This is such a fun hidden gem in the Nations! I love how interactive they are with the community by having different game nights like trivia! The service itself was relatively quick and the staff was kind. The pricing was also great for a delicious pulled pork sandwich coming with sides of cole slaw and fries. This was the perfect cozy meal to enjoy here in the South and is packed with tons of flavor. The BBQ flavor in the pork was seamless with a nice meaty flavor without too much fat. The fries were also a really fun shape being flat and wide which had the perfect amount of softness and crispiness. The star for me was the outdoor patio with a big screen to watch the games! 10/10 vibes I'll definitely be back! read more

I've enjoyed coming here for 10 years, and the beer is pretty good. The Bravazzi hard italian sodas are fantastic for non beer drinkers. I like the mexican style cerveza the best. The food is pretty decent and reasonably priced. I like their burger and portions are large. I do think there is some deferred maintenance that needs some attention, especially in the outdoor area. It's a great place for families, but some of those tables outside are pretty rickety and the lawn games are in bad condition. Also have noticed the last two times that inside it doesn't smell so great. We will still frequent this place. There is lots of potential for this to be the best brewery spot in Nashville. read more

The staff was very friendly, welcoming and attentive. The Mac and cheese is delicious and very rich, I wish it came with a protein option, a blacken chicken or even side of broccoli would be great to balance the richness of the the flavor but it is very good. Small parking lot which is free. Great chill spot to go alone or with a group! read more

It had been a while since my last visit. Was taking care of some business on this side of town and decided to stop by and see what was new. Was pleasantly surprised to learn they offered beer flights. Smaller portioned pours to give one a bit more variety to perhaps discover a new favorite. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Yard games available for entertainment. DJ was onsite upon this visit providing the music to liven up the atmosphere. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Fat Bottom Brewing yet! This is one of my favorite local spots ... simply because it's so much more than a brewery. Yes - they do have great craft beer, but they also have incredibly tasty food, a dog-friendly beer garden, and a wonderful presence in the Nations community. I've eaten here several times, and my go-to for lunch is the Karen wrap with sweet potato fries. It's packed full of grilled chicken and fresh veggies - and is just the right size for a light but still filling lunch. My husband and I also quite enjoy their burgers and the Bavarian pretzel sticks. Beer gardens and pretzels go hand in hand, and Fat Bottom does theirs exceptionally well. If you can't find parking in their attached lot, street parking is easy to access. I've always had attentive and personable servers - whether I'm sitting outside or bellying up to the bar. My favorite brew is the "Jackie" which is their fall staple. It's sippable and seasonal  - everything you want in a pumpkin beer. I'm also a big fan of Bravazzi, which isn't beer, but is the perfect bevvie for summertime. read more

We came here for trivia night, which was fun! They have different themes on different days. There is plenty of seating. They have both indoor and outdoor portion (outdoor has some games, cornhole etc). Lots of street parking in the area. The servers are super friendly and check in with you often. read more

This review is for their Santa Brunch! The brunch gets 4 stars BUT the staff gets a 5 ! This was such a fun experience! As you walk in there is Santa and fake snow from Santa's fabulous decked out truck! The host that greeted us was such a nice guy and promptly sat us down and explained everything! The space is their banquet space which is fantastic for this type of event. Linens on the table and a mix of small and large tables! The space is festive, which includes Christmas tree and a couch for Santa and Mrs Claus to take photos and give a treat to the kiddos! You can purchase beer, wine, mimosas and fabulous drinks! The drinks looked so good and literally Christmas in a cup! I had their Winter Cider and it was fantastic. The food was good. Breakfast favorites including biscuits and gravy , small Belgian waffles and pancakes, carving station with a complete accompaniment of side dishes and salad, and an omelette station. You won't go hungry here. Bacon was serious bacon! Prime Rib was good but a little on the cold side. Lots to choose from, so if there is something that doesn't work for you, you'll find something! The staff is completely awesome! Attentive - checking in if you need a drink, clearing dishes off your table or just ready for a quick holiday chat! The carving staffer was so nice too! But Santa and Mrs. Claus were the showstoppers! OMG both worked the room all kids and families felt specials! Also pics came out really good and he would even let a parent know you might want to take a photo & guess what...Santa was right! Plus outside there were some photo opps with decorations, corn hole m, jenga and connect four! So much fun! Plus kids got a cute little activity bag and markers on the table. Our little didn't event want a tablet and ate everything off his plate! We will definitely be back next year! read more

