    Spacious dining area! Kind and efficient service. Most importantly, delicious food. Shrimp and Grits served with gouda cheese grits, could have served a bit more grits. Hot tea selection is rather limited. Overall, a nice experience and we will return!

    Such a great location with an excellent pub atmosphere. Was able to watch a basketball game while Connor took care of our food and drink. Excellent bartender! Food was delicious. We'll definitely be back

    the menu

    First impression... It's super confusing where to enter the restaurant. There was no distinctive entrance. The Sangria didn't have good flavor at all, but... there was enough liquor to make me enjoy the flavor the more I sipped, lol The meal was really flavorful! Great omelet and burger! The peaches not so much. They tasted like canned peaches just thrown in cinnamon and sugar. I feel like they could have grilled them first, or done anything to give them a little pizzazz. The staff was decently friendly, and the environment was calm and quiet.

    Asked for beef medallions medium well, and these are noticeably under. Brussels sprouts were great, though.

    I think this place has potential. Ordered takeout on a Wednesday night. The order had a lot of components, and they didn't miss anything. I don't like Brussels sprouts, and I can honestly say these were very good. The cheese grits were a let down. They were mealy. The worst part was my steak medallions were undercooked. I asked for medium well, and they were under. Another order asked for well done, and they were under. Not the end of the world but not great. The menu looks good, and I've heard good things from people who have eaten here in person. Id give it another chance.

    Mediterranean Salad with steak medallions WOW!

    We stopped in on a Friday afternoon for lunch. It's an interesting space with a ton of room and very open feeling, not jammed with tables that you have to negotiate your way around to get through the dining room. A few big tvs and lots of interesting decor and light fixtures, high ceilings and lots of brick and wood in an industrial but rustic way(?) Menu looks great with lots of interesting choices. The salads looked really good so I decided on a salad pretty quickly! My wife had one Of the burgers, which she let me take a bite of and was DELISH! My Mediterranean Salad with steak medallions was fantastic, as expected. It tasted as good as it looked! Server was a little slow to get started, must've been swamped with another table or something, but after "first contact", she was great and very attentive. Highly recommend this as a great option for real food in Cookeville.

    Great restaurant located in what used to be a factory. The food is really good. We had the smash burgers and duck tots. Both were prepared perfectly. Jesse, the bar tender, was great. He knows his business. Loved the ambiance, the cool bar and all the sports t.v.'s. We will definitely be back when in Cookeville.

    Fried green tomatoes and Gouda grits

    Pleasantly surprised with the service and food! I had the fried green tomatoes with Gouda grits and they were great! The service was on point - never intrusive and I noticed all the servers looked happy and having a good time. The beer menu changes regularly so you can always find something new and tasty!

    Wow. Amazing…read more Incredible kind and funny service. Also had guitar picks to take home which is cool for Nashville. Least favorite- empanadas (so crispy and would've loved if I got them first but they were last so we had tried way better ahead of time) super plain not much in the filling. -salmon (incredible and unlike any sashimi ive ever had so bright. My boyfriends favorite and he doesn't really like seafood) -broccolini- perfectly roasted and sauce added so much flavor. -Lomo- I don't love pork usually and this was incredible. So soft and tender and the sauces were so creamy and savory. -rellenos- wow. These are amazing I want a bowl of them and want to try to recreate. So creamy and fluffy and decadent and tangy and I think hit every flavor profile these were insane. - cheesecake. Eh. It was a good cheesecake. The Dulce de leche was good but didn't taste as unique as you'd think since it had black garlic. Wouldn't feel the need to get again. Forgot what the cocktail was called but it was amazing as well.

    The atmosphere of this place is very dark and sultry with lots of nooks and low lighting…read more Definitely great for a date night or a fancy bite to eat. The Spanish tapas were all really good. My favorite was surprisingly the broccolini with the steak coming in a close second. I recommend ordering multiple orders of tapas if you're hungry. Our server was super helpful and accommodating with my allergies as well. I definitely want to come back and try the other dishes.

Cocktails were well done and the wine pairings recommended astute. Nothing to complain about except some of the items were cold - there was one person serving the entire bar and restaurant and obviously had some timing issues. Also some attitude: after delivering cocktails to my wife and me he forgot her mom's - after I reminded him he said "oh I know" and then proceeded to serve four other patrons' order at the bar and then another two top's before even starting hers. It finally arrived after the cold mushrooms were delivered. I'm chalking this up to a short staffed situation and a specific individual, so if you live nearby or are traveling through looking for a nice spot for dinner or lunch I would definitely recommend. The environment is also very pleasant with a nice bar and dining room of high top tables.
