Nashville keeps finding ways to surprise me... and Pinewood Social might be one of the more fun ones. Set inside a historic building that somehow pulls off industrial cool meets laid-back hangout, this place isn't just a restaurant--it's a whole vibe. You've got open space, energy flowing, and yeah... bowling lanes casually sitting there like "why not make dinner competitive?" Now let's get into the food--because this menu came to play: Flash fried broccoli with sunflower seed aioli - crunchy, nutty, and low-key addictive... the kind of dish that makes you forget you're eating vegetables. Cabrini chili fried cauliflower - bold heat, crispy edges, and not playing it safe at all. Braised short rib - melt-in-your-mouth, rich, and exactly what you hope for when you order it. Hot honey fried chicken with greens - sweet heat done right, crispy outside, juicy inside... no notes. And shoutout to Taylor, who absolutely carried the experience. All smiles, dialed in on the menu, and knew exactly how to guide us through the hits. Service like that just makes everything taste better. read more

If you come here for nothing else, let it be the Pinewood Classic Tots (Bravas spice, parmesan, parsley, paprika aioli). These are simply phenomenal and are delicious even without the aioli. I would order these as my main dish and hoard them all to myself, haha But I did not know this at the time so I also ordered the Turkey and brie wrap (pinewood roasted turkey, brie, garlic aioli, arugula, cranberry chutney, flour tortilla, came with salad). This was just OK - there was too much sauce on my wrap (honestly, my fault, I only like the tiniest smear on sandwiches and I forgot to ask for it on the side). The salad was heavy on the vinaigrette, to the point where the lettuce was wilty and droopy. Everything tasted fine though. The ambiance is cool, there is a bowling alley in the back, and the main dining room has tall ceilings and kind of reminded me of an airplane hangar. Our server was friendly, but she was given a huge table of people that had small kids with them and they were taking all of her time with a million questions so for a while I wondered if we were ever going to be able to pay and leave. Normally sitting and chilling out is no problem but we had to be on the road and a storm was coming so I was a little more on edge this time. Oh also lunch here is EXPENSIVE. It was almost $80 for two people and nothing we ordered was the most expensive dish. Just be aware. read more

We are visiting Nashville in good spirits and have really enjoyed the city and its culture and people. I don't understand why our server Misha was so curt and unfriendly with us during lunch today. We had a 1:30 reservation and waited for some time, but that wasn't a big deal. Our drinks (3 coffees and an OJ) arrive piecemeal after 25 mins, and without the honey we asked for; when we very politely reminder her of the missing item, she was dismissive. When our food hadn't come out 40 mins + after ordering, we politely asked whether she could check in with the kitchen - again an unapologetic and dismissive two-word "I'll try". Within 10 mins after food arrived, she slapped the bill on our table. Not a single word. Just the sound of the plastic bill tray slapping our table. Not sure what happened here, and tough to enjoy a meal with this kind of treatment. What a shame, as the entire feel of this restaurant and its food, bowling alley, and decor are tops. read more

Historically have loved this place. But have noticed it lacking in previous trips. Last visit the bathrooms were dirty. Our salads came out with our entrees (super annoying) both of our steaks were overcooked. Had to send back our sides due to them being cold. Tons of fat on the steaks. Service was friendly but not the best. Love this place and hope they get it together. Lots of competition in town so it's important. Surprised to see a 4 star rating on here also, so others agree. read more

