Winston L.

Four friends and I went on a weekday afternoon and where they have a 50% off promotion. One odd thing when we arrived. I purchased passes online, got a confirmation e-mail from Play Playground and a separate e-mail showing my payment. The staff asked me to find an e-mail that said "OTP code" with a QR code they could scan. Tried for 5 minutes and they were able to confirm my name. They wound up just letting me in without the OTP e-mail. I finally got the e-mail 30 hours after the reservation time.... Anyways, back to the review. We bought the normal pass (non-VIP) which gives you 300 points. Every event is 15 points, so you can do 20 different things, which I thought was plenty. We actually left before we were able to use all the points up. They had 9 paid games and 1 free one setup for us to play when we went. Here's my rankings of the games: Doctor Doctor - A memory game involving putting parts on a dummy. Place in body parts in a specific order. Move It - kind of like a really big version of Bop It. There were 8 things to interact with. The twist it was having some issues, so be gentle with that one, otherwise it thinks you messed up the next action. Wordsicle - making words similar to Boggle. Longer words for bonus points. The game is split into three rounds with the board changing two times in the middle without warning. 3 letter words are ok. Biggle Ball (free) - moving a ball through a large labyrinth to get it to the end. A handlebar on each side if you want to play as a team. High Five - hitting buttons on a wall as they light up. Hitting unlit buttons make you lose points. The marketing photo is a guy doing a reverse jump split (you will not be doing this ) Ringer Run - moving a metal ring quickly over a pipe. Small penalty for hitting the pipe. Record Time - dodging discs while crossing a beam. If you want to dodge, it makes for a more interesting game. If you want a high score, you can just barrel through the course. Perfect Popper - moving pieces and matching them to holes on a wall. All the pieces drop straight out, so you can look directly below. Whirly Wipeout - trying to stay on a spinning disk. There's not much keeping you on there, so most of us were off in a few seconds. Our last player stayed on for quite a while, so he was asked to do a roll. He fell off and got a burn from the spinning disk on his arm. Watch out on this one! Bullseye - wearing a Velcro suit and jumping on a wall. The Velcro wasn't working super well for us full grown adults. Also, there wasn't much of an object to the "game". There's also a balloon room where you can take selfies. You can get some pretty cool photos. There's also another room where you can pose with props, but it is backlit, so the pictures don't come out well. Last place to visit is the rooftop. One of our friends went up for a few minutes to take a call, but there is no air conditioning up there. Might be a nice place at night. The temperature in here was really warm inside. It was made even worse with the physical activity. One of our favorite activities was standing by one of the portable Air Conditioners and drinking water. Maybe everything is better with drinks? I feel like we had a pretty optimal scenario, not having to wait for games and getting in at a discounted rate, but we still left a bit disappointed. I think they have the right idea, but there need to be way more games and more interesting games.

We visited Play Playground in Nashville and purchased the unlimited play option for two hours. While we had a fun time overall, it didn't quite feel worth the price. There weren't as many games as we expected based on the advertising, and several of the games either weren't working properly or had missing pieces, which was disappointing considering the cost. The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights. The venue is energetic, colorful, and a great spot to hang out with friends. The drinks were also really good, although a bit pricey but that's pretty typical for Nashville. Overall, we enjoyed our visit, but it's probably more of a one-time experience for us. If all of the games were fully functional and there were more activities available, it would have felt like a much better value. Fun atmosphere and good drinks, but the gameplay experience didn't quite live up to the hype.

This is a really cool bar/location with a river view with plenty of awesome amenities with Dolly Parton nostalgia.

This place was sooo much fun. I did a package for my daughter's 21st birthday and it did not disappoint. The rooftop is so cute. We had my dad and his girlfriend who are in their 70's and they had a blast. Our party was on Sunday and it was slow which was perfect for our group.

Some folks have mix reviews on Play Playground but coming from someone that's done a full buyout of playground in Vegas for a corporate event and visited the Nashville location at least two times I can honestly say it's a solid entertainment options. It's not D&B and that's what's great about. The Nashville location has one of the best rooftops in the city which makes it the perfect locations for a fun and playful group outing for about two to three hours. That's the perfect amount of time to enjoy all the old school games and experiences. Let me tell you how to PLAY. Make this a midday stop during your next Sunday Funday to beat the crowd and have an opportunity to enjoy all the experiences. Grab the play pass that allows you enough swipes to try all the games. Take advantage of all the fun photo ops and after you've worked up an appetite head over to your table that you reserved a head of time because your such a smarty . Enjoy the buffalo cauliflower, Tennessee smash burger and a themed cocktail. This spot is seriously for the folks that are playful at heart that just want a little old skool fun. I'm a fan and my corporate guests were huge fans. Give them a visit and bring your playful vibes. You'll have a blast if good old fashion fun is your thing and you're in good company.

