Commons Club

Since we were staying at this hotel for Valentine’s Day we dropped down to the bar - Commons Club - for a couple of drinks. Despite being booked into the hotel - and paying $47 for two drinks (pre-tip) we were told we had to take our drinks outside the bar and into the lobby unless we had bar reservations. What? What kind of hotel charges $370 for a room (that’s a $263 room rate + $107 in fees and taxes) and doesn’t reserve a set of seats for their guests in the bar? Why not make some room for your guests, if even just a few seats? This was an expensive disappointment and shortsighted on the part of the Commons Club.

We were staying here and with our stay we were given money for breakfast at Commons Club. The setting is pretty cool, the food was just OK. Wife had chicken and waffles and the chicken was more fried than chicken and the waffle really seemed like it was just frozen and then toasted. I got the drop biscuits and gravy and the chorizo burrito. The burrito was great, loved it. The biscuits and gravy were not so much. They were not "drop biscuits", they were clearly from a muffin pan...and they looked over baked. I would be willing to go back though - give it a try!

This Club is located in the Virgin Hotel over on Music Row. These hotels are always so cute. We wanted to have a cocktail first, so we took the elevator to the 14th floor to Rudy’s Reindeer Rooftop bar. It’s a pop up during Christmas. Beautiful ambiance on a warm winter night, with lots of holiday cocktails and music. For dinner we went to the Common Club, which is a fairly small area, but still casual and festive. A DJ came later on to keep us entertained. As a Vegan, I had the grain bowl, which was nice and filled me up. My husband had a flatbread that looked delicious! Service was excellent, decorated with pink Christmas trees and lots of hidden corners and nooks, a pool table, board games if you wish, and valet parking. We enjoyed our evening!

Trendy Vibe and Delicious Food. 4 out of 5 stars because the waitress accepted an additional $50 cash tip after an automatic 20% gratuity was added to the bill which was on one check plus 14.5% tax. A couple of the guests at our table were unaware that the waitress had already received $149 for 45 minutes of work at best. I don't agree with this, 34.5% additional for a meal is excessive. The waitress should have said I already received my tip. We were only there for 2 hours. I don't even make $100 an hour and after the food was brought out we didn't bother her at all until we asked for to go plates. Fortunately everything else went well with our meal and drinks.

As the weather warms up, the downstairs outside bar is a great place to hang out and is generally shady. The service was great with friendly bartenders and there was live music for everyone to enjoy. I went for just drinks but i would definitely go back for brunch.

No respect from bartender (Dillard) if not mistaken 7/19/25. As I sat at bar waiting on service he stood talking to a friend that only stop by to chat with him. He gave me eye contact and continued to talk. When he finish he just walk by me and went to other end of bar standing. So I got up asked him can I get a menu and some service. He told me that was his friend and I told him I was a customer waiting on service. So after I got a beer he never came to ask me for my food order. He continued to walk by without asking did I need anything so I never got a chance to order food. So I ask for my check and left. Have no plans of returning back to Commons. Bartender suck 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 have NO courtesy ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The Christmas decorations were amazing with many photo opportunities!

Made a Saturday brunch reservation (although it wasn't necessary). Nice decor. Decent band.

I'm a fan! Great food and service. Excellent menu. We enjoyed drinks and live music here upon check-in and breakfast two mornings. Breakfast is excellent. They have a very good menu and prices are super fair. We had the side fruit for $4 which is a giant serving. Juice is also $4 in a tall glass. Sides are all $4-6 and great sized for sharing. Try the breakfast potatoes. Soooo crispy and good. Served chopped in little squares. The fruit parfait is good but small in size and had too much granola to yogurt ratio but was topped with some berries and a berry coulis. The egg white frittata was excellent. Light, fresh and served with a lightly dressed salad and fresh toast. Hubs tried the breakfast burrito - heavy but delicious and the breakfast sandwich and enjoyed both. We had dinner and drinks one night and had a delicious sausage honey flatbread and a pork chop and grain bowl. All great. Friendly staff who will go out of their way to take care of you, good ambiance and the food was great! Nice location as well in this hip hotel easily walkable to the Gulch and Music Row.

