A downstairs basement bar with speak easy vibes and moody dark lighting. This is a tequila bar -- but also has a fully stocked bar. We went in the afternoon so it was pretty quiet still, but the bar tenders were friendly and helpful. And although I'm not a huge tequila fan, I was impressed with my drink. Prices were reasonable for the drinks we ordered and this bar being located on Broadway. Definitely worth a visit. read more

There's a lot to like about Pushing Daises. It has a nice dark speakeasy vibe in a basement environment. Staff here is very nice and are keen on helping you order the right drink. There was no live music available at the time, but they did have a DJ which I thought was spinning the turntable rather well. It's my bad that I didn't also catch on that his is basically a Tequila Bar, rather than a more general craft cocktail establishment. Judging by the well stocked bar and the word of our waitress, other alcohol and their associated craft creations are available, but it's pretty much off menu and not well into our waitress' repertoire. And yes, Cinco de Mayo was just a few days away. One member of our party just wanted a soft drink, which was not possible that night as their CO2 was down. That did make me wonder whether the non-alcohol drinkers had much to chose from here. I suppose we could have then wandered over to the Redemption Bar at Chief's? Anyway, we're not Tequila Drinkers, and since other drink options appeared to be guesswork, we left towards more traditional mixed drinks (and live music) at a nearby Printers Alley bar. This was a rare night that I really wanted a craft cocktail in a smooth environment, and in the end it just wasn't the same. read more

We came here around 7 pm on a Saturday night and were alerted that pushing daisies had a private party and they would open at 8 pm. We went next door to Blanco for a small bite while we waited, but the staff let us know that we could skip the line with a reservation if we choose to do so. You walk in from Broadway, but have to go down several sets of stairs to get inside the club. The seating is comfortable and plentiful. The space isn't massive, but it is accommodating and larger than I anticipated. We had a great waitress and really enjoyed the dj that was there. The cocktails were excellent too. We tried multiple and each were good. I got the devils vice and it was great. I also ordered the strawberry kiwi smash. I prefer the devils vice over the strawberry, but I can see both being popular. The cocktails are creative and out of the ordinary so I really enjoyed this place. read more

My go-to place to take my friends when they are visiting and want a taste of Broadway. The vibe is so moody and intimate. Feels like a speakeasy once you start walking underneath Broadway, away from the noise and chaos of the average honky tonk bar. The drinks are absolutely amazing. It is a tequila bar and the flavor profiles of the drinks are really great. I typically get a mocktail, but I had the opportunity to taste the Mango Stand and it was delightful. It was spicy on the rim but so yummy and sweet once you begin to sip. My drink of choice for the night was the Fresca Loca made with fresh fruit. Beautifully dressed and a nice beverage to enjoy while out with friends. We were able to get a table and a waitress allowed us to order without lining up at the bar. Great service! read more

Vibey, elite craft cocktails, in an underground speakeasy on Broadway, sure to whisk you away from the downtown scene for something a bit more elevated. I am admittedly NOT a downtown Broadway girlie and do my best to avoid it like the plague. The one way my friends know to entice me out? Promise we will meet up for drinks at Pushing Daisies. Located on Broadway, essentially underneath Assembly Food Hall, Pushing Daisies is a vibey, spacious, speakeasy ambiance. You can make reservations online or wait in line to get in (I never wait for longer than a few minutes.) On a recent Friday evening, we had to pay a $5 cover per person that went to charity, which was a first. The space is humongous but on a weekend night can really fill up and be quite loud, so warning if you're in a large group, you're unlikely to hear each other. I am usually able to snag a table if I arrive on the early side; the bar gets packed more quickly than the tables do and tables have faster service when it's particularly busy, in my opinion. The menu is tequila-forward ("Daisies" in the name being a translation of margarita + playing on the slang for being six feet under, since this is an underground spot.) These are truly craft cocktails to impress anyone and I love bringing out of towners here before they start a night going down Broadway. There are light food items (chips, queso, churros, tacos), but not enough to actually make a real meal. My favorite drinks are always plays on traditional drinks, but using tequila in place of the original spirit; the smoky, smooth old fashioned family Christmas cocktail is a great example of that! They also just do some really classic cocktails with their own subtle twist: a chocolatey El Carajillo they had last year was downright addictive. Overall this is a really fun spot to start or end your downtown evening (for the 21 and up crowd.) My one main gripe is the noise level, but it's easily rectified by coming on the early side. No easy parking in this area but if you're willing to pay a for convenience, the Assembly Garage is right next door to this spot. read more

