Been here a few times and the most recent time, it looked like it was remodeled. Tons of open seating now, a really nice bar seating area, and a great store to buy things in. Dodging yet another storm that rolled through when our group was here, we posted up in Nelson's Green Brier for an hour or so. I haven't struggled so much like I have here to pick a craft cocktail. There are so many good ones on the menu that fit any type of pallet, that it took me so long to decide. I got a modified old fashioned and then there was a martini-like drink that I tried. Both really packed a punch, luckily we were walking to our next destination. In the store they seemed to have a flash-sale going on for one of the bourbons. It was normally around $75 or something and I got it for $45. I am sure that's not normal but it really made the selection even better, because the wall of whiskey/bourbon is also really tough to choose what you want! read more

We love going to the supper club dinners at Nelson's Green Brier. They're always a great deal and a fun way to try something new. I'm not much of a whiskey or bourbon drinker, but I still really enjoy coming here because they have creative cocktails that are delicious and approachable for everyone. The team is always hosting unique events, which keeps us coming back. Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or just looking for a fun night out, it's a great local spot with a welcoming atmosphere and something different to offer each visit. read more

I did not realize how amazing Nashville's food scene is. I went to Nelson's Green Brier for the black bar crawl brunch. We arrived after 10am which was probably too early for the "real brunch" was started. I ordered the eggs benedict with a bourbon mosa. The bourbon mosa was the VIP of the visit. A nice twist to drinking brown liquor without it being too strong. I really enjoyed it and contemplated ordering a second one. Try it! As for the meal, it was delicious as well. Everything was cooked to perfection. The potatoes were nicely seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The greens and vinaigrette were nice. The eggs benedict on the english muffin.. excellent. The portion size is good. I actually took the second egg/muffin home. read more

Nelson's Green Brier is 100% worth the visit. They have a spacious restaurant area with an abundant menu of delicious entrees and small bites. We enjoyed a seat at the bar enjoying having a pretzel with great cheese dip along with a well crafted cocktail. Though the bar stretched far across the room we received fast and attentive service. Nelson's Green has a wild history and it is a treat to hear about it during the distillery tour. When that is all wrapped up, the distillery is part of the Marathon Motor Works complex which includes a number of great other businesses to check out. read more

We love Nelson's! They have a great brunch, but we also love the supper club. It is such a great portion you get for drinks and all the food is great. This one is from the Kentucky Derby deemed so it was all Southern food, but we also did an Asian one that was great as well. They are super friendly and the distillery is beautiful. Also, if you go for brunch, you need to try the skillet banana bread!! read more

The tour guide was awesome, we enjoyed all the history about this distillery & restaurant! The greeter & waitress were so friendly!

Sad I didn't get to take a tour but the experience was great nonetheless! The space inside is gorgeous!! It's spacious, open and very green. All the drinks we got from the bar were made with perfection. I got the frozen old fashion but I should have looked at the menu more because they had a smoked old fashion that sounded amazing. Next time I will definitely try it. Service was friendly and so quick. The membership with them is definitely worth signing up, the perks are great! Overall, I highly recommend! read more

Yelp needs to create a special 10 star category for those deserving, and this distillery is one of those! Firstly- amazing space. The 3 piece jazz band was a great touch. Food: they have a lunch and brunch service, and my mushroom grits were fantastic! Pro tip: pair the grits with the rye whiskey, and prepare to be amazed. Daniel at the bar was fantastic on knowledge and service. The distillery tour with Therese was thoroughly enjoyable. It was fun and informative, with a tasting at the end. And you'll get a discount on merch if you book a tour. There is a great story behind this distillery as well. I had a wonderful time here, and this business really made my time in Nashville shine. read more

Arrived for a tasting, got seated at the bar and were greeted by the bartender promptly. Had to sit there for about 10 minutes or so while she dealt with other customers, no big deal. I did the Flagship flight which sampled the 4 Whiskey's in the posted photo. The Tennessee whiskey was not bad but had a bit of an harsh taste. Liked the Classic Bourbon. The Rye Whiskey was ok but not to my taste and I do like Rye. The Reserve Bourbon was very good. It maybe high proof but finished smoothly. Beautiful place, lots of extras to purchase and they also serve food. Worth the visit. read more

We visited Green Brier Distillery for a whiskey tasting and tour, and it was such a great experience! Our guide, Sophia, was absolutely lovely -- friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the rich history of the Green Brier family and the process of making Tennessee whiskey. The tour was both educational and entertaining, and we ended with a tasting where Sophia walked us through how to properly taste and appreciate each pour. It was so much fun -- we learned a lot and laughed along the way. The distillery itself is beautiful and welcoming, and the whiskey is genuinely delicious. I'd absolutely do this again and recommend it to anyone visiting Nashville! read more