This review is for dinner on Thursday night and breakfast on Saturday morning last weekend, as we were staying at the Virgin Hotel. The ambiance is retro chic and elegant. Dark and moody, it's the perfect way to start our little vacation. Thursday night, our server was Chase, very personable and welcoming! On Saturday morning, Cody was our server, equally as good and accommodating! The lemon pepper wings are a MUST try. Some of the best wings we have had! Hot, crunchy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection! We shared the short rib dinner with sides of asparagus and creamed spinach. While the whole meal was super tasty, the creamed spinach was a bit bland. Breakfast on Saturday consisted of home fries, a fruit bowl, eggs benedict, and an egg sandwich. All were delicious and cooked properly. The poached eggs, as was the muffin, were a bit on the chill side. But that didn't stop me from devouring it! The lightly dressed greens were perfect for sopping up any runny egg and sauce left over! After a couple of mimosas, Cody graciously switched my order to the bottomless mimosa as it would save me money; I was very thankful for that! We cannot wait to come back!

I'm not understanding the low score. The customer service was on point. Even though they didn't have enough staff. They were still friendly and very helpful. The food was good! Maybe it was because I had the Mother's Day brunch. I don't know!?! But either way, that food was good! I did not try the biscuits and gravy because I haven't been working out as much lately. But that prime rib and those Belgium crispy waffles with the strawberry and whipped cream to top it.. y'all showed out! They actually had bagels with the stuff to make lox! I didn't get to eat mine because my grandson boguarded it! And they had macaroons! I really wanted to be greedy and get more. But I knew I had to wash my intake on food consumption that day. I must I must I must come back! Epic mentioned you can eat outside with your dog! And it's just so comfy and beautiful and surrounded by plants! So the ambiance is perfect for nature lovers! So I just don't know how this place got such low ratings. And again, I will say I was there for the Mother's Day brunch. But my daughter even said the biscuits and gravy was the bomb. She said the bacon was crispy. The biscuits alone we're just perfect! She had three slices of prime rib. Mind you, one slice was enough to make a sandwich! So I don't know.. but I will be back! And between the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the food and the ambiance, hell yeah, they get five stars!

We wound up at this hotel for a late dinner. We sat on the patio, which was lovely and warm and illuminated by string lights. The indoor area was very chic, the bathrooms especially. The staff was very hospitable. We ordered some light fare. Our table split a blackened brie. I ordered the parmesan truffle fries. The server forgot to put them in so my dish came out a bit later than my companions'. I was totally fine with that, but they were SO apologetic and took it off the bill without any of us asking. Truly top notch service. My fries were HUGE by the way, and very tasty- perfectly crispy. Price was on the higher end, but the quality definitely merited it.

I've been to the Virgin Hotel plenty of times but I've never eaten dinner at the Commons Club downstairs. The weather was perfect to eat outside the view was great. I realized we were sitting next to their garden in the front of the hotel. Not only was it pretty, but they use what they grow to cook in the dishes on the menu. I had a pineapple gin martini and I loved it. The menu was small. But I love scallops and it was really good and I liked the corn salad that came along with it. The jalapeños made it even better. The duck with bok choy was disappointing, it was bland and dry. The portion was pretty small and still didn't finish it. After dinner we went upstairs to the Pool Club which had wonderful views of the city and great drinks. I'll definitely be back, but not if I'm trying to really eat.

This bar has a great vibe! Other than that food is average and service is very hit or miss. Drinks I would say are always spot on. This is a go to of mine for an easy drink to start off the night!

great specialty burgers and fries. Fun place for drinks. Will definitely be back when in town.

Great food and super fun ambiance. Chase took great care of the quality of service. Would eat here again.

Great staff, great cocktails, good food selections from bar bites to more heartier options. 10/10 recommend

Came here for a drink so I can't comment on the food! They had a nice cocktail list, an awesome space! I loved the vaulted ceilings with Edison light bulb chandelier! Very, very classy! Service was a smidgen slow but other than that couldn't ask for a better experience! Monday nights they host an event called Lucky Money Writers Round. The guys performing the night we were there were sublime!

Food was great. Service not so much! I had the salmon and it was good. Our server was very slow, forgot some of Our order.

