    Dark-Circus theme! They hit the ball out of the park with the interior decor! Food was good and drinks were fun!

    Perfect gin joint to go to and do some adulting. Drinks and food were top notch. Kevin, our server, was on point keeping our glasses full and spirits high. The dark atmosphere is a reminder to stay chill and enjoy life.

    The staff is so friendly and so sweet and honestly made the experience such a joy! The Cotton Candy Cosmo is amazing! The fries is delicious and perfect to share! The vibe inside is so unique and just a fun experience. The prices were reasonable for the creativity of the drinks and food. There is free parking for 2 hours which is nice, just get the QR code from the host. Highly recommend schedules a girls night here soon!

    This was one of our first stops in Nashville and it was super cute! We loved the decorations and the booth was perfect for hanging out with friends! The drinks were great and we ordered a few snacks! We enjoyed the brie but it could have used more bread. The service was great and we had so much fun!

    Really dig the names of the drinks in the cocktail menu.

    My wife discovered Tiger Bar online -- probably via TikTok. Since we enjoy going to speakeasies, cocktail bars, and gin joints, this became the first on our list to visit during our recent stay in the Nashville area. The 1930's sideshow-inspired bar creates some wicked tasty cocktails in addition to the classics. Our visit was a joyful one where we enjoyed the drinks and the darkened, old-school-carnivalesque ambiance. Tiger Bar like many cocktail lounges and self-styled speakeasies focus on a myriad of specialized cocktails. Inspired by the 20s and 30s cocktail scene combined with the sideshow Influences, Tiger specializes in not only perfecting the classics but creating their own signature on cocktails that will tantalize the senses. Upon entering the establishment, past the receptionist desk with the portrait of a tiger going through a ring of fire and the lavender velvet curtain, you enter a carnivalesque gin joint full of escape and wonder. We took a table with olive green cushions and red velvet curtains the kept the daylight away. By the bar, there was an old love tester machine to measure your hotness. The hanging ceiling lamps helped create the darkened carnivalesque ambiance, which you wondered if Captain Spaulding was going to pop out of nowhere with a bucket of chicken and before beheading you. But I digress. For cocktails, we started off with the Lobster Boy cocktail and the Beneath the Cards cocktail. Made with Fords Gin, Grey Goose Vodka, dry vermouth, celery bitters, and lobster oil, the lobster boy cocktail was quoted in the menu as "savory, bursting with flavors like you were dining on lobster dinner." They were right about that. If you are into lobster like I am, the cocktail was gorgeous on the mouthfeel and finish. With respect to the Beneath the Cards, you can argue that this is the one drink that all your friends post pictures of if they visited here. Made with Assam tea-infused Gin, Strega herbal liqueur, Bartlett Pear, Lemon, and a Pear- Dill Foam before being topped with your own personal tarot card pull, the drink is grand without being overpowering by any sort of sweetness or booziness. I finished their Snozzberry cocktail that (guess what?) tasted like snozzberries! Additionally, we enjoyed some Bacon-wrapped dates, which tantalized our senses and gave us a sense of tremendous well being and strength; strength and tremendous well being. They offer a variety of equally decadent small plates while you sip on cocktails that pair very well overall. I applaud Tiger Bar for its excellence and carnival-like environment that allows you to live your best life and enjoy them with loved ones and friends. Or just enjoy yourself without making it weird.

    Tiger Bar is a dark, quirky, circus themed bar. But not a creepy circus. I don't do clowns so I was a little nervous coming here. There were no clowns! I loved that the bartenders are dressed in striped shirts ala strong man costumes. The drinks are strong and the service is good. They have food but we didn't order any.

    Tiger bar is incredibly unique and fantastic for either a date night or while out with friends. The prices are super reasonable for a bar of this caliber. The drinks are inventive and whimsical. We were able to walk in on a Saturday night and snag a table for three. We ordered the cotton candy cosmo. You dissolve the cotton candy into the drink to finish making the cosmo - what a cool idea! And it was delicious. The Beneath the Cards was aesthetically pleasing and yet light and refreshing to the taste. We also ordered a regular old fashioned and they did a great job using buffalo trace. I'd also recommend the popcorn trio for snacking. Service was fast and attentive and also provided recommendations for our next stop.

