    Host of Yelp Helps 2013!
    Marcia M.

    I was skeptical when a friend first suggested that I check out Rocketown as an event venue... and boy, was I wrong. Rocketown is the jam. With room for up to 1500 of your friends , the main venue space has fantastic built-in lighting and sound system so that your don't have to outsource for these additional costs. The attached complimentary parking lot and available surrounding street parking are a luxury to have for a venue space, especially one that is located Downtown! I love the expansive and industrial space that makes up the main room. It just beckons you to make the space your own whether you're producing a concert, wedding, conference, fundraiser, or really, the sky is the limit. I planned a community outreach fundraiser for 1000 here and had the best experience! We brought in food sponsors, adult beverage sponsors, and various nonprofit booths into the massive space and it felt and looked fabulous. Did I mention Big Wheel drag races out in the parking lot? Only for Yelp Helps, folks.... Throw in the fact that there is a generously sized stage, up to date bathrooms, and multiple entrance points and you have a ton of room to spread out your own event concept. You also have the option to rent out the smaller "White Building"which is across the way as it is more suited for events 500 or under. The Skate Park is also available for rental and use too. A cozy "living room" setup greets when you walk into the front doors and you may be surprised to see a fully operational coffee bar filled with java, snacks, and other refreshments. I should set up my "office" her once a week because it's a nice environment to get some work done or relax. You'll see anything from students and creative types to professionals sipping on a latte and working on projects here. They also schedule art exhibits, open mics, and other events within this space from time to time. And, I can't say enough about Mary Virginia Settle who is the dedicated Director Of Operations here. From the first time I reached out to inquire about using the event space to the cleanup of our event, this lady is nothing short of fantastic to work with. She's always looking out for everyone's best interest and not afraid to roll up her sleeves to help ensure that your goals are met. I wish that I could work with people like her every day! TIP: As if there isn't enough wonderful things going on here, the work and community outreach that Rocketown does for the youth in our community is admirable. They have afterschool programs, summer camps, and other events throughout the year that help kids off the streets. Rocketown is a 501c3 nonprofit so you may also make donations or contribute to this wonderful place!

    Rocketown is a great facility that includes two music venues, a coffee house with cafe, skate park, and funky clothing shop. Rocketown was built to be an oasis for youth, so they tried to make it as cool as possible for young people to be at Rocketown. There certainly is enough to do there. The skate park is always full, the coffee shop has kids hanging there after school and before and after shows. The little boutique is open during the day too. They host smaller local and regional bands in the downstairs venue. These shows are booked by Big Time Entertainment. They usually have up to 6 or 7 bands on the bill on any given night, so if you suffer from attention deficit disorder, you will survive the night here, because the stage is constantly changing. There is definitely an undercurrent of this being a Christian run facility, but only because they don't serve alcohol, it is a no smoking venue, and they try to run a pretty tight ship by not tolerating unruly behavior. I have never seen any overt proselytizing here or anything like that, but they do seem to favor having Christian artists/bands on the show bills especially in the downstairs venue. The large room upstairs has more general bookings for big all ages shows. I went and saw 'Mindless Self Indulgence' at Rocketown. The sound was really good, the stage is great. It is a big open dance floor. I would recommend seeing a show here, if a band you like is coming through.

    The Taste of Nashville event at Rocketown.

    I attend the Taste of Nashville event here. It was a little of an annoyance to try & find a parking place. We parked in a pay lot. The event space is large area that has a stage at one end. At the Taste of Nashville, they had tables set up on the sides of the event space and also in the center. This allows for people to be able to walk around the space and partake from the different venders. The space is large, but I think Taste of Nashville overshot the space size, because to get through the event you had below & bump into people. The bathrooms at Rocketown are located under a catwalk that extends along a part of the building. The bathrooms were large enough to accommodate people in the large group without have to wait in line. I say that about the men's restroom, I think the woman had to form a line. Overall I had no issues with Rocketown, other than I'd like them to have a little more parking. The space is pretty bare, allowing you to decorate how you'd like. At Taste of Nashville they had colorful paper lanterns hanging around. The event space is great if you're looking for a place with a stage. I have to say that I like City Winery & The Bell Tower better as an event space, Bell Tower being the front runner. Both are also in the same area as Rocketown.

    Our "cakes" table. Mary Virginia and her team set it all up.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue, the team of amazing people behind it, and their "leader" Mary Virginia Settle. Everything I needed was taken care of! Mary Virginia even took care of some things I didn't realize that I needed. Amazing venue and even more amazing people running it! My wedding reception was perfect! Easy! I was able to hand off a lot of decisions to them without worrying. They know what they are doing. I highly recommend Rocketown! Oh, and tip these wonderful people well. They deserve it for their hard work and attention to detail! Love!!

They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.

    Glashaus has really great vibes and some cool glass pieces to check out or shop inside the shop…read more I tried their Ghost Coffee, but sadly it wasn't very good--might have just been an off day. I'd still consider going back since they're open fairly late, which I really appreciate. There's a small parking lot next to the shop, which is convenient. Overall, a fun spot for the atmosphere even if the coffee didn't quite hit for me.

There was a line when we arrived, but it wasn't so bad. It moved by pretty quickly. While in line, you bypass all the pastries displayed behind the glass and they looked beautiful! Everything looked amazing. I ended up ordering the Twice Baked Croissant and the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich. The Twice Baked Croissant was just incredible. It had pistachios on top, a pistachio cream inside, and also a cherry or raspberry jam inside too. I love pistachios, and the pistachio cream inside was so light, creamy, delicate, but flavorful. I absolutely loved all the different textures. The croissant was airy and fluffy inside, and the outside had a nice flaky exterior. And the fruit jam inside complemented the pistachio cream very well, it added a nice sweetness that blended well with the cream. For me, it tied the whole thing together. I will definitely be thinking of this pastry when I think of pistachio croissants. And for the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich? Wow. I didn't know what to expect, but it was much larger than I anticipated. It was tall, like when I was bringing it to the table the top part of the bun almost fell off my plate because it had height. The fried chicken piece was great: juicy and had a nice golden color. It was crispy and also quite large for a chicken piece.. All the components about it were executed well: the fried chicken, the coleslaw! (i'm a coleslaw fanatic), and the sauce inside the sandwich was wonderful. Also last but not least, the fried egg too? Wow. I love a good runny egg. I'm not exaggerating, I was drenching the pieces of my sandwich in the sauce on my plate. It was just that good. Genuinely, I couldn't believe I finished that sandwich because it was very filling and that fried chicken piece was huge! Service was fast and friendly, I liked interacting with them. It is pretty small inside and we came on a weekend so it was busy and packed. We were lucky to snag a small table but it was difficult to find seating when we got our food. All in all, I'm so happy we came here. Yes it is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The quality is clearly there and showed up through everything we got. I had such a memorable time, thank you for taking care of us!