Pinewood Social is a fun spot for families or friends to enjoy a few hours. They have bowling, a restaurant, a bar, and a coffee bar. It looked like a spot where people can come to work too. Check their site for the garage to park in for three hours of validated parking. The garage is signed well so you'll know you are in the correct garage. Just make sure Metropolitan doesn't try to charge you. Bowling reservations are available through their website. They allow up to six people per lane. Each lane is $90 for 90 minutes. As a family of four we were able to play each game in about 30 minutes. Keep in mind that two lanes share one set of seating. It would be pretty tight if a party of six was sharing a lane with another party of six. For some reason another group was placed right next to us when we were the only two groups there at the time. The other group asked to be moved, but I'd recommend they space people out when it isn't busy. The bowling was a really fun family activity for us. My daughters, 2 and 6 had a great time. There was a good variety of bowling balls so we were able to find the weight we needed. Scoring is manual using a computer at each lane. The lane we were on functioned properly for our games. The helper stands for kids were available. The helper stand was perfect for our two year old. Food and drink can be ordered at the lanes or in the restaurant. We opted to have drinks only while bowling. Our server set us up with a table in the restaurant after bowling. The service here was great. We were checked on frequently while bowling. Service was smooth on the restaurant side as well. The food and drink menu offers so many great options. You can't go wrong with Crema coffee. I enjoyed my usual Cortado. The Bumpy Teeth Mocktail was also delicious. My husband and I shared the Shrimp Po'Boy and Green Chile Brisket Sandwich. The Shrimp Po'Boy was decent, but very light on shrimp. I really liked the brisket sandwich which reminded me of a pot roast sandwich. I wouldn't say we got any green chile flavor from it. I opted for a salad as my side and it was fresh with a tasty balsamic dressing. This was a fun morning activity for my family. I'd love to return to meet up with friends or when family is in town. It's convenient to have an activity and food all in one spot. read more

We love this place, our servers were very patient and able to attend all our needs, I feel we all ordered a bunch of things and the price was fair for all we got, also the place is huge and nice for a big party, their bar area was also very big, they have a bunch of restrooms which I love, thanks for been so considerate on that. They also give my sister (the bride) a congratulations note, that was beyond the nice surprise. read more

I went with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. We had a reserved table with a bowling lane. Service could have been a little better as they didn't check in often or when a new person arrived they didn't get a drink or bowling shoes. I will say the real shock came when discovering how much the person who made the reservation paid for the area, and the difference between what's advertised vs how they had to check out. I would say the price is not worth the experience in my personal opinion. Was it a good time? Sure. The pretzels I had were good but again, just not worth what was paid. read more

Took my family here for Easter brunch and enjoyed a wonderful meal! We were pleasantly surprised to find validation for 3 hours free parking once inside the restaraunt, though it's worth noting you'll need to walk a few minutes from the parking garage to the door of the restaraunt. Our server was really cheerful and kind, she really played up the holiday and ran us through the menu very well. Service was almost ~too~ attentive towards the end of the meal, I'm not sure if they were trying to flip the table but it felt like every 30 seconds a new person came to the table trying to clear our plates. Everyone was super friendly, just felt a little rushed towards the end. But the food was really great!! We ordered from the special Easter Brunch menu, starting with the basket of biscuits and maple butter which were divine. The brown butter pecan sticky bun was insanely decadent and delicious I split the chicken and waffles with someone and they kindly split it in the kitchen for us, the chicken was a real piece of breaded chicken breast and was very tasty. Some others at the table ordered the churro French toast, ham and egg Benedict, coffee and cocktails and said everything was great. They had the Easter bunny roaming around which was a fun festive touch, the light and airy atmosphere also added to our perfect brunch! Would definitely return with visitors read more

This place is super awesome hands-down. Forget the fact that they have a retro old-school bowling alley in the back of it. They have great local beers on tap and a scratch Kitchen along with the ability to make some super fresh craft cocktails. Both times I've been there which I visited while on a business trip twice in one week. The service was great too. read more

Nope!!! 15 min to get a waiter, 15 to get drinks and and 1 1/2 hour to get food. On a Tuesday. Won't be back. Late for our concert because of them. read more

Cool restaurant, bar and bowling alley! We walked here from our hotel, so can't comment on parking. We weren't super hungry but we wanted to grab drinks. We got sparkling wine and a few cocktails. We also snacked on the hush puppies that came with pimento cheese. The drinks were amazing, but to our surprise it had LA prices. Eek! The hush puppies were good too! Everything on the menu looked good, but unfortunately we were not hungry enough! I would love to come back and try other items. read more