Commons Club is a place I look forward to going a few nights out of the week as I live in the neighborhood. This place never disappoints!! Not only are the cocktails and ambiance always amazing but the hospitality from the staff here is UNMATCHED. I feel like I'm home away from home when I come in. I feel comfortable coming by myself-- I am always greeted with a smile and by name. Garland, Megan, Dylan, Lando and the rest of the staff-- They really go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and happy. The live music is always a great addition-- especially on the weekends! Love having this spot so close! Thank you all for everything that you do! Any bar can have drinks and music but the staff is what makes this place so special!

Disappointed! I made reservations for outdoor seating for dinner while they had live music. They accepted and confirmed my reservation. I showed up on time to be told it was open seating outside. I said I made a reservation she said I can seat you inside. The menu is very limited and I would not have chosen this location to not be able to enjoy the live music.

As the weather warms up, the downstairs outside bar is a great place to hang out and is generally shady. The service was great with friendly bartenders and there was live music for everyone to enjoy. I went for just drinks but i would definitely go back for brunch.

I sat at the bar for dinner and a drink. Lando was friendly and charming from the second I sat down! The best bartender I could have asked for. I ordered a sparkling punch to drink. It was refreshing and tasted delicious. I also ordered Southern Chicken for dinner and Banana pudding to go for dessert. Both were fantastic. The southern chicken was surprising, it wasn't hot (spicy) but it was a breaded chicken breast over mashed potatoes topped with a creamy gravy. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 was because it was a bit expensive. The food and service was wonderful. But it was over $65 for one drink, one entree, and one dessert.

Food was pretty good, glad they honored the OpenTable pricing for the bottomless mimosas, instead of their actual menu. The ambiance was cool. Our waitress, Tennessee, was the absolute best part of the experience.

Food is average, at best. It's fine but not worth the price. Service is horrendously slow and very un responsive.

I love trying new things with my family and I chose this place to celebrate my cousin's birthday. I initially wanted to try the rooftop, but the appearance wasn't good....at all. The Commons Club food took forever to come out, and it was cold when we got it. The editable food, wasn't as seasoned as I would expect for the price. The manager was apologetic and tried to make the best of a bad situation; however, i still think the aesthetics of the place were better than the food.

I frequent this spot as it's close to my office. The staff are great and make you feel like it's your "cheers", the food is above average for the midtown area, and the atmosphere is hard to beat on a nice summer night. Make sure to try the "Mason Espresso Martini" in a rocks glass

Had a wonderful experience with Cody. He recommended the garden cocktail of the week. The bartender that day, Dylan, had designed it. It absolutely blew me away. I also recommend coming for the happy hour oysters or the incredible carne flatbread!

Beautiful bar located on the first level of the Virgin Hotel. Bartenders were friendly and mixed great drinks. We had a great experience when we stopped in for drinks one afternoon on the way up to our room; So much so that we were looking forward to grabbing some more drinks before dinner later that night. Fast forward to night time, they suddenly had the bar/lounge area roped off by a hostess and we were told you could not get in without a reservation. No one told us we needed any reservations at any point during our stay... meanwhile, people off the street were strolling in and getting in with no issues (assuming they had reservations). Just a little irritating that as guests of the hotel, we could hardly enjoy the bar at night.