Got a quick bite and beer after a long day of traveling. We sat outdoors, which was an enjoyable environment. No tv's outdoors, however, and ordering from a QR code is standard for each table. Server was sweet and helped us when needed. We ordered pretzels and beer cheese for the table which was good! Beer cheese was great. My partnered ordered a salad and the music city light beer which he really enjoyed. I ordered 3 piece chicken tender basket. Small chicken pieces but was perfect for a small meal. Overall positive experience and would come again. read more

For anyone who is a lover of craft beer, a beautiful outdoor patio, delicious food, and a dog friendly establishment -- Fat Bottom Brewing has to be added to your travel itinerary. The patio has plenty of picnic benches and ample water stations for humans and fur babies alike. What really stood out to me was their food menu. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries and I was in heaven with each bite. Their pretzels and beer cheese were perfect. The team here is super friendly and very informative. Opted for their hazy IPA and it was brewed so nicely. read more

If you are traveling to Nashville with kids, you should definitely check out Fat Bottom. There were lots of families sitting around us. We started with beer flights. I got 2 hard Italian sodas with mine. You have to try the blood orange! We shared two wraps. The chipotle wrap was ok. It could use more sauce. The knock out wrap was flavorful. My picky toddler enjoyed the kids pizza. The weather was a little chilly when we went, but they do have a great patio! read more

PROS: - Great environment for drinking - Plenty of room inside and outside to hang out, drink and play games CONS: - Waited around to be seated. Had to go to a table to see you have to scan in and seat yourself - Server has too large of a section to serve - Server stood at the bar talking to a customer for a long time - Food was warm, not hot - Food taste was OK - Confusion with staff. Told they were out of ice cream and would take it off our bill. Another server showed up with it without the Carmel drizzle we selected. 10 minutes later another server came up with the dessert. - The cookies were hard. Assumed they would be soft and warm. - Asked for a to go cup. The server never came back and instead stood at the bar talking with another customer for a long time so I dumped my ice out and put it in my cup. SUM: This place is probably good to just drink and hangout. However, I now know why places like this in my home state stick to the alcohol and instead schedule food trucks for the food portion. This place needs to take the food and service more seriously. We were let down. read more

Went to Fat Bottom on a Friday night and sat outside, they had trivia going on but there was no issue finding a table! I love the convenience of their ordering system and everything came out fast! The pretzels and beer cheese were really good- and I loved the chicken tenders & sweet potato fries. I will definitely be back! read more

fat Bottom Brewing is so underrated!! There is so much seating- indoor, outdoor, two big areas, plus the upstairs! We went recently to watch my college play basketball. We got the whole upstairs to ourselves. It was cool to see the brewery in action with the windows into where the action happens. The only thing Ive had to eat here were the pretzel sticks. They were good but be prepared for a very buttery/oily taste. Service was super friendly! You can order from a QR code at your table and they will bring your food or drinks, or you can order at the bar. read more

Nice place for a drink, however, the lunchtime menu was small with limited choices for someone who doesn't want a sandwich and tater tots. Don't think we will go back. The bartender was knowledgeable about the beer selections, and they did have wine. read more

Gleeful Meeple hosted a really fun game night at Fat Bottom Brewing. It was the perfect venue since we were able to get a private room for everyone. The service was very nice and helpful. For drinks we ordered the Bravazzi Blood Orange Hard Soda and the Blackberry hug. The drinks were both good, but I would definitely be curious to try something different next time. We also got the fries platter which came with regular fries, sweet potato fries, and tater tots. There is also pretty easy parking outside which is very helpful! read more

Went to Fat Bottom for Burger Week. It was my first time, but will definitely be back. Cool vibe and great service (and also a great burger). Our server also brought us a complimentary appetizer which was super kind! They've also got a great kids menu so I can bring my kids (and they said kids eat free on Wednesday). There is an outdoor area, too. read more

