Buddy’s Tiny Tonk - Review - Downtown - Nashville - The Infatuation

"This tiny new bar in The Arcade is a slice of old-school Americana, and it reminds us of what Downtown Nashville was like before it became a theme park parody of itself. Afternoons and evenings should be whiled away here listening to steel guitars on the stereo and knocking back beers and bourbon. There are actual peanuts at the bottom of the Jack and Cokes, six packs of High Life ponies, and tiny bottled Negronis you can drink at the bar or take with you for later. Whatever you’re drinking, order a “Slutty Joe” to go with it. The extra saucy beef mixture, topped with melted cheddar and a tomatillo salsa, is messier than a celebrity divorce without a prenup and tastes like a frito pie minus the crunch." - Ann Walczak
