Honeytree Meadery

A really unique joint that serves an inspiring selection of mead and other beverages. The mead I had was like nothing I've had before. Good people behind the counter. Good vibes and you can bring your own food (also have a food truck). Give this place your business.

Stumbled upon this place while visiting from Detroit- bartenders were so helpful and sweet, incredibly friendly and helping us choose options from the menu. Mead was clean and delicious, cocktails were so fun and well balanced. My husband and I enjoyed connecting with Navi and the atmosphere was open, bright and cute. Great find in East Nashville! Will come again!

During a browsing session, I decided to visit. Location was great. Meads were delicious. The atmosphere was energetic. The bartenders were upbeat and friendly. They completed orders and prepared drinks with a smile. I was invited to taste several meads. I enjoyed bouquet toss,

We LOVED this place! We stopped here on a Brew Hop Trolley tour. This was our favorite stop. The gentlemen were informative about how things were made, and what was in each drink. We had samples. The bathrooms were clean. And the food truck out front was DELICIOUS! Loved the Ra Ra Razz!

Absolutely loved this place. Great vibes, great service, knowledgeable staff, great mead. The cocoa java mate was my favorite but there are plenty of flavors to choose from and places to sit to enjoy them or bottles to take home.

The vibe was very cool and we loved the honey theming! Especially liked all the honeycomb shelves. The spiced blood orange mead was our favorite! Really appreciated having the board games too! Staff were very friendly!

Honeytree was a fun little stop that my son and I had while visiting Nashville. We both did flights, which was really cool because they had a lot of great choices. Our bartender was top notch, very friendly and knowledgeable. This was my son's first experience at a tasting room and he loved it. Also worth mentioning is they have some very creative unique cocktails. I don't remember which one my son had but it was phenomenal!

They have the best mead I’ve ever had and many varieties, the customer service was amazing especially Dru! I made frequent drives from Chicago just to be here. But they also offered online shipping, perfect for gifting. Highly recommended!!!

I really wish we would have spent more time in this area. The honeytree meadery had such a relaxed vibe. Outside their front door were some firepits inside they had music and anime playing. The staff were absolutely wonderful and helpful at explaining all the notes that we would taste in the mead. My sister and I both ended up getting a trio to try!

Great Meadery! Definitely worth the stop. I love the creativity in flavors. I purchased a flight (3 glasses) of basic batch, flower power, and "rei of sunshine?" Not sure what the name of the last one... it has rei in it though. The gin and tonic was nice as well; very refreshing. Loved the greenery of plants and fun games for your enjoyment. If you are not sure what to try, the bartender was helpful.

i wish i had something like this in jersey. first off, the branding is ON POINT here. props to that! the flow and theme of the honey bee and meadery follow throughout, its warm and welcoming too. very thoughtful design and creative. This isnt a place id come and kick back drinks and get wasted, for me its more about chilling and sipping. i love all the mead, but its an acquired taste for sure. that being said, i enjoyed every style i tried and can appreciate the experimentation in flavors. staff is so friendly and very helpful with many suggestions. ps there is a food truck outside.

The second I walked in to Honeytree, the cozy interior, vibey music and board game shelf told me I was going to love it! A very kind bartender, Lily (?) greeted my partner and I and gave us the rundown for our first visit. They told us about the mead and let us sample some, I don't have any experience with mead but we loved it! We each ordered a flight and settled in with a couple of board games to pass the time. If you don't love mead they also have a full bar for cocktails and other drinks! The outside patios looked very inviting as well. Apparently sometimes they have fire dancing on the back patio on Fridays, I'll have to be back to check it out!

This was my first time trying mead! It was SO good and I'm glad they had the flight option so I could try multiple. The outdoor area is great for groups as well as inside with board games and pretty plants. Everyone there, employees and other customers, were all so welcoming to me and just seemed happy to be there. There's a food truck outside if you're hungry too!

