After finishing our tour at Nearest Green Distillery, a stop at Humble Baron was a must. You cannot visit the property without seeing the longest bar in the world, and it truly lived up to the hype. The bar is absolutely beautiful. The design is stunning, the game was on, and the music set the tone perfectly. The playlist was culture forward with hip hop, R&B, and soul, but not played at a party level. It was just loud enough to enjoy the music while still being able to relax and take in the space. Allisha took great care of us and was attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. For drinks, I ordered the French 95. I am usually a French 75 girl, but when in Tennessee, Tennessee whiskey is the obvious choice. The French 95 was delicious and very reasonably priced. For food, I ordered the smoked wings and fries, and both were excellent. The wings were a solid 10 out of 10 with great flavor, and the fries were just as good and paired perfectly with the drink. Overall, Humble Baron was an amazing experience. Between the atmosphere, music, service, drinks, and food, this is a place I will absolutely be returning to. read more

Food is amazing as always! They did cut the menu down a lot, and down to about 5-6 food items. But the fish and grits, burger is still amazing! read more

The ambiance is nice, I like it. It's a nice setup, it's comfortable and spacious. The service was really good, the young lady who served us was attentive, nice, respectful and pleasant. The food came out within a timely manner after ordering it, so that's good. As for the meals we had. I had the chicken and pancakes and my lady had the peach cobbler today. The chicken was cooked well but it was salty. The pancakes were too sweet. As for the other meal, was overall too sweet. read more

When they said the chef used to work with G Garvin, I got excited. And the taste of the food, made me happy. The restaurant is beautiful. Very different layout as it is literally a massive bar. You should be seen at all angles the way it twist and turns. And if there is a show on stage, you should have a view from just about anywhere. The service was a little eh, but they were polite. I think since it was less people, they used the time to train and restock. They actually reuse empty whiskey bottles to serve water, which impressed me. I thought the menu was going to be more elaborate, but less is more. They have ample options and perfected what is on the menu. My southern fried catfish was so good. Flavorful, hot, and crisp. My friends got the smash burger and said it was one of the best burgers they ever ate. We also tried the pecan cheesecake, so worth it. Taste a little, eat a little. It's a good time. read more

What a treat! They were not kidding when they said they have the longest bar in the world. Super cool! The place is a vibe! And this was just a regular lunch day. I can only imagine karaoke or live music night. The food...so good. I had a Baron Burger and Fish & Shrimp n grits. I especially liked the burger. To drink, I had the Longevity with peach. So good! Definitely recommend a visit! 10 out of 10! read more

Humble Baron was a 10/10 experience in every way! We stopped in for lunch after touring the distillery and were seated right away. The bar is HUGE - it's the longest bar in the world according to Guinness World Records. We enjoyed our cocktails, which are of course made with Uncle Nearest Whiskey. We did the Humble Baron Old Fashioned, and the Queen's Gambit. The Queen's Gambit really didn't taste like whiskey in any way, but I got a little floater on top which was good. Now, the food. The food was AMAZING! We had the smoked wings, catfish and grits, and the burger and fries. Dessert was also incredible - the pecan cheesecake with whiskey infused caramel - get it! read more

The staff here are very nice and welcoming. Very patient to have a conversation with first timers (tourist). I had the banana pudding great quantity for price just was too sweet for me but others may disagree really depends on your sugar tolerance. I also had the cornbread definitely taste different than what I'm used to but again it's your own personal preference. The quantity again was great for the price. I'm just used to some places you pay. More for smaller portions. And just the look of this place again just made well and it's beautiful. read more

Before the Nearest Green whiskey distillery tour, my dining companion and I enjoyed Sunday brunch at the Humble Baron which shares a part of the distillery property. It is a beautiful place with the world's longest bar that winds throughout the room. There are tables to sit at, but they appeared to be reserved for large parties. No matter, my dining companion and I sat at the bar. I recommend going to their website and getting a reservation. If there is a special event onsite, and that is frequent, you'll be able to rely on your reservation! The restaurant and distillery are about an hour's drive south of Nashville proper. So figure the drive time into your reservation and tour time. The food was excellent. My dining companion ordered the Sage brined chicken and waffles, which included two large whole wings and a very delicate waffle. A light dusting of powdered sugar added to the plate presentation. I ordered the Humble Baron Double Stack, 2 beef burger patties, cheddar, garlic aioli, bacon,arugula, on a potato roll. The burger also came with a generous portion of crispy french fries. We were taking the tour of the Nearest Green Distillery after brunch. And it was a good thing we enjoyed the meal first. The tour is about 1 1/2 hours and there is no refreshment until the whiskey tasting. It helped to have full stomachs at that point. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and the underlit bar just adds to the fine reserved character. I recommend the Humble Baron! read more

