Honesty hour, we went out in Nashville after 10pm. Apparently, there are limited options at that time, when it isn't the weekend. We decided to try out this place after walking to a couple of other places that were not like their descriptions. This place has a nice ambience, nice staff, and a ton of beers and ciders on tap. The prices weren't bad for the drinks or beer. Between 5-8 for the beer/cider. Around 10-12 for cocktails. Oh, and the kitchen closes at 11. Now on to the food, we got the burger and the chimichanga. We were splitting them so we went for something a little different with the chimichanga. We also got the cheesesteak egg rolls. Sounds fantastic, right? Unfortunately, the burger was the only highlight. Everything else got a HUGE FAIL! The chimichanga was super soggy. The rice and beans were ok. The cheesesteak egg rolls were just BAD! No taste at all. Now on to our drinks. We first ordered their take on a margarita. They used silver Tequila so it had a very heavy tequila taste. It was ok. He wound up with the punch. It was ok. Mind you, we were traveling all day and ate everything. So, it was edible. All and all, if you need somewhere to go late, then try it. Just stick to very regular things. The staff is nice ,so, that is worth a visit based on that alone. read more

Tavern is THE Nashville brunch spot. {starters} I have tried a good portion of the starter selections - but the buffalo cauliflower, brussels and tavern fries stand out above the rest. The mussels are also a great option for dinner or happy hour. {entrees} I'm a huge fan of benedicts, and Tavern kills it with each of their 3 options - aptly named uno, dos, and (for some reason) three. Uno is my favorite, with braised short rib and Tobasco hollandaise. It is absolutely delicious. Other great options are the Nooner - which is a bacon scramble with fried oysters and spicy sour cream - and the Singapore Stir-fry, with wok-style rice, a sunny-side-up egg, and bacon. You really can't go wrong with any of the Tavern's fantastic brunch selections, but these stand out for sure. {libations} Possibly the reason that Tavern is so popular among Nashville brunch-goers, is the 2-for-1 deal they offer during brunch all weekend. The selection is fairly standard, with mimosas, a bellini, two bloody mary renditions, and a very sweet sangria. My favorite is the blood orange mimosa, but each drink has its merits. Overall, Tavern is a wonderful place for any brunch occasion and I will continue to dine here often as long as I am in Nashville. The wait is brutal so make sure you arrive early to start off with a beverage in the sun on their outdoor waiting area. Enjoy! read more

Tavern - Red Velvet Waffle and chicken sausage - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Totally my kinda place w/ a cool vibe and is perfect for watching sports HOWEVER I'm not a big fan of spicy. Ordered the hot chickerrones as an app and although it was initially delicious, it was too spicy for my tasting and I barely ate them. Wednesday 2p-10p was 2 for 1; I ordered Pablo Honey & it was not to my tasting but appreciated the build. I didn't feel like having my 2nd drink & asked our waiter Davis if I could give it to my husband, he said "No" so I then ordered the Lavanda Punch. It was ok but by then I didn't feel like drinking and it was a moot point so I nursed it to not be wasteful. There were long pauses in the service and we wouldn't see Davis for up to 10 mins at a time. We watched a couple share a s'mores dessert where you made it yourself over a small open flame - I WANT to come back JUST to try it. My husband returned a few days later w/ our son and they said that the hamburgers were delicious. read more

The best spot for brunch in Nashville. We arrived around 10:15am on a Saturday (the Tavern opened at 10am) and the wait was about 30 minutes for a party of 2. We were sat at the bar and appropriately socially distanced from other guests. You can't beat the 2 for 1 drink specials. I had the blood orange mimosas (delicious!) and my friend had the Bellini sparkle, which was good but definitely on the sweeter side. We split the fries with garlic aioli to start. Super crispy and tasty. My friend had the red velvet waffle, which she enjoyed. I had the Singapore stir fry, which was good, but I definitely would try something different next time. Overall, a good experience and cool vibe. read more