Would you ever head to Broadway expecting to find an underground tequila craft cocktail bar that's pushing the boundaries of tequila cocktail menus? No. Of course you wouldn't. But they're doing it. Nestled below Broadway in a comfortable, dimly lit space--this bar has great drinks, friendly bartenders, and an outside the box mentality. read more

We came here on a Saturday night. It's more of a club with standing room only at night. I was looking more for a lounge type of vibe, so it wasn't exactly what I expected. Drinks were good but pricey. Keep in mind this is downtown so the prices reflect the location even down to the parking garage. It is very close to other establishments on broadway so maybe add this as a stop earlier in the night. read more

My friend wanted to come try the "matcha" drink here that they stop making after 10pm because of how popular and labor-intensive it is. We arrived around 8pm. There was no line at the entrance or at the bar, so we got served very quickly. The vibes are amazing and the DJ played some great nostalgic tunes! It would be fun to stay longer and pregame Broadway with a bigger group of friends, too. The highball cocktail itself reminded me of a tiki drink, which aren't my favorites usually. My friend said for some people this was their top drink ever, but I guess we have to agree to disagree with them. Not fans of the smoky scent! But overall still a lovely experience to start our night on Broadway. The bathrooms are individual stalls (great for privacy but still enough room if your girlfriends want to join you inside), and there is an attendant on site as well. read more

Probably my favorite speakeasy on Broadway. It's just SO PRETTY and I'm obsessed with the bar and the fabulous cocktails. The bartenders always nail it, no matter what you order. I've tried multiple cocktails - both on and off menu - and loved every one. The spark plug espresso martini shot is unique and just unbelievably good. I think one night our big party did 3 of them. It's just the best! Sometimes there's a DJ or music, and the hours here are a little weird (sometimes they close way earlier than I'd expect, like 10p) and we have to find another spot to hang after. Overall, it's a really cool place and usually there isn't too bad of a wait to get in. Crowds here are also hit or miss depending on the day/time/events & happenings. Sometimes it's busy and poppin and other times there's only a handful of people around. Either way, you'll have a dang good drink. read more

My husband and I stumbled into this place. We just ordered drinks. My husband ordered El Jardín (astral blanco tequila, ancho reyes verde, yellow bell pepper, cilantro, poblano chile) And I ordered the Margarita de Coco (rosaluna mezcal, blanco tequila, espelette pepper, noix de coconut, madagascar vanilla) Service was nice and not overbearing and ambiance is pretty but the music the DJ was playing doesn't fit the scene. Other than that we will come back to enjoy their drinks. read more

Dimly lit cocktail bar serving tequila drinks ranging from "citrusy and bright" to "vegetal and spicy". It's on Broadway, but a nice retreat from the craziness up on the street level. The DJ was playing a really nice mix and we loved our cocktail- Oaxacan High Five. Service was also great. It was a little busy, but we never felt ignored. read more

