    Ecto Cooler
    Markus D L.

    Typically anywhere from 4 to around 6 or 7 is happy hour around the country, so why is this place so unhappy during "happy hour?" I couldn't tell if "Misery" the clear head person in charge/bartender was racist or just really unhappy with her job. I am the last person to pull the race card so I'll just assume she was miserable, but my experience still made me wonder. Since we were staying at the hotel below, My friend begged me to go with him, since he never sat and enjoyed drinks/food on a rooftop bar. I went and regret wasting my time. Walked in and sat at the bar. And that's all we did was sit. So I suggested moving to the other side. We walked all around the bar and sat on the opposite side and continued to just sit. Not a greeting, a hello, a smile, or any acknowledgement whatsoever. Another female employee came in, saw us just sitting there and handed us menus. The miserable bartender literally snatched the menus back and scolded the young lady saying they were the wrong menus. I felt so bad for her. She said those were what she was told to give. (I later asked if she was new/training and she said yes) "Misery" then looked at the menu, realized they were the correct ones, placed them back in front of us and says "HaHa, just kidding" Now, she asks us what would we like to drink, while we haven't even had a chance to look at the food/drink menu. We ordered drinks. The Ecto Cooler and The Whiskey Thief Punch. They came in capri-sun like pouches rather than a glass and I thought that was pretty cool! While making or drinks, two non ethnic people walked in and "Misery" goes "Hello, you guys can have a seat anywhere and someone will come over to you!" I'm like we can sit anywhere? Why didn't we get greeted like that? Heck we didn't even get acknowledged after sitting at the 2nd location.... So then we go to order food. The menu consisted of nine items printed, and some handwritten items on the bottom. We want one of the Flatbread. "Misery" says we're out of Flatbread. That's 3 of the 9 items on the printed menu. My friend seeing how annoyed I was ordered fried pickles, "Misery" says they are out of that too. On a Friday???? You're missing almost half the menu, not counting the handwritten nondescript items? I questioned if they were really out or if she just wanted us to leave. We did move to the outside part of the rooftop right before the food came out. The young lady who was responsible for the outside portion was warm and provided excellent service. My friend trying to save the evening ordered the black truffle fries. When they came out, there was clearly no, black truffle oil or "fresh cilantro" on the fries. Couldn't tell if the "fresh garlic" was present as I was over the whole situation at this time. Item not as described. I had to leave . There are plenty of rooftops in downtown Nashville, but I would have loved to enjoy this one since it was where we were staying. The look was there but It was definitely not in line with the Marriott brand. There were so many other things wrong with the situation but this review is long enough. "Misery" because I don't know her real name made this an impossible place to enjoy. I feel bad for the people working under and with her. And I feel bad for anyone experiencing this place as their first welcome to Nashville.... Up has the potential to be nice, but until they get some new employees I would never recommend it...

    Really? Can't be bothered with a wine glass?!!

    Not good, and not trying. Ordered 2 glasses of wine, the same, yet they couldn't be bothered to give us a wine glass. Seemed off, so we didn't order appetizers. The next table got a flatbread and told us, meh. Got our bill, and they overcharged us. Not worth the hassle. So we paid, tipped and left. The 'view' is an apartment building under construction.

    I had a blast at UP rooftop lounge which is located in the Gulch on top of the Fairfield Marriott away from the ruckus with stunning views of Nashville. The hospitality was amazing!! The F&B director Roy really wowed us with exceptional service. We will definitely be back our next time in Nashville. I love the lounge vibe with music and the fire going and relaxing without huge crowds. The drinks were great and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the truffle fries and their crisps! I tried the Nashville hot chicken for the first time bc when In Nashville LOL and it was HOT!

    Hot chicken!

    Really pretty trendy spot for great aerial views of downtown Nashville and surrounding areas. Coming from NYC, these prices for their drinks seemed reasonable to me lol Loved their hot chicken too! Service was really friendly and the views could not be beat! A little out of the ways from the tourist hub of Nashville but still worth the uber trip over! Looking guard to our next visit!

    Fried pickles!
    Olivia C.

