Junkyard Burger
Reeta B.

We went to The Green Light this year for their Halloween party. The decorations inside were so much fun including a lot of Wicked themed things! It was pretty crowded inside with music and dancing. They also have a food truck where we got their Junkyard burger with fries and mac and cheese. It was not totally our vibe of a place, but definitely a fun place to go for a night out. Also they have a mechanical bull! Parking is super easy outside with an attached lot and nearby free street parking. Free parking is always a plus!

So it's my first time in Nashville. I was there for a weekend for an annual conference that I usually attend. It's Sunday. I have a couple hours to burn before I need to get to the airport. So, since I love dive bars, I search on my phone and find this little bar south of town but close enough to take a Lime scooter. I head that way super excited to watch My Detroit Lions take on the Cleveland Browns. I walk into the bar through the back patio and notice a few Browns fans wearing jerseys watching the game and I look up at the TVs and am glad to see my Lions playing. Well, I wander into the bar and it looks like your typical sports/dive bar. Then I realize that EVERY SINGLE PATRON is wearing a CLEVELAND BROWNS JERSEY! I didn't panic. I just found a quiet corner with a seat available and hid. So apparently this place is the watch party location for the NASHVILLE BROWNS BACKER fan group! the gent next to me said nothing as sat quietly wearing my Lions hat and a blue t-shirt. But after a drink nor two we were discussing the woes of being both Browns and Lions fans our while lives. I ended up chatting with tow fellas and they were both very nice and respectful. My recommendation....GO HERE! its was great and they have Rolling Rock for $3.

This place is a gem. The esthetics of this place screams fun. A beautiful place indeed. The bartender spoke to us as soon as we came through the door. Super friendly and made us feel at home. So much so, this will be our spot ever Sunday. I didn't get food but Jones did and the Nachos looked and smelled amazing. They were smashed with 10 minutes. The Bloody Mary is everything. I had two. I almost ordered 3... Delicious for sure.

Not a fan. First off they have beer signs in the restaurant and only had 1 IPA. The ipa was good…read moreI'll give them that. The menu is limited it's very sport bar kind of food. I ordered the wrap, all the ingredients tasted fresh but the wrap tasted very much like a gas station wrap. The turkey in it was not good and tasted cheap and old. The fries on the other hand were pretty good. The Mac and cheese was also very creamy and good. Service was absolutely terrible. When I ordered an IPA I just asked her to get me whatever she recommended. Her response was "I don't know I hate IPAs" okay, can't you ask a bartender for dealers choice. Ridiculous. We didn't great our drink order until sitting for 30 mins. We didn't get our food order for almost an hour after sitting and instead of asking us what we wanted to order they just came by to take the menus. I had to say "can't we order food" which made them stop and take our order. Terrible, terrible service. I've had better food, I'd go elsewhere.

Good food in an ideal location for pregame festivities…read more Stopped here to have an early dinner before Titans game. My friends and I sat outside and although it took awhile for our waitress to find us & get our food & drink orders I wouldn't fault them as it was packed prior to the game. I had the cheese curds as an app (large portions & very good) & the honey barbecue chicken tenders with fries. I wasn't a huge fan of the fries as they are thick and square cut which isn't my favorite style, but the chicken tenders were some of the best I have had. No stringy bits you often get at restaurants, just good fresh tasting chicken. Sauce was good as well. Would come back, the buffalo chicken chimichanga sounded really enticing

We tried a little bit of everything, and the food was really good. We picked up my gf mom at the airport and most restaurants are closed or limited menu. This is place is such a clutch. I had the egg rolls were delicious and probably one of my favorites. The pizza rolls were also good, cheesy, and perfect for sharing. The salad was fresh and surprisingly great, my gf mom really enjoyed it. the smashed burger was really solid with a soft bun, good toppings, i had the smashed burger and bacon jam. Could use more bacon jam though. It came with fries the fries came out looking soggy but the waiter was 100% she saw it and took it back and it came out crispy . My gf enjoyed her brussels sprouts and pizza rolls. Everything came out looking good and tasted fresh. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, but it is definitely loud, so keep that in mind if you're wanting a quiet dinner. Overall, it's a great late-night spot with good food, good portions, and a lively vibe.

