Fleet Street Pub

Went this weekend, great find, food was a real taste of home - real fish and chips! No skinny fries! We sat at a table and our server Sarah (sorry if that’s not spelled correctly) was a star. She brought curry sauce for our chips, pointed out the malt vinegar, had time to chat, we didn’t feel either rushed or abandoned, given it was a Saturday afternoon. Hubby had a pint of London Pride, it was bang on! The bread and butter pudding - well even I ate some and I don’t eat desert, delicious!! Now the price? We were staggered! Had we gone back 15 years in some time warp? We expected it to be at least 2 times what we paid, in fact we asked if they’d missed something on the check. Highly recommend a visit!

Definitely my favorite restaurant I ate at during my four day visit to Nashville. Hidden, off the beaten path in Printer's Alley - but absolutely worth the walk over from the busy Broadway area. The food was phenomenal, all made from scratch and was not what we were expecting. We were thinking bland English fish n chips and beers - and instead we got the best Shepherd's Pie I have ever had, great appetizers, especially the Blackfriars Fries. The Michelob Ultra girls were there as well, so we ended up with some cool swag and free beers. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a drink and an entree here - you will not regret it.

This place had such a cool atmosphere. The service was incredible. The food was incredible. Just an all-around great experience. I will definitely be going there for lunch again! And when I say the atmosphere is incredible that is an understatement! To be able to grab a couple of cold beers and go sit on the couch and just unwind, well It’s something you just don’t see in Very many restaurants, actually I’ve never seen that at a restaurant, so definitely a cool addition to the place but again I would highly recommend and I would also recommend the pulled chicken sandwich. I could’ve eaten 10 of those.!!!!!!! I also wanted to add that our server had made a comment just in general conversation that she was new I wanna say she said maybe her first day definitely her first week but she was incredibly nice. A wonderful waitress and made sure we had everything we needed. I wish I could remember her name, but I’m sure the manager will know who I’m talking about so I hope she gets the props she deserves such a cool place. And the prices are very reasonable!

Love it!!!! wish I could stay all day. They have excellent and authentic English pub food.

3/24 Update: Finally stopped in and got dinner here. I got the lamb burger and my partner got the fish and chips. All delicious! If you've never tried mushy peas, you need to try them! We stopped in here after a show at the Ryman Theater and got a couple of good drinks and snacks. They have a great selection of beer. A lot of European beers but also some good local choices too. We shared a few appetizers and they were delicious! The deviled eggs were awesome and full of flavor. We also tried the chips and curry sauce which was also awesome. (Forgot to take a pic though, oops) Service was good. The bartender was friendly and our food came out fairly quickly. All in all, a great chill place to hang out in Nashville! Can't wait to come back.

Stop in to catch a pre-season football,(American football) game, have some beers and grab a bite to eat. The atmosphere was great, Love the UK vibes in Nash. Service was excellent had a cool dude that took care of us. The food was tasty the wife had fish and chips, i had bangers and mash and beef stew. The only negative I have is the stew only had a cup option, I wish they had a larger option like a bowl. Overall like the place and we will return when in town. Cool little UK Pub with great beers.

About one of the best Shepherds pies I have had in awhile. Went back a half dozen times for just the shepherds pie. The bread pudding was more of a cake, very delicious 😋, more of a for two people dessert. The cherry ice cream was a bit custardy for me. Not as sweet as I usually prefer my ice cream. Good if you like less sweet ice cream. Great location but the entry in the alley is not really handicap accessible. Gotta watch your step exiting that entry.

First time coming to Fleet Street down at Printers Alley. The fish n chips is what brought me here and it did not disappoint. I also tried their espresso martini which was good.ill definitely have to come back to try out their other dishes.

Off the beaten path that provides a quieter Nashville venue. Service is always prompt and provides a wide beer and spirit selection. Always great to hang for a few hours.

If you need to get away from the madness of Broadway, Fleet Street pub is a good option. No live music and a place to have a conversation at a reasonable sound level. Can't speak to the food as we just stopped in for a quiet drink and it was a pleasant enough experience. If you're into football (real football, not throwball) you'll probably feel at home here even though they seem to think Arsenal are a worthy team to support. I guess they enjoy feeling hopeful for 3/4 of a season then hopeless for the last 12 games. Anyway, good top shelf Scotch selection for a bar in a city where Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey take top spot. Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Dalmore all available for the connoisseur - Macallan for those who don't know any better.