The Humble Baron is definitely the place for those smooth old school vibes. We went for brunch with a friend and we had a great time. We were able to easily make a reservation and there was no wait when we arrived. I liked how they spread everyone out instead of seating people on top of each other in an empty room. The volume on the music was just high enough for you to catch the tune but not lose touch of the conversation. The staff were excellent! They kept the water cups full, the tables clean, and were very attentive. The food, I had to take a star for the food. The peach cobbler French toast leaned too much on the sweetness of the brioche and I didn't get the fresh juicy taste as anticipated for a peach cobbler. I also think if they added a little crunch like make a walnut it would break up some of the softness from the bread being soaked in the "cobbler" and elevate the flavor profile of the dish. The hot chicken and pancakes were a little on the salty side. I also think the tenders were a little skinny for hard fry they had on them. This left more crackling crunch than meat. Additionally the table agreed the dish was a little too salty. read more

Visited the distillery for the first time today and after the tour we decided to have some cocktails at Humble Baron-the world's longest bar. Highly recommend the single barrel old fashion, humble baron old fashion and the rocking chair spritz.

Humble Baron - Fried catfish and grits with a side of sautéed summer squash. Delicious! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Shelbyville, Tennessee

Delicious Sunday brunch/lunch with friends. The inside is tastefully decorated for a distillery. They have tables for dining but they are known for their big bar that snakes around the large dimly lit room. Humble Baron boasts the largest bar in Tennessee. I highly recommend you RSVP if you want a table. The bar seating , while plentiful, is also now by reservation/hostess seating. We were seated promptly with no reservations. We had great seats to see /hear the awesome Tyronn Hamilton Jazz trio. The brunch menu includes many of the breakfast favorites chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, pancakes, etc. they also include an array of lunch items. All menu items were affordably priced. We ordered the burgers and catfish and grits. Both were delicious and tasty. They have a fully stocked bar and beverage menu that includes drinks with Uncle Nearest including the brunch favorite mimosa. The service was good. The food was great and entertainment was awesome. The parking is free and easy to access. Highly recommend HB read more

11/19/23: People this is a must dine whether or not you partake in the tour. The decor is sleek and subdued. It is the most unique designed I've seen. Basically one huge bar. Maybe the largest bar around. The food. Prior to the tour needed a little something I ordered the sautéed crab claws... people when I said this simple dish was life altering. It was the most succulent and juicy claws I ever tasted. It was soooo good I kept on wishing the tour would end so I can place another order. Yup once the tour was over I returned for another order. Now I'm not a whisky drinker but their drinks were delicious highly recommend. As we came on Sunday there was live gospel band. The staff, every one encountered so pleasant courteous and engaging. This hands down was one of the best little snack meal I've had. read more

Whew! What a lovely experience!! This bar seats 220 (I believe), and was quite impressive! From each bar seat, you had a front row seat to the stage. The staff was impeccable, everything was spotless clean, and the vibe was right!! The signature drinks were delightful, and the food was super yummy! I ordered the bananas foster french toast, and the flavors completely knocked my socks off! Delicious! A little underdone, so my bread was a little doughy, but that didn't stop me from cleaning my plate! The catfish and grits were cooked perfectly, but the grits lacked a punch of flavor. Still, that plate was taken away clean, too! I can't wait to come back!! read more

First time visiting. The place is beautiful. Craziest looking bar I've ever seen. I wanted the short rib ragout but they were sold out. So I ordered the smoked wings came with ranch and uncle nearest bbq sauce (so good) and truffle fries with garlic aioli, vegetarian burger. Drinks we ordered the queens gambit, humble Baron old fashioned, uncle nearest flight and jungle fly. Everything was delicious! The bartender was cool the music was so good I can't remember the band's name. Everything was so cool. Glad I finally got to visit, can't wait to go back. read more

I decided to review the bar separate from nearest green distillery, although it's part of it. I had such an awesome time with my distillery experience I didn't want to give them a bad review. You would have thought you stepped into a different location when entering this bar. The customer service was HORRIBLE! My family and I were trying to decide if we wanted to eat at the bar or the BBQ restaurant also at the distillery. We saw no hostess in sight a walked to the bar and asked for a menu. The bartender responded "I have 5 drinks to make. I'm the only bartender so I can't right now". I get it, they have the largest bar in the U.S., but that's no way to treat patrons. Her response was enough to know we didn't want t eat there! read more

