The four of us had drinks and dinner at Lona last night. Drinks at the bar were on point. The bartender Macie was exceptional! Dinner was great as well! Cassie was our server and was delightful! We had drinks from the happy hour menu (Palomas and Margaritas) and a couple of beginng bites. Do urself a favor and order the Esquites dip and chips as a starter...it was fabulous!! My Baha tacos were some of the best I've had recently, chicken tacos were also delicious. Friends had the Tortillia soup and Birria Quesedillia which they said was excellent. Overall service, food and experience were top notch. Completely exceeded.my expectations. Do urself a favor and give Lona a try...u will not regret it! Ask for Cassie as ur server...she will take excellent care of u!! read more

Went here for happy hour Sunday night- 9 to 10 pm. The ambience was great, the drinks were good too but the experience was weird in some ways- we got charged regular pricing, not happy hour pricing. Food order was put in at 915 pm, but they forgot about it- so we reordered it around 940, she put it in the system again but the food didn't come till 1020! They did fix our check but not sure if I would return here. read more

No complaints! Morgan gave great drink and taco recommendations. She goes out of her way to keep customers in the loop of the weekly and monthly restaurant specials. Food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend. Ask for a sauce to pair with the Asada tacos. Calm and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. I will definitely return. read more

This Mexican restaurant is tucked away under the Noelle Hotel. We weren't expecting much, but we're pleasantly surprised. We went for brunch the first morning and ordered fish tacos and the breakfast tacos. Super delicious and flavorful food at a good price. It was so good that we came back every morning. We went during happy hour one night and got some drinks before going out. You have to order at the bar to get happy hour prices. All the drinks taste good and pack a punch. Service was always friendly and fast. The vibes are immaculate. Not the greatest venue for families, but perfect for groups and dates. Definitely will come back even if I'm not staying at the Noelle. read more

Lona Nashville by Makeready, inside the Noelle Hotel, was great experience overall! We started with the Queso Fundido appetizer with Chorizo and it was rich, flavorful, and a great way to kick things off. One thing I really appreciated was the attention to detail in the atmosphere. The plateware and table decor are super cute and intentional, plus fun pops of color, cacti, and thoughtful styling throughout the space. The playlist was also a vibe! Service was good - our server was great with checking on us even though he got seated back to back a few times right after he had started with us. For dinner, we had the Enchiladas Divorciadas, which were really good - loved the sauces, and Pablo's Skirt Steak Fajitas which although the steak was a little dry / overcooked, had good flavor. We'll definitely be back to try their happy hour and tacos! read more

This is in the lower level of the hotel Noelle, which is a historic building and one of downtown Nashville's first luxury hotels, dating back to the 1930s. The hotel is worth a visit itself if only to gawk at the restored grand lobby in its gilded art deco glory. The interior of Lona is also gorgeous and makes for a lofi sultry vibe, which is a nice change from the cacophony of nearby broadway and printers alley. Cuisine is Mexican with a modern flair. My nachos were excellent and very satisfying. The extra jalapeños were much appreciated. But for a boozy town like Nashville, I was very disappointed with my Spanish 75 cocktail. The agave and/or cava were overdone and the drink was just not blended well. However I've not yet given up hope and will be visiting the speakeasy soon, so stay tuned. Service was adequate for looking a bit understaffed. read more

TJ is the best bartender ever!! He created the most delicious cocktails for us that weren't too sweet or too overpowering but just the perfect blend to enjoy the taste. He was so gracious and knowledgeable about the different types of cocktails he can make you anything you want! The live performance by Carter was such a hit and a vibe loved his iteration with the audience. The food was also really delicious, we loved the nachos! read more

This establishment is top notch. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was Danielle D. She took great care of us. We came in late and she gave us some good advice on what to order. We started with the Queso Fundido and that was super yummy! Then we had the Baja Fish Tacos and the Chicken Enchiladas Divorciadas. Both were great. As a side we got the plantains and those were amazing! Everything was super tasty and the vibe was cool. The lights were dimmed and there were red candles on each table. Very fun and the music being played was energizing. Our amazing waitress told us about a hidden bar by the restrooms and we took a peek in there. They had live music and a speakeasy atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. So much more good food to try! read more

This lovely restaurant is situated inside of the Noelle Hotel in Printers Alley. Very cutesy!! Awesome upbeat playlist! If you go on a Tuesday, they have a "Taco Tuesday" menu with various tacos and a few cocktails that you can select from outside of the regular menu. They also have HH Monday-Friday from 3-6. (At the bar only) I ordered the chopped salad and added adobo chicken. For an appetizer, we had guacamole and it was good but a little salty but my foodie friend thought it was fantastic! The Lona Margarita was a very nice classic margarita and packed a punch! Our service was excellent! I will definitely be back to try the fajitas! read more

