I've had 51 North at a few events around town, and always enjoy their food! Their menu is very accommodating as well, with vegan, gluten-free, and even kid-friendly options. A group of three of us stopped in on a Monday night after a long day working an event, and were notified that they'd just updated their hours! We still had 30 minutes until the kitchen closed, but I might have selected somewhere else if I had known, since I hate to be that person that's ordering their food while the team is trying to close up shop. Even still, the service was great, and our orders were delivered quickly and with care. While I know they have tasty burgers, I wasn't super hungry on this visit, so I ordered a couple of sides. Their French fries are delicious, and their housemade ranch is the perfect pairing. Their steamed broccoli also hit the spot (it's about balance, after all!) I'll definitely be back to dine in again later this summer ... their patio is beautiful and covered, and their happy hour deals are awesome for the neighborhood too. read more

Stopped in for my first time to try their hot chicken special. It's an open, comfortable spot & seems like a great place to meet up with friends & watch some sports. Everyone I encountered was kind. I'll have to come back to give the food another try, though. The hot chicken sandwich didn't taste as advertised. I didn't taste any lemon pepper & flavor was missing in general. Since it was a special, I want to taste their staples. There's free parking on the street & next to the building. read more

In the area caring for a loved one in a local hospital and stumbled upon this place . Had a lovely lunch, beers and appetizers here. Staff were great and the food was phenomenal! Will definitely be back. read more

Great staff, great beer selection, variety of food items, nice place to meet friends.

Lamb chops in the nations! Its super close to home and is a great vibe. I like the beer selection also!

We stopped in for a drink before going to dinner. No reservations but we were seated quickly. Vibe is nice and I'd say this would be a really fun place to watch a game or come with friends for a happy hour. It looks like they have a lot of great HH specials. We ordered the cocktail special, one with alcohol, and one mocktail. It was disappointing that the mocktail was the same cost as the one with alcohol. They tasted great though! We also had chips and queso. The taste was nice but the queso was cold. Overall, the service was lovely and our experience was fine. I've heard that it's a great place so we'll try again, because I saw other peoples food and it did look tasty! read more

Service was good, my husband really liked his sandwich and he is hard to please with that... I also just really loved the ambiance and would definitely go back read more

Decided to stop by for what we thought was going to be good food according to the reviews. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The atmosphere is clean and friendly. Staff and the waiter were professional and personable. We ordered some wings with chimichurri and two cocktails (autumn sangria and fall fashion). The wings were beautifully cooked but tasteless. It was extremely disappointing. The cocktails were wonderful. We also ordered the gnocchi, Mac & cheese, and steak street tacos. The gnocchi itself was tasty but the sauce and veggies were bland. The street tacos were good, but not great. My partner was so disappointed over his Mac--flavorless. If it weren't for staff and the drinks, i would've given this place one star :( read more

I really like the unexpected variety of the menu here, there's really something for everyone. I stuck with a classic but my friend is a vegetarian and loves the tempeh wings. The servers are also all so nice and accommodating which is always a good sign. Lots of tables inside and out - parking can be a little tricky but at night the business around are closed and you can usually park there if needed read more

Lackluster and disappointing food. If you go for beer and watching sports you'll be fine.

The food was delicious. Some of the best local brews I've had! Very inviting and comforting ambiance. Great service. read more

This was my first time coming to 51 North Taproom and I had a good time! The service was decent, food was fun and prices were reasonable. My burger was cooked absolutely perfectly - a huge deal for me - and the fries were so tasty I almost ate every single one. An easy place to grab a bite, a chill environment - you'll be happy you popped in! read more

Came here for the first time based on a recommendation from a friend. We were seated pretty quickly and I was pleased to see some families with kids- glad that folks with little ones are able to enjoy a place that isn't just strictly a bar. GF and I shared some oysters to start- amazingly fresh and I could have easily eaten another dozen! She had the kale salad and seemed to enjoy it quite a bit! I got the fish and chips which were a bit of a disappointment. The fries were cold- except for the ones that must have come in contact with the fish when it was plated. The fish itself was reminiscent of some frozen fish sticks. Good portion, but pretty flavorless. Almost as if someone forgot to salt them. Definitely worth another try as this place seems popular and i may just need to try some of the other menu options. read more

51 North Taproom was this week's choice for date night, and it was absolutely wonderful! I started with a spicy margarita and had the nachos with spicy beef as my entree. The marg was delicious, and the nachos were incredible. They did not skimp on the toppings! I liked that the jalapeños were on the side, as the spicy beef alone was the perfect spice level for me. My boyfriend had the 51 N Cobb Salad and it looked amazing! He opted for one of the local drafts, they have an extensive list of them. The service was just as wonderful as the food! Our waitress was attentive, and we received our food and drinks quickly. The service alone makes me excited to return. read more

