    Perfect gin joint to go to and do some adulting. Drinks and food were top notch. Kevin, our server, was on point keeping our glasses full and spirits high. The dark atmosphere is a reminder to stay chill and enjoy life.

    This was one of our first stops in Nashville and it was super cute! We loved the decorations and the booth was perfect for hanging out with friends! The drinks were great and we ordered a few snacks! We enjoyed the brie but it could have used more bread. The service was great and we had so much fun!

    The staff is so friendly and so sweet and honestly made the experience such a joy! The Cotton Candy Cosmo is amazing! The fries is delicious and perfect to share! The vibe inside is so unique and just a fun experience. The prices were reasonable for the creativity of the drinks and food. There is free parking for 2 hours which is nice, just get the QR code from the host. Highly recommend schedules a girls night here soon!

    Really dig the names of the drinks in the cocktail menu.

    My wife discovered Tiger Bar online -- probably via TikTok. Since we enjoy going to speakeasies, cocktail bars, and gin joints, this became the first on our list to visit during our recent stay in the Nashville area. The 1930's sideshow-inspired bar creates some wicked tasty cocktails in addition to the classics. Our visit was a joyful one where we enjoyed the drinks and the darkened, old-school-carnivalesque ambiance. Tiger Bar like many cocktail lounges and self-styled speakeasies focus on a myriad of specialized cocktails. Inspired by the 20s and 30s cocktail scene combined with the sideshow Influences, Tiger specializes in not only perfecting the classics but creating their own signature on cocktails that will tantalize the senses. Upon entering the establishment, past the receptionist desk with the portrait of a tiger going through a ring of fire and the lavender velvet curtain, you enter a carnivalesque gin joint full of escape and wonder. We took a table with olive green cushions and red velvet curtains the kept the daylight away. By the bar, there was an old love tester machine to measure your hotness. The hanging ceiling lamps helped create the darkened carnivalesque ambiance, which you wondered if Captain Spaulding was going to pop out of nowhere with a bucket of chicken and before beheading you. But I digress. For cocktails, we started off with the Lobster Boy cocktail and the Beneath the Cards cocktail. Made with Fords Gin, Grey Goose Vodka, dry vermouth, celery bitters, and lobster oil, the lobster boy cocktail was quoted in the menu as "savory, bursting with flavors like you were dining on lobster dinner." They were right about that. If you are into lobster like I am, the cocktail was gorgeous on the mouthfeel and finish. With respect to the Beneath the Cards, you can argue that this is the one drink that all your friends post pictures of if they visited here. Made with Assam tea-infused Gin, Strega herbal liqueur, Bartlett Pear, Lemon, and a Pear- Dill Foam before being topped with your own personal tarot card pull, the drink is grand without being overpowering by any sort of sweetness or booziness. I finished their Snozzberry cocktail that (guess what?) tasted like snozzberries! Additionally, we enjoyed some Bacon-wrapped dates, which tantalized our senses and gave us a sense of tremendous well being and strength; strength and tremendous well being. They offer a variety of equally decadent small plates while you sip on cocktails that pair very well overall. I applaud Tiger Bar for its excellence and carnival-like environment that allows you to live your best life and enjoy them with loved ones and friends. Or just enjoy yourself without making it weird.

    Tiger bar is incredibly unique and fantastic for either a date night or while out with friends. The prices are super reasonable for a bar of this caliber. The drinks are inventive and whimsical. We were able to walk in on a Saturday night and snag a table for three. We ordered the cotton candy cosmo. You dissolve the cotton candy into the drink to finish making the cosmo - what a cool idea! And it was delicious. The Beneath the Cards was aesthetically pleasing and yet light and refreshing to the taste. We also ordered a regular old fashioned and they did a great job using buffalo trace. I'd also recommend the popcorn trio for snacking. Service was fast and attentive and also provided recommendations for our next stop.

    Tiger Bar is a dark, quirky, circus themed bar. But not a creepy circus. I don't do clowns so I was a little nervous coming here. There were no clowns! I loved that the bartenders are dressed in striped shirts ala strong man costumes. The drinks are strong and the service is good. They have food but we didn't order any.

    Ambiance is amazing in here! Very fun 1930s circus vibes. Service was great as well. So glad we found this very weird, eclectic bar. What an experience! Would love to come back and visit sometime.

    RESERVATION NEEDED !! Super vibey spot in East Nashville. Definitely on the pricier side but it is a really unique space with super interesting craft cocktails. Service was good and drinks came out surprisingly fast.

    Do it- just go! I have been meaning to come to this bar for months! And so glad I did. The vibes are immaculate- so unique! We had a booth but I imagine sitting at the bar has to be quite the experience. The beverage menu can get a little bit overwhelming, their cocktails are true mixology well thought out flavors that come together, very cool looking as well. But if you are a little more classic they have standard cocktails and wine. Their food menu is very limited but honestly it was so delicious! We ordered the sliders and these crab filled crunch delicious things that made us full. Also our server was super helpful with recommendations and walking us through the menu. We were there for a while and she did a great job of taking care of us. The booths enable groups of 6 for larger parties but it's also a perfect date night spot. Will definitely be back!