Mediocre Club If you're staying at this hotel, and you don't want to leave the building, then this is an OK option for you. I would still suggest checking out room service and Uber Eats and Door Dash first but if it's this or a pack of peanut butter crackers from the hotel grab n' go, then....maybe. This was not the romantic evening out I'd planned for a Valentine's date night. It was Saturday, February 12, so I knew I needed to make a reservation somewhere well in advance and I needed to avoid common V-day trappings such as parking fees and prix fixe menus. I thought I'd done my homework. The restaurant and bar are in the lobby of the Virgin Hotel on Music Row in Nashville. The website promised valet parking and $8 "towards" the valet (that is code for "the valet will cost more than that but we'll throw you an $8 bone.) We pulled up. There are multiple exterior doors. One is obviously the main entrance to the hotel. One actually had a sign above it that said "Common Club" AND there was a sidewalk sign for the valet at this door so we pulled up there and waited a second for someone. No valet in sight. So we waited another minute or two and just as I was beginning to get out and go look for someone, a guy walked up and asked if we were looking for the valet. Then we walked to the door labeled "Common Club" but it was locked. We walked down to the next door. Also locked. Finally, we walked all the way down to the main hotel entrance and realized we needed to come in that one. You walk through the hotel lobby and then we arrived at the restaurant. A scantily-clad hostess greeted us with "do you have a reservation?" to which we replied "yes." She promptly led us to our table. The restaurant is fairly small -- a smallish bar area and then a dining area with maybe 15 tables with a mix of 2- and 4-tops, larger tables, a 5-person chef's table in the kitchen and the seating is a mixture of couches, velvet occasional chairs and hard, plastic dining chairs. We were seated at a 2-top. Although I didn't want a fixed price, special menu for our night, I was pleased to hear that there would be a few additional surprises to the standard menu when I made the reservation. Upon being seated, we saw a QR code on the table that we were supposed to use to access the menu. I'll inject here that I am over the "abundance of caution" tactics that the pandemic introduced and it's time to get back to living and that means real menus. I'm OK if you just print out a simple piece of paper each day that is tossed and reprinted but I do not want to look at the menu on my phone. And I definitely do not want to have to log onto the hotel's wifi in order to access the menu. It's cumbersome and unwieldy. Though at 50-60% capacity while we were there, the restaurant was never full. That doesn't explain why I felt the slightest bit rushed by our server. She asked if we wanted an appetizer and we declined. Of the six options, nothing really jumped off the page. I ordered a wedge salad ($14) and it was just OK. I will say the portion was large enough that I wound up sharing it with my husband. The highlight and second-most weird thing that happened during the meal was a magician stopped by our table and performed a couple of tricks. He was hired by the restaurant to roam from table to table, I guess, and he made a stop at our table. It was bizarre but also a welcome diversion from an otherwise sterile and cold experience. Our entrees were delivered. My husband got Lobster Spaghetti ($26) and I ordered the Herbed Gnocchi Pomodoro ($24). They were just OK. Portions were semi-fancy restaurant sizes (visible to the naked eye but not overly generous). He said his was OK. Mine was tolerable. The gnocchi was actually pretty good. The tomato sauce tasted like Chef Boyardee. If they actually made that back in the kitchen and didn't dump it from a can, then my apologies to the chef but it tasted overly sweet and highly processed. As soon as we took our last bite, the server was back, not to refill our drinks but to ask if we needed anything else. She didn't offer dessert, I'm not sure they had dessert, but it was OK as we just wanted to cut our losses. The weirdest thing that happened to us was the valet brought us the wrong car and then seemed a little confused and befuddled when we declined taking that one home. Then we stood there...for a good while....like 5-10 minutes...waiting on our actual car to be brought around. It was a fitting end to a weird evening. Bottom line: Sir Richard Branson needs to pay a visit. I bet there was better in-flight service on his trip to space. C-

The vibe is amazing loved the music! $8 valet . The food was ehhh very small portions for the price . I liked the appetizers more than the entrees it seemed like everything everyone ordered came with a puree of some sort of mush underneath the entree. I liked the oysters the banana pudding was basic i didnt like it . Overall i would return for drinks and appetizers and a vibe maybe ill get the steak next time. & ill be sure to take pictures

Delicious! We live in Nashville, but enjoyed a "staycation" at the Virgin Hotel. We went downstairs for brunch at the Commons Club and it was delicious. Small brunch menu, but delicious nonetheless. I enjoyed the Crab Egg Benedict and my husband had the Chicken Biscuit. Highly recommend!

Fantastic brunch options, top-notch service, and good vibes await you at the Commons Club at Virgin Hotel Nashville!

Don't waste your money on brunch, you will be disappointed. The menu seems like it's slightly elevated, but don't be fooled. One of the dishes was the quality of a grab and go airport stand and the other dishes I could EASILY do better myself at home. I know the service industry is struggling right now but it felt as though we came on their first day open or something. Table was not wiped down before we were seated, waited about 10 minutes for menu's, server (although very nice and apologetic) wasn't familiar with the menu. The meal was discounted 25%, but it really should have been comped.
