This is a drag strip of course as you see by my photos I took. Story: I got here early around 4pm on a Saturday. I paid $10 for admission to enter the race track from a nice little lady at the gate. They don't have much room to watch the race from the tailgate of your truck which I like. So I walked to the grandstands to watch the race. By the way, the grandstands are not covered with a roof. So, where a hat and some sunglasses. I did wish that I brought some ear plugs though. It is pretty loud here as most cars don't have much of a muffled engine. On scene: They do have facilities with bathrooms along with sinks and running water where you can wash your hands. The only concession stand that was open was the one under the call tower ( see photo). The concession stand was not open around the grandstands where I chose to sit. You can see all of the race track from the grandstands if you sit up kind a high like I did. Parking is good as I could park just about anywhere I wanted. They do have a scoreboard at the end of the track. I could here the announcer somewhat if I wanted to. Furthermore, it's pretty easy to get in and out of the track once you get here. Most of all, there was no one around me smoking. But, that could be because there was not many people in the grandstands. Now, there was a lot of people here but they were all race car drivers, pit crew members or race track officials.

For my birthday my wife got me a twenty lap package with the Rusty Wallace Experience. I had a ton…read moreof fun and learned a lot. You go through a 45 minute training class before they turn you loose on the track. If you have never driven on a NASCAR style track, I highly recommend paying the extra money to ride with a pro for three laps before you do yours. It was an extra $99 when we went. I'm sure the prices differ by season and specials. I also highly recommend you get the insurance for $69. If you wreck the car and it's deemed your fault you will only be responsible for $1000 vs. up to $15,000. They allow your group to take photos on their phone in the pit area but offer professional photos (For An Extra Fee Of Course) before you get into the race car. They also offer a video of your driving experience. They messed my video up so I didn't get one. The things I really enjoyed was the freedom of driving a powerful car by myself. I would try to go during cooler weather if possible. It gets very hot wearing the fire proof suit over your clothes and inside a tin can with a very hot motor. The people doing the driving, training, and your radio crew were very pleasant and knew what they were doing. They make sure you understand all the rules of the track and genuinely care for your safety. You have a radio in your ear to get instructions while you drive. You cannot talk back to them but they will guide you as you make the laps. The car's are fairly nice but you can tell they have been retired from true racing. You can upgrade several times to nicer cars with better steering and more hp (For Additional Fees) It can get very expensive here! It's also not worth going through all this just to drive three laps. If you're not going to purchase at least six to ten laps. I highly recommend just riding with a pro for three laps. That is a ton of fun. You don't start to feel comfortable driving until around three laps. The things not so enjoyable were the nasty damp helmets and flame retardant suits. You definitely want to be one of the first groups out if possible. I would think for what this cost they could afford some Lysol to spray in the helmets. They all smell like a high school locker room. I also think if you purchase the larger driving packages they should throw in a few of the smaller perks. When I say everything costs extra I mean it! They even sell bottled water and Gatorade from a cooler. If you have a lot of extra money to burn and love speed, it's a great experience. I recommend having them check your driving video before you leave.

Everyone that worked with us there were really awesome. Talking with us as we stood in line. Helping us in all aspects of the drive and being patient as it was our 1st time there. The Nashville track was a great 1st track to do this I think. The layout is not too difficult. We chose to do the side by side ride along which was really cool to "race" another car on the track. We are looking to head back out and do the driving experience on our next visit! If you love NASCAR at all, this is a definite add to your bucket list.

I'm writing this from an artist's perspective. I participated in this show years ago, and at one…read moretime it was truly excellent. Local residents showed up in droves and genuinely valued -- and purchased -- handmade work. I made five to $7000 twenty years ago. Unfortunately, the show has changed significantly. It now draws large crowds, many of whom appear to be bused in from outside the area. While attendance is high, sales are not. The loyal local audience seems to have been pushed out by the increased congestion, and many no longer attend. Equally disappointing is the noticeable decline in handmade goods. Walking the show this year, I spoke with several talented artists who shared that they struggled to cover even their basic expenses and do not plan to return. It's a real shame that the show has declined like it has. It used to be a beautiful show and Franklin is a nice town.

We sat outside drinking great beer all day in beautiful weather. I would recommend going at least once if you live in Nashville. It is also a great activity for tourists, as well. AMBIENCE. The ambience was very uplifting. Droves of fun-loving people flocked to what is my favorite part of Nashville (Germantown) to enjoy great beer in beautiful weather. It was just the kind of atmosphere you'd expect from a street fair or carnival. VENUE. The venue itself was a block party centralized at 5th and Jefferson. There were several food trucks, and two large tents to procure beer from. The local establishments were also hopping, as you can imagine. Seating seemed sparse to the naked eye, but so many people wanted to stand or walk around that there didn't seem to be any issues with people finding a place to sit and enjoy the day. We had about 10 in our group and had no issues. QUALITY. I didn't indulge in the food truck offerings, so I can only comment on the beer. I stuck to two beers: Oktoberfest and Festbier, both of which were very good. Definitely was not disappointed. SERVICE. My only complaint was the lines, which were ridiculous. Beer was only sold at two tents, each of which subjected you to a line with a 30-minute (or greater) wait. By late afternoon, lines were closer to an hour. This was a drastic oversight by the venue's organizers, as they definitely left a lot of money on the table from people who would've otherwise spent much more. Our fix was to buy several beers each time we made it to the front of the line to minimize the frequency of tent trips. Still, this was not ideal, and I was very disappointed the lines were not better-managed. PRICE. While there was no entry fee, it was not cheap. Beers were $12 + tip. Still, this was a street festival, so lofty prices are to be expected. I would have been much happier to pay the price for beer if the lines had been more manageable. TAKEAWAYS. It is definitely worth checking out, but be wary of the long waits. Grabbing several beers at once partially ameliorated the wait time but was still not ideal. Happily, Clayton Cohn