Two words: Lamb Burger. Very flavorful and the fries with it were excellent. A big thanks to the employee I ran into with the purple hair who recommended I stop in. Also, Bella was such a pleasant waitress. Very kind and attentive. I will certainly be coming back. Be sure to check out their lunch special! Great pub atmosphere and a solid crowd.

The fish and chips special for lunch is a great deal!!! It was really good fish and chips and our server Dale was great!

I stopped into Fleet Street while in Nashville looking for a beer and a snack. Located in the cool area of Printers Alley, the pub is underground. It's a cozy spot with friendly service with some great traditional pub food. It's got a few couches and some additional good seating for small groups as well as regular restaurant and bar seating. I'm still thinking about the curry fries

Super underrated. We had the fish lunch special and it was some of best fish we have had - put Gordon Ramsays fish place in Las Vegas to shame. Bella was one of the most friendly and helpful bartender came across and we enjoyed our quick stop in! Fish/chips and a pop for 7.50 can't beat it! We will be back in the evening to try some of the beers!!!

While visiting Nashville, we stopped by for an early dinner. I ordered deviled eggs as an appetizer and lamb burger with a side of potatoes for my meal. The food was prepared perfectly and tasted great. I also had several of their British import beers that were on tap, cold and refreshing. They have a great vibe and beautiful bar to remind you of European pubs. This is definitely a must stop in Nashville.

Not bad....mashed potatoes were cold.....but I was hungry.....decent vibe...............

Food was just ok. Service was really poor. Not sure if short staffed or just inattentive waitress because it took forever to to get food and I sat and waited and waited to pay. Finally just took it up to bar to pay as my entire party was outside and waiting for a good 10 min. All of our drinks kept being delivered to our husbands table which was next to us. My Pimm's Cup was decent. Order some chips and French onion dip for for an appetizer but didn't come out until most of our party was completely done with their meal. Did have great music!

Lovely. I've taken several trips to the UK and love the traditional foods there. Today I tried Fleet Street Pub. It had that same vibe, even to ordering at the bar for delivery to a table. I went there for the shepherd's pie, but because I can't eat red onions I ordered the bangers and mash instead. Oh, my, it was good. I'd like to go back, but the parking there is absurdly expensive. $25 for two hours, and one hour wasn't nearly enough for a liesurely lunch that cost only $19 and change, including the tip. And I'm still looking for a shepherd's pie with no red onions.

Came for a Saturday Arsenal game and sat at the bar. Amazing fish & chips and even better service.

Solid English Pub. Kind of has a British grunge theme to it. The cod fish and chips were on point and definitely worth getting especially if you're drinking a lot. Service was very good. Bathrooms are in the front.

We stumbled upon this place while in the Printers Alley music neighborhood in Nashville, TN Sun Sep 24 2023. We were exploring different music venues nearby when we spotted this place. A British style pub in Nashville? Surprised us for sure. It was authentic in atmosphere, food, drink, & recorded music. Also has satellite feed for UK & Euro league soccer which draws early morning crowds at 9:00am b/c of the 6 hour time difference . The friendly bartender Chelsey K was quite helpful and gracefully answered the usual tourist questions. A great selection of UK draft beers ($7) served in an Imperial measure glass (20 oz US). Very good Picadilly fish (cod) & chips w/ malt vinegar ($15) and my bride had the beef sliders special ($12). Many good menu choices including Arsenal breakfast: Classic full English breakfast with two eggs, bacon, banger, baked beans, charred tomato, toast, and orange marmalade - all day ($14). Fun place for a pint, meal, & a football (soccer) match. Thank you to the Chelsey & the staff. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY USA

After meandering up and down Broadway, we decided we needed a bite to eat. Hit up Printers Alley to check things out and found Fleet Street. We were intrigued, so we stopped in. It is a very dark and dungeoning feeling inside but we were kinda digging the vibe and the laid-back kind of atmosphere. I started with the Vesper martini, really yummy. Ordered the chips that came with a French onion dip. Very good. It looked like the chips might have been overcooked, but they were not. Bonus: They weren't greasy either! For dinner, we chose to split the lamb sliders. They came with scalloped potato slices and a salad. Everything was really good, except it could have used more sauce! So why the four stars and not 5!? After waiting a long time for sliders, we had to inquire; it turns out our plate was served to another table. We ended up having to wait about 20 minutes more for them. Not great communication; however, we will be back next time in Nashville. It was an awesome reprieve from the crazy crowds of Broadway and set us up nicely for the rest of the evening:)