Our food was fresh and hot, but our service was disappointing on our most recent visit. The hostess who greeted us had let us know she was cleaning a booth to seat us, but we watched another couple move themselves from the bar to the booth that she was establishing for us. No one corrected them, and there seemed to be a lack of communication between the servers. When we were eventually sat, our service was initially great, but then our server forgot about us and it took over 20 minutes for us to flag her down to ask for Togo boxes and our check. Also, we were there for over an hour last night and they were only playing tame impala music. It was a funny thing that we had noticed, but maybe put on a radio shuffle rather than play an album top to bottom.

On a trip to Nashville to see Chris Stapleton in concert my boyfriend and I came across Pharmacy…read moreBurger while walking around downtown Nashville. There is plenty of seating as this restaurant is in a large food hall. The staff was very friendly and our order came out rather quick! I'm back home now, but to this day I still think about the flavors of this burger... it was hands down one of the best burgers I have had in a long time! I ordered the Farm Burger without the egg and it was incredible! When you take your first bite all the flavors explode in your mouth. Instead of French fries I opted for tater tots and I loved that this was an option! They were made to perfection and nice and crispy! My boyfriend ordered the White Oak BBQ Burger. He said he really liked it and it was delicious. He opted tater tots as well, and he said they were exactly what he wanted. After trying a bite of my Burger he said next time he's ordering that one! I can't wait for the next time we go back to Nashville so we can go back to Pharmacy Burger!

Had such a great experience at the Pharmacy! And special shoutout to Tyler who took such great care…read moreof us! There's a relaxed neighborhood vibe to the restaurant. It features a vintage soda fountain interior alongside an outdoor beer garden that mirrors the traditional German biergarten culture. Very veritable and different vibes depending on the experience you are going for. For food we ordered the Pharmacy Burger and the Currywurst, along with the hand cut sweet potato fries and tater tots. The burger was solid but that house made currywurst was incredible. Everything was flavorful and came out fresh. The chipotle avocado aioli and maple mustard were musts with the sides! The beer menu is also extensive, with tons of options, especially if you're into German and European style beers. Overall, a fun spot with a great atmosphere, solid food, and excellent service! Can't wait for my next meal here.

Not sure what all these high falutin corn pones are crying about. Its a dive sportsbar. In madison…read more With CHEAP ass drinks. C'mon people. This is actually one of my main joints. They have outdoor volleyball, huge outdoor seating/patio area, with cornhole. It sometimes looks like the aftermath of a rush week frat party, but that just means people were raging the night before and you missed out. Amirite? They've got 2 pool tables, snack candy food dispenser, video poker, jukebox, AND several old school arcade machines. They had them before all the hipster barcades started too popping up too, talk about OG bar fun I tell you. They have a deadbeat DJ playing top 40s and decent hiphop on weekends, with a solid sound system and great acoustics for the venue because of its lodge-esq feel and open air wooded infastructure. The fact that it turns into a dance club atmosphere with bass booms, lasers lights, and low lighting is a nice breath of fresh air compared to the honkey skonk suet downtown. Nothing special, just a nice dance club dive at night. This atmosphere also attracts hoodwinks, so be warned. Theyre all honestly harmless as long as youre not acting like a complete doucet - or wearing a certain gang color (sarcasm?). For demographics, this bar is par for the course in its neck of the woods. I hate that they dont serve drinks in real glasses though, only plastic. Theyve got a wide variety of TVs, not the biggest, but they do the job. They also have poker on Wednesday nights. The food is pretty decent, they actually use a grill. The grilled chicken sandwich is actually curiously fantastic.

What a total shithole. I went here once and that was all I needed. I'll never set foot in there…read moreagain. The food is awful, the customers and pure trash, and the bartenders are really good at putting their bodies on display to earn a few extra bucks. If you have any self respect, stay away.