Parking was easy, the vibe and aesthetic inside is so cute !! Had some food before our tasting tour, the wings and the spinach dip were my favorite, delicious !! We also got the cornbread, good too but wouldn't order again. The service (including the waitress Kara) and our tour guide Zach was awesome!! Genuine and passionate, the whiskey was great and i don't even usually drink whiskey. 10/10 recommend !! read more

Planned an outing for my friend & I at Nelson's Green & we both enjoyed it! We did the tour & tasting, and our tour guide taught us so much about the history of this brand, which includes an interesting family story. The facility is smaller than some of the others in the area, but beautiful. The tasting was one of the best I've been to because of the palate wheel helping us identify notes in the different blends. There's free parking in most parts of the street in the area & there's a free lot designated for distillery patrons. Great outing for tourists & Nashvillians. read more

This place came highly recommended and did not disappoint. When you enter the place, you're greeted by someone at a desk where you could sign up if you want to take their tour. I opted to skip the tour since they're almost closing and I'd rather take my time enjoying my drinks. I went to the bar and behind it was a clear glass where you can see the huge vats where they make the magic potions. They have plenty of cocktails on the menu and of course individual whiskeys and flights. I got their house classic reserve and a cocktail (Always whiskey in the banana stand) and ohhhhh boy... they were heavenly. So smooth. Loved how easy it felt drinking it and the burn that followed soon after. The cocktail was nice and sweet; giving me a break in-between, but still have enough whisky to remind you that this should be the highlight of the experience. read more

Came for the tour, stayed for the food. Nelson's Green Brier Distillery is one of (if not the) oldest whiskey distillery in Tennessee. I came for the tour, wanting to learn how Tennessee whiskey is made. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and charming, walking us through the history of Nelson's and the process of whiskey making. He loved answering questions and tossed some great jokes before taking us to a delightful tasting experience, teaching us the most enjoyable ways to taste whiskey. Feeling a little tipsy after the tour, I went to Nelson's restaurant located inside the distillery. Here, pub classics like burgers and pizza are made with and served alongside their whiskey. The food was rich, heavy, and salty, pairing nicely with the alcohol. Everything was delicious and gave me a cozy feeling afterward. If you are interested in Tennessee history, whiskey making, or just good food, Nelson's Green Brier Distillery is all three in one. read more

Took the tour at Nelson's Green Brier Distillery and had an awesome time. The tour was informative, fun, and well run. Tour guide Zach was great. Super cool, funny, and really knew the history of the distillery. The tastings were solid and the whole experience had a great vibe. It's a hidden gem in the Marathon area with easy parking nearby. Honestly just as good, if not better, than driving out to Jack Daniel's. Highly recommend. I saw they have a restaurant but have time to try the food. read more

We did the Hainted Distillery Tour pop up. Appreciate the effort but it wasn't very scary. I did like the whiskey samples at the end. I thought we'd be able to order the spooky themed drinks at the bar rather than a small to-go cup in the beginning. I think there was a missed opportunity to make them fun colors or add a plastic spider or something. Also I thought we'd get 2 themed drinks not one. Our "ghost" tour guide was very nice and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. It was cool to learn about the haunted history of the distillery. read more

I have been here for brunch and it is always excellent! First time for Supper Club, theme: Chicago! Welcome drink was quite tasty! Yummy bread with dipping oil, pasta salad next (never been a fan of cold pasta - so my friend took this home for lunch the next day) followed by Italian beef and crinkle fries with cheese - omg so good, but the giardiniera was spicy from the jalapeños! And there was more - Deep dish pizza and then a bourbon brownie! All courses came with a drink - of course their whiskey is excellent! All in all, a great experience! read more

This is for the Thursday night Supper Club. 9/25 was Oktoberfest Fusion! German/Asian and it was delicious! Service is always impeccable and the atmosphere perfect. You start with a welcome drink and through the night the food is paired with a few more. Started with a Bao Schnitzel, next was a great salad, followed by chicken, brisket, and a fantastic dessert. Limited so make your reservation on their site. Food style changes weekly. I almost didn't want to leave this review because it's one of the best secrets in Nashville. They have a convenient parking lot across from the distillery. read more