Pinewood Social brunch was an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, not in the way you'd hope for on your 17th wedding anniversary. We had 11:30 reservations. The restaurant wasn't even full, yet we weren't seated until 11:55. The first hostess looked completely lost, and the second hostess was a guy who appeared to be one untied shoelace away from becoming the brunch special. Once seated, things somehow accelerated directly into slow motion. We sat down at 11:55 and didn't actually get food until 1:15. At one point, the manager finally came over after another customer had already unloaded on him... and then proceeded to leave all of our empty bottles and plates from the first round of drinks sitting on the table like decorative centerpieces. By the time the food arrived, we genuinely weren't sure if we were celebrating our 17th anniversary or waiting for the 18th. The crazy part? The food was actually really good. Which almost makes the experience more confusing. Like watching a Michelin chef run a restaurant inside a DMV. read more

The vibe is dark, rustic restaurant with lots of cozy seating and open space. We went with a party of 5 and sat in a booth tucked away in the corner. Ordered the hummus with a side of pita bread, a Chutes and Ladders cocktail, and the short ribs. The hummus and pita bread was phenomenal-- the hummus has some chili oil and was topped with delicious roasted squash that I can't stop thinking. The cocktail was heavy on the sweet side, and I couldn't finish it. The short rib was very tender. Service was super quick and the staff were constantly checking in on us. Overall, great place and I'd come back again read more

What a tease, coming here for work and not getting to bowl! Cute retro restaurant that was a little hard to get to with construction happening nearby. Our group had no trouble getting seated. The mint espresso tonic drink I got was refreshing. The French Dip was very bread-y and not super memorable. Service was good. Overall it was a decent outing - there's just a lot going on here. Solid place for either brunch or dinner, especially for large group events. read more

A local suggested we check out Pinewood Social for brunch and it was a great recommendation. We arrived early on Saturday afternoon and had to wait about 20 minutes beyond our reservation time. The dining room was buzzing and everyone seemed to be having a fun time. It's in a funky location that challenged our Uber driver's GPS. Like a lot of restaurants, it features that industrial décor look inside. The dining room is massive, with a small bowling alley in the back. Outside is a pool for all kinds of activities. The menu is deep and I could see myself, if I was a local, having weekend after weekend of tastings of additional brunch menu items. We started with the soft pretzels and they were almost a meal in themselves. Loved the cheese dipping sauce. The Challah French Toast was super delish with berry compote and maple syrup. The side of bacon was tasty, but seemed a little under-cooked. Our server Katie did a nice job helping us make menu selections and keeping an eye on our table to ensure we had a great experience. read more

Really unique place off the beaten path. We rented a couple scooters to get there from our downtown hotel. We didn't have reservations for brunch but were able to get a seat by the bar. The service was friendly and professional. We tried the avocado toast, shrimp and grits, and a regular bacon and eggs plate. Shrimp and grits were the best. Avocado toast was flavored with spinach and other vegetables that added a vinegar taste that was too strong for my liking. The bacon was crispy and delicious. Really liked the style of the social with the bowling alley in the back. Better bring your wallet, it can get quite pricey read more

My go to restaurant in Nashville for many years when visiting for conventions. Always a favorite with my business clients. The atmosphere is great and the food always spectacular. I shared a short rib, dinner and fried chicken dinner with one of the other guests and both were done extremely well .. probably the best fried chicken I've had in many years, and this was the opinion of the other guest as well. The collard greens were spectacular and I finished off both of our bowls. I like the pinewood is not on the main drag or a crowded part of Nashville. The parking is a little tricky now as they no longer have the lot open across from the front of the building you have to pay attention to signs and park behind. I will continue to recommend Pinewood to anyone who visits Nashville read more

