This is a great addition to Nashville Yards! I have been saying for years how strange it is that we didn't have a movie theater/entertainment center like this anywhere in Nashville ... and I'm happy to report that Hooky fills that gap perfectly. My husband and I purchased movie tickets through Fandango to see the new Toy Story here. I saw on their website that they validate parking for up to four hours in the Nashville East garage, and thank goodness that they do! I couldn't imagine spending any more money on parking after purchasing two movie tickets for nearly $60 (including fees). However, you get what you pay for, as their movie theaters are beautiful and brand new, with fun loveseat-like couch seats and full service dining. Concession prices were pretty standard, and I love that the popcorn is bottomless, so you can get a refill halfway through the movie if you want! I do wish that you could just place the order through the QR code rather than just requesting a server ... it seems like it would flow more smoothly for everyone if that were the case. We also got an Oreo shake with our popcorn, which was utterly delicious! Note that there is no regular concession stand - you must order popcorn and snacks (or a full meal) through a theater server. Regular rules do kind of go out the window with these full service dining theaters. The woman a few seats down from us was shining her flashlight at her menu for the first 15 minutes of the movie, and it was so annoying! She did it periodically throughout the movie as well. I'm not sure what Hooky could do to curtail this, as I'm sure they want people to order food throughout the movie, so I'll just say moviewatcher beware! The couch seats were comfortable, albeit a little awkward. I really wish they reclined! The audio and visuals were great - we opted for the SDX theater, and it did not disappoint. We didn't get a chance to check out any of the other games on-site, or the full bar available, but we did note their awesome happy hour deals. I am sure we'll be back soon! read more

Was really looking forward to finally having a clean comfortable upscale movie theater in Nashville and was pretty disappointed. The only real positive was that it's new and they're keeping it clean. So at least a step up from the sticky floors of every other movie house we've visited in the Nashville area. They were having problems with the HVAC and the entire center was uncomfortably hot. The seating is mostly love seats, large enough for two. But the seats don't recline and they've chosen to use cloth instead of leather. The seats are already not particularly comfortable, and it feels like they'll get old and worn out pretty quickly. Wonder why they went with the cheaper approach. They do offer food and drink service to the movie seats. You scan a QR code that goes through a "check out" process that's actually just requesting a wait person visit and take your order. Pretty unusual and underwhelming for an established chain. The "table" attached to each seat is very small, just enough to hold a drink and a small plate. The menu, which is the same menu provided in the bar, is typical bar food and not designed for eating in a dark theater. There are very few items other than the drinks that you'd be tempted to try in the dark. The front door of Hooky is out to a two lane major downtown street with no access for ride shares to pull over and drop you off or pick you up. Huge oversight, they must imagine all their customers are walk ups or parking in nearby garages. We're a bit spoiled by previously living in areas with iPic theaters, and were hoping Hooky might provide an iPic like experience. It's a small step in that direction, but clearly with a lower budget and a less experienced design team. I expect we may give them one more try, after the place has a chance to burn in and get their rhythm, particularly if there's a combination of a good movie and a reservation at an adjacent restaurant like Ocean Prime. But our expectations are going to be fairly low. read more

I have never felt the need to write a bad review of a place until I came here. I came with a group of friends to bowl, and while the bowling was fun, the service was absolutely horrendous and truly the worst I have ever experienced anywhere. We arrived during Happy Hour and wanted to take advantage of the Happy Hour prices. When we arrived, my group walked over to the bar to order. The bartender informed us that we have a server over at the bowling alley and he didn't want to take away money from the servers, which was very kind and thoughtful. We return to our bowling lane and click the button on the tablet screen asking for service (which lights up the TV letting everyone in vicinity and lets every server walking by see, it's very hard to miss). Several minutes go by, no server appears. One of my friends eventually has to flag down someone, who tells us that while he is not a server, he can help us and take our order. He starts to take our order and is utterly clueless as to how the machine he has in his hands to take our order works. He takes so long to take my friend's order of 1 drink that I walk back over to the bar and order there. It has been at least 15 minutes at this point and getting to the end of the Happy Hour prices. I let the bar know my order and that we still have not been helped by a true server. When I return after receiving my order at the bar, that same individual is still taking my friend's orders and has not gone to find a real server for us. The orders are eventually put in and their food comes out. One friend walks up to the bar to order a few minutes later and the bar explained to her that we couldn't keep ordering at the bar, to which she told them that we still haven't had a true server come by. 15 minutes after that interaction, a real server finally approaches us after most of us have already received our orders from various other places. She explains that they had an event earlier and there was a mix up in who supposed to be serving the bowling lanes. Mind you, the event was over before we even arrived and it had been well over 45 minutes we had been there, if not longer by the time this server had come over. One of my friend places an order with her. When that order comes out (not by our server but another individual), it is wrong. My friend explains it not what she ordered and that individual says completely nothing and walks away with the incorrect order. 20 minutes later her correct order eventually arrives. We saw our server exactly one time after that. Every single employee I encountered acted like it was their first day on the job and possibly on Planet Earth. Nobody had a single clue what was going on or what they were doing. This kind of service makes me never want to return. It doesn't matter to me if someone is new or still learning the job. We all start somewhere, but after multiple times of telling other people that we were not being helped it became incredibly frustrating. Multiple employees and staff were around yet no one seemed inclined to help us or find someone who could. The food and drinks were good, if overpriced, and the bowling was fun, but the lack of attention to service when you have customers who are eager and willing to order makes me never want to return or recommend this place when I know of other similar places in Nashville with much better service. read more

Glad to see family friendly places for Nashville. Hooky a newer arcade, bowling, and movie theater entertainment. Almost like a mini Dave and buster type of place. Bar area for adults to enjoy while the kids go off and play. Parking garage they do validates it for parking. Very nice new place to check out. read more

OMG !. My Daughter and I had so much fun last night at the new place in Nashville called Hooky's! We played all the games, watched the movie & Super Mario, we ate and drink while being served all inside the sofa type seating area. Now a few games didn't work and I wasn't too fond of the Hooky Frito Pie but they've only been open 2 days so that was okay and the Manager made sure to give me a refund. We will be back again soon to try the bowling! read more

Drove up to Nashville for an office event at Hooky Nashville Yards. We had the setup, food, drinks, bowling, games,. We had a good time but it was hot. Their air was not working and that was a bummer. It was 20 degrees cooler outside (raining, overcast, about 75 degrees) We had a great mix of food. Wings, chicken breast bites, salad fixins, chips, chili and salsa, pizzas, and pretzel sticks with cheese dip. It was all good. (Just so hot) It was fun. Management did give us some movie passes and a discount. Ill be back. (Hopefully the air will be fixed) read more

This was succchhhh an awful experience. First of all - the AC felt like it wasn't on when we walked into our theater room. Second - the trays of food they serve you on don't even fit on the trays attached to your seats. They cover your cup holder and you can't even fit everything! Also - the seats are not arranged at a stadium angle, so your neck up at an awful angle the entire time. ALSO - for the price of our food + our tickets - it came out to about 4 months of our AMC stubs A-list membership. I'll probably never be returning! read more

Great spot but unfortunately I put my bag down for a minute and someone took it so be careful of your belongings while there

First time here with my three grandchildren that are 11 years we had a really great time. Just a shout out to John. You were amazing and so helpful thank you. The staff is very kind and the place is super clean. Thank you. read more

A jumbled concept that does no one thing well. The movies are overpriced and the seats are very uncomfortable. Stay away.