Lona happy hour is a hidden gem downtown! Want a $7 strong marg and nachos with fresh guac for $8? Look no further than the bar at Lona. Happy hour seats are limited to only the bar but we went on a Saturday around 5:40 and still were able to snag a few seats. The bar staff were great and super attentive for how busy they were. I loved when someone asks how you like the cocktail they made..you can really feel the passion in their work! The food was super great and fresh. We went with the Baja fish, Tinga and steak tacos which were $6-$8 each roughly and the nachos with added protein around $20 but they were super large! Pro tip is to ask for their house made sauces which were amazingggg. The street corn side is something I'll be dreaming about. 10/10 recommend for the vibes and food read more

The ambiance was very nice and chill. Had no clue a DJ was playing in the background. It was lovely brunch vibes. I ordered something light, a guacamole with pork belly and my family ordered something light breakfast plates they all enjoyed their meals. Pro Tip: call ahead to know where to park because they will cover the first two hours. read more

You have to try this place! The food is SO good and the service is even better. Everyone is so friendly and has great suggestions for menu options.

Also, shout out to bartender Logan for being so wonderful and attentive! read more

We had a great experience at the bar at Lona in Nashville at the Noelle hotel. Massey is an amazing bartender!

Nice decor, server greeted up with a warm friendly greeting. Unfortunately they were out of a few ingredients for the cocktails we wanted. Unfortunately we didn't find that out until we received a drink that was missing the passion fruit and we asked about it. We ordered a salad and the skirt steak. The salad was good and the skirt steak was amazing. The squash advertised on the menu was substituted with jicama which again we were not informed of until we questioned it. We ordered the corn cake and the churros for dessert. Churros were ok but chocolate sauce tasted like Hershey's and the corn cake was not at all what we had hoped. Very off putting flavor and texture. The server while always pleasant and nice was not very attentive. read more

Amazing dinner at Lona's. Started with the mixed green salad. We then had the fish and shrimp tacos. Best I've had. Definitely recommend !

Carra was super kind and helpful. Had an amazing al pastor taco with a great margarita - 10/10 would recommend.

Came in after work with coworkers. It is in the lower level so you will need to go down the elevator which there isn't clear signage for the only thing I would call out. The food was amazing though. Had the guca and cheese with tortilla. I tried the shrimp tacos and they were very tasty! The margaritas are to die for! There is also a speak easy we didn't stay in there long just viewed it but it was good setup will return for sure. read more

Y'all. Everyone in my parity got sick after eating here. Very very sick. .I imagine it was the seafood as we shared every dish. The only good thing that we ate were the lobster quesadillas. The sauce on the enchiladas was just nasty, thick and lacked seasoning. The inside of the enchiladas also lacked seasoning. Overall, the food was a 2.5. The margarita was decent, coming in a a 3. The atmosphere and the illness afterwards is what brought the review down to a 1. It was chill yet it was evident that folks were there for a photo opportunity. An over-served patron at the bar didn't help the ambiance. She literally fell out of her barstool and had to be carried out. It gave broadway away from broadway in the midst of the terrible "modern Mexican" dishes. I don't think I'll be back to try again. read more

The management on 3/15/26 was nonexistent. Mot just our party but the whole restaurant felt abandoned.

Food great, customer service great atmosphere great. Bill-there are two additional fees added to your bill one is for the kitchen team ( which I feel the owners should be paying their staff this ) and another percentage that's Lona specific in all an additional 12 bucks on our bill. Then there's the tax etc that's normal. This additional fee is unnecessary just seems another way to nickel and dime customers. Other than that no complaints. read more

Food was amazing and Cassie was fast, honest, and great over all. Would definitely come back here. The lobster quesadillas were amazing.

Cute little underground mexican place. Great food and good bartenders as well. Little more expensive than I was expecting but other than that it was great. read more

Great Happy Hour drink specials. Nachos and guacamole were outstanding. I can't believe I am saying this, but the the fish tacos were some of the best I've had...yes I know it's Nashville. The breading was thin and crispy. read more

The restaurant is located on the Lower Level of Noelle Hotel. The space is pretty nice, there's a bar seating right at the entrance. Came here for happy hour, they offer 2 happy hours, one starting at 5pm and another at 9pm. Margaritas are amazing! Everything made fresh. They use higher end tequila, so you don't get the gross aftertaste of cheap tequilas. We ordered nachos and al pastor tacos. Both were great, they have a little twist to the authentic Mexican versions, but the flavors were fantastic. Would definitely come here again and again. Must try jalapeño-infused tequila passion fruit / lemon hibiscus rosemary foam margarita! read more