Fat Bottom Brewing - Beer cheese! These fries were delicious. - Breweries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tator tots. The sandwich was great, lots of meat on it. More so Smokey than hot but still great. The tots were good, I like mine a little crisper but the sandwich made up for it, so if you're like me mention that when you order. They were a little slower but good service. I'm not a drinker but the bartenders did great at carding everyone which is always nice to see. nice outdoor area. good vibes and good experience. Parking is very limited. So plan accordingly but they do offer parking which is more than others can say. Overall, friendly service, good food and could park my mega cab. read more

Went for our first time today to try the "Burger Week" $7 burger...it was delicious! Looked like a handmade patty - super juicy! The beer cheese is to die for (and I'm a WI cheesehead). Got a side of Brussels with mine. Tasty!!! Service was awesome! We will make it back to try other items in the future read more

Made a brunch reservation for a Sunday at 10:30am. After arriving we were told that they did not have brunch nor were they serving most of their menu. Our only food options were sandwiches or salads. The manager told us they only do brunch on Holidays, however all the marketing says it's Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30-2pm. Seemed like a great place to hang out and had lots of drink options, just wish that they're information was accurate so we could have enjoyed what we came for. read more

I have to go up to a "5" because what really stands out about Fat Bottom now, especially, is the great value they offer. Happy hours with $4 beers? $6 beers when they're on regular pricing, even if it's a stronger brew? And not doing a half pour for said stronger brews (Imperials, etc.)? To go craft beer 6-packs for $6-$8?! Complimentary house made potato chips at the bar? In a local landscape where some others charge double for far less quality, these folks stand out. read more

Somehow haven't made it to Fat Bottom and not sure why not. Beers are good, service is fast and friendly, there's an arcade, and even a happy hour! Found a couple beers I really liked after two flights and had some pleasantly surprising awesome wings (crispy, a little charred in a good way). Definitely coming back! Happy hour (as of Jan 2024): M-F 4-6p - 2 for 1 drafts - $9 flights - $15 Music City Light pitchers - $20 all other pitchers - $20 Bravazzi (hard soda) carafes - $8-9 wines read more

A friend and I tried the Elevated Date Night Experience and it was so fun and tasty! I wasn't sure what to expect but we were impressed with food, cocktails, and the wonderful service. The tasting board had an attractive array of interesting bites and there was a great selection of entrees and desserts. My sea bass was cooked perfectly and my friend loved her NY strip and had plenty to take home. Great experience; I would do it again! read more

We came to Fat Bottom Brewing for their (free) musical trivia night. My initial impression after seeing all the cars in the parking lot was, "Wow, I hope we can find a table!" Despite all of the cars, we found a parking spot immediately. Fat Bottom Brewing is very spacious, and after being warmly welcomed, we luckily found a table right up near the speakers and emcee. I was really impressed by all the space to hang out, which included an awesome patio filled with games (including a really cool giant Connect 4 game). We ordered the flatbread pizza which which I thought was fantastic. It was piping hot, despite some other reviewers saying their food was cold. We are not drinkers, but I'm sure there are other reviewers who can speak for their brewery selections. Our waitress was *very* attentive and pleasant and even offered to give us to-go refills on our sodas, which was a nice touch. The musical trivia (Singo) was an absolute blast, in part because of the full house of people having fun and singing along. The vibe was just really cool in there. The emcee for the musical trivia was most excellent, and I was pleased to hear that she would be there for musical trivia every week! We will definitely be back for musical trivia and the awesome food and atmosphere! I highly recommend it! read more

Loved this place!! Brandon was awesome!! We had so much and they had a great variety of drinks. Enjoyed everything! 100/10

I came during a Tuesday and a beautiful spring day where I was sitting out in their massive patio area. The parking is pretty easy since they have a designated lot and with this location being in the Nations there is tons of street parking within the neighborhood. When sitting outside in the patio area you are able to scan a QR code and order from your phone and checkout via your phone. This is awesome way to not leave the table and still get great service. As a girl that does not drink beers I was very excited that this brewery sells bravazzi an Italian hard soda - I was in heaven. I have not had their food but heard great reviews, will be back to try it myself! read more

