Ecto Cooler
Markus D L.

Typically anywhere from 4 to around 6 or 7 is happy hour around the country, so why is this place so unhappy during "happy hour?" I couldn't tell if "Misery" the clear head person in charge/bartender was racist or just really unhappy with her job. I am the last person to pull the race card so I'll just assume she was miserable, but my experience still made me wonder. Since we were staying at the hotel below, My friend begged me to go with him, since he never sat and enjoyed drinks/food on a rooftop bar. I went and regret wasting my time. Walked in and sat at the bar. And that's all we did was sit. So I suggested moving to the other side. We walked all around the bar and sat on the opposite side and continued to just sit. Not a greeting, a hello, a smile, or any acknowledgement whatsoever. Another female employee came in, saw us just sitting there and handed us menus. The miserable bartender literally snatched the menus back and scolded the young lady saying they were the wrong menus. I felt so bad for her. She said those were what she was told to give. (I later asked if she was new/training and she said yes) "Misery" then looked at the menu, realized they were the correct ones, placed them back in front of us and says "HaHa, just kidding" Now, she asks us what would we like to drink, while we haven't even had a chance to look at the food/drink menu. We ordered drinks. The Ecto Cooler and The Whiskey Thief Punch. They came in capri-sun like pouches rather than a glass and I thought that was pretty cool! While making or drinks, two non ethnic people walked in and "Misery" goes "Hello, you guys can have a seat anywhere and someone will come over to you!" I'm like we can sit anywhere? Why didn't we get greeted like that? Heck we didn't even get acknowledged after sitting at the 2nd location.... So then we go to order food. The menu consisted of nine items printed, and some handwritten items on the bottom. We want one of the Flatbread. "Misery" says we're out of Flatbread. That's 3 of the 9 items on the printed menu. My friend seeing how annoyed I was ordered fried pickles, "Misery" says they are out of that too. On a Friday???? You're missing almost half the menu, not counting the handwritten nondescript items? I questioned if they were really out or if she just wanted us to leave. We did move to the outside part of the rooftop right before the food came out. The young lady who was responsible for the outside portion was warm and provided excellent service. My friend trying to save the evening ordered the black truffle fries. When they came out, there was clearly no, black truffle oil or "fresh cilantro" on the fries. Couldn't tell if the "fresh garlic" was present as I was over the whole situation at this time. Item not as described. I had to leave . There are plenty of rooftops in downtown Nashville, but I would have loved to enjoy this one since it was where we were staying. The look was there but It was definitely not in line with the Marriott brand. There were so many other things wrong with the situation but this review is long enough. "Misery" because I don't know her real name made this an impossible place to enjoy. I feel bad for the people working under and with her. And I feel bad for anyone experiencing this place as their first welcome to Nashville.... Up has the potential to be nice, but until they get some new employees I would never recommend it...

Really? Can't be bothered with a wine glass?!!
J P.

Not good, and not trying. Ordered 2 glasses of wine, the same, yet they couldn't be bothered to give us a wine glass. Seemed off, so we didn't order appetizers. The next table got a flatbread and told us, meh. Got our bill, and they overcharged us. Not worth the hassle. So we paid, tipped and left. The 'view' is an apartment building under construction.

Hot chicken!
Jenn S.

Really pretty trendy spot for great aerial views of downtown Nashville and surrounding areas. Coming from NYC, these prices for their drinks seemed reasonable to me lol Loved their hot chicken too! Service was really friendly and the views could not be beat! A little out of the ways from the tourist hub of Nashville but still worth the uber trip over! Looking guard to our next visit!

Fried pickles!
Olivia C.

FOOD: Super good! The charcuterie board was deliciously paired! (Could come with more pita chips for dipping) The fried pickles also super good! STAFF: Super friendly and attentive! DRINKS: Really good, really boozy Pricing made sense in terms of context (upscale place and located in the city). COVID SAFETY: The lounge is outdoors and it is a really modern looking set up with fun chairs, neon lights and gas fire pit tables! Since it was outside that made us feel better about attending. Employees were all properly wearing masks (covering their nose) and hand sanitizer was available at both the hotel entrance (where you come inside) and at the restaurant hostess stand. OVERALL - Had a fun night! Have never been to a rooftop bar before and this was a great introduction! The view is beautiful and we got lucky to see the sunset from up there! It was SUPER neat that they had heater lamps so that it didn't get too cold up there at night! Would definitely go again if I am ever in Nashville again!

