Walked in at 10 on a Friday night and practically no one was there, and we ordered 2 bottled beers and the bartender charged us $20. Felt like all the staff was staring at us. We quickly left. Do not recommend... read more

Awesome place. Great staff.. every night is different when it comes to music... big rock bands to EDM to rappers to asoul Kareoke and singer-songwriters read more

404 Bar & Grill - a plate of food - Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This bar is under new management and is not what it once was. I've never had issues with my ID before (I'm 30) but at this place I had 3 bartenders who didn't know what well tequila was examining my ID for 3 minutes before they finally accepted it. My friend, also 30 showed them his passport which they didn't accept. The place was playing loud Mexican music and is dirtier than before. The two beers they poured us before we left were all head from an improperly tapped keg. read more

It was bad enough that I could not get a space at the almost empty bar, because no one could bother cleaning up from the previous customers, but then I had a useless bartender who knew nothing about the beer menu. When I asked her if she could tell me what beers they had available since providing a beer list was too much of a burden for the management, she honestly said., "I don't know, they are all in the coolers, name one." I thought to myself, Ah, Bud Light???? Have you heard of it? Later I asked if they had any unfiltered beers or craft beers. She didn't know what those were. Check!!! At least the Thai egg rolls were good. I shouldn't be surprised by this kind of experience in Nashville, a city of amateurs. P.S. Get some paper towels in the bathrooms. Don't know if you've heard, but there's a pandemic. Some folks here need to do their jobs and some need training. read more

Pretty gross, weird musical vibe with two different bands playing at the same time within earshot of one another. A folk singer and a metal band. Food was gross. Girlfriend got sick. read more

I'm glad I stopped at this gem of a place , from the moment I set down at the bar the bartender Laura was very engaging and friendly. The regulars make you feel welcome ! Food scrumptious! read more

This is not the original 404 bar,someone bought the business and I had bad experience drinking at that bar,trying to relax and people rush in chasing after someone into the bar. read more

Disappointed with the drinks, tonic water was bland and pricey. The stage was impressive.Great bands!

Great bar! Owners are wonderful! We come all the time! Don't let the bad reviews fool you! It's the best bar in this area hands down! Food is good as well! read more

I've never been treated with such disrespect. This establishment is racist!!! Stood at the bar for 5 minutes continuously politely saying excuse me to the bartender to request a menu. He CONTINUED to ignore even when not being busy with customers. Would never recommend a restaurant to anyone where the workers make the customers feel unwelcomed read more

This is the Great Barrier Reef of dive bars. Food is surprisingly decent. Henrik the bartender is a modern day philosopher. And if the local college band Summer League is on the lineup when you are there, make sure you catch one of their sets. You won't be disappointed... read more

This place is garbage. I'm assuming it's an owner who cooked our food. There was hair, clearly raw, dry and absolutely repulsive. Super disrespectful when we complained about the food. The cook got into a verbal argument with someone in front of the customers inside the restaurant. Threw a broom. Felt sick after eating our appetizers and a couple bites of our entrees. They do not know how to cook burgers. They were RAW and falling apart. Their Philly cheesesteak was dry and the bun wasn't even toasted. They advertised catfish on the menu but clearly gave my friend extremely greasy and nasty cod. DO NOT recommend. Don't waste your time. Especially if you're out of town, experience some better food downtown Nashville. We're from Michigan and this was the worst place we have ever eaten at. read more

The burger I was served was very undercooked and the deep fried mushroom was very slimy and wasn't breaded properly. The salt and pepper shakers were sticky and had hair stuck to them. read more

Considering I live in the condos right behind the 404 for the past two months I figured it was time to try out the 404. I went on a Salsa night so the atmosphere was just right for a Saturday night out with friends. There was an instructor and the great salsa music. Not to mention the food was fantastic. I had the veggie burger and sweet potato fries. The house Chardonnay was on point. Constructive criticism: there was not a drink menu and the server didn't know if there were drink specials. I just believe the 404 would be perfect with signature drinks and specials. I will be going back. Just a hop and a skip away. No DUI for this chick. read more

