    A very loud, very small, full bar, with better than average food. The fries were tasty but not crisp. The Caesar Salad with chicken, is tasty, but not great. Service was slow when the bar was full, including the kitchen. There is very limited street parking.

    I have been coming here for 7 years, and they have never disappointed me! Their bartenders are on point! They are known for their bourbon collection! They have several.... I like both Bourbon and Tequila, to my surprise they had a very good Tequila, G4 anejo, very hard to find! So, I started off with a pour G4 neat, soo good! Then I moved on to an Old Fashioned with a Sazerac Rye, Anthony nailed it! O'Be Joyful have some of the best Bartenders in Franklin! This place is small, but that's what makes this place special! Cheers!

    I had heard about O Be Joyful for a while and finally made it a couple days ago. The burger & tots were great! Also they make a wonderful Negroni!

    Dinner time after driving and sightseeing, I met my friend here and he asked me not to write a review. This place is just so awesome and he doesn't want it to get more crowded. Oops. Completely full when I arrived but two seats at the bar opened up so I started with a beer while I waited for my friend. Friendly bartender who wanted to have a conversation but it was just too loud for any real talking. When my friend arrived sat down, I was ready for dinner. I made a bad choice, going for the Jalapeno Burger which comes with pepper jack cheese, grilled jalapenos, tequila aioli and LTOP on a toasted bun. Your choices are either medium or well. I chose medium and it was perfectly delicious and a little drippy and full of zip. The tots were nice and crunchy, soaking up the drippings from the burger and with a little ketchup. Lots of beer options and they seem to really enjoy making cocktails. My friend's Old Fashioned looked perfect. My cold tin of local beer was delicious. There is free street parking in Franklin and a parking lot nearby. If the place is crowded, just patiently wait for a spot. It's worth it. [Review 20069 overall - 425 in Tennessee - 1045 of 2023.]

    Clean, inviting bar on Main Street tucked between shops and restaurants. The bartenders were friendly and welcoming. They also did a great job of keeping the drinks coming. They also only negative is that the bar chairs have a metal seat that is not comfortable. I would also appreciate the addition of purse hooks under the bar. Other than that, we had a great time!

    Came here unexpectedly as there was an hour and a half wait to the restaurant my partner and I were planning to dine. Intimate setting. The bar is long almost spanning the entire length. Limited seating but the bartenders and even patrons were very friendly and let us know if a seat/table was about to be unoccupied. Great cocktails especially for the price.

    Choices!

    Great drinks and service. Didn't try food but menu looks awesome too. Smart stop at Grey's pharmacy sign just off circle in Franklin TN. Can't go wrong, just O' Be Joyful!

    Jalapeño burger! Soooo juicy. Loved it!
    Melissa M.

    Both my jalapeño burger and Negroni were delicious A+! Friendly and attentive staff, Cool ambience, good prices, definitely coming by again!!

    The whiskey selection is fantastic- you name it and you they have it but the real treat are the cocktails. You know it's a great drink if they use eggs whites! I tried the bartenders creation that was recommended by other regulars- the banana fosters which was rum based and not overalls sweet. The whiskey sour and old fashion were both great! Another friend got a New York sour with a Port topper- amazing! If you don't know what to get the bartenders won't steer you wrong. The food upscale bar food- the nachos were lighter than typical bar food with black beans, guacamole and fresh radishes! Anything with bacon is always yummy and the jalapeños were great!!!

    Great handcrafted drinks, wonderful location Ordered the whiskey sour with egg white Service was topnotch.

    We had time to kill before our dinner reservations & found this gem of a spot via a Reddit post. What a sophisticated boujee bar vibe right off Main St. with phenomenally creative and delicious cocktails. Our service we fun and engaging. I absolutely loved the Brier Patch and highly recommend if it at all seems like your vibe! We did not grab food this time, but for sure will return bc others items looked great!

    Bartender was a total a-hole. Totally unprofessional and used profane language at us. Would never patronize this place again!

His voice was just magical. There are a lot of areas to take pictures and really enjoy the gorgeous scenery and green beauty. They have a nice little shop with some really fun stuff you can take home from Bottles, kitchen towels, bottles and fun Re-purposed glass bottles made into candles they have a lot of neat things.

Every visit feels like something you gotta share with people. That's why it's a 10 every time.

Upon arrival, the property itself was absolutely beautiful. The rich green colors, the open driveway, the art that could be visibly seen from the highway. Very gorgeous! The welcome center was clean and modern, displaying history of Nearest Green's lineage, facts about the art of distilling, display cases filled with tools from the original distillery/farm, as well as display cases for their world-renowned Tennessee Whiskey. The staff were all polite and welcoming. Our tour guide (forgot his name, but I have a picture of him!) was awesome! He was funny, personable, and very knowledgeable. He shared that he's been at NGD for the past 3 years and you could tell that he enjoys his job. The tour was great. The only downside was that half of the property was off-limits or non-operational at the moment. The time slot of our tour unfortunately occurred closer to closing time so we weren't able to check out their bar, Humble Baron. We did get to visit the speakeasy on the property and the area where they pour and bottle for the welcome center. It would've been fun to check out the stables to see all of the pretty horsies. Overall, it was a good experience. To visit a place filled with rich history, black history. Praying for the Nearest success for more opportunities to continue sharing the Green legacy.

We all loved the Giddy Up Espresso Martinis, which were topped with adorable soccer ball design in celebration of the World Cup. We also enjoyed the Serrano & Jalapeño Bloody Mary (definitely brings the heat!), along with the Two to Mango Margarita and the returning Endless Summer Margarita, each had their own place and none disappointed! For brunch, I ordered the Southwest Breakfast Bowl. It was fresh, colorful, and packed with vegetables, making it feel nourishing without being heavy. The flavors worked well together, especially the combination of eggs, veggies, and southwest-inspired seasonings. My only suggestion would be adding a starch element, such as crispy breakfast potatoes or roasted sweet potatoes, to provide a little more texture and make the bowl feel more balanced and substantial. Even so, it was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. What really stood out was the service. Our team was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about both the food and drink menu, making the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for brunch with friends, especially if you're looking for creative cocktails, a lively atmosphere, and excellent hospitality. I'll definitely be back for another round of drinks and for sure that Endless Summer Margarita.