We have been wanting to try this speakeasy vibe cocktail bar. Every past attempt we have left given the long line sprawling the street, luckily we happened to be downtown mid-week and it was painless to walk right in and have a cozy booth seating. Their menu is creative and fun, and our server explained tequila forward as that is their specialty. As old fashioned lovers, we had to try "The Old Fashioned Guey" and to stick with their speciality focus the "Strawberry Kiwi Smash" marg! The Old Fashioned Guey - comes out in a stunning two glass process where the server removes the top and smokey delightfulness fills your nostrils - it's a sultry, sexy experience!!! The taste - it was much sweeter than I anticipated, make sure you enjoy some sugar. The Strawberry Kiwi Smash - so juicy and yummy, exactly what you'd imagine, comes with fresh fruit pieces. Would be an easy one to drink a lot of!!! The only downside (which is to be anticipated and totally understandable) is that the portion sizes didn't quite match the price point. With the added downtown liquor tax and tip, you are essentially paying double what you'd spend on drinks anywhere but downtown broadway. Be ready and know you're paying for the location and atmosphere. A solid spot for a one-time experience as locals, but won't be a regular go-to for us. read more

Hidden below street level, Pushing Daisies brings big energy to Nashville's late-night scene. The whole basement-level speakeasy-club hybrid thing totally works here. It's got a moody, stylish energy with Top 40, hip hop, and dance beats that get the crowd moving--especially after 11pm when it really fills in. If you're looking for a night out that's more "cool scene" and less "full-blown Broadway chaos," this is a great bet. Big plus: even though it gets packed, they've got booths and tables available without a spend minimum, which is rare in nightlife these days. You can actually grab a seat, catch your breath, and not feel like you have to be a VIP to enjoy yourself. That said, the line can get brutal--I'd say if you're waiting more than 20 minutes, skip it and try your luck elsewhere. But if the line is moving? Totally worth it. Good music, solid crowd, and a space that feels just edgy enough without trying too hard. read more

Very beautiful inside! They keep a line at the restrooms! The drinks where an interesting use of tequila and STRONG! The DJ... do your thang mister! He played some reggaeton throwbacks! And some dance hall! There weren't any cringe creepy men lurking! Definitely coming back! read more

Loved this space! Stopped by before a night on Broadway and it did not disappoint. Staff was friendly, drinks were really good, we also got the guacamole and queso and I could have drank the queso! Comfortable seating and there was a DJ. We made a reservation for a Friday around 6pm and it was relatively quiet when we got there but picked up quick. So would recommend just to make sure you have a nice place to sit. The big booths looked really comfy. read more

long story short: a very cool spot with delicious drinks but long wait times We went to Pushing Daises on a Friday evening & it was packed. The vibe was very cool with dimmed lights & a DJ, & we had a lot of fun despite of the busyness. We waited a long time for drinks, but I thought they were worth the wait; the margaritas were spectacular & every other drink I tried was delicious. My only issue was with the service; we called ahead to put our name in for a table (as they don't take reservations) but once we arrived, we were denied a table because we weren't informed that a table came with a (high) spending minimum. Between being denied a table & waiting at least 30 minutes for our first round of drinks, my experience was a little bit frustrating. But we still had a good time & really enjoyed the drinks. read more

The drinks are amazing, but the service is a bit rough. We sat at the bar, and there were three bartenders talking to each other while another one was making drinks. One came up and set two waters for us next to me. I had to reach over and get them and hand one to my husband. It was weird she wouldn't set them in front of us. We assumed the three talking weren't bartenders because of how strange it was they wouldn't help us. After a few minutes of not being asked to order, we asked the one bartender working if he was the only person making drinks. He turned around and told the trio to help us. The same woman who gave us the waters came over, didn't greet us, and coldly asked us what we wanted to order. We gave her our order, she made the drinks, gave us the tab, and then immediately walked away to go back and talk. It was so uncomfortable I wanted to leave. Thankfully, we ended up meeting Will. He was so friendly and fun to talk to! Unfortunately his shift was over, so we ended up leaving. We would have stayed had we not had such a negative experience with the original bartender. read more

Awesome spot on broadway to get away from broadway! I'm not a big fan of honkytonks...yea yea I know, broad is the Mecca of them but hear me out before you grab your pitch forks. I was born and raised in middle Tennessee, so I know the vast selection of music this area has to offer and it is MUSIC CITY, after all not country city. That PSA aside, I enjoy a low lit, speakeasy vibe and this place knocks it out of the park. Just one word of caution, if you are wanting some good conversation I might suggest not sitting right by the PA...it get's a little hard to hear. Aside from that, no complaints; the food was good, specialty tequila cocktails superb and the eye candy plentiful. read more

We were walking past in the early evening and saw they were having a Pushing Poinsettias Christmas pop-up. We had to check it out, and it did not disappoint.