I have been going here for five years now. It's a tradition among friends. We even have friends…read morethat fly in every year from out of town to do this. We are those people that dress up, show up early, leave late, and have a great time. We dance polka, we sing drinking songs, we drink our beer from steins, and we have a great time from start to finish. Though this is technically the Germantown Street Festival, we just call it Oktoberfest. It starts with a 5K and ends with a huge street festival that closes off all the roads in Germantown (be aware of that for parking, though local businesses will usually allow you to park for around $10). There are tons of local vendors selling their crafts as well as booths selling brats (there's a great one that sells an Oktoberfest meal - a brat with sauerkraut, baked beans and potato salad for $10). Bring cash! Its faster and easier and everyone takes it. Also, there are more places to get beer aside from the one directly at the entrance. Remember that. There are polka bands playing all afternoon and its fun to dance around. There are plenty of things for kids to do (if you want to bring your kids to a festival celebrating German-style drinking...well I guess) like playgrounds and face painting. There's plenty to do...and they have a pooch parade, so bring your pups if they're good with crowds and other dogs. As far as the crowds, coming earlier or later (on either side of lunchtime) is a safer bet, though really it depends on the weather and who's playing football that day as far as how packed it gets. Those are the specifics...for me its about sitting in the Beer Garden tent, drinking stein after stein with friends, possibly enjoying a pretzel, and definitely dancing. I look forward to this every year, with friends coming from all corners to enjoy (typically) great fall weather and Oktoberfest brews. If you don't like drinking, fun, good food, and celebrating one of Nashville's coolest communities, don't crowd up the streets on this annual celebratory day.

The consoles were amazing and so were the arcade machines. It's nice to be able to buy a soda and a snack. I also love the fact that there were some console games for sale. This place has everything. I am a small lineup of games myself I understand what it's like to keep them up. I was amazed at all these games were working. A few of the games have to use flat screens but that's a tiny price to pay to place such an amazing lineup of machines. In fact I was just mostly in awe! I've been to the big museum that used to exist in Banning, CA., and I would say this place not only rivals it, but, beats it because it's open all the time. It also has I feel the widest variety of machines something for everybody. I can't say enough about it I will definitely be back again!

It is basically a no frills warehouse filled with the largest selection of pinball and arcade games I have ever seen. Most of the games work and are set to free play.

You can buy, sell, and/or trade classic console games at the front. There is so much offered in one location. I love it here because it is not crowded and normally you don't have to wait to play a game. If you can't find a few games you like, something is wrong.

This is a great addition to Nashville Yards! I have been saying for years how strange it is that we…read moredidn't have a movie theater/entertainment center like this anywhere in Nashville ... and I'm happy to report that Hooky fills that gap perfectly. My husband and I purchased movie tickets through Fandango to see the new Toy Story here. I saw on their website that they validate parking for up to four hours in the Nashville East garage, and thank goodness that they do! I couldn't imagine spending any more money on parking after purchasing two movie tickets for nearly $60 (including fees). However, you get what you pay for, as their movie theaters are beautiful and brand new, with fun loveseat-like couch seats and full service dining. Concession prices were pretty standard, and I love that the popcorn is bottomless, so you can get a refill halfway through the movie if you want! I do wish that you could just place the order through the QR code rather than just requesting a server ... it seems like it would flow more smoothly for everyone if that were the case. We also got an Oreo shake with our popcorn, which was utterly delicious! Note that there is no regular concession stand - you must order popcorn and snacks (or a full meal) through a theater server. Regular rules do kind of go out the window with these full service dining theaters. The woman a few seats down from us was shining her flashlight at her menu for the first 15 minutes of the movie, and it was so annoying! She did it periodically throughout the movie as well. I'm not sure what Hooky could do to curtail this, as I'm sure they want people to order food throughout the movie, so I'll just say moviewatcher beware! The couch seats were comfortable, albeit a little awkward. I really wish they reclined! The audio and visuals were great - we opted for the SDX theater, and it did not disappoint. We didn't get a chance to check out any of the other games on-site, or the full bar available, but we did note their awesome happy hour deals. I am sure we'll be back soon!

Was really looking forward to finally having a clean comfortable upscale movie theater in Nashville…read moreand was pretty disappointed. The only real positive was that it's new and they're keeping it clean. So at least a step up from the sticky floors of every other movie house we've visited in the Nashville area. They were having problems with the HVAC and the entire center was uncomfortably hot. The seating is mostly love seats, large enough for two. But the seats don't recline and they've chosen to use cloth instead of leather. The seats are already not particularly comfortable, and it feels like they'll get old and worn out pretty quickly. Wonder why they went with the cheaper approach. They do offer food and drink service to the movie seats. You scan a QR code that goes through a "check out" process that's actually just requesting a wait person visit and take your order. Pretty unusual and underwhelming for an established chain. The "table" attached to each seat is very small, just enough to hold a drink and a small plate. The menu, which is the same menu provided in the bar, is typical bar food and not designed for eating in a dark theater. There are very few items other than the drinks that you'd be tempted to try in the dark. The front door of Hooky is out to a two lane major downtown street with no access for ride shares to pull over and drop you off or pick you up. Huge oversight, they must imagine all their customers are walk ups or parking in nearby garages. We're a bit spoiled by previously living in areas with iPic theaters, and were hoping Hooky might provide an iPic like experience. It's a small step in that direction, but clearly with a lower budget and a less experienced design team. I expect we may give them one more try, after the place has a chance to burn in and get their rhythm, particularly if there's a combination of a good movie and a reservation at an adjacent restaurant like Ocean Prime. But our expectations are going to be fairly low.
