    Chicken nachos
    Fii M.

    Ehh. We wanted to go out for dinner but didn't feel like waiting in line. We decided to try one of the few places that were near our hotel. They check ids when you walk in, and you have to order drinks and food at the bar before finding a seat. Thankfully we were there at a good time and didn't have to wait for a table. I ordered the chicken nachos and the Tennessee IPA, my friend ordered the quesadilla and a beer. The nachos were very dry. It barely had any cheese and the chicken was canned chicken which made the nachos a bit soggy. My friend didn't care for her quesadillas either since they were lacking spices. We didn't finish our food. It this place did have specials and the game playing. This is a good spot for grabbing a drink and watching the game.

    Stood at the bar (not at a peak time, there was almost nobody else near me) and had to wait about 10 minutes for a bartender to acknowledge me. During this 10 minutes I was actively waving to the bartender and trying to get his attention, but he was talking to his friends. Finally got served and for the remainder of the night made sure to try to find a different bartender. BUT the food was good and the music was great. Nice place to go with friends and chill. ALSO! There's a vape vending machine there which I've never seen before.

    The bartender was very nice and helpful once I went to her when we realized there wasn't a waitress. We decided on pretzel sticks with cheese, and we both enjoyed the pretzels and the cheese. They came out warm and the cheese was the right consistency and cheesiness. We also had the chips with salsa and Queso. The chips were average and the salsa was ok if you like spicy. It was pretty spicy. The Queso wasn't very warm but had a good flavor. The three performers were all good singers. Overall, we liked the atmosphere and had a nice time while there.

    Industrial design and decoration with big screens for watching your favorite team sports. Bartenders and food staff were happy, pleasant, and fast. I ordered a gyro that was probably one of the best I've had in a while. Vegetables were fresh and colorful. Meat very tender. Chips and salsa with queso was also good. Fresh chips I might add. The live band Steelin' Hearts engaged with the audience and kept the place lively. I will definitely return.

    The food (a burger) was awful. The service at the bar was good. The ambiance is typical Nashville.

    Loved the opportunity to listen to local artists. My only complaint is that they needed a 2 hr set rather than 1 hr set.

He gave us recommendations on how to pair the moonshine that we were tasting and very funny. Whenever I'm in Nashville, this will always be a stop for me. And I'm sending my friends as well

Pretty busy inside around the bar where they do tastings, lots of tables in the next room with a couple food windows and bars set up. Outside, bags games and other outdoor games with surrounding tables and a Daddy's Dogs stand. A coupe more outdoor rooms with bars and such. We found a room in the back that was fairly empty. Three sides open to queue up to for placing an order, the bartender was doing his best but had no concept of who got there when, so he kept waiting on people that had just walked up while others had been waiting their turn continued to wait. I ordered a seltzer type drink that was refreshing on the warmer than usual day. It was fun, sitting around and watching all that was going on.

The 4 of us hung out here…read morefor a couple hours one morning to hear Joshua Hedley and the Hedliners, twang their way into old time honky-tonk souls. There's a row of boots on the wall, which I think is for display only and a call out to the time when they actually sold boots here. This historic building itself feels like a shotgun (long and narrow) and apparently once served as a Civil War warehouse and later the Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Company. To prolong our stay, we ordered cheeseburgers and beer (fries and onion rings were extra) for brunch. I tried to interest folks in their $6 "Recession Special" - A grilled or fried bologna sandwich piled high, with a bag of potato chips, a Moon Pie, and a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) beer, but got no takers. We sat up on the balcony, which we had all to ourselves and with a nice view to the main floor below. Our waitresses were down home friendly, hard working, and good at what they were doing. We felt right at home and this was perhaps the most classic and authentic Nashville experience we had here. The band even wished my Happy Birthday. :)