As a local, everyone always told me I had to try Tavern. My friends and I finally went last night. We called right before we left and they told us it would be about an hour wait and allowed us to put down our name on the wait list. We were very thankful when we got there and only had to wait about ten minutes. It was a Friday night, so it took a minute for apps and food to come out. For apps, we got the nachos, a couple of the tavern fries, and the buffalo cauliflower. All tasted great!!! We weren't too impressed with the entrees, they were overpriced. I got the short rib tacos. They didn't have a lot of flavor, there was only a few pieces of meat on the taco with a few pieces of cucumber, and the tortilla were hard like they were left out. read more

Tavern - Nachos - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Hostess staff was quite frustrating at the beginning, luckily our server Travis was much better! Knowledgeable on the menu and great throughout our brunch. The huevos rancheros was very authentic and tasted excellent with the Cuban black beans. Red velvet waffle (had to try) was deeeelightful! Cream cheese drizzle was enough sweetness and everything left me wanting more! Do good forgot to take pictures Tried the mezcal bloody (blood and smoke) and it was pretty good, bacon in it was a nice snack! 2019 update: still amazing! fave waffle spot tried the Bennie this time and was delighted! read more

Tavern - red velvet waffle (still the best), blueberry cornmeal waffle, pulled pork Benedict - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great service and atmosphere! 2 for 1 brunch drinks were great. Breakfast Food was not so good - very bland. Had the braised pork eggs Benedict and would not recommend. The eyes were cooked perfect and the Hollandaise sauce was good - but pork was totally bland. Several at the table did not enjoy the entrees just due to lack of seasoning. read more

Good place- while got there early , 5:30 ish/ had 20 minute wait. Went upstairs at bar, ate there/ glad we did. Food good, nachos were awesome and friend has Nashville hog chicken- good with a bite. Will return read more

Great service! We went for brunch on Father's Day and although they were busy, the service was still on point. The hostess made an special exception for us. Definitely have a bloody Mary if you're going for brunch. I ordered the Benedix dose and it was delicious! Next time I would like to try something different to make my way through the menu. Whatever you do ....order the White Trash Hash!! read more

Everyone needs to go to The Tavern! I've never had service this good in Nashville, and I'm so glad we decided to come here for brunch! The wait wasn't bad at all, and the food was spectacular! The two-for-one brunch cocktails were amazing, and I love the fact that you can mix and match the cocktails! I'm gluten-intolerant, and the first thing the server asked us was if there were any food allergies - as someone that can rarely eat a sandwich at a restaurant, I couldn't have been more pleased with the BLT!!! I couldn't recommend this place more!!!! Emma and Kimber are AWESOME!!!! read more

Tavern is part of M Street but isn't located near the others in the gulch (Virago, Whiskey Kitchen, etc) it's in midtown. Tavern is a great option for upscale gastropub grub in Nashville. It's typically VERY busy during peak hours and is frequented by Vanderbilt students. I enjoy it the most during off hours and when school is out and the students aren't around. Not sorry. They have an excellent craft beer list (try the gotta get up to get down) and some great cocktails you won't find anywhere else (try the Chipotle Rose for a spicy kick + add tacos). They have a FANTASTIC burger (one of the best in Nashville) and great brunch with 2 for 1 brunch libations. They also have a s'mores station option for desert that is just a blast. There is complimentary valet which is just the best. read more

Tavern - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Our group of gals headed over to Tavern for a brunch while visiting Nashville for a bachelorette party. We were a party of five, and while we waited for a table, we found a back bar that was quieter than the main dining room chock-full of brunchers and bach parties ( I literally had no idea that Nashville was such a bach party destination). At this little back bar was one of the most chill bartenders, Rebekah, who took care of us with delicious bloody marys and bellinis (and much needed waters). During brunch, there is a two-for-one on their Brunch Libations which includes bloody marys, mimosas, bellinis, and sangria. Definitely worth it. We opted to sit outside since the weather was pleasant. The prices are really fair especially since some of the dishes were massive. I split the Singapore Stir Fry with another gal, and my own dish seemed like one serving. I also got avocados to mash into it! I do feel like this dish could've had more oomph of flavor, but maybe its toned down for the hoi polloi so ask for some hot sauce! The Maple Fondue is great to try a little bit of everything on their menu, and I love savory and sweet flavors together. Standout was the grilled spicy chicken sausage. Great for the whole table. Not sure if it was because we were outside, but our waitress (not Rebekah, but a different gal) was a bit MIA at times. Note to folks wanting to eat outside during the summer, at some point it will get warm, haha, so maybe bring a fan 'cause what's brunch without a cute fan. I'd definitely suggest this as a great spot to bring a group for brunch, and would be interested to check them out on a return visit for other eating hours and to peruse their beer selection! $11.50 SINGAPORE STIR FRY #1 short-grain rice / sunny side up eggs / bacon / scallions / sweet & spicy soy / wok-flavored $17 MAPLE FONDUE ( FOR THE TABLE) warm maple syrup / fresh fruit / red velvet waffle / grilled sausages / pain perdu read more

