    Went to an event here and had a great time! Came when they were in the middle of trivia and it was super busy but the service and food was still fast/good! Love the big patio outside and the projector super cute.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Mood: love a good dog friendly spot! Really glad they have both indoor & outdoor space available. Such a lovely area. We started off with some craft beers and sweet potato fries 10/10 Wings: 8/10: super sweet but still delicious The wrap with tasty yet bland. Not a loads of flavor there 7/10 Would recommend due to friend and nice staff plus the allowance of your pup mate!

    Santa Brunch Menu - did not disappoint!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Upstairs!

    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.

    Beer cheese! These fries were delicious.

    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.

    Fries platter
    Reeta B.

    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!

The bar has two hidden TVs that you can only see when you sit at the bar, which is such a cool touch. It keeps the space feeling upscale without sacrificing the ability to catch a game. The overall ambiance is great, and the music is always at the perfect volume for an easy conversation. The drinks have been consistently excellent. We've tried both cocktails and wine, and everything has been delicious. The wine is a little overpriced in our opinion, but it was so good that I'm glad we still ordered it! On our most recent visit, we started with the burrata. It was very good, but I do wish there had been more sauce and more cantaloupe. The sauce felt more like an accent than something that really tied the dish together. That said, the perfect bite was definitely the burrata with the prosciutto and cantaloupe! For our entrees, Jonathan ordered the pork chop, and I had the piri piri chicken. Both came with broccolini and patatas bravas. I was expecting traditional Spanish-style patatas bravas, so when whole baby potatoes showed up, I was initially a little disappointed. Don't let that fool you, though--these potatoes were incredible!!! Crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and packed with flavor! They ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal! My piri piri chicken was fantastic! The portion was much larger than I expected, and the piri piri sauce served on the side was absolutely lick-the-plate good. I found myself dipping the potatoes and broccolini in it because it was just that delicious. Piri piri isn't something you come across often in Nashville, and The Finch absolutely nails it--and at a really reasonable price. Jonathan's pork chop was cooked perfectly with great flavor. It wasn't an over-the-top, show-stopping dish, but for around $30--including both sides--at a more upscale restaurant, it's hard to beat the value. One more recommendation: get the volcano rock shrimp. We had it on a previous visit, and we still talk about it! It's easily one of our favorite dishes we've had here. The Finch has been consistently good every time we've visited, and that's what keeps bringing us back! Great food, great drinks, a fun atmosphere, and solid value for the quality. We'll definitely be back again!

The lighting, furniture, and wallpaper all come together perfectly and give the space a really stylish but comfortable vibe. There's also plenty of room inside, which makes it easy to relax without feeling cramped. Now let's talk about the food... because wow. We started with the fried pickles and they were some of the best I've had. The dipping sauce wasn't your typical ranch (I forgot to ask what it was), but whatever magic they put in it worked it was absolutely delicious. Then we moved on to the burgers. We tried the Juicy Burger and it truly lives up to the name. Every single bite was worth it. I personally had the Jalapeño Burger and let me tell you... get ready for some heat. If you're not used to spicy food, this one might test your limits. But the flavor was incredible. You could really taste that the burger was grilled, and it gave it that perfect smoky, savory flavor that makes a great burger stand out. The drinks were also fantastic. They have a huge selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. I had one of their mezcal cocktails and it was bartender's kiss. I also tried a couple of their spirits and everything was on point. Another thing I really appreciated was the noise level. There's music playing, but it's not overwhelming, you can still actually have a conversation without yelling across the table. That's always a win. They also have a nice outdoor patio if you want to sit outside. We went during the week, so it was lively but comfortable. I can only imagine this place really gets going on the weekends. If you're in town and looking for amazing food, great drinks, and a cool atmosphere, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

The core of the beer is still there, but the vibes and a few of the beers are a bit different. This taproom, near the corner of 51st and Centennial, is a small, but mighty space featuring a cozy and vibey inside and a nice patio. Both spaces are outfitted with a variety of seating from standard to cozy to bar stools and high tops. We have enjoyed drinks here on a few occasions since the rebrand and somehow the PB&J Mixtape always ends up in at least one of our hands! Majority of their beers lean fruit forward, but hey also have a few hoppy beers, and of course a couple of light and dark options. I go between something light and dark, and really enjoyed the Chop It Up, which is a house ale. Definitely will be my go-to here! In addition to all the goods on tap, they have a good variety of merch and canned beers that you can mix and match, or take a set of home. Service is solid, slightly hit and miss depending on the bartender. Some engage a bit more with you, especially if you are asking about the menu, others are a bit quick and want to keep things moving, which I can understand. The space is well laid out, but due its size, the front end can get backed up pretty easily as the ordering station is near the front of the bar, which is only a few feet from the entry door. So, be mindful when coming in. Even with lines, they move pretty quick, so never an issue beyond the initial back up. Overall, cool space, nice rebrand and a great spot for a good beer in The Nations!
