    The view & vibes
    Cassadee H.

    This place is really a hidden gem. My boyfriend and I stopped in, not expecting much, and left knowing that sidebar is one of the best places (if not the best) in all of Nashville. From the service to the intricate cocktails, to the ambiance, this place has it all. Joe was absolutely incredible, friendly, and welcoming towards us. His craftsmanship and skills exceed all expectations. Highly recommend Sidebar in Nashville, you won't regret it.

    This bar is attached to the hotel and was around the corner from where we were staying so we were looking for something low-key to avoid some of the crowds but still be able to enjoy some live music. We were waiting on by Kyle who took great care of us and hooked us up with one of the best charcuterie boards that I've ever got from a random hotel bar. The inside of the hotel area also has lots of great options for snacks and drinks and cute space to hang out so all in all not only did we enjoy this bar but I really would recommend going to the hotel to stay! There was a fire pit going outside people playing games - very cool vibe. It was a little bit pricier than I expected but would say still well worth it.

    Great live music, drinks, and cheese board! Nice and cozy seats inside and fireplaces outside.

    Custom drinks from some amazing mixologists.  Great spot!

    John was an amazing vibe and bartender, nice dim lighting and occasional live singer song writer performing. Cool little spot!

    I loved the ambiance, the service, and the off the Main Street vibe. The bartender is attentive and it draws a friendly crowd.

    Went to a comedy show at Bode (the hotel this place is located inside of) and had the best cocktail of my life.

Now the star of the show was Malik ( hope I'm spelling it correctly) he was a joy to the experience that I had. We walked in at the right time for the group tasting.

I'm 30 years old and have used this license without issue for years. When I asked what specifically was wrong with the ID, nobody could provide an explanation. Instead, staff consulted a manager and simply told me they would not be serving me. Meanwhile, the other members of my group, all around the same age and carrying valid IDs, were able to order drinks without issue. As an Asian customer, I left this establishment believing I was racially profiled. I was singled out, denied service despite presenting valid identification, and never given a legitimate explanation for why my ID was supposedly unacceptable. Since the incident, I have found multiple reviews from other customers of color describing experiences that raised similar concerns about profiling and disparate treatment. The entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and unacceptable. There are plenty of businesses in Nashville that can verify IDs without treating customers this way.

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. :)

Simple, perfect, and hits the spot every time. Pair it with a whiskey and a pickleback, and you've got the full experience.

There was no live music available at the time, but they did have a DJ which I thought was spinning the turntable rather well. It's my bad that I didn't also catch on that his is basically a Tequila Bar, rather than a more general craft cocktail establishment. Judging by the well stocked bar and the word of our waitress, other alcohol and their associated craft creations are available, but it's pretty much off menu and not well into our waitress' repertoire. And yes, Cinco de Mayo was just a few days away. One member of our party just wanted a soft drink, which was not possible that night as their CO2 was down. That did make me wonder whether the non-alcohol drinkers had much to chose from here. I suppose we could have then wandered over to the Redemption Bar at Chief's? Anyway, we're not Tequila Drinkers, and since other drink options appeared to be guesswork, we left towards more traditional mixed drinks (and live music) at a nearby Printers Alley bar. This was a rare night that I really wanted a craft cocktail in a smooth environment, and in the end it just wasn't the same.