Tavern - Chickarrones, NOT Fried Chicken Skin. - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Came on a Saturday at 2 and they said it would be about an hour wait which was fine considering it's Saturday. They didn't tell us until about 15 minutes before we got seated that we wouldn't be served brunch anymore. They showed us the menu we would be eating off of and it had little to no options. They gave us a "late lunch" menu that is from 3-5 and said their "lunch and dinner" menu doesn't start until 5 which had way more options on it. Since we had already waited an hour we decided to just stay considering we already paid for parking as well. When we got seated our waitress was not very nice. The food was not that great and when we paid she shorted me change. I'm sure the brunch would be worth it, but The overall experience was just not great and I don't think I would return. read more

We had a late dinner reservation Friday night and decided to grab some appetizers before hand. For starters, use the valet service. The parking lot next door is not an open parking lot and you do have to pay the meter. They have a really nice patio with string lights which would be really nice to sit on in the summer time. Brunch is served on Saturday and sundays from 10 -3 and they have 2 for 1 libations. They also have a late night menu for those of you that need some fuel after a night of drinking from 11-1. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower, a bucket of mussels and nachos with angry chicken. The buffalo cauliflower is tossed in a corn meal batter and the hot sauce is pretty spicy if you like spicy foods. It came with a side of cucumbers which really helped kick some of the heat. The nachos came topped with chile-spiked black beans, three cheese blend, cheddar and jalapeños. The service was pretty good and there wasn't a wait when we walked in which is always good. This restaurant has a lot to offer and I would definitely return on my next trip back to Nashville! read more

I had high hopes for the Tavern. We were at a conference in Nashville with the plan to have a nice work dinner. It's diner time and I've had a bagel and pringels all day so I'm starving. So we get there and the atmosphere is great. It's got an upscale gastrointestinal type of feel (old meets new, outdoor lights, garage door windows). The service is also excellent. We had a big group and someone came just often enough to check on us. Drinks were quick. Food was quick. Even the food presentation was fun. My burger came in a big metal tin plate thing and fries were in a little metal basket. However, when you're going out to eat, food is what's important. I had the most tasteless burger I've eaten. No taste. Nothing special whatsoever. Soggy but decent fries. Everything else was great, but the food (at least what I ordered) needed work. Updated: they also brought us some tasty shot drinks and s'mores deserts. S'mores I tell you! Over an open flame! The burger was still meh, but everything else was great. read more

Cute little spot. Fun appetizers and decent drink menu. Didn't love the $9.50 for a Bearded Iris Homestyle totally unacceptable especially for being local craft beer. With had a few mixed drinks. Reasonable price. Cut little set up too read more