A little jewel that I am sure is missed by many as it is tucked away off the road. But they have great music with writer's night's and the food is excellent. The bartender is also the server and she stays right on top of things. We have tried several of the menu items, from the wings to the burgers. My favorite is still their BBq nachos. I am not sure why this place isn't packed every night! read more

The owner bought all my friends shots and not me, maybe I'm ugly :( JK Marcy knows she's MUY CALIENTE! I was en el baño jajaja! Me and mi ladies love to get SPICY here! Latin nights are my favourite!!! read more

Hate that I have to pay to get in. Music is good (salsa and bachata). Parking is a decent size and free. Dance floor is small but that is good when you want to dance and not be in the spotlight. read more

Smells like a locker room and the food is barley edible. Burger was almost raw.. What happened!?! Where did the good bartenders go? I remember this spot being the in-the-cut divey restaraunt/bar by plaza mariachi with a chill atmosphere and good people. Truly a fall from grace. 1/5 read more

Went to see a friends band and get something to eat. Was told they were closing early due to a bad turn out. Food came out cold, it's a shame the place has potential to be great. Won't be going back. read more

There are not too many places in South Nashville that have a great liquor selection without compromising happy hour value for beers. The 404 Bar and Grill is an awesome place if you're on Nolensville Pike and you're looking for something that is not a dive bar. Dive bars are great, don't get me wrong; but sometimes I want a decent cocktail without fighting downtown traffic or driving to East Nashville. If you're lucky enough, you'll get the bartender here who knows how to craft the perfect artisanal cocktail on the level of Patterson House. He's awesome and loves his craft. Chat him up, and you'll see. (The alternative is a slightly surly bartender who doesn't love traversing back-and-forth to the outdoor patio.) Onto the outdoor patio - it is an underutilized gem. The string lights are inviting with a soft yellow that isn't abrasively hipsterish like the faddish Edison bulbs in the East Nashville joint of your choice. In the cooler months of fall, there's an outdoor stage for featuring music while you sip your whiskey or microbrewed beer of your selection. Onto the food - this is slightly elevated bar food that is a step above the greasy fare of other nearby places. The 404 is a hidden gem on Elysian Fields. Whether you want to recline on the front couches or chill out on the patio, this is the place to bring your group of friends for a semi-quiet, laid back gathering to enjoy conversation. read more

Bad place. Do not go.... One of owners called my friend a b**** because she turned him down. The bartender added a an extra beer to my bill. read more

Absolutely loved the cajun pasta with grilled chicken and the parmesan garlic chicken wings! They also have a great selection of wines. The prices are low, and it has a great neighborhood vibe. Denny is the best. Definitely give it a try! read more

Went on one of their first opening nights. A nice place to grab drinks with friends. Love the "lounge area" with couches. Good atmosphere and decorated really nice. The bartender and waitress were extremely nice. Didn't get to try a meal, but enjoyed my margarita and shrimp cocktail. read more

Cheap, fun, local gem. Expect to be treated by staff and bartenders the way you treat them! Food is above average for bar food, the Cajun Alfredo pasta honestly surprised me. Comfortable local bar feel but not run as down as most. A local favorite for sure read more

I stopped in on a Friday for early dinner. Had the House Burger which was so so, came with fries which were not good. The burger is described as a half pound of chuck but I don't see it, and the flavor of the patty was plain. The bun was okay, the lettuce and other innards were good. Service was nice, atmosphere is relaxing. Not much parking. read more

Very unprofessional and slow service. Enter at your own risk when it comes to a group of unfiltered lazy servers. Food wasn't bad but the experience outweighed everything read more

This was a pop up, first time visit for me and I was impressed. Entertainment was live and the staff were nice with positive attitudes at all times. My food didn't take long at all and stayed hot from the first to last bite. Would recommend to anyone new to the area or looking for a laid back atmosphere or just visiting. Thank you for a great experience 404 Bar and Grille. read more

My friend and I were staying nearby and wanted a nice bar and grill to eat at, not downtown, and have a few drinks. The bartender was very boring and ignored us most of the time, couldn't even tell you her name because our conversations were very limited and almost non-existent. We ordered our food, which was terrible. It came out neutral temp, not even warm. The 404 burger didn't get everything on it like it said it would and the veggie burger was very over cooked and hard to eat. The bartender didn't check on us once to see how it tasted or if we needed anything until we were done, and even then didn't ask us how it was. Would never recommend this place. On a positive note, the two patrons there did talk to us more than the bartender. read more

Good food good service good music & not too pricey. The owner Tony & bar tender Nicole are awesome.