We were fortunate enough to drop in on a Thursday, because when we passed by Friday night, the line to get in was insane! read more

A large group of friends came from out of town for the holiday. 7/4. Out of 10 people , one person was denied entry for "dress code", while multiple people walked out of the same place with the same exact attire on. The General manager was beyond degrading and disrespectful when trying to question the actual issue. She even acknowledged that multiple people were walking out with the same shorts on and still denied entry of one of our friends without actual reason. The people leaving the place in this exact attire were very much non colored and one of the other managers even stated "well it looks better . Neither manager took accountability for their blatant prejudices and discriminations. I wouldn't recommend spending time or money in a place that' treats humans in this way. Anywhere else is more worth it ! read more

I want to give this place five stars but I just can't. I will start off by saying it's really cute. The DJ played good music. The bartenders drinks were great and we were getting amazing service until the manager, Megan, ruined our experience. She was very rude and condescending towards her staff in front of us. I went there with a group of six friends two weeks ago. We were having a great time. We ordered plenty of drinks and food from our server; however we did not want bottle service because we were all drinking different types of alcohol. After ordering so much from our server, she sat us at a table that she believed was not reserved. We just placed an order for another round of food and drinks. Megan walks over to the table we were seated at and yelled at the server, in front of us, for sitting us there. I was humiliated for the server. I've been a supervisor for many years and know from management 101, you do not treat your staff in such way. I believe your company needs more managerial training to prevent situations like this from occurring. I really hate leaving reviews like this but believe this should be addressed. I hope no one else will experience the same thing we experienced. read more

This is probably my favorite bar in Nashville easy. Personally I'm someone who can only take so much country (I know wrong place to visit) and this place not offered great cocktails and vibes but the music was some amazing early 2000s remixes. The menu is extensive with so many amazing options, my personal favorite was the devils vice and I had like 3. We loved this place so much we went two days in a row and got the same waitress twice! Not only was she super nice and helpful, the first night my card got declined due to reaching my daily limit and she was totally cool about it while I paid with another card. I feel like situations like that can be so awkward and she didn't make it feel that way at all! I believe her name was Hannah! I will visit this bar every single time I come back to Nashville! read more

When I came in I had on slides and the lady at the front mentioned they don't allow open toe shoes typically but she would make an exception only for me to get in the bar and 90% of the women had on slides or some type of open toe shoes. I enjoyed the drinks but was definitely over charged by Rachelle. Michael then came along we placed an order with him for the same drinks and the price was cheaper. He had a better personality and an actual smile on his face and was more pleasant to deal with. The atmosphere was cool. The music ok would go back for the drinks and would hope to get Michael as the bar tender. read more

One of my favorite places during our vacation here. This little speakeasy was right next to Hattie B's so we stopped by right after lunch. We had no reservations and was greeted so kindly at the door and got seated right away. Their drinks were delicious (all margarita lovers must come here!!!) and the atmosphere was so special. The afternoon vibe was very relaxing, but I did see a DJ booth so I'm assuming it gets a bit crazier at night! Highly recommend for some drinks here! read more

Pushing Daisies was such an unexpected, welcome surprise considering we were in the land of Honky Tonks! I love scoping out cocktail lounges, speakeasies and the likes when I'm in a new city so after a few honky tonks I had to end the night here and it was the perfect night cap. Very spacious, dim lights, expansive seating, throwback hip hop and R&B and creative cocktails. Unofficial dance floor near the DJ. Totally took advantage getting my steps in dancing! I can't wait to be back when in Nashville! read more