Tavern - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

What a bummer this place was... after doing some extensive research on Nashville brunches and struggling to pick this place over two other options I decided to give Tavern a try anyways based on the reviews. The physical space is very nice and I thought I would get to enjoy some of the ambience that the Tavern provides. Unfortunately when I walked in a as a single diner, I was placed in the back bar in a dimly lit table facing a wall with a TV totally excluded from any sort of interaction with most of the other diners and most importantly just sitting in the dark during a Beautiful Sunday afternoon. They offer a two-for-one special on drinks I tried both the red and white sangria neither of which tasted remotely like sangria and we're also loaded with ice so they became watered-down down quite quickly. Finally the food itself I don't even know where to begin. I guess the best way to sum it up is by saying I took a picture and sent it to a friend and their response was "It looks gross. Either too runny or too plasticy... And if neither of those half the shit under that gross stuff on top looks burnt" I ordered the Benedict Uno which is described on their menu as -- braised short ribs / 2 soft poached eggs / English muffin / Tabasco hollandaise. I would like to point out that it was just eggs benedict no sides like hash browns or greens or anything almost every other brunch I've ever been to has offered at least some sort of side along with the eggs benedict. What I got was 2 overly Toasted English muffins with very burnt and overcooked short rib or at least what was described as short rib with two barely poached eggs all topped with basically what was hot sauce. I could barely cut into the English muffin and I could barely chew the short rib and the Tabasco flavor of the hollandaise was so overpowering it really made no sense why they tried to call it Tabasco hollandaise they could have just not givinen me any sauce and handed me a bottle of Tabasco instead cuz that's basically what it was. There was no Artful flavor infusion about it it was just straight up hot suace which is fine you just can't really call it eggs benedict. The short rib was so disappointing I don't think there was a single piece I ate that I didn't chew my way through or immediately spit back out because it was so burnt. The eggs were not poached all the way thru. I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted my money at Tavern I was super excited to kick off my visit to Nashville with a great brunch and instead walked away still hungry and extremely disappointed. read more

Let's start off with positives, on a Saturday night around 8pm we didn't have a wait and the restaurant looked very nice an upscale sports bar basically. The service was good and the server was very attentive until the end when we wanted our check. I ordered the fish tacos. The tacos were extremely small and did not have a lot of fish or anything else. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower which was very good. We also ordered the chicken skewers which tasted average but once again a smaller portion. Somebody else at the table ordered the Tavern burger which looked really good (even though they forgot the bacon), she said it was delicious. read more

Perfect spot for a bachelorette brunch! We came on a Saturday morning and they were running a two for one special on drinks which I thought was really awesome! I highly recommend getting the nachos. They were so good. We also got the maple platter or something like that which was cool because you got to try all the sweets and some sausage. I had the biscuits and gravy for my main dish and It was delicious besides needing just a little bit more gravy. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and we would definitely come back! Oh and one more thing. Get the white trash hash. You won't regret it. read more

This place was crazy happening and busy on a Thursday night when they run a great 2 for 1 drink special. They have a really smart system I have seen a few bars use where they give you a token for your second drink so they don't just throw two drinks down at you so one gets hot. Their food looks interesting but leaning a bit on the overpriced side for what you get and I had already eaten so I never got to sample any food. I really had a great fun time hanging out at the bar and there were a lot of other folks also having a great time. The bartenders were probably some of the most professional, calm and collected I have ever seen dealing with such a large crowd. I was impressed at how quickly the bartenders were able to quickly serve me and still provide polite, friendly and professional service the entire time on such a crowded night. This place was right next to my hotel and was an awesome place to have so nearby. read more

Tavern - 2 for 1 Thursday - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Sunday brunch was lame. Dry, over cooked omelette... Dry short ribs. Yet our waitress was nice and got us a credit.

All things considered, The Tavern deserves 5/5! Atmosphere, drinks, food and service were all pleasant. Of course, there was a slight wait, to be expected for such an experience and to abide by COVID capacity limits. Started with 2 for 1 brunch drinks and maple fondue for the table to share. I also enjoyed the Nova, Eggs & Onions ( omelet / Verlasso smoked salmon / griddled onion / "white trash hash") which was hot, fresh and delicious! read more

We came here for brunch while we were in town for the weekend. The brunch menu looked solid and we made sure to arrive right at 10 am when they opened, but they must let people in a bit early because plenty of people already had seats and we had a 20 minute wait. Definitely a popular brunch spot on a Sunday! They had 2 for 1 brunch drinks, which was awesome! This allowed us each to try two different bloody mary's - both were very good. For our brunch selections, I went with a ham and brie omelet with "white trash hash" (hashbrowns with cheese!) while my fiance went with the biscuits with chorizo gravy and eggs on the side. It looked really good, but I have to be gluten free, so I passed. It wasn't an issue for me to eat gluten free here, so big bonus points for that! The service was good, but a little slow. I'm guessing because every table was packed for brunch! I'd definitely return the next time we're in Nashville. Big, filling plates, and great drink specials! read more