First time in to the 51 North Taproom for dinner. Was there pleasantly surprised by the service, as well as the great tasting food and drinks. I had a local draft beer from their extensive beer list paired with their 51st salad which was delicious (see picture). Moving to the nations soon so excited to be able to come back on a regular basis! read more

I came here without any expectations. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food, book, atmosphere, and service. I got their chicken tacos which were decent street tacos. I think it was missing something to give it a less dry taste. The tortillas were quite dry as well as the best itself. Their verde salsa doesn't have much spice to it. It would be great if they served this with a more watery, spicier salsa, or even a nice juicy, blistered, whole jalapeño would be great as well. We also got their fish and chips, which were awesome. The fish was so tender and juicy, and the fries were fried perfectly. The best part is their homemade tartar sauce which is a little chunky and spicy! I could eat the sauce alone and be content. They have a ton of beers, including 2-for-1 beers on Mondays, which is when we came. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. I really enjoyed this restaurant as it had really solid food, and the experience was fantastic. read more

They only offer beer from major breweries. Most of what they serve you can get at the grocery. Very few if any small or local breweries are represented here. read more

On our recent trip to Nashville, we stayed in the nearby Sylvan Heights neighborhood and were looking for a chill neighborhood spot with a patio to grab a drink and dinner at...and we found just that in 51 North Taproom! 51 North, which is the sister restaurant to the long standing 12 South Taproom and Grill in downtown, is located in The Nations part of the city and not only features a decent sized and well laid out patio (which is dog friendly!), but also a large, open indoor dining and taproom if outside isn't your vibe. They have about 32 rotating taps, several of which are local brews, along with a wide variety of cans and bottles and if beer isn't your thing they also have a full bar and specialty cocktail list. Food wise, they don't really have a particular variety of food they serve...the menu is a mix of all types from your standard burgers and sandwiches to pizza, quesadillas, tacos, oysters, pork loin, lamb, grits, collard greens and even poutine! Basically there is something here for every person in your party! We started our meal out with the Smoke Gouda Queso, which honestly was a little underwhelming. It was decent queso, but nothing we would order again. For dinner we got the 51 North Cobb and the Gobblin Goat sandwich. The salad was hefty in size and well put together. It was a nice cobb salad with a southeastern flare with the pico, corn salad and spicy ranch. The Gobblin Goat is their version of a turkey sandwich with spiced goat cheese along with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. It was a solid sandwich! I sided it with the sautéed green beans, which were okay. Service was decent, our server seemed to have an attitude and really wasn't for us asking questions about the menus. It wasn't rude, but you could tell he was ready for the day to be over. We just made sure to be purposeful during his visits to the table. Overall, we enjoyed 51 North Taproom and it is definitely on our "visit again" list for future visits, especially when we stay on this side of the city! read more

This place has been here for a while, but while looking for something different while riding through the nations we "yelped" this place and decided to give it a try. The host and wait staff were very prompt, welcoming, and informative when inquiring about the items as this was the first time in this establishment. On Saturdays their brunch lasts until 4pm, which is great for the late risers. They also offer $2 off for ordering local canned beers. Their beer menu is endless, so many to choose from. We ordered a jackelope bearwalker and yazoo dos perros, both were really good. It wasn't our first time having these though! The menu had a wide variety of options and our server recommended quite a few things, which lead us to the chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was seasoned perfectly and was tender, but only complaint is with every bite the breading separated from the chicken. Which made the sandwich a little too messy for my liking. Don't get me wrong, it still was very good. Fries were cooked perfectly with the right amount of crisp and salted perfectly for flavoring. The queso dip and Mac and cheese are both gouda based that lacked flavoring big time. Overall, I would recommend this place and will return one day to try out their oysters. read more

Finally had a chance to stop in here and glad we did! Service was fantastic and they provide some great beer recommendations. Good selection of local beers! The Bloody Mary was delicious and spicy. Started with the mussels and the broth was fantastic! Probably some of the best mussels I have had locally. Fresh oysters were fresh and delicious! Again, probably best I have had locally. Fish & Chips were okay. Chips were fantastic and the fish itself was delicious. The fish breading was a little heavy for me - almost like a giant fish stick and took away from the fish (everyone has their own preference - I like a lighter batter), but it was delicious. Our little one had the grilled cheese - no complaints and it was the cheesiest! The place itself is fun and lively. Lots of TVs around and great patio area. Plus they have this cool little corner with a couch and tv that seems cozy! I will say all their food and drinks were delicious and overall a fantastic experience! read more