This mead is so good, I bought 6 bottles to take back on my 5 hour plane ride from Nashville to San Francisco. I don't usually drink alcohol but mead is an exception because it's sweet and doesn't burn. Since the Bay Area doesn't have traditional mead (there's only 1 Meadery 1 hour away and they use a champagne refining process which leaves the mead sparkly, but not sweet), I spent $30 on Lyft to get to Honeytree Meadery when I was in Nashville for a conference. When I arrived, I was transported to an environment that reminded me of medieval tavern, but more modern and chique. I was immediately helped by some amazing guys who explained the various flavors they carried. When I arrived, they had 3 basic meads, and 3+ flavored meads but their website offers even more variety. The 3 basic ones were made from just yeast, honey, and water with differences in citrus notes and sweetness levels. The flavored ones included a ginger one, a fruity one (Bouquet), and a floral and more earthy bottle made with ryze mushrooms and local teas. There was also a unique bottle that I had to get- it's similar to mulled one and comes with a pack of spices that you add to your mead and you cook it together and drink it hot. Overall from the quality of the mead, to the outstanding service, the passion for their craft, and the beautiful interior decorations, everything was a 10/10. -IG: @hungry.hungry.helena

This is one of my favorite bar. It is chill, ins style and can spend whole night here with friends. The special Part us they have direct beehive to collect honey Then brew The alcohol. I don't think have many bar use honey to make the alcohol. We tried signature flavor and then ordered 3*2 combination-straberry, leche and?? Flavor(forget the last one) There is Other cool one is with 9 different glasses. I also got lil batch. It is only 6% so overall super fresh feeling. Like sake. They also offer juice if u don't want to drink. The Other reason I like here is that they offer so many free boardgame. So hangout with friends, chat and play. It Will be super fun.

Homey place with some great sips and bites! Went on a date here and it made it a perfect night. We stopped at the Bad Luck Burger food truck on the way in. While we waited for our buzzer to tell us our food was ready, we went inside to select some mead to sip on. I have never had mead before this point. When we went up to the bar, the sweetest server helped us out. Even gave us some samples so we knew what we were in store for. My date selected a glass and I selected a flight. Not only was the mead great! But honeytree has a variety of board games to play with inside while you wait, sip, and munch. If you're anything like us who enjoy a bit of competition, the board games solely will make you want to come back. Suggesting this place to anyone wanting to have a good time.

What a great spot! The folks here are very knowledgeable and will help walk you through meade if you're not the most familiar. The inside is adorable.

Unassuming place with a very chill vibe. The owner is more than happy to explain Meade, their bees, the process, and their product improvements. (He's a fully-invested gregarious talker type! ) If you've never meade-d, do yourself a favor and plan to spend some time, first listening, then a little sampling, and sitting with a pour and savoring. And take a bottle with ya (we took two!).

This place was an absolute blast. They had so many options and I loved the fact they had so many games and such to play as well. We chose to do the flight with all of their mead options. The employees were super knowledgeable on the mead. It was such a great experience.

I really liked this spot! The atmosphere is great, the service is wonderful, and there is lots of space in their patio outback. Mead is almost like a cross between wine and sake. Would def recommend!

Took some out of town friends here last night. We did the 15 selection flight and it was a good amount for 3 people. Staff was really kind and turned on the fire pit since it was a cooler night. Thank you!!!

NEW OBSESSION The staff are so lovely and give newcomers a taste of mead and yes it really does taste like honey! Went outside and sat in the rainbow egg chair and watched the fire pit! Surprisingly empty on a Saturday night which made it even nicer honestly! Great vibe all around.

This was a first for me! Mead is an alcoholic beverage made with honey! It was delicious! The minute we walked in, we were greeted by a passionate employee- I hate I didn't get his name as he deserves a huge shoutout. He was gracious to give us a brief history of Mead and sample a taste before we decided. I couldn't choose just one- so I went with a flight. I am already on the hunt for a NC place that makes Mead!! Honeybee magic!

amazing service & such a fun spot!!!! indoor and outdoor seating, drinks are AMAZING (get the cocktail flight omg), and fun board games to play!! amazing ambience and vibes def a nashville must do!!!!!