    FOOD: Super good! The charcuterie board was deliciously paired! (Could come with more pita chips for dipping) The fried pickles also super good! STAFF: Super friendly and attentive! DRINKS: Really good, really boozy Pricing made sense in terms of context (upscale place and located in the city). COVID SAFETY: The lounge is outdoors and it is a really modern looking set up with fun chairs, neon lights and gas fire pit tables! Since it was outside that made us feel better about attending. Employees were all properly wearing masks (covering their nose) and hand sanitizer was available at both the hotel entrance (where you come inside) and at the restaurant hostess stand. OVERALL - Had a fun night! Have never been to a rooftop bar before and this was a great introduction! The view is beautiful and we got lucky to see the sunset from up there! It was SUPER neat that they had heater lamps so that it didn't get too cold up there at night! Would definitely go again if I am ever in Nashville again!

    UP, a rooftop lounge is located at the top of the Fairfield Inn in the Gulch. The Nashville city skyline is on display and makes for a breathtaking view. On a warm night this venue is ideal for either a date night or with a couple friends to come to mingle and to sip on a signature cocktail ($13) or wine ($7-12). Don't let it deter you that it is a hotel bar as it is a cool scene and not just for people visiting the hotel. As you enter the hotel use the furthest elevator away from the entrance and it will take you straight to the 8th floor. There are several tables (my only beef with this place is that the chairs are not comfortable) situated for prime sunset viewing. Service has been excellent each time I've been, and the most recent time our server kept bringing us napkins and refilling my water. I've been here a couple different times both on a weeknight and a weekend and it's been equally as packed. I have ordered the Bee's Knees which is a delightful and light drink (gin, lemon, sage, ginger and a honey syrup). I've also gotten a Moscow mule (vodka, ginger beer, lime) which was slightly sweet and not too tart. I have not tried the food but they do have small plates like fries with dipping sauce and tacos. Street parking is available on 9th street and there is also a pay lot off of this same street. It's a brief walk across the street to the lobby of the Fairfield Inn. This place is worth going to for a great drink with a view.

    Cheese and meat plate. Divine!

    We brought a group of 4 people to check out the new space and had a very nice experience. The biggest downside was an overly miked singer whose volume was too loud for such a small space. There weren't any actual dining tables but more of a lounge atmosphere and we were able to snag a small table with 4 easy chairs. We ordered some cocktails; I had a gin concoction and my BF had a bourbon sour. They were both very good and they had a nice wine list too with a variety of wine options at different prices. Let's just say that we ordered a lot of food. Some of the plates were pretty large and others were smaller but all of them were interesting. Some of the table favorites were the cheese and meat plate, the pork belly, vegetable dish, and I loved the mussels. It was all very good, and had a French meets Southern flair. The head chef came around to ask how we were liking everything and that was a nice touch to the experience. The real gem of this place is the outdoor patio with fantastic views of the Nashville skyline. I cannot wait to come back and check out the food and drinks while enjoying a lovely Nashville day!

    Great city skyline  view from bar. You can be outdoors or indoors
    Binio L.

    Inexpensive very cool looking place. The outdoor area is amazing and the drinks and food are great too. The bartenders are as friendly and they come and knowledgeable on drinks and very creative too. I had a great time. I'll be back any chance I get.

    3.5 its a pretty nice spot. The service was mediocre. We just went to the bar to grab some drinks. There is also an outdoor seating area for the roof if you'd like to sit and eat. It is inside Fairfield if I can recall. You just walk in and take the elevators to up. The button will literally say "up" on it.

    I was blown away by this bar! The ambiance is stunning and the views of the city are phenomenal!! The chef came out to personally thank us for our service and after speaking to him for a few minutes... he told us about his secret menu! He whipped up these bad ass wings. Keep in mind, I am NOT a wing gal. They were filled with flavor and spice!!!We also ordered the cheese plate, $180 of drinks, and a few appetizers! The service was impeccable and the bartender whipped up some off menu drinks that we asked for. We told him what we liked and he delivered!

    I don't remember the name but it was Belle Meade whiskey, wine float and rosemary.
    Liz I.

    Great views from this lounge and lots of seating - indoor and outdoor. Found some seats outside under the heater and it was perfect. Somewhat disappointed by the pricing of some beverages - $13 for a cocktail. Also a few menu items were unavailable. Overall, would return but wouldn't be my first choice for drinks. But the views are amazing.

    Ask the Community - Up Rooftop Table and Tavern

    Are there heaters?

    Yes! I went for brunch last weekend when it was dreary and cold. The heaters made it warm enough to sit outside.

    Is this place appropriate for a young teenage boy that will be with his parents?

    Thanks for the inquiry! For safety we do not allow minors on the patio at any time, but minors are allowed with an accompanying parent inside the lounge from 4pm to 10pm. Thank you again for you message!
