a little fun pub game & buffalo trace
Elizabeth B.

We had some time to kill before our reservations for dinner & found this local pub via a Reddit post. We were thrilled to find Buffalo Trace, a cool/casual space, and a board game that had been revamped by the team. We were super early so no live music yet, but we will def be coming back to check it out in the future. Had such a good time hanging out here! We didn't order any food, but looked like some solid options!

Great little spot and super cool staff! Music, darts, back porch... What more do you need out of a local cheers spot???

Amazing Buffalo wings.
Adrian P.

Easily my favorite bar! I can't wait until they're open again. Great food and even better staff.

If I didn't know any better, I'd swear I was in my friend's basement during Christmas break from college. It's that kind of bar.

Love this place. The bartenders always take good care of me. And they have the best onion rings.

Gotta qualify the 5 stars thing up front because this is a bar, not fine dining, and it's…read moresmoking-friendly. I'm not counting those as quality issues but rather selection of a target audience. It may not be for everyone in that regard. But I'm often out late when traveling, and usually bored, so that's how I found this place. It's open late, and that was enough to make me try it. But it's the socialness that brings me back over and over. For someone who doesn't drink, I visit a lot of bars. I find this a particularly welcoming one. Rare is the bar where people are as friendly and social as here. In a lot of bars, I come and go without even feeling noticed. Here, I have met and chatted with quite a number of people. Hayley, the late evening bartender this time, is one of the hardest working bartenders I've run across anywhere. A lot of my friends are service staff, many of them bartenders. So I know what it takes to do well in that. It's not easy. There is a lot of subtlety to keeping a bunch of people calm and content when they're drinking. She was serving the whole room, not just from behind the counter. She took the time out to (re)teach me play pool, something I've not done for decades. Then she checked back periodically to make sure I was interacting with other people and having a good time. A lot of the people she seemed to already know, but she was tending to each in a way that seemed appropriate to them. I was really impressed, and in fact extended my stay in the area by a day because I was having such a good time and wanted to come back the following night. And the food is decent (for a bar). The kitchen isn't available quite as late as the bar, which stays open surprisingly late. Still, they've planned for that and have 'brown bag' offerings of sandwiches you can buy when the kitchen itself is closed. I think that is really clever, and I wish more bars did that. All in all, I like the place and if I get back to Nashville, I'll make a point to be back here.

One particular bar tender, a blonde middle aged woman, is extremely rude. I don't recommend this…read moreplace to anybody.

We've eaten at Gary's on Main several times back when Michael and Joni Cole owned it, and while the…read moreplace always had great potential, it never quite lived up to our expectations. When Jonny Weber took over earlier this year, we were genuinely excited, we've always enjoyed his work at Country Boy in Leiper's Fork and Zolo's, and you can immediately feel the difference at Gray's The entertainment quality is noticeably upgraded. The staffing is dramatically improved, from the hostess stand to the servers, the attitude shift alone makes a world of difference. The menu has seen subtle but smart changes: keeping some of the old favorites while adding more sophisticated choices that elevate the dining experience. We're also glad to see a more efficient layout for the second floor stage area and dining area. When an owner can pick up extra seating without impacting other diners, that's smart business, more revenue for him, and ultimately better cost control that helps keep prices down for all of us. Our only hiccup this visit was the kitchen. The Sweet Pineapple Chili Drumsticks were really good, and all the orders were correct and arrived together. But both halibut plates and the the pork chop were all overdone, and the carrot cake was overly chilled. Timing and coordination are huge parts of a dining experience, and we expect those issues will get ironed out as the team settles in. Even with that, the overall improvement is undeniable. The direction Jonny is taking Gary's on Main is exactly what this spot needed, and we fully expect the kitchen to catch up to the rest of the operation. We'll be part of that future.