View from the rooftop

UP, a rooftop lounge is located at the top of the Fairfield Inn in the Gulch. The Nashville city skyline is on display and makes for a breathtaking view. On a warm night this venue is ideal for either a date night or with a couple friends to come to mingle and to sip on a signature cocktail ($13) or wine ($7-12). Don't let it deter you that it is a hotel bar as it is a cool scene and not just for people visiting the hotel. As you enter the hotel use the furthest elevator away from the entrance and it will take you straight to the 8th floor. There are several tables (my only beef with this place is that the chairs are not comfortable) situated for prime sunset viewing. Service has been excellent each time I've been, and the most recent time our server kept bringing us napkins and refilling my water. I've been here a couple different times both on a weeknight and a weekend and it's been equally as packed. I have ordered the Bee's Knees which is a delightful and light drink (gin, lemon, sage, ginger and a honey syrup). I've also gotten a Moscow mule (vodka, ginger beer, lime) which was slightly sweet and not too tart. I have not tried the food but they do have small plates like fries with dipping sauce and tacos. Street parking is available on 9th street and there is also a pay lot off of this same street. It's a brief walk across the street to the lobby of the Fairfield Inn. This place is worth going to for a great drink with a view.

Cheese and meat plate. Divine!
Sheena T.

We brought a group of 4 people to check out the new space and had a very nice experience. The biggest downside was an overly miked singer whose volume was too loud for such a small space. There weren't any actual dining tables but more of a lounge atmosphere and we were able to snag a small table with 4 easy chairs. We ordered some cocktails; I had a gin concoction and my BF had a bourbon sour. They were both very good and they had a nice wine list too with a variety of wine options at different prices. Let's just say that we ordered a lot of food. Some of the plates were pretty large and others were smaller but all of them were interesting. Some of the table favorites were the cheese and meat plate, the pork belly, vegetable dish, and I loved the mussels. It was all very good, and had a French meets Southern flair. The head chef came around to ask how we were liking everything and that was a nice touch to the experience. The real gem of this place is the outdoor patio with fantastic views of the Nashville skyline. I cannot wait to come back and check out the food and drinks while enjoying a lovely Nashville day!

Great city skyline  view from bar. You can be outdoors or indoors
Binio L.

Inexpensive very cool looking place. The outdoor area is amazing and the drinks and food are great too. The bartenders are as friendly and they come and knowledgeable on drinks and very creative too. I had a great time. I'll be back any chance I get.

Nashville Skyline

I had a blast at UP rooftop lounge which is located in the Gulch on top of the Fairfield Marriott away from the ruckus with stunning views of Nashville. The hospitality was amazing!! The F&B director Roy really wowed us with exceptional service. We will definitely be back our next time in Nashville. I love the lounge vibe with music and the fire going and relaxing without huge crowds. The drinks were great and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the truffle fries and their crisps! I tried the Nashville hot chicken for the first time bc when In Nashville LOL and it was HOT!

Elise Dixie Jane M.

I was blown away by this bar! The ambiance is stunning and the views of the city are phenomenal!! The chef came out to personally thank us for our service and after speaking to him for a few minutes... he told us about his secret menu! He whipped up these bad ass wings. Keep in mind, I am NOT a wing gal. They were filled with flavor and spice!!!We also ordered the cheese plate, $180 of drinks, and a few appetizers! The service was impeccable and the bartender whipped up some off menu drinks that we asked for. We told him what we liked and he delivered!

Thommy S.

3.5 its a pretty nice spot. The service was mediocre. We just went to the bar to grab some drinks. There is also an outdoor seating area for the roof if you'd like to sit and eat. It is inside Fairfield if I can recall. You just walk in and take the elevators to up. The button will literally say "up" on it.