Humble Baron - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Shelbyville, Tennessee

This is located on Uncle Nearest distillery, and is a bar/restaurant with live entertainment. It was memorial weekend, and bustling with customers. There were specials happening for food items for retired veterans and active military 25% off. It's awesome for that support! The hubs stepped away from the bar, so I placed an order of beer, one of their special drinks, and a love and whisky pecan cheesecake. The bartender needed a card on file, and stated that if I need to pay with cash later for check out it would be fine. Everyone was having a good time as conversation and drinks were flowing. The aesthetics of the place is beautiful! The decor, lighting, and ambiance made it welcoming. I wish we were able to stay longer to hear the entertainment. Now this is where my experience sort of went downhill. I understand seeing bartenders being overwhelmed at the bar. That's why it's always good to exercise patience and kindness. We had limited time, so when the drinks and cheesecake were placed on the counter, I did ask for the check. She said ok, but then went on to take more orders, and never came back. We waited a bit before I approached her again. I told her nicely I had to go, and would like to pay the check. She looked annoyed slammed the two glasses down, and went to the register, printed out the receipts, and gave it to me. I was confused, and said wow there's a lot of receipts. Her tone of voice was stern, and unwelcoming, and exclaimed one is for her, one for me, and the other is categorized. My husband and I were just taken aback with her attitude. She was not pleased having to do the military discount on the cheesecake, since she forgot to do it beforehand, and so she projected her frustration onto me. She gave a few dollars back to cover it which we just left in addition to adding more cash for her tip. I hate confrontation and felt uneasy, but still tipped 20 percent. That saying kill them with kindness even when they are not. The cheesecake was unbuuuhlievable. Get it!! This is my experience. Your experience may differ. I would definitely come back to this place, but ask for drinks and food from a different bartender. Went to barrel bbq and uncle nearest rye for their bottle of limited whisky! read more

The food was great. I would recommend the smash burger - I had it Baron styled. My husband had the chicken smoked wings. Both were prepared very well, seasoned perfectly and had a great taste Ambiance- wonderful- we were there on 10/4 early afternoon after our 2nd tour so it wasn't too crowded and we were lucky enough to see Fawn Weaver and get a photo with her - SWEET!! Our only complaint is our server- Jordan, she needs to be retrained. I gave a 4 star rating because of the food, the ambiance and that Fawn was so gracious which made up for the absolute horrible lack of service we got from Jordan. We were her ONLY customers, we sat DIRECTLY in front of her, she took our orders, served the drinks and that's about it. She NEVER checked on us, never asked if we needed more to drink, she stood several times in front applying lip gloss and on the phone, walked out and left the restaurant several times for long periods again neither before she left or upon her return asked if we needed anything. We asked for a manager, explained who offered free cheesecake (we declined) said something to Jordan, and she still ignored us. She saw we had long finished eating, empty glasses, nothing so I had to ask for the check which then she was in a hurry. Oh the only thing she did was take the picture of us with Fawn because she was asked by Fawn to do so. read more

Great food, ambiance, live music, friendly bartenders, and an executive chef who is humble, comes out to check on people, and even when he found i didn't get my waffle toppings, brought out a delicious tasting of bourbon candied yams! My oh my, chef Jay did his magic! read more

So this review is biased. Get over it. It was a wonderful experience. Allow me to explain why it is biased, what I thought about the food, service and ambience. Bias comes from several avenues. The bar is part of the Uncle Nearest TN Whiskey attraction. It is not a distillery, but they have barrels by the thousands. History here is great! I love the story of Nearest Greene and his association with Jack Daniels. This is a family run business descendant from Uncle. I also work with a husband to a direct descendant of Nearest. Enough of the bias and on to the bar! Oh wait. I need to say I visited when they were not very busy. At times, this world recording bar has had to turn people away. I disagree with the plaque outdoors that announces these are the best wings in Bedford County, TN. Limiting them to one county is an insult. These are possibly the best wings I have EVER eaten. This is saying a lot. I own a recipe of Buffalo wings from a bar in Buffalo, NY. Humble Baron wings are not like classic Buffalo wings, they are better. Many restaurants serve tiny wings coated in batter that is thicker than the meat. Nay, nay, I say here. These weMre the meatiest wings I've ever eaten. In fact, hungry as I was, eight were too many to eat. Each bite crunched through a wonderful fried skin. Then a wet sauce and dry rub completed a wonderful experience. They were so freshly cooked, steam rose for every wing, even down to the 7th of 8. Meat inside was tender. WOW! As I said, service was too good due to the low crowd. Every server had time to chat. I busy times, I doubt this could happen. In my opinion even if they were busy, I think they would display the same energy. it is a mea-bar, but the enclaves of horseshoes and curves make you feel as if you are in a neighborhood bar. Lighting is bright, but not overbearing. OK, let me review cost and value. It is expensive. Costs rival the upscale establishments in Nashville. But, the food is GREAT. It is worth it. Overall the food, service, ambiance and value are worth it. Go there. While this has not been a place on my "go to list", it is now. If I have to entertain myself or guests, I will opt for the drive here instead of Nashville. I will also pay more attention to the bands that perform. They may draw me in. read more

