The drinks are very good and offer a wide variety of different liquors so there is truly something for everyone. They do not have food, but there is a food truck right out the door that delivers to your table (also offers to go service), so it is a good option for casual drinks & dining. I wish the level of service matched the price point. I feel that I have come on nights where it hasn't been crowded, but the service is very slow and passive. I wish I could give a 3.5 star out of 5.

I ordered the Global Convenience, which came with a potato chip and caviar. I loved the presentation--it was such a fun touch! Service was excellent and attentive. The only downside was that the bar area is pretty loud, so it can be a little difficult to carry on a conversation. Overall, a great happy hour spot with delicious oysters, creative cocktails, and excellent service. I'd definitely come back!

This is my first time at this venue and it reminds me of the Old Forrester Music Hall in Louisville. Limited seating, balcony views, and spartan decor. Full bar and large open concept with the possibility of dancing to the music. Several local patrons sitting near us filled me in more on the history of the property. Specifically, that it's not nearly as appealing as it used to be prior to changing ownership to a larger management group who apparently came in and "white washed" the place. They spoke wistfully of the prior decor and memorabilia that was removed and how much of the allure of the space was erased. After speaking with them, I wish I could have seen the place prior to now.

Jerica and Lindsey were the bartenders that took care of us and they were absolutely amazing! These two ladies are so kind to us and make certain that we were accommodated. The drinks were really yummy! The overall vibe of this place is awesome. Cool music, volleyball courts, a sheltered area with fans and beer pong tables, all of the bell and whistles. They even have little inflatable kiddie pools just in case your doggo needs to cool off. While we were there, they had pop up tents set up and I was able to grab some cool swag. 10/10 will definitely be back! read more

Sadly, since the change in ownership, it seems to have gone downhill quickly. On our recent visits, they no longer had the ingredients needed to make many of the cocktails, the food has essentially disappeared from the menu--with only popcorn available--and the music was so painfully loud that we felt like we needed earplugs. What was once a unique destination now feels like just another bar on the Gallatin strip, which is really disappointing because the original Tiger Bar had so much character and potential. At this point, I would even suggest considering a name change. Many of the older, glowing reviews reflect the Tiger Bar that existed under the previous ownership and, unfortunately, don't represent the experience today. If it had not been for the kind staff (I counted only 3 which may explain why tables were sticky) I would give zero stars. Giving 2 stars because the staff was friendly and kind and seemed to be trying , the bar tender did attempt to offer drink suggestions. They are not the blame for downfall of a once cool bar and vibe.