    Ambiance is amazing in here! Very fun 1930s circus vibes. Service was great as well. So glad we found this very weird, eclectic bar. What an experience! Would love to come back and visit sometime.

    RESERVATION NEEDED !! Super vibey spot in East Nashville. Definitely on the pricier side but it is a really unique space with super interesting craft cocktails. Service was good and drinks came out surprisingly fast.

    Do it- just go! I have been meaning to come to this bar for months! And so glad I did. The vibes are immaculate- so unique! We had a booth but I imagine sitting at the bar has to be quite the experience. The beverage menu can get a little bit overwhelming, their cocktails are true mixology well thought out flavors that come together, very cool looking as well. But if you are a little more classic they have standard cocktails and wine. Their food menu is very limited but honestly it was so delicious! We ordered the sliders and these crab filled crunch delicious things that made us full. Also our server was super helpful with recommendations and walking us through the menu. We were there for a while and she did a great job of taking care of us. The booths enable groups of 6 for larger parties but it's also a perfect date night spot. Will definitely be back!

    I've gone to Tiger Bar a few times, and have always enjoyed myself. The space has a really great theme and decorations. It is very dark in there, so if you have trouble being in places with low lighting, beware. They have a lot of really great cocktails on the menu, but a lot of it features gin. The food is pretty good too - the popcorn, the vinegar fries, and the Bavarian pretzel are must haves. The hot Cheeto mozzarella sticks and the small street pizzas are good too - especially the prosciutto and honey one. Highly recommend getting a reservation if you want a table. They also have bar seating if you're in a smaller group. I can't wait until they decorate for Halloween this year! Parking is behind the building m. They will validate parking for the first two hours at the host stand.

    Overall, a pleasant experience if you're looking for unique drinks and something off-the-beaten-path! We liked: * The staff is very friendly and accommodating. * The entire menu - everything was delicious! We had the two faced lady, the skeleton, the Bellini, the tarot card drink, the flaming hot Cheeto mozzarella sticks, the popcorn trio, and the salt and vinegar fries. * They valet parking for your first 2 hours. * The outdoor seating area is lovely. We didn't like: * Guinness is served in a regular glass. * It's pretty dark inside but I can see that being very appealing on a weekend night! * The Bellini is served with a sticky sugary mess on the side of the glass - I'd recommend asking they skip that step. It dripped down the bottom and stained our fingers and clothes.

    When I first came to this place was magical and whimsical and I would recommend it to everyone that told me they were coming to Nashville (I'm from the west). So of course I had to visit the next time I came to Nashville because I loved it so much. They do validate parking which is a perk I didn't know when. I first came because I was able to walk here from my hostel. I was so excited to show my friend this place but it fell short of expectation. Still whimsical and magnificent idea but a bit of a different menu. Probably never spinning the wheel again because I get the martini or Tom Thumb every time. (Same ingredients, one's a shot, one's a cocktail) and unfortunately you can't get another drink which sucked because I wanted to try something different. That was a disappointment but I blame myself for that one. No more pate, no more elephant eat. Wasn't really impressed by the food options but my friend was having a sweet tooth moment so she got the ice cream sandwich. It was alright but I wouldn't put it above the elephant ear that they replace. Cute packaging that match the circus theme though. I told the bartender what I liked and was so under delivered. Everyone else drinks looked amazing and mine tasted reminiscent of medicine. Wasn't impressed with my cocktails and even a random, fellow patron tried my drink wasn't about it. Then we got the bill. $11 in taxes is OUTRAGEOUS. I know it isn't your fault as a bar but my goodness that was enough to never make me want to come back here. Another person I recommended this place to, who is a cocktail expert, told me that he wasn't impressed and his drinks, though nice looking were not delectable. Hate to see a great concept fall short of expectation. The bartenders didn't make the experience as much as my first time in but I did enjoy the midnight bar wide cheers that they did and it was also a last call cheers. I hope that you guys are able to bounce back with a better selection of cocktails and food. Until then, I probably won't be recommending this once shiny hidden gem again...

You can find free parking, which is really good these days. We ordered fried, crab dip sliders, and oysters. Everything was really good!