I really enjoyed the steak and eggs, but there was some confusion with some menu items and whether they were available for brunch. The salmon croquettes we wanted weren't available, but my backup stole the show! I didn't love the coffee or cocktails, but I'd go back for the steak again anytime! It was yummy. read more

Went there for a work conference. Pinewood did a great job balancing a couple hundred folks with a well organized meal, bowling, and drinks. The quality of the food and drinks were solid. Thanks Pinewood! read more

Really fun venue for a small group celebration. Reasonable prices on large format foods like sliders and pretzels were a hit. Fun music, retro vibes, and bowling were festive. Wouldn't recommend the large format cocktail, it dripped onto table and got clogged before it was empty. Stick with individual drinks is my advice. Service was inconsistent, both very friendly but also invisible for long stretches. Especially when we needed help with the large cocktail vessel. But really a fun night out that was memorable. read more

i came to pinewood social for fathers day with my husband and his family. we got b bowling lane and my husbands mom opened a tab with our waitress. when my husband and i arrived, my husband started a tab at the bar for drinks. i went up to the bar shortly after him and tried to order a drink. the bartender looked at me and said "don't you have a tab opened with the waitress? she will take your drink order". she refused when i wanted to open a tab, was very snappy, and just unfriendly. i walked away and went up to the next bar tended and asked her "is there a reason why i can't start my own tab?" and she said "no, but your husband just started a tab do you want to put it on his?". oh. my. god. these bartenders wanted to do anything else but let me start a tab. our waitress was nice, but they need to hire some new bartenders. will not be coming back. read more

Ambiance and service were great! The food was average at best!! Leo was attentive and knowledgeable

While the environment was very cute, the food was mediocre. Poached eggs on eggs benedict were basically boiled eggs. The English muffin was cooked so much it could barely be cut. The mimosa was 97% orange juice. read more

Pinewood social was great! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food and drinks were delicious. Even with the bowling alley in the background it was not too loud. The fried chicken plate with the Mac and cheese was wonderful. The gnocci was tangy and spicy. Service was great too. Nice sunset walk views afterwards too. Only downside parking in the deck next door is expensive, try to snag street parking. read more

Such a cool spot with so much to do! You can eat, bowl, hang out on couches, grab drinks at bar, outdoor games like ping pong and connect four, or go by the hot tub. Perfect for date night, group hang, family dinner etc. we originally came to bowl but didn't have a reservation so we didn't end up playing but had a great time though. I dipped my feet in the hot tub and just talked with friends. Then we played some ping pong and went to go sit at the bar. Also they validate parking for the first three hours!! Free parking!! Overall just a super fun place. I'd come back to bowl and eat. Perfect for a casual night or a big group hang. read more

What an awesome atmosphere- something for everyone from the dipping pools, the bowling alley, the living room, dining room and bar. Staff are brilliant - from the warm welcome at the door to the commendable service. Not just introducing themselves (hi, my name is...) but asking yours. Nothing makes me happier than high quality fresh food and good coffee in the morning. I was nurtured and nourished. I had the avocado toast - topped with rich greens, lovely tomato's, cukes, spicy dressing. Added the soft boiled egg - tickled the palete and left me satisfied and smiling. Well done!! read more

Very cool place! Met some friends for brunch and everything was great from entrance to exit. The food was plentiful and very tasty, as were the drinks. It happened to be Mother's Day, so it was busy, but the service was very attentive and friendly. We were on our way to the airport, so they even stored our bags while we ate. The bowling alley in the back is a unique feature. read more

Second time at this establishment and very please with the service and food. First time around I played bowling, second I did brunch. The food was delicious. I ordered the smoke salmon eggs Benedict.