I don't remember the name but it was Belle Meade whiskey, wine float and rosemary.

Ask the Community - Up Rooftop Table and Tavern

Are there heaters?

Yes! I went for brunch last weekend when it was dreary and cold. The heaters made it warm enough to sit outside.

Is this place appropriate for a young teenage boy that will be with his parents?

Thanks for the inquiry! For safety we do not allow minors on the patio at any time, but minors are allowed with an accompanying parent inside the lounge from 4pm to 10pm. Thank you again for you message!

I liked that it had a vibe about it that reminded me of the early 2000s lounges that I used to go to, but only nicer. There is seating with booths, and then more seating in the center of the venue with nice chairs. There's an area for the dance floor, and then the DJ. The DJ that they had that night was playing banger after banger and had everyone on the floor dancing, or vibing in their seats. We had a great server who gave us some great recommendations on drink options. I am usually not a gin girl, but trying the Espresso Martini with gin was something I thought I'd never say was amazing. Because it absolutely was! We all tried a few different cocktails and every single one just hit the spot.

We just finished up at the Catbird Seat and Ashley had called next door to see if they could seat us at the Patterson House. As it turns out they could, and they were ready for us when we made our way across the hall. They gave us a choice of where we'd like to sit, and there were two chairs at the end looking out of the windows at skyline of the city. What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right? Great experience, and would absolutely come back when in town!

Then came another long wait, we waited about 20 minutes just to get our drinks, even though the bar was nearly empty. On the bright side, the drinks were great. I ordered an El Carajillo, and it was really good! The horchata crème in it was SOOOO good and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service issues continued. When the waitress brought the check for me to sign, I realized she had not returned my credit card. I had to track her down to get it back, and while doing so, I ran into another customer who had experienced the exact same thing. They have great drinks and normally provide a good experience, so hopefully this was just an off night. But on this particular Friday evening, with the bar barely occupied, the service definitely missed the mark.

I still believe the way they handled it was reckless and dangerous. My friends and I were waiting in a long line for the women's restroom. I really had to use the bathroom and was leaning against the wall when the male bathroom attendant offered, unprompted, to let us use the empty men's stall. We accepted. Moments later, someone began pounding on the door, shaking the handle, and yelling at us to get out. No one identified themselves, though I asked who it was and asked them to stop. I assumed it was an aggressive drunk patron, so I yelled back, asking them to stop. I would never have said what I did if I'd known it was staff. When I opened the door, two bouncers and a security guard were waiting. I apologized and explained right away that the attendant had invited us in. He looked directly at me and denied it. The bouncers then accused us of sneaking into the men's room and refused to hear anything else. As they escorted us out, I told the bouncer my phone was at our table with friends and asked to get it. He grabbed my arm, pushed me toward a different exit, and told me I'd have to get it "another way." I was put outside at night, impaired, with no phone and no way to call a ride, two miles from where I was staying, in an area that wasn't safe to walk alone. I got home safely only because the friends with me had their phones, though they didn't have the phone numbers of the people I was with that had my phone; after many Instagram DMs and calls, we finally were able to get their attention. Even while we waited outside, the bouncers kept taunting us. This happened just months after Riley Strain, a 22-year-old college student, was kicked out of a bar a few blocks away on Broadway. He left alone, his friends couldn't reach him, and he was found dead in the Cumberland River two weeks later. His death made national news and put a spotlight on how Nashville bars remove intoxicated patrons. Tootsies staff did the same thing to me anyway: they separated me from my group and my phone and pushed me out alone. The difference between my night and his is that my friends happened to have their phones. The next day, I walked past the same attendant in the alley beside the bar. He apologized to me. That apology confirmed what I said from the start, but it came a day too late to matter that night. Bars have to remove people sometimes, I understand that. There is a responsible way to do it, and putting a young woman out alone, impaired, and unable to contact anyone is not it. Staff never identified themselves, never let us explain, used physical force, and refused a simple request that would have taken thirty seconds (letting my grab my phone). After what happened to Riley Strain, there is no excuse for any Broadway bar to still handle removals this way. Any woman thinking of going here should know how this venue treats someone in a vulnerable situation.