    I'm surprised I didn't see this on the top reviews but I will share it -- MAKE A RESERVATION!…read more Okay - now that that's out of the way here is the good: 1 - If you're looking for a space in Nashville that makes incredible cocktails and where servers can help you go on a drink progression, this is your place. There are drinks that are refreshing/lighter and ones that are more spirit-centered. They also have small bites that are really excellent pairs to the drinks. 2 - It is very small. So if you feel like you'll land on a spot because someone popped in and just left, you might be out of luck. We were able to be seated because we came a little earlier, and I believe someone at the bar left earlier than anticipated. 3 - It's quite dark/moody. If you have a person who's weirded out by spaces like this, go somewhere else. If you can't read the menu in the darker/lower lit spaces, bring out your phone's flashlight. One thing that's GREAT about the menu is that they have it in contrasting colors (ie light paper and black ink) and the font is large. There was a spot that I went to recently where the lighting was very low and they used a dark tan font on manila colored paper. If the lighting was normal, it wouldn't have been a problem ... but in lower light, the lack of contrast was not helpful! 4 - The staff is really great. I know that I mentioned it before, but if you've ever been to places like The Aviary in Chicago or places like this, you'll feel that this is right in the same lane.

You step into a clean, medium fancy, and extremely well-decorated but still small bar with really casual vibes. There's a mix of bar-top and small tables/couches for seating, but because of the small size, this is ideal for a solo, a couple or a group of no more than 4. It was decorated for Christmas when i came but the normal vibe seems more European punk, and I love the purple-green lighting -- hope that's always around! I loved the ambiance in here, it's upbeat, you can tell the bartenders have regulars and are friendly to chat with, and overall feels like it's a fun spot, even just walking inside. I came solo for a nightcap after dinner and was able to walk in and grab a seat at the bar. Service was just two bartenders for the whole place (which was about 3/4 full), but they were both pretty quick in providing me a menu. The menu is pretty large - almost 4-5 pages purely of cocktails, but also a few options for wine, beer, NA and extremely light bites food (wouldn't plan on having a full meal here.) I opted for two drinks off their signature cocktails list: Dolce Inverno (pistachio liqueur, vodka) and the Smoke n' Cider (apple brandy, cinnamon, smoke). Both drinks were pretty enjoyable, particularly the Smoke n' Cider which had a nice presentation to smoke the drink and also just great flavor. I do think these seem on par with other cocktail spots in east, but maybe not my top tier craft cocktail spots overall for Nashville. Service was super friendly and I think I enjoy the vibes here even more than the actual drinks. Having a small private parking lot is a huge plus, because otherwise parking would be a bit difficult as there aren't many options for street parking near here. This would be an awesome spot to catch up with a friend or just people watch solo, and I'm certain to be back!

I recently tried the cucumber salad and am now obsessed. I hope this is not a seasonal item. The inside is a wine bar with plenty of options to choose from. Even if you aren't getting wine or one of the batched cocktails in side I still recommend walking through. The vibes are high and the interior design is gorgeous. The outside had plentiful seating. If you're lucky, you might get a seat around a real wood fireplace. If I could suggest one thing to Urban Cowboy it would be to provide blankest to those sitting outside without the fire place. I believe they do have blankets set out but I was unsure if I could take them so I just left them on the chair. I think it would be better to have an area with a sign saying "blankets for guests" or something along the lines. I always get a dirty martini at Urabn Cowboy. Its crisp yet dirty and always hits the spot. Another good option here is a aperol spritz. Theres always a line at the bar. I've talked to the bartenders and he confirmed you DO NOT have to line up in a single file line but it always happens. You can walk up like a normal bar and order!!

Located in East Nashville away from the widespread tourist traps of Broadway, the bed and breakfast is in a cooler, mostly residential neighborhood, and it has its own "public house" separate from the main house but connected by a popular yard with lots of seating. The night we went was warm, and there were plenty of people in the pub, but the loud rap music playing over the speakers didn't seem to fit the vibe of the thoughtful interior design at all to me. I should note I would feel the same if they were blasting the same country top 40 as the spots on Broad or regular top 40, and I know, to some, it's a petty thing, and the staff probably play what they want, but as far as ambiance goes, that was the only negative thing I remember feeling at the time, and because it was audio, it was inescapable. If the music had been a bit lower or had been instrumental, I think it would have been a more immersive experience. We got nice drinks in the parlor bar and enjoyed the music room, and the visual aspect was lovely. I wished I'd had more time to spend there. Perhaps there'll be a "next time."