The brisket tacos are the best I've had, the fixings pair perfectly. This was a nice place to end after the tour to grab food and a drink. The bartender Gracie was really good, she let us know where we were in line next to order. The drinks she made were good and well made. The only setback I would say is that they don't have enough people behind the bar to take care of crowds. The people that work here were jumping in to help, they even jumped in to give us silverware and water to help. We were a group of 5, at one point we considered to leave because of the wait but because the bartender was so nice and stayed engaged with us until she could get to us we stayed! I was going to give and 3 star, however this five star review is based off of the tacos and Gracie! read more

The bartender Gracie was the best and took her time making each drink diligently. This is the best old-fashioned drink I've ever had. It is made with the smooth Uncle Ernest whiskey and hand-made surps, very smooth taste. The cons- wait time to place an order for drink/food with only a 3rd of a crowd was over 20mins it seam as-if there was 1 bartender versus what was needed. The catfish was over fried, and there was too much meal. It was too hard; therefore, we did not eat it. This is truly a 3 star, but I gave an additional star due to Gracie. read more

I'm a huge Uncle Nearest fan so imagine my delight when I found out they had the largest bar in the world and when I say largest I mean LARGEST!lol The bar is never-ending and truly cascades almost all of the square footage of the space. It's so unique and makes you feel like you are enjoying a drink with everyone. There are tables but I would suggest getting a reservation if you wish to be seated. I took my mother and best friend on Mother's Day and we were all pleasantly surprised by the experience. The food was amazing. I ordered the Banana's Foster French Toast and ate every single bite, do you hear me? I left nothing to chance. The addition of the bacon really takes this dish to the next level of goodness. The salty and crunchy texture really balances out this sweet breakfast dish. I am definitely a fan! My best friend ordered the Catfish and Grits while my mother order the Shrimp and Grits. What I loved about the grits was the flavor. Some people don't season the roux well enough but at HB you don't have to add a drop of S&P. They give you a lot of shrimp and they are a nice size so you will have a shrimp with every bite. I'm not going to lie I thought the catfish was going to be my least favorite because it was not fried but instead blackened. But it was delicious. Now, I am used to a thicker consistency grit but this was a great dish, as well. Why is this not a 5 star experience you ask? It was freezing inside the venue. I mean, I had on a blue jean jacket and was chilled to the bone. I couldn't wait to go outside to thaw out. And the entertainment was subpar. There was a band of a piano and bass plater along with a jazz/gospel singer and they didn't give that they had played together before. The energy was lack luster and the singer just wasn't my cup of tea. BUT the Sunday Brunch playlist was a hit! I will definitely be back to enjoy some more good food and of course libation! read more

As soon as we pulled on to the grounds of the restaurant we loved it! It' is a well kept establishment and we really enjoyed the history upon entrance. We attended the Sunday brunch and Wesley was our server and did a great job with recommendations! Food was delicious and brought out promptly. The only complaint I have was it being a gospel brunch! The musician they chose for June 2nd was talented. Would have loved to hear her play jazz on the sax. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the genre of music which is heavily geared towards a certain population of folk (Afro-spiritual music). I would consider returning for the food again but the entertainment lineup in the worlds longest bar needs help and that's coming from what this marketing woman can see.

Drove over an hour (to enjoy the 'largest bar in the world') to learn (after we parked and walked to the door) that they were 'closed for a private event'. No indication of this on their website, and no indication of this at the entrance. The individual at the door was dismissive and unapologetic. I feel this should have been posted on a sign at the entrance so we needn't waste our time. There are many other places to get a drink, I won't be back. read more