Stopped by Sunday to enjoy a cocktail and tunes on the rooftop and it did not disappoint. The DJ was playing nothing but hits which made it hard to leave. Our drinks were good and the Nashville sliders were amazing. The homemade chips came out hot and fresh and are worth going back for alone.

We went to Playground Nashville in July to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. The concept is fun and the games are unique, but the overall experience just didn't land for me. It was absolutely packed, so crowded that we could barely move around, and the wait times between each game were long. On top of that, it was extremely hot inside (we were literally dripping sweat), which made it tough to enjoy the activities. The drinks were also not good, which was disappointing for the price, so stick to basic call drinks. The space itself is much smaller than it looks online, and overall it felt very expensive for what you get. That said, we still made the most of it, laughed our way through, and had fun celebrating together as a group of mid-to-late 20-somethings. Overall: fun to try once, but I wouldn't plan on going back.

Truly a lot of fun. Perfect for a day or night visit. Food and bar options along with several interactive games. Check in process is fast and easy. Once you are there you will have two options for play card choices. The first option seemed to cover all the bases and allowed you all the time you need on the property. The second more expensive option limits time to 2 hours. If you want to enjoy the rooftop area you can it is outdoors and overlooks the river and Nissan Stadium. I've included several photos and the game options are more adult oriented and are games of skill. I didn't see many young kids in there. Overall fun experience worthy of a visit. You can fill out a waiver at the kiosk to save some time.

Jessica L.

Lots of fun! I loved how interactive everything was and the staff were super friendly. The drinks were really good too and had a large menu. The rooftop views are amazing! Go on an off day so you don't have to wait in line for games.

Warren D.

Date of visit: March 15, 2025 We noticed the Las Vegas outlet at the Luxor the last time we were there but didn't investigate it, so when we were getting together with some friends in Nashville, this seemed like a great opportunity to give it a whirl and we had a great time while we were there! You start with the usual waiver and payment processes but staff there was very helpful and friendly. This isn't a cheap experience, so do what you can to make the most of your time here; take advantage of the free things such as the Connect 4 or the giant Marble Madness tables and definitely watch others playing as well. That being said, this was a great thing to do with a group of four for a couple of hours. From the Velcro wall to the dodging game, there was a little something for everyone and we had a blast trying out all of the games. I wouldn't bother with the unlimited credits option, a couple times through is plenty for all of the games.

First off, I will say that I really love the idea of this place. The fact that you can play similar games that you played as a kid while being an adult and having a few drinks is really fun! I was lucky enough to be invited to an event here. I will say lines for games did get kind of long. That is to be expected because there aren't a ton of games and if it is very busy, there's not a lot of space for people to go. I ordered a couple of drinks and they were fine. Staff seemed friendly, but they did have their hands full, especially on the main game floor. When we went up to the rooftop, there were more bartenders that were happy to help and service got better. The only downside I see to this place is the price. Although I love the idea of playing all these games and having a lot of fun with friends/family, paying over $60 for two hours of gameplay per person is a bit much in my opinion. I do like the fact that you can hang onto your game pass and reload it when you come back for $20. I just think that for a casual night out or a date night, if you get pretty expensive very quickly. Would definitely come back, would just depend on the circumstances. read more

I am not the kind of person to come and write reviews on things if they're bad but this one felt like I needed to. We were excited to play some grown up fun games, thought it was like an adult friendly Dave and busters. Spent $83 for two people to play the games for what was told would be around 90 minutes worth of points. Once inside there were about 4 different games that you could use the points on. The rest of the games like tic tac toe, connect 4, etc, were free. If you go it's my opinion the games passes aren't worth it. read more

KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS if you come here!! Last day in Nashville on March 2nd, went in to check the place out as they had just opened. Decided to have lunch there because the staff said the food was pretty good, ordered the chicken sandwich and two peach high noons, waitress was nice, chicken sandwich was good, got my bill, paid left a ten dollar tip on the tab. Played some games, staff was friendly and definitely there to hype the games up, had an alright time. Flew out of Nashville early Monday morning, checked my bank statement that week to track spending in Nashville, someone decided to give themselves a nice tip and changed the total I wrote down. Two high noons and a chicken sandwich shouldn't cost $95 even after a tip. My total after tip was $45. read more