My women's and nonbinary ultimate frisbee team and I needed a pick-me-up this weekend. We'd just finished off a crucial second game of our double-header against the Nashville Nightshade with a coveted win of 19-14, having compartmentalized an upsetting loss against Atlanta Soul just the night before. Two years ago, we'd celebrated this win a little too hard by spiking White Claws in our venue's locker rooms. So, we only had a quick 15 minutes to shower, get changed, and get a move on. We were in search of drinks and food--nothing too deep. 51 North Taproom had just what we needed. I'm the kind of player who has no idea how much of an appetite I've worked up by playing semi-professional ultimate frisbee, in the heat, and on turf until I have that first bite in my body. Boy was I DELIGHTED to see that the kid's meal chicken quesadilla* I ordered was as generously sized as it was priced. My fellow D Line handler also ordered a kid's meal plate of buttered noodles with chicken. We relished in nourishing our bodies, preparing them for whatever liquid celebrations would chug in the few hours before our flight home. After a meal well-served, our checks were quickly taken care of, thanks to our attentive server. I'm sitting here on the ambient front step of the establishment, waiting for the team to deliberate what our next move is. What I do NOT need time to deliberate on is giving this fine establishment 5 Stars for fair pricing, satisfying quality, and attentive service. * I will say, I ordered a side of (Gouda?) Mac and cheese, and the first bite was jarringly unique. It eventually grew onto me. But be warned: this is NOT your ordinary cheddar Mac n cheese read more

We were fortunate to eat outside last week with our dog in the covered patio. Our service was great and attentive. I started with a glass of their Pinot Noir and thought it was good. For entrees, I had the Falconburgh with smoked chicken. I thought it was delicious - and quite large. My husband got the Nations Melt and also really enjoyed it. We're only in Nashville for a short amount of time so unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to go back but I definitely recommend the place. read more

My friend recommended this spot so we went to give it a try! The menu has lots of options and the specials were plentiful. Also, every day seems to have a drink special as well! It was hard to pick what to eat, but our server was knowledgeable and helped direct us. My friend got the gnocchi special and I tried a bit, it was yummy! I got the crispy shrimp tacos, but subbed the fried shrimp for grilled shrimp. I wasn't super hungry, so this definitely did the trick. It had lots of colors on the plate and was packed with flavor. I would definitely recommend both of these dishes. I look forward to going back here and trying some new menu items! read more

Highly recommend dining / brunch here. read more

Came in on Memorial Day to enjoy a drink and their patio seating. Server was super friendly and kept up for the most part even with him being busy.

Pretty much what you would expect. I had a burger and fries which was decent. Servers were a bit slow to service and forgot a thing or two, but were overall nice. The place had a fun vibe and if consider combing back if I wanted a chill place with decent food and decent drink specials. read more

The food is terrible. Do not come here, you WILL be disappointed. The collard greens are sour, the chicken is unseasoned, and the drinks are mediocre. The staff is nice and the ambiance of the restaurant is cool, but the food does not match. read more

What a great find! At 6 pm on a Sunday evening the restaurant was about a quarter full, and the wait staff was relaxed but just attentive enough. With plenty of space between tables, you actually have space to move and have conversations without feeling like everyone around is a member of your party. Prices are comparable to other casual dining restaurants in the area ($17 for fish and chips, $6-7 for a craft beer), but our food was not typical. The gnocchi with house-made bread was incredible, and the Falconburgh with ribeye and fish and chips entrees both got rave reviews. The Gouda appetizer was a little bland, so we would skip that next time, but 51 North will definitely go on our Nashville rotation. read more

My friend and I were just about at the end of our tethers. We'd been driving around Nashville neighborhoods for more than an hour, looking for somewhere to have brunch where there wasn't a massive line or $20 parking. Downtown was a bust. Hillsboro Village was a bust. Midtown was packed. The Gulch was a bust, so I did a search for near West. We ended up at 51 North Taproom. Never have we enjoyed such a fortuitous dart throw. Our server, Rachel B, was friendly, fast and helpful. I had "An Adult Beverage," a tasty combination of gin, prosecco and two bitter aperitifs. My friend had a satisfying mimosa and a good cup of coffee. She had a Taproom Breakfast Bowl, which she enjoyed a lot. I had the amazing Loaded Breakfast Fries, sans bacon. The gouda cheese sauce is to die for! It was a decadent, gooey, comforting treat and the meal completely restored us. Nice job, 51! You're a gem. read more

The ambience of the agement is great. The drinks prices were also reasonable, but I don't drink. The service could have been a little better, but I assume that this restaurant is understaffed.

I might try this establishment again however I definitely wouldn't order food. read more