Only British part of this "pub" was the Arsenal flag hung by the entrance. staff is too worried about eating at the bar and socializing with co workers. no actual English beers on tap. Honestly should be a self served bar. Definitely go to Alley Tap across the street or the Blues bar 50 feet away from it. cold hospitality overall

The entrance was cool, to enter one must walk down into a basement and its like you enter a portal from Nashville to England, it was very English pub themed, (very well done) after that everything was below average. Food, service etc. Its hard to suggest this place with so many decent bars nearby.

*Updated Review* I originally posted a negative review for this pub due to a horrible experience I had with one of the managers. However, I am updating my review because the owner personally reached out to me to hear about my experience, apologized profusely, and resolved the issue within a matter of hours. I went with some friends to watch the Arsenal match on a Sunday morning and the place was packed full of fans! The atmosphere was great and everyone cheered together throughout. Considering the size of the pub, they were very accommodating of the mass amount of people. The food and drinks were reasonably priced and drink service was very quick. It was incredibly busy so there were delays with food service but mostly everyone was served regardless. I believe the incident I experienced was rare given the friendliness of the other staff so I can't knock the business for the actions of one person during a very stressful rush. This is a great local spot to watch a match and meet some fellow fans, I definitely recommend and will be going back in the near future.

Very authentic fish, stew and shepherds pie. But the "chips" couldn't be further from accurate. True uk chips are short stubbies 1/2" squares the are crisp and pillowy. For some reason they are serving small wedges that are limp. Other than the chips everything was great tho.

English breakfast is amazing !!! We came 3 times. Just a fantastic fun establishment in a town of fakery. It's like being transported to London. A+

Love the authenticity of this pub, downstairs, dark(ish) good selection of brews. Our waitress was attentive but seemed to have a lot to balance. We would definitely go back and stay longer. We were rushed this trip.

Was in town for a friend but wanted to watch the Arsenal match before we went to brunch. This pub is an Anglo-files dream. So much fun on a Saturday morning drinking and watching soccer! There are plenty of tvs and seating all around. Since I'm an Arsenal fan I was particularly appreciative of the scarves, flags and dozens of likeminded fans. Arsenal whipped Leicester 4-2 and I enjoyed every bit of banter with the English man from Leicester who was also in town and was just trying to find a spot to watch his club. Great atmosphere and I would 100% come back if I'm in town again.

Being british, I always try and visit a british pub on holiday. But I have to say, we just missed the lunch specials by 15 minutes, got charged full price, which I'm sure is the same amount of food. Have to say, I'm a bit disappointed.

First stop/meal in Nashville and I was super excited, but left so disappointed. I was worried that my entire time in Nashville would be similar to this experience, but thankfully I was wrong. We got a few drinks to start off the night before we ordered food. However, once we had our drinks it was IMPOSSIBLE to get either bartenders attention unless our drinks were empty. They avoided eye contact very hard. We had asked for waters and not given them - normally I don't care too much but it was around 8pm and we had been traveling all day so I was verrrrry thirsty. I'm not picky at all, but I noticed my friend's water glass was cracked/broken, so we switched. I started getting nervous there could be some tiny shards of glass in my drink, so I let the bartender know and asked for a new water. She poured the water from the broken glass into another glass.....so if there was any glass shards in the initial glass it would still be in my drink. Whatever, I just drank it and hoped for the best. For food, I ordered the lamb burger and it was delicious. So flavorful and perfectly cook, as were the fries. Definitely a great meal. My friend ordered the shepards pie and it was a super small portion. They had informed her they were out of mashed potatoes - figured they would put extra meat or something but overall the dish just looked sad. However, it did have good flavor. Definitely much better places in the area to eat. I get that it was busy, but all other places we subsequently went that were super busy had far better service than here.