Atmosphere is great, but the food is not cooked well. I have tried multiple items and it's all pretty dry and bland.

We came in and the kitchen had just closed. The cook was about to walk out the door to go home and she said she'd cook our dinners before she left. Bartender was very nice and overall we were very pleased! read more

The management and leadership of 404 Bar and Grill (404 Elysian Fields Rd, Nashville, TN 37211) is a joke. I planned my 31st birthday party at the venue Dec10, 2016...back in August. Owner and management new about the party, and placed me on there so called calendar. Eight days before my party, I am notified that they book an additional party and I will have to share the venue. I was very frustrated and the management would not do right by me to cancel the additional party booked the Friday after thanksgiving (unfortunately my invitations were printed and entertainment had been booked). Needless to say, I spent $1300.00 in entertainment and the other party enjoyed my planned event of entertainment on me (we ended up with 2 DJ). 404 management refused to compensate me (except for half of my expenses for my DJ) and so did the party plan Al Winters. Needless to say the other party became rude during my live music concert of a local artist, and a verbal altercation began. Both parties were separated by my personal security that I hired. My night ended with me in tears and both parties eventually leaving the facility irate . 404 profited from all of the drinks bought and made out well. I would not recommend this venue to anyone. The leadership is greedy and does not have any integrity. Direct owner include Henrik and senior operation Benny. The rude and petty bar manager name is T.J. These individuals and this business need to be closed down for their business practices and lack of integrity. Just know if you plan an event or gathering there, there is a chance that they will double book you at the last minute and play you financially. The only reason they receive one star is because the system requires it. read more

I got pretty excited that a bar opened up down the street that looked pretty decent so decided to check it out. The place is nice and everyone was really friendly but I was pretty disappointed that they didn't have any beer on draft. Why bother going to a bar if all of the beer is in a bottle? I forgot to ask our waiter about that, but it's possible that they are working on it and will have it eventually. They also had signs on the walls for a number of smaller breweries, but didn't actually carry any of their beer. That was another disappointment, but hopefully that's another situation that's getting worked out as I type. The other thing was that I ordered a bottle of Lagunitas IPA and it was $6.50 - for a bottle! I'm not talking about a big bottle either, just a regular 12oz bottle. Seeing as I could just go down the street and pick up a 6-pack for $8-$9, that's extremely expensive. I also didn't have any food, but I've heard good things about it. Anyway, I don't mean to bash the place. I really hope it does well and I will be back, but I hope they have more reasonably priced and draft beer when I do. Otherwise, I'll just have to grab a beer elsewhere. read more

I went with friends and the music was great! Then i got food poisoned eating chicken nachos! So this made my night horrible. Servers were very cool but throwing up and bowels and weak for days wasn't a good feeling at all! read more

Bar always smells. No air conditioning. Bar closes at random times. Staff used to be cool but all gone now.

The drinks are reasonable, the bar staff is great, and the food is decent, but the reason why I will not be returning is the owner. My friend and I went to the bar last night to get a couple of drinks, catch up, and watch the baseball game, and at least 4 times during the couple of hours that we were at the bar, a guy kept walking up, creepily leaning into our space, and interrupting our conversation to try to start a new one about something to do with him. I was not subtle about not wanting to talk to him, and he was aware, in fact he made a comment about it every time he interrupted us, as though he thought it amusing I didn't want him to talk to me, and that is why he kept doing it. The last time he jumped into our conversation unwanted he felt the need to tell us he was the owner of the bar, as though that made it acceptable that he was harassing us. So while I have enjoyed visiting that bar several times over the past few months, I will now be taking my business elsewhere. Preferably to a bar where the owner doesn't like to creep on paying customers that just want to be left alone. read more

Love this place although some of the clientele are sketchy. For instance, last night this weird little dude with a Jew-fro stuck his finger in my sister's mouth and tried to make out with her daughter. Not cool. Then he puked all over the plant in the corner. Except for that though, the place has a great ambiance. read more