Fat Bottom Brewing - Great times with great people at Fat bottom brewing - Breweries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Hello all! My wife and I had our daughter's wedding reception here. Fat Bottom did a GREAT job hosting the event. Beverages were cold and flowing, food was excellent (brisket/chicken alfredo/pasta/roasted brussel sprouts/salad/biscuits) and FBB timed everything out very well. All of the food was well prepared and presented. Exceeded our expectations! The space appeared clean and ALL employees were friendly and welcoming. It was a HOT day but FBB kept everything cool and comfortable. They genuinely seemed to care about our satisfaction. I would recommend this place HIGHLY for an event. We had visited a few times prior and always had a good time. Worth a visit just for the beer! I enjoy red ales and their 'ruby red' was outstanding. We have also been to FBB in the past just for the beer and snacks. Enjoyed it every time. Friendly bartender and quality, cold beer. Enjoyed the environment as well. HIGHLY recommended. Just go, you will be happy! read more

Fat Bottom Brewing is a local Nashville born and brewed Brewery that features a full service tap room, amazing outdoor space and rentable event space...all located in The Nations! We popped in on a Thursday night for a quick beer and dinner, and to our surprise this was trivia night, so the taproom was packed with a lively crowd battling it out for trivia supremacy. Since we showed up too late, we grabbed a high-top at the top of the ramp near the arcade games, which was close enough to still pretend to participate, but far enough away to not pay super close attention. Beer wise they brew all the classics from a Red Ale, Pale Ale, Nitro Stout, IPA to Blonde Ale, which happens to be my go-to...the ole Sandy Blonde Ale! But additionally, they also do specialty and seasonal beers including a pumkin ale! While we don't always eat when we come by, this evening we did. Their food menu is standard American fare, but is pretty large for a taproom. We have had a few of the appetizers with the pretzels and beer cheese being a favorite. This latest trip found us both getting chicken sammies...one fried and the other grilled. I decided against the "hot" this time and I wish I wouldn't have, as the fried chicken sandwich was extra bland without the seasoning. Tender and crispy, yes...flavorful, no. Lesson learned. The tots were on point though. Service is usually pretty solid with no issues. Parking can be a struggle if you are looking to do the taproom and they have an event going on as the dedicated lot fills up quick. Luckily, the area has a lot of street parking, but be prepared to walk a block or two. Overall, we enjoy Fat Bottom and will certainly be back! read more

We had my husband's birthday party here. We were so grateful by such a lenient and kind staff who allowed us to have a big party to celebrate him. I was able to put down some tablecloths, bring my own cake, and they treated us with such great service as I know we had a very big group. This made the whole experience really wonderful! I love the non-beer options they have. Their food was absolutely delicious. Some of the best tots I've had! read more

This is the best place to grab a beer on the patio with some friends and your dog. They have a full menu and great beers. Vibes: Plenty of seating inside and out. Your can play corn-hole, and they have picnic tables outside, so you can bring your puppy pals with you. Beers: Awesome beers, but I wish they had more on variety on rotation. I'd like to see more experimental stuff since we're local and visit a lot. Nothing they make is really a unique style to Fat Bottom. Food: This is why I docked it a star, the food is just okay. If you get a burger with sauce, ask for the sauce on the side so you can add more to your burger. See Exhibit A pic... It's an okay option if you're out for beers and need something to eat while you're there. But, I don't come here for just the food. Service: Amazing as always. They were friendly and willing to answer our questions. read more

Upon arrival, you see the patio which is large, dog friendly, and has cornhole boards. Walking into the door, they have a whole merch wall with some pretty cool designs. They also have a vending machine of rubber ducks which is awesome. For the food, the brisket mac and cheese was honestly a 6/10. The brisket was real dry, but the noodles somewhat made up for it. Wouldn't order it again though. The cider I must say was delicious. I would order that again no doubt. I would probably return here, next time order a few appetizers and ciders and play some cornhole. read more