Best brunch in Nashville (the regular menu is awesome too). They have 2-4-1 at brunch and One day during the work week too. They always have a special of some kind and their food is very elevated Gastropub. The staff is not the nicest and most friendly, but it's an MStreet restaurant and they're notorious for having staff with those characteristics. Let's be real though, we go for the food and drinks. They offer complimentary valet, and there's street parking around midtown. Go there, grab some bites and then hit up the bars in the neighborhood. read more

We ordered the nachos, mussels, fish tacos, bazooka toast, Tuscan kale salad (with a side of tuna) and the trail mix salad (with a side of chicken). The only thing that was good were the mussels (which came with a nice big side of baguette bread with garlic butter). Everything else was mediocre (nachos that didn't come with guacamole or sour cream) or actually bad (trail mix salad). I'm sure there are better options in the area. 4 stars is way too high for this place. read more

Overall I was impressed. My friends and I went for brunch at 11... obviously I expected the wait and they were packed. 2 for 1 cocktails at the bar kept us busy though. The mimosas are blood orange- which is a little tarter that just regular OJ.. not my personal fave but oh well. I had the Benedict dos. Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. It was fantastic however my only complaint was that there were WAAAAAY too many capers on the plate. The red velvet waffle -amazing. The bacon- fantastic. The service- while our waitress was nice she was very slow and never came back to check how our food was. read more

This is a very hipster place place with a great atmosphere. However, the food is overpriced for what you get. My Jack and coke was $9.50. Ouch!! That's more than I pay at nice hotel in San Francisco. We had the turkey BLT and it came with sweet potato chips that were hard as a rock. Food is also over priced for the quality. Don't plan to go back. read more

This review is just about the rude people that work there. We didn't even get a chance to sit down and try the food. My friend and I walked in on a Thursday afternoon at 4:45 and asked for a table of two. There were three employees standing around at the hostess stand and asked if we had a reservation. We looked around the EMPTY restaurant and plenty of open tables around us and told them no. They told us they were "booked up" for the night but we could find seating at the bar. There was one open seat and we tried pulling over another chair and the entitled host and hostesses told us we could not do that and made a big ordeal of walking to the back to try to find an extra chair. (We were standing next to 5 open high tops with plenty of chairs available. I highly doubt all the reservations they had were parties of 4). None of the way this situation played out was welcoming. The restaurant was empty. No one was seated outdoors and there were about 10 tables that had people at them in the whole restaurant. The employees at the front were snobby and seemed entitled. We ended up leaving, figuring we don't want to eat at a place that made us feel this uncomfortable anyway. It was a very unwelcoming experience and we will not be going back. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite. Seemed like a cool place. Probably a great place to catch a game. I ordered the burger- MEDIUM. (something about the bottom bun being saturated with blood is not appealing) My sister got the Turkey club and we both asked for our fries to be crispy. Because who wants soggy fries. My burger was kinda just raw. I hate sending food back but I just couldn't do it They brought it Back quickly. Still raw. Oh and flimsy fries. Yuck. The burger had lots of potential. So did the fries. Turkey club was eh. I wanted it to be good. I really did. The server was good. Super nice. read more

People in town had raved about this place for brunch and told us to get there early cause there is always a line, so we were excited to see that they did a Friday brunch cause we figured it would be less crowded than the weekend. We arrived a little after they opened at 10 and had no problem walking right in and getting a table, but it did start to fill up pretty quickly. They do 2-for-1 drinks here which is a good deal and honestly one of the reasons we decided to come for brunch. The service and drinks were good, but honestly it was the food that left me underwhelmed. While the maple fondue platter looked tempting, it just didn't really seem like a good deal for what you got, so I ended up going with the ham omelette. It was just ok... honestly the amount of egg and ham was a little much for me and think that they could work on the ratio there. What I did like was the white trash hash - which seemed to be a mix of hashbrowns and cheese and onions. It was flavorful and wish I had gotten more of that and less omelette. Overall it was ok and the 2 for 1 drinks seem to make it worth it, but if I had to wait in line here I don't think it would've been worth any sort of wait. read more
