    Had fun here! Not a very big bar but enjoyed it here. We loved looking around at the patches trying to find some from our home state of Michigan, found quite a few! The band that was playing was great. Friendly doorman and staff. Great drinks! Will come back next time we are in Nashville.

    Bennett Riviera was one of our favorite places to spend a few hours on Broadway. The entertainment there was great I wish I could remember the name of the band playing, but the singer was more than just a singer. He was an absolute entertainer and made it extremely difficult to leave the place. He was very talented and was fun and engaged the crowd. The staff there was also amazing our bartender Mary was just the best. She was very friendly and engaging and was carrying the weight of the entire bar herself without skipping a beat. We were looking for a little snack to hold us over and got the chili pie and it was the best ever. We wound up going back multiple times because it felt like the best place to spend your time can't wait to go back.

    Exactly what a proud American bar should be. First responder patches line the walls. Band was absolutely on point. Had a few drinks -then the band broke into the "Pledge of Allegiance" . Felt great and proud in this bar.

    We really enjoyed this bar on Broadway. Mainly because they support law enforcement, first responders, and military. There are patches everywhere that have been given to them to hang. The respect is second to none. We came fairly late one evening and it was more to end the night. So we didn't venture beyond the first floor. It was packed down there and the live music was amazing. Small space for some folks to dance around. Bartender was very helpful and clearly slammed with orders but moved through things quickly. Very impressive. Definitely check this place out. We plan to go back.

    I had a shot of Red Neck whiskey and some Guinness. My wife had the biggest mimosa I have EVER SEEN. Even at the mid day hour it was fun. The bartender was good and helpful. The band was fun too. They took requests and were just nice!

    Quite the man! Honky Tonk/restaurant Boots, apparel, beef, jerky, and let's not forget about that Redneck whiskey, you can find in Costco and Walmart around the United States! My favorite saying save a horse ride a cowboy . I love that!!! Good times in this Honky Tonk ! Five star

    First visit here. Felt very comfortable there, John Rich really supports our police & first responders & our military. His whiskey is quite good & we had some quesadillas, that were really good & hot & cheesy goodness. They have some cool merchandise also.

    Fun time, good bands. This bar is small and has a backyard feel to it. The walls are covered in police and firefighter badges from all over the country. We found one from our hometown. Strong supporters of first responders, police and firefighters. Very patriotic. This place gets crowded in waves. Only one bartender was behind the bar when we'd were there, she was great but could have used a hand.

    Had a fun time at JRRR in downtown Nashville. We stopped in almost every night for a cold beer and great music. We listened to several great local talent Country Western groups. The staff was nice, to us, but both of us also felt a tad unsafe as the staff did get rather rude and pushy with several different people over IDs on our 1st and 4th night visiting. Overall we enjoyed JRRR's.

    Not a fan. First off they have beer signs in the restaurant and only had 1 IPA. The ipa was good…read moreI'll give them that. The menu is limited it's very sport bar kind of food. I ordered the wrap, all the ingredients tasted fresh but the wrap tasted very much like a gas station wrap. The turkey in it was not good and tasted cheap and old. The fries on the other hand were pretty good. The Mac and cheese was also very creamy and good. Service was absolutely terrible. When I ordered an IPA I just asked her to get me whatever she recommended. Her response was "I don't know I hate IPAs" okay, can't you ask a bartender for dealers choice. Ridiculous. We didn't great our drink order until sitting for 30 mins. We didn't get our food order for almost an hour after sitting and instead of asking us what we wanted to order they just came by to take the menus. I had to say "can't we order food" which made them stop and take our order. Terrible, terrible service. I've had better food, I'd go elsewhere.

    Good food in an ideal location for pregame festivities…read more Stopped here to have an early dinner before Titans game. My friends and I sat outside and although it took awhile for our waitress to find us & get our food & drink orders I wouldn't fault them as it was packed prior to the game. I had the cheese curds as an app (large portions & very good) & the honey barbecue chicken tenders with fries. I wasn't a huge fan of the fries as they are thick and square cut which isn't my favorite style, but the chicken tenders were some of the best I have had. No stringy bits you often get at restaurants, just good fresh tasting chicken. Sauce was good as well. Would come back, the buffalo chicken chimichanga sounded really enticing

We tried a little bit of everything, and the food was really good. We picked up my gf mom at the airport and most restaurants are closed or limited menu. This is place is such a clutch. I had the egg rolls were delicious and probably one of my favorites. The pizza rolls were also good, cheesy, and perfect for sharing. The salad was fresh and surprisingly great, my gf mom really enjoyed it. the smashed burger was really solid with a soft bun, good toppings, i had the smashed burger and bacon jam. Could use more bacon jam though. It came with fries the fries came out looking soggy but the waiter was 100% she saw it and took it back and it came out crispy . My gf enjoyed her brussels sprouts and pizza rolls. Everything came out looking good and tasted fresh. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, but it is definitely loud, so keep that in mind if you're wanting a quiet dinner. Overall, it's a great late-night spot with good food, good portions, and a lively vibe.

Once they did, we got our drinks, appetizers & food pretty quickly. The place is nice, stylish & more importantly it seems clean. The food was mostly okay. I had the Mango Salmon & that tasted okay (salmon needed more flavor), we also ordered the Cob salad with fried chicken (which was delicious), the chicken teriyaki bowl (it's pretty big) & the mac & cheese (smaller than expected). We also had the guacamole & chips (great guac) & the fried pickles (good & different). Overall, I would recommend them for family & all get togethers

    Not sure what all these high falutin corn pones are crying about. Its a dive sportsbar. In madison…read more With CHEAP ass drinks. C'mon people. This is actually one of my main joints. They have outdoor volleyball, huge outdoor seating/patio area, with cornhole. It sometimes looks like the aftermath of a rush week frat party, but that just means people were raging the night before and you missed out. Amirite? They've got 2 pool tables, snack candy food dispenser, video poker, jukebox, AND several old school arcade machines. They had them before all the hipster barcades started too popping up too, talk about OG bar fun I tell you. They have a deadbeat DJ playing top 40s and decent hiphop on weekends, with a solid sound system and great acoustics for the venue because of its lodge-esq feel and open air wooded infastructure. The fact that it turns into a dance club atmosphere with bass booms, lasers lights, and low lighting is a nice breath of fresh air compared to the honkey skonk suet downtown. Nothing special, just a nice dance club dive at night. This atmosphere also attracts hoodwinks, so be warned. Theyre all honestly harmless as long as youre not acting like a complete doucet - or wearing a certain gang color (sarcasm?). For demographics, this bar is par for the course in its neck of the woods. I hate that they dont serve drinks in real glasses though, only plastic. Theyve got a wide variety of TVs, not the biggest, but they do the job. They also have poker on Wednesday nights. The food is pretty decent, they actually use a grill. The grilled chicken sandwich is actually curiously fantastic.

    What a total shithole. I went here once and that was all I needed. I'll never set foot in there…read moreagain. The food is awful, the customers and pure trash, and the bartenders are really good at putting their bodies on display to earn a few extra bucks. If you have any self respect, stay away.