    I've gone to Tiger Bar a few times, and have always enjoyed myself. The space has a really great theme and decorations. It is very dark in there, so if you have trouble being in places with low lighting, beware. They have a lot of really great cocktails on the menu, but a lot of it features gin. The food is pretty good too - the popcorn, the vinegar fries, and the Bavarian pretzel are must haves. The hot Cheeto mozzarella sticks and the small street pizzas are good too - especially the prosciutto and honey one. Highly recommend getting a reservation if you want a table. They also have bar seating if you're in a smaller group. I can't wait until they decorate for Halloween this year! Parking is behind the building m. They will validate parking for the first two hours at the host stand.

    Overall, a pleasant experience if you're looking for unique drinks and something off-the-beaten-path! We liked: * The staff is very friendly and accommodating. * The entire menu - everything was delicious! We had the two faced lady, the skeleton, the Bellini, the tarot card drink, the flaming hot Cheeto mozzarella sticks, the popcorn trio, and the salt and vinegar fries. * They valet parking for your first 2 hours. * The outdoor seating area is lovely. We didn't like: * Guinness is served in a regular glass. * It's pretty dark inside but I can see that being very appealing on a weekend night! * The Bellini is served with a sticky sugary mess on the side of the glass - I'd recommend asking they skip that step. It dripped down the bottom and stained our fingers and clothes.

    When I first came to this place was magical and whimsical and I would recommend it to everyone that told me they were coming to Nashville (I'm from the west). So of course I had to visit the next time I came to Nashville because I loved it so much. They do validate parking which is a perk I didn't know when. I first came because I was able to walk here from my hostel. I was so excited to show my friend this place but it fell short of expectation. Still whimsical and magnificent idea but a bit of a different menu. Probably never spinning the wheel again because I get the martini or Tom Thumb every time. (Same ingredients, one's a shot, one's a cocktail) and unfortunately you can't get another drink which sucked because I wanted to try something different. That was a disappointment but I blame myself for that one. No more pate, no more elephant eat. Wasn't really impressed by the food options but my friend was having a sweet tooth moment so she got the ice cream sandwich. It was alright but I wouldn't put it above the elephant ear that they replace. Cute packaging that match the circus theme though. I told the bartender what I liked and was so under delivered. Everyone else drinks looked amazing and mine tasted reminiscent of medicine. Wasn't impressed with my cocktails and even a random, fellow patron tried my drink wasn't about it. Then we got the bill. $11 in taxes is OUTRAGEOUS. I know it isn't your fault as a bar but my goodness that was enough to never make me want to come back here. Another person I recommended this place to, who is a cocktail expert, told me that he wasn't impressed and his drinks, though nice looking were not delectable. Hate to see a great concept fall short of expectation. The bartenders didn't make the experience as much as my first time in but I did enjoy the midnight bar wide cheers that they did and it was also a last call cheers. I hope that you guys are able to bounce back with a better selection of cocktails and food. Until then, I probably won't be recommending this once shiny hidden gem again...

    What a fun vibed place! We had such a good time! The whole bar is circus themed and the drinks and food have a great whimsy to them. They change up their menu pretty frequently so we got their New Year 2026 menu. For food we tried the Flamin' Hot Mozz Sticks which were so much fun and way bigger than we expected. Some major cheese pulls from them! I would definitely order them again. Also a huge extra note is that the menu is Celiac friendly! They have a separate fryer for anything that is gluten free. Yay! Additionally, some of the drinks we got were the Cotton Candy Negroni, Beneath the Cards, Spirit Talker, and an Aperol Spritz. All the drinks were beautifully crafted and yummy. We all sat at the bar since we didn't have reservations so we couldn't get a table. They have some standing tables too so there are a few options. If you can get a reservation for a group, I'd definitely do that. Parking is a little challenging outside. They have their own parking lot and we were able to get a spot easily since we went at the earlier end of the night, but it gets busy so I'd definitely plan for that. The lot also have free parking for 2 hours if you let the host know inside that you need that.

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.

My fiancé and I are getting married next week, and they surprised us with complimentary champagne, which was such a nice touch. We started with the lobster bisque and the Caesar salad. The Caesar was your standard salad, nothing that stood out, but the lobster bisque was rich, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights. They also had a great selection of cocktails and beer to choose from. For our main we split a NY Strip with mashed potatoes. Now I'm usually a ribeye guy, but I have to say this steak was cooked to perfection. It melted in your mouth, and the butter they used was spectacular. The mashed potatoes were a touch dry for my taste, though my fiancé loved them. The best part might be the atmosphere. You can feel the history the moment you walk in, and the live piano playing in the background ties the whole experience together. We will absolutely be back!
