Adriana D.

10/10. I celebrated my birthday on the second floor with ~40 people. The food was so good!! (Brisket, stuffed peppers, mac and cheese, salad). It was super easy to set up the event with Iris. We were able to play our own music and project to TV with help from Jess, and our bartender was amazing :). After the three hours were over. We went upstairs for 10mins while they cleaned and came back for karaoke. It was the best time!!

Teddys tavern is a great spot right off broadway! One of the bars in the area that you can actually sit down and have a great meal. Big menu with plenty of tasty items. I had their spin on a hot chicken sandwich which was great. We tried their house margarita as well which was hand crafted by the very knowledgeable bartender. Great ambiance, live music, fun spot!

Sloppy Joe

Good spot right across from Bridgestone Arena. They have a downstairs bar and a rooftop, it definitely gets busy no matter where you are! There's a good selection of beer and cocktails. We liked the sloppy joe and the hot chicken sandwich!

Rooftop view

This place was "okay-ish" First and foremost, service was horrible. Sat on the rooftop and never got anyone to come help us after 20 min. Had to walk over and place my food and drink order at the bar to get service. Food overall was good, the chicken sandwich was pretty damn good, however I could tell it has been sitting for a min. Bun was soaked in oil and chicken was lukewarm. Would have treated better if I got it fresh I'm assuming. Nachos were garbage (fries, beans, cheese, and meat?) better of getting some chilli cheese Fritos from the ice cream truck. Positive.... Ambiance and location is awesome, and perfect place to pregame before the game.

The best burger on broadway!

This place was amazing! The bartender had a little bit of sass which we loved right off the bat. He was fun and got down to business. We told him we came in specifically because the sign said they had the best burger in Broadway. And I'm gonna have to say. I think they may have been right! The cottage fries were so good also. The guy that was playing music set the tone for a relaxing late lunch. Would recommend this place. 100/10

Cozy stage on the second floor with Christmas decorations

Teddy's is just a few steps off of Broadway, and it was much less packed. They have an awesome rooftop bar if you're in the mood to hang outdoors (it's partially heated in the winter), and they have live music on the other two floors. Their chicken sandwich was pretty good, and the drinks were fine. Prices were a little high, but they do provide a local's discount with your Nashville driver's license!

Great deal on beer!
Wendy F.

This is a fun place to chill off Broadway. The beer special is fantastic (Music City Brewery 16 oz for $2 ). The bartender was super fun to talk to. The food was not as good as we expected. They advertised "best burger" but I have had better. We also ordered a salad and wings which was just OK. The music was not as good as other places we visited in Nashville.

Burger and fries
Chriss N.

Was in the area for a concert and wanted something close and not a chain restaurant. Once we arrived we were immediately seated close to the stage. Loved the atmosphere of the old Nashville feel. We had the pretzels with the beer cheese for an appetizer, the pretzels were hot and fresh, beer cheese had great flavor with just the right amount of heat. Burgers were really good! Nothing fancy here, just good food, good service and great music. This is what makes Teddys unique! Keep up the good work, keep being you!

Title this I am dumb I've walked by Teddys multiple times Being completely barbecued out we popped in ostensibly because the pretty haired girl outside pointed at me ! LSS holy crap Great Staff Great Combo (Justine Blazer) and fantastic best ever pretzel with beer cheese . Kids that was a top 5 Burger of all time Prices especially with regards to what's happened with the corporate takeover of Broadway was truly reasonable A new fav !

Roof top
Camilla J.

I love this little place, it has such fun and friendly staff! I just tried their food for the first time and was blown away. If you need a quick good bite on Broadway this is the place to go. They usually have live music on the first floor, and the place is small enough that you get that really "local pub feeling". They have a roof top as well and it has both sun and shade, so pick your poison!

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.

There's a row of boots on the wall, which I think is for display only and a call out to the time when they actually sold boots here. This historic building itself feels like a shotgun (long and narrow) and apparently once served as a Civil War warehouse and later the Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Company. To prolong our stay, we ordered cheeseburgers and beer (fries and onion rings were extra) for brunch. I tried to interest folks in their $6 "Recession Special" - A grilled or fried bologna sandwich piled high, with a bag of potato chips, a Moon Pie, and a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) beer, but got no takers. We sat up on the balcony, which we had all to ourselves and with a nice view to the main floor below. Our waitresses were down home friendly, hard working, and good at what they were doing. We felt right at home and this was perhaps the most classic and authentic Nashville experience we had here. The band even wished my Happy Birthday. :)

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.
