Robot-themed tiki bar with imaginative cocktails & food truck
"Don't expect the usual tiki environment at Chopper—they have a robot-themed aesthetic and a passion for fandoms (Star Wars characters make appearances in the barware). Their “lab tested” concoctions—yes, the bar has its own lore—feature their takes on classics like mai tais and rum runners, but they also have a more creative rotating seasonal menu. Our advice? If you see anything with coffee in it, order it, because they always do interesting fruity/malty combos. And if that Robo Zombie drink takes you to the moon, get your feet back on the ground with some tacos from the Maiz de La Vida food truck that's usually out front." - ann walczak, bailey freeman, adam sloan

"If you’re looking for tiki bar vibes on the East side, look no further than Chopper — a hush-hush tropical hideout brimming with futuristic robot technology. Thirsty non-robot visitors can find frozen drinks like painkillers, daiquiris, and piña coladas all on offer in fun glassware with crazy straws for sipping. The Maiz de la Vida food truck is parked permanently outside so you can sop up those frozen drinks with tacos using nixtamalized corn tortillas." - Clara Wang
"If tropical drinks and vibes with a touch of sci-fi feel tremendously on brand for the festivities, East Nashville’s robot-riddled tiki bar fits the bill. Enjoy rum and tequila cocktails served with flair while eating some of the city’s best Mexican fare from the on-site food truck, Maiz de la Vida. Then head to Broadway to dance it all off while keeping fingers crossed for that country star sighting." - Kellie Walton