It's a restaurant. It's a bowling alley. It's a fun place to play games and hang out. Pinewood Social is all of those things. If you are looking for a restaurant in Nashville to take your family that is a little more exciting and fun than a regular restaurant, then this is the place. I didn't go bowling or play any of the lawn games on the outdoor patio. (I saw mini golf, giant Connect Four, corn hole and many others.) My group and I just visited Pinewood Social for dinner. But oh boy! The dinner! I ordered the salmon with Brussels sprouts, and it was amazing. It was so amazing that three other people at my table also ordered this dish. We also ordered the shishito peppers for the table, which came sprinkled with sesame seeds and cilantro, with a dollop of some kind of cream on the side. I never partook of the cream, but the shishitos were great. Shishito peppers are something I have to order when they're in season and on a menu. I love that Pinewood offered them. We also got the fried broccoli (so good) and the hush puppies, which came with a side of pimento cheese. The hush puppies are made with South Carolina-made Anson Mills corn meal, so you're getting a lot of South in your mouth. OK, this is the part where I mention the Caesar salad. I love Caesar salad and try to order it when it's offered on a menu, because I'm on a never-ending pursuit to find the best Caesar salad. The Caesar salad at Pinewood Social is pretty great! Partly because it has an ungodly amount of grated Parmesan on it. The salad is big leaves of romaine lettuce with snowy shavings of Parmesan. The salad comes with a big crostini, which I crumbled with my fingers over the salad to make breadcrumbs. It's very simple and lightly dresses, which is the way I like my salads. The Caesar salad with a glass of wine is a great meal unto itself, to be honest. read more

Visited Pinewood Social for a late dinner on our roadtrip. Atmosphere was nice and chill with great very open bar and dining areas. Our server Dalton was attentive and helpful. We had the kids with us and fortunately they have kids menu which was great for our picky eaters. We did have to ask as it was not shown on menu. I had the haddick fish and chips which came with roumelade and was quite flaky and tasty. Kids had a burger and tenders which they ate up and filled their appetite. Also the place has some bowling lanes and games but did not get to try on this visit but next visit we will make sure to make time! read more

I came here for dinner with friends and it's for sure a cool spot. It's located in an industrial area that's away from the hustle near bustle but still gives you great city vibes and views. I love the vibe of this place. It's pretty hipster with an old school meets the new school edgey vibe. Reminds me of a speakeasy meets a 60's bowling alley. We ordered: Shishito peppers-awesome! Get! Lime flavor, and the most delicious creamy sauce. Deviled eggs- told they were good Gnocchi was told it was good Fried chicken with sides-was told it was awesome Short rib was told it was good Mexican Cobb salad with chicken- very good! Great flavors and texture-ask them for dressing on the side in addition to on it. Steak-PASS at all cost. It was inedible. Drinks- I had both mezcal drinks on the menu and fun were awesome! read more

I went to pinewood social on a Wednesday night and had the worst experience. Waffle House service was better than what I experienced Wednesday Night. The food was ran to the wrong table at least on two different occasions. And it took 40 minutes for the food to be brought out. Despite it being reasonably slow for a Wednesday night. Then when I proceeded to ask how long it was going to take for our food, the server responded that the kitchen was out of whack and dysfunctional. Instead of trying to solve the problem overall a horrible experience. read more

Ambiance, food, and especially service was immaculate. I stopped by since I was looking for some coffee and outlets to get some work done on Sunday morning at 10am. I had Pinewood on my radar as a bowling date spot, but I hadn't been aware to how great a place it would be to work. They have a communal table with outlets embedded in, making it absolutely perfect to be productive. My server Hannah was attentive, offering recommendations and making sure I always had water. I got the tiramisu latte per her recommendation, but asked for it to be half as sweet, and it was crafted perfectly. We chatted about food options and she recommended the breakfast burrito with pork belly, and I also got a biscuit on the side while I waited for that to come out. The biscuit was buttery and tender, but I think it would have been better with sausage or some jam. There was a delay with the burrito, and as time passed, management made sure to check in with me. Sean was especially attentive and made my visit feel so special. The can wall is super cool. The bowling lanes are beautifully maintained, and there are so many activities to do and places to sit. I can't wait to visit Nashville again so I can spend more time here! read more