Play Playground has potential to be a great time, but our experience was completely ruined by one of the staff members, Courtney who claimed her name was "um um Brittany". We had to ask another staff member to get her real name. She blatantly ignored our group when we asked for help with a game. Instead of assisting us, she prioritized the group behind us and even allowed them to cut in front of us with no explanation. When I directly asked her for help, she gave a dismissive "sure" and then immediately walked away to talk to another customer, never returning to assist us. Her behavior was rude, unprofessional, and showed a clear lack of regard for fairness or basic customer service. The space itself is fun, but with staff like Courtney, it's hard to recommend. Management seriously needs to address the way guests are being treated. read more

The doors opened, and before me, a beautifully appointed bar and a very cozy ambiance enhanced by candlelight. The menu offerings were not extensive yet the options to pair with the "long list" of bespoke craft cocktails were perfect. The assorted shapes, sizes and shades of olives were my first delight. I wound up with a charcuterie-esque combination of sour dough that included a creamy cheese smear along the inside of the dish, a prosciutto-like ham, and the most unexpectedly delicious bowl of warm, smoky carrots in a romesco. Not a drop got left behind thanks to the sour dough. Whatever music was playing in the background, added to the swanky vibe. This is the kind of gem that is meant to be savored by every one of your senses.

Update: I went to the new location this month and it was a lovely experience (minus being hard to…read morefind because of construction and lack of signs in the area.

I was impressed that they were able to play all the songs that were requested. Overall a fun night!!

I'm 30 years old and have used this license without issue for years. When I asked what specifically was wrong with the ID, nobody could provide an explanation. Instead, staff consulted a manager and simply told me they would not be serving me. Meanwhile, the other members of my group, all around the same age and carrying valid IDs, were able to order drinks without issue. As an Asian customer, I left this establishment believing I was racially profiled. I was singled out, denied service despite presenting valid identification, and never given a legitimate explanation for why my ID was supposedly unacceptable. Since the incident, I have found multiple reviews from other customers of color describing experiences that raised similar concerns about profiling and disparate treatment. The entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and unacceptable. There are plenty of businesses in Nashville that can verify IDs without treating customers this way.

Then came another long wait, we waited about 20 minutes just to get our drinks, even though the bar was nearly empty. On the bright side, the drinks were great. I ordered an El Carajillo, and it was really good! The horchata crème in it was SOOOO good and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service issues continued. When the waitress brought the check for me to sign, I realized she had not returned my credit card. I had to track her down to get it back, and while doing so, I ran into another customer who had experienced the exact same thing. They have great drinks and normally provide a good experience, so hopefully this was just an off night.

My experience started with me asking where the "play" part was, when I was responded to by a very disgruntled bar tender who clearly was upset that she had an empty bar when she said, "ask the people in the striped shirt" instead of simply telling us to go to the 3rd or 4th floor. So that was cool. Moving on, we went to the 3rd floor, asked for a water and a cocktail, got charged $18, I tipped on it of course, and then the bartender (redhead) made it VERY clear that she was not happy. She yelled, ALL THAT AND A TIP LIKE THIS?! AND SHE ONLY TOOK 3 SIPS OF HER (free) WATER?! we then moved to the 4th floor, where I was charged, once again, EIGHTEEN DOLLARS for half a shot. We went to take the elevator back down to the 3rd floor, when we realized that at 12:40, 20 minutes BEFORE THEY CLOSED, that the elevator was turned off for both the 3rd and 4th floor. I left my birthday sash on the 3rd floor, but did anyone care? NOPE! I was super excited to go to this bar, it looked like a pretty cool experience, but the redhead on the 3rd floor combined with the boney long-haired blonde for sure ruined my experience. Thanks a lot, Nashville! I could have gotten an entire BOTTLE of Tito's for $21.99, but y'all charged me $18 for two half shots, accompanied by some serious attitude and unprofessionalism. read more

I have come over from the UK to Nashville to enjoy and we came across Play Playground. We purchased the VIP pass which I think is really good for the price! You get a cocktail included in the price you pay and unlimited games for 2 hours. The music was really good throughout the night too, they matched the ambience throughout. What I didn't know until I was leaving, is that when you play the games, you get points, which you spend in the gift shop downstairs! Mackenzie was a sweetheart and explained how it all worked and we got some really cool merch! 10/10- Would recommend to come here, the games were fun and the whole experience was amazing! I'd recommend the collectible cup too! read more