Sarah was phenomenal as a waitress! Both male bartenders were equally as wonderful. The atmosphere is perfectly English pub. We were leaving to eat but had a look at the menu & it was as fabulous!!! Not the typical bar food & all was delicious. We will come here specifically to eat. I liked the games available too darts, cards etc).

Went there on our 40th anniversary. Basically empty. Asked if we could watch the Masters Tournament. Server said that her boss said "we don't watch golf in here"

Great place to hand out ciders and beer. At least my husband and I both thought it worked well. They have some food and we decided one night to have the fries. The fries were good and would recommend them. They have darts that are free with an ID that the bartender keeps while you play. Also note it is a very dark bar and can be a time suck. Enjoy!

Three trips to Nashville, and three trips here. This is the place to chill and have a conversation between all of the insanity. Take a load off, meet some cool locals, and grab some pub grub.

We met up with part of our group here. Located downstairs in Painters Alley - it was a little hard to find at first. It was a busy Saturday afternoon and then only had ONE bartender and ONE waiter working. They were working their butts off but they just couldn't keep up. We had to wait for quite a while to order a drink at the bar. We wanted to get food but couldn't ever flag the waiter down to place an order. Overall, we were really disappointed. We wouldn't go back.

Our bartender Chelsey was absolutely amazing! Super attentive and very helpful with the menu! You can't go wrong with any of their burgers or great british beers on draft!

Night 1 in Nashville. Broadway burnout happened fast. Like I can go the rest of my life never again seeing a cover band while wading through masses of people in denim and fringe hobbling around in cowboy boots they bought a couple of hours ago, and let's not forget the woo girls ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2mW1N0gSUk ) On the walk back to the hotel to escape all that mess, we saw a sign for a basement bar - the Fleet Street Pub. Dark. Brick. Decent music playing. Iron Maiden beer on tap. Just then, lots of attendees from the Megadeth show that night come rolling in. Honey, I'm home. Would've eaten here had the drama to follow at Daddy's Dogs been foretold, but a night of fake moonshine prior to our arrival here dimmed the psychic light. Thank you, Fleet Street, for being a respite from pink cowboy hats and Rascal Flatts tribute bands.

Thoroughly enjoyed this place. Loved the curry fries, lamb sliders. Great cocktails, and the ambiance too. Just like their story says, great music in the background, songs you know, and still able to talk to each other.

We come twice. First time fish and chips. The fish was very bland. So next time I had a bacon butty. The bread was dry no butter. The chips ( French fry's) were cold and tasted like they had been cooked early today and then reheated. Still cold. Sorry gave you two chances. Won't return.

I wouldn't eat here. Look at the decor on the ceiling. It's insulation but it's covered in dust. Looks like mold. We asked and they want it to look that way! We grabbed open seats at the bar and looked at each other. It smelled like piss all around us. We each got up and checked at around the bar, no smell. Just then, other seats opened and we grabbed them, no smell. We told the bartender about the pee smell but he couldn't have cared less and did nothing. I'll send my enemies here.

Decently surprised is an understatement. I went here expecting bar food, but it wasn't your traditional bar food. The potato soup was hands down the best potato soup I've had, and I've had a lot. I also got the loaded fries (the more carbs the better (; ). I'm very picky about bacon and it was cooked perfectly. So crispy. Unsure why it came with a sauce because it has so much flavor i didn't even use the sauce. Server was kind and timely. Would love to come back here to watch a soccer game someday, as I can assume it would be a very fun environment.

Such a cool spot! A hidden gem! Here on St Patrick's day which is absolutely perfect because this is such an authentic Irish/English pub. Dimly lit, brick walls, Guinness and other Irish brews on tap, soccer on all tv's (even when it's March madness), this is the place to be if you want to escape the country music scene. Delicious beers and excellent customer service!

This place. :) I just can't say enough positive about it. We found it trying to find a place to eat near Printer's Alley. What we walked into may be one of Nashville's hidden gems. The prices are so ridiculously inexpensive, especially Nashville. They are so low, that I actually found myself wondering if our beers were going to be $15 a piece to compensate. (They weren't!) Speaking of beer! They have a nice English/Irish selection. We found some good stuff, but they also had a couple tasty IPA's that I enjoyed. A+ on beer selection. And the prices were very affordable! The ambience of this place is super chill. It reminds me of a great English pub that I love in Boston. Whether you like a good bar stool, a bench, or a pub table, you will find it here! Lots of tables that will accommodate big groups, and some cozy spaces for quaint pub chats. And the service was exceptional!!! Some of the best in Nashville. Now back to the food. It so far exceeded my expectations. We tried a cup of the Brixton Beef and Dumpling stew, the Charing Criss Chips, Piccadilly Fish & Chips, and the Fleet Street Chicken Pie. Every single bite was delicious. I have eaten at a lot of places in Nashville and this one was one of my favorites!!!

