of the day, the visitor center did not open before the "start" time of the tour.

Just a note that it was a bit chilly inside due to the AC being on. I take a long sleeved shirt everywhere in the summer, so I was fine but I did see others who were quite chilly.

We love that they walk you through all the ingredients and even give you recipe cards so you can try to make it at home. Somehow it's never quite the same when we make it ourselves, which is exactly why we keep coming back to enjoy it firsthand. We've also done the tour multiple times, and it's always a great experience--very informative and well done. The tastings along the way are a lot of fun and just add to the overall experience. Great drinks, great staff, and always worth the stop.

When people think of whiskey in Indiana's Brown County, they might think of that other place. (You…read moreknow the one.) But there is another distillery quietly making small-batch, high-quality spirits in Nashville, and that's Bear Wallow Distillery. Located just outside of downtown Nashville, Bear Wallow Distillery is one of the only female-owned distilleries in the country. They create their spirits in a traditional copper pot still, which I learned is unique. Inside the tasting room, you can enjoy a whiskey tasting or a flight, or sip a craft cocktail and relax in the shop. I chose to enjoy a "Call Me Old Fashioned" standing up at the bar, while chatting with the guy who made me my drink. My Old Fashioned was well balanced, not too sweet and made me feel all warm inside, as a good Old Fashioned should. Those who are interested in learning more about the whiskey-making craft can go on a Farm-to-Fifth Tour, which takes you behind the scenes to learn about the history of whiskey and see the full production process. I did, and I found it very informative! I had a new appreciation for the kind of whiskey and spirits they are making here at Bear Wallow Distillery. From the ingredients they choose to the barrels they use, they really put their foot in it, as they say. If you like whiskey, or just like to try local spirits, this is a good place to visit in Nashville.