From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect at Nelson's Green Brier Distillery! The Oak Room is gorgeous, and we were able to transform it into my dream come true. I'm still pinching myself, it was such an incredible event, it honestly feels like a dream! The food, drinks, and staff were all outstanding. One guest raved so much about the food that he said he'd trade a family member for the mushrooms! Every bit of feedback I received was glowing. And Phillip, what can I even say? He's simply the best human around. I'm so thankful for all the hand holding, patience, and dream making he poured into this event. He took my vision and somehow made it even more magical! read more

Hesitant to write this review because I found this hidden gem and I don't want to share... this is hands down the best brunch in Nashville. Incredible menu, beautiful building, very fast service. This place was such a crowd pleaser! Everyone in my family loved their meal and drink. I got a strawberry basil lemonade that was delicious and was blown away by the biscuits! I am very picky with biscuits, and these are IT. Also, I have never had such good sausage gravy. Can't wait to return!! Also the portions are HUGE! We all ended up with to go boxes. read more

Amazing experience to try and learn about local whisky. Did a tasting which included a tour to see how everything is made and history of distillery. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. It's a big space that also has a gift shop to purchase souvenirs and whiskey. Louisa's liquor was especially delightful as a desert drink, that makes delightful espresso martini, and is sold only in TN. Nice bar with good drinks, tasty food and good service. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I'm not a whiskey drinker personally but my family really enjoyed it! We got a drink at the bar before the tour began and I definitely recommend checking it out!! Got the frozen espresso martini, tried the frozen old fashioned and the smoky old fashioned and they were fabulous drinks. Definitely recommend coming here for some Tennessee whiskey!! read more

Had a great afternoon at Nelson's. They had their own twist on a couple things; the Cold fashion, which is a slushy old fashion. My husband really enjoyed it, it was $5 during happy hour. I had the huckleberry. For apps we did the buffalo wings, they were fall off the bone good that I had to get another order. I tried loving their version of the French onion soup but it was too salty. If you're part of the Trolly Tour, you get a discount at the restaurant or mercantile store. read more

Nice upscale atmosphere with a pleasant dining area. I ordered biscuits and gravy with a side of two eggs.

Ok! To the staff first you were so wonderful. Viator unfortunately double booked some tours so when we arrived we had been canceled out. However the two lovely ladies and Jacob got us into a tasting and a very quick personal tour! We had a blast and honestly weren't even upset that we had been canceled. We were having such a good time with the DJ on the Gay Brunch Day, we all were happy. However it got even better. Then we grabbed a watermelon Gin Smash, an Espresso Martini and sorry I can't remember the other drink. Biscuits and gravy - OMG SO DAMN GOOD, and a charcuterie board that was heaven.

Take the tour! It's the second best part of Nelson's Green Brier Distillery, honestly. My tour guide was engaging, I learned a lot about Tennessee whiskey and bourbon, I got to taste a lot of Tennessee whiskey and bourbon, and I left with a nice t-shirt that I bought at the gift shop. The first-best part of Nelson's is the food. As much as I love whiskey and bourbon, I love a great meal slightly more, and you can get a great meal here at the restaurant inside the distillery. I visited with a group, so we got a few different things: Deviled eggs: amazing, as all deviled eggs are. I've yet to eat a bad deviled egg, ever. These are great. Bavarian soft pretzel: This was just fine. It comes with pimento cheese and whiskey mustard on the side. Distiller's Board: this is a charcuterie board with cheese, fruits, crackers, cured meats, pickles and candied nuts. I could have picked off this board with a Cold Old Fashioned (a frosty whiskey drink my friend got that I tasted), and I would have been exceedingly happy. For my main, I got the carnitas tacos, which came with pickled red onion, crema and cilantro. They are huge! I would recommend splitting this entree with another person, because after the first taco, I was well acquainted with the tastes and flavors, and the second and third tacos were just more of the same. If I had to do it all over again, I would have ordered the salmon croquettes, which I'm not seeing on the online menu, but they were on the menu when we visited. They are basically balls of salmon and herbs fried and served with tartar sauce and a wedge of lemon. Yum yum yum -- I'm still thinking about these balls of fish. They were perfectly crispy yet chewy. My favorite combination. The restaurant in the distillery is bright and airy, with high ceilings and lots of windows. You almost feel like you're sitting in a fancy barn or something. The tables are set with cloth napkins and earthen-colored flatware -- with pothos placed delicately in glass jars as table centerpiece -- so there's a simple, natural vibe going on here. The restaurant is nice but unpretentious. It's a must-stop before or after you do your whiskey tasting. read more
