I've seen this spot through multiple iterations but the outdoor area, which features a variety of kitschy tables (covered and uncovered, fire pits and blankets in the cooler months, and extremely delicious wood-fired pizza courtesy of New York outpost Roberta's, make this a favorite spot for me. I love that I can meet up here with a large group and no reservations and there is something for everyone. Really tasty, reasonably priced cocktails or NA options, a great shareable food menu (the bee sting pizza and the pizza rolls are truly not to be missed!) It's also one of the rare spots I actually crave coming to when it gets a little chilly outside because the outdoor fire pits and flannel blankets make it such a cozy fall vibe! My book club often requests that we meet here when it gets s bit chilly since it's dog friendly and really easy for a small group to have their own space for a hangout. Parking on the street can get a bit busy during oral times, but I'm always able to find a spot within a block walking distance. Service is fast and friendly, and you never have to wait long to order, even if it is more crowded (as it can be in good weather days and weekends.) There is a covered indoor space if there's inclement weather, so you're not just limited to outside. This is truly an East Nashville classic and well lived by locals for a reason.

A Sampling of Things I Enjoyed: - Rotating Performer Spotlight (Clint Black and Lainey Wilson) - Chet Atkins guitars - Individual Instruments Used by Various Artists. - The Exhibits Featuring Session Artists. - The Leather-enhanced Nudie Cohen Pontiac Bonneville. - Elvis Presley's Solid Gold Cadillac - The Muscle Shoals exhibit. - Various videos, partially the popular culture ones. - John Prine's cherished 1942 Wurlitzer jukebox - Numerous Gold/Platinum Records on the Walls. - The Hatch Show Print Studio and Pop Up. - Individual Artist Exhibits (Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Eric Church, etc.) - The Rotunda: The Hall of Fame plaques honoring inductees.

I really enjoyed that they had some old vehicles and old outfits was another also enjoyable. I felt a bit underwhelmed by the displays for artists. Some artists were seemingly granted much more appreciation than others and it seemed a bit backwards. For example, Lainey Wilson had a huge case, significantly larger than several other incredibly accomplished country musicians, and I just didn't understand that at all. Honestly, a $30 ticket was quite reasonable for a museum, especially for how large of a staple this museum is supposed to be. I think I would've been upset if it was more $, so luckily it wasn't. I wouldn't come back again though.

From the beginning, the experience was wonderful. After leaving our car and scanning our tickets, there were multiple employees to direct us and answer any questions. We began by exploring the gardens. My personal favorite was the sculpture walk, with several different sculptures hidden around every corner. We then took a self-guided tour of the historic mansion. The mansion is decorated with items from the Cheek family collection, as well as donated items and rotating art exhibits. I particularly loved the wood paneled library and the small morning/dining room. Definitely the place to come if you want some design inspo! Be prepared to walk when you visit. We arrived around 10:30 on a weekend, and were directed to park in the overflow parking. The overflow lot requires a walk on gravel/rock with a slight incline. Although the site is huge, there are plenty of benches and three different restrooms. There are limited food options, but we were able to bring sandwiches and enjoy lunch in the water garden. When visiting, don't miss the iconic Wisteria Arbor or the stables!

I only attended the garden due to time since I had to be back on the road for home. I was able to walk 3/4 of the garden within 2 hours so I say there is much to see and admire. I was able to take photos with ease and I enjoyed that I wasn't the only one carrying a camera. 1 thing I didn't like is that the paid parking is on a steep hill and basically dirt. It was only $7 ($5 + $2 fee) but i would've hoped for something a bit better. So carry your good shoes in your hand.