I'm biased, but I love this place. I had my first date with my now wife here...hence the bias. Fleet Street is one of the few places in town that serve absinthe with a water drip fountain and sugar cube and they have some of the more authentic British cuisine you can get in nashville. Vibes like a dive with lots of space. Only downside is that last I checked they still allow smoking...just not my jam. Aside from that, I would highly recommend this place.

My wife and I stopped in on a whim. We sat at the bar and slowly realized there was a stench of urine in the air. We thought maybe it was an accurate recreation of the London Underground odor. We moved seats and clearly the odor was localized, but after we informed the bartenders nothing was done to clean the area. They either didn't believe us or just decided urine odor was ok at this bar. It's a shame. This could be a good place, but our experience was ruined.

Absolute go-to for downtown dining. The staff are always friendly, though occasionally slow. But the food is fantastic. A full portion of fish and chips is a filling meal for two (definitely get the mushy peas. Absolutely excellent). The lunch specials are fantastic and they have a perfectly poured Guinness. Best of all, the crowd is typically laidback and they have a great playlist/jukebox

My Nashville food tour continues, this time we ended up at a hidden little bar in Painters Alley, and I will have to say out of the 10+ other establishments we visited today this was by far our favorite food wise. Everything was absolutely perfect, wings cooked to perfection, authentic stew and great homemade chips, felt bad for the bartender she seemed a little overwhelmed they could def use some help but other than that I highly recommend this place. The price is also something to take note of, two blocks down you'll be paying 20 dollars for two beers, come up here and you can get an entire meal and beer for a little over 30, def felt like the cool local spot in town.

Was visiting Nashville and passed by this pub. Its in a cellar, kinda dark, lot of different patrons, interesting vibe. Didn't eat anything but I got to tell you the Guinness on tap was superb!

We've been to this little pub several times and have had a great experience each time. Ambiance is amazing. Service is excellent. Vesper martini and fish and chips are incredible. We love this place!

A real good English pub. The wings are amazing. If you like a divey pub hit them up.

I can't speak to the service or the food, but I can say it smells like a damp basement and about 1 minute after we sat down at the bar, I noticed a cockroach crawling toward me. I've never left a place so fast.

Holy chicken pot pie! Definitely come visit this restaurant when you are in the area, and definitely order the chicken pot pie! Its so tasty and very hearty. I split the dish with a friend and while it looked small, half was very filling. They also have some great cocktails on the menu. Its very rare I find a restaurant with a Vesper on the menu so kudos to you!

Like a little underground dungeon in the heart Of Nashville, good place to find some British Style food, fish and chips, bangers and mash etc. Lots of little nooks and crannies if you want Somewhere to hide and have a quiet drink. For those who might be interested, it's also the Local for Chelsea football supporters in Nashville, so if that's your thing, you'll find them In there whenever there's a game.

Terrible food... terrible service .. do not eat here late at night .. went here after the cowboys/titans game ... just a bad experience all around.

This cute place reminded me of a speakeasy. It's quiet and noisy at the same time. The noise from nearby bars can be heard. However it's a nice respite from crowds. Great food and drinks. Great price.

Came here to meet up with some friends and it was perfect. Not so many people where we felt crowded but a good amount of people and nice music. We ordered fish and chips which were so good. The fish had a great airy and crispy batter. I ordered ranch water so I can't speak on their drinks. But they had darts and that was pretty cool. Staff was friendly!

As a regular visitor to the city since my dad is from Nashville I like coming here as a local rather than a tourist. Gets some tourists but luckily not many. Of course the pub and food aren't going to be exactly like going to England. But having been across the pond I'll say the food is comparable to any pub you may go to while in the UK. Service is really good. Fast and friendly. Great place to chill and get away from the insanity of Music Row.