The staff here know and love their stuff, and they make the experience TOTALLY worth it. We knew little about mead before coming here, but our bartender was all the more excited to tell us about their process, their meads/products, and letting us try a few samples before getting started. We had the flights and also ordered a few more pints afterwards, and it was all VERY delicious. The vibe is a little hipster (the only downside...), but even w/ that, it's still very welcoming and cozy on the inside w/ plenty of board games and places to sit. The back patio area has a campfire and plenty of picnic table seating. Taco truck on the outside is run by one guy and makes DELICIOUS tacos, tortas, etc. They go incredibly well w/ the mead and make it very easy to tuck in here for the whole night for food, drink, and conversation. A great date night location as well! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you're looking for a place to grab a drink w/ your friends tonight.

This was an awesome find on our trip. We managed to come up the weekend of one of the snow storms, and the more the 6 of us tried to find places to go, the more we found places closing up for the afternoon. We called Honeytree and Cameron said he was going to stay open so we made our way over. Man are we glad we did! Atmosphere here is awesome and Cameron is fantastic! He was more than happy to talk with us and even came over to our little seating area at one point and sat down with us. We were there for nearly 3 hours that evening and loved every minute of it. We will be back. Oh, and the mead is great too, you have to try The Beast!

Customer service was top notch, the vibe was great and most importantly the mead was AMAZING! I even bought a shirt which was also cool!

This is still my favorite place to get drinks, hang out with friends, and play board games.

Welcome to a wonderland that will transport you to a magical world right off of Woodland. You step inside and are greeted by plants, lights, and decor that was created with heart and soul. You can tell the owner of Honeytree believes in their product and wants you to have the whole experience. They are also a protector of the bees and who doesn't love that?? Okay, I know mead isn't your usual choice for a drink, but Honeytree Mead isn't your usual mead. It's light and they have a ton of options! You can drink it straight up, like wine, or you can mix it with Maypop, like a cocktail. I'm a big fan of the ginger mead, but I also love it mixed. The staff is wonderful and will talk you through all of the options. They have also partnered with Maypop and Alebrije. Tacos, mead, and Maypop for the non-drinkers, it's the trifecta! Look out for trivia night, comedy, and other happenings at the Meadery. On the off nights they have plenty of games, including mousetrap, to keep you busy. Midday trip? Perfect for the kiddos. Don't sleep on Honeytree Meadery! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

First Meadery I have ever been to and the taste of Meade exceeded my expectations. We preferred the natural leases Meades. ( The staff will patiently explain the differences to you) Really good energy, staff were humble and interesting to talk to and although we didn't try a food truck is available just outside. Speaking of outside the outside seating area was very inviting and we sat, drank Meade and played Jenga.

Definitely a gem in this city! The staff is incredibly kind and friendly - if it's your first time, they give a very informative run down of what honey mead is along with some samples. Tons of great options!!! The space is cozy - tables for jenga, lots of board games, and a great space for a lower key night out with a good group of friends!

Found this place by chance outside downtown Nashville. Beautiful place, atmosphere and people. The two bartenders were welcoming, patient and extremely knowledgeable on their mead. Their mead is not as "syrupy" as most, they use more water to help alter the taste and it's by far the best mead we have had in the US. The place is cute to boot! Honeybee prints/art all over plus honeycomb style wall shelves etc. the outdoor patio is beautiful and like a scene from a garden party, white lights, picnic tables, greenery. You can tell the owner(s) put a lot of heart and soul into this place. We tried a flight of mead and ended up taking a bottle home of their seasonal mead, which was a flower blend. We also tried their ginger, the "house" and now I can't remember the third, I didn't like it-tasted like wine. Worth a stop if you are a mead drinker or enjoy sitting outside having a nice glass of mead and a quiet-ish setting. I think they have love music throughout the week but I'm am unsure on the days, we were there on a Friday. Parking it's terrible, I think they had a small private lot to the side or there is some street parking or paid parking. Now go enjoy!

This place is a hidden gem in Nashville! I was waiting for a table at a spot across the street when my friends and I encountered Honeytree. The inside was very cute and the staff were very friendly. They explained what mead was to us and let us try a sample before we purchased anything. A friend and I shared a flight of different types of fruity mead and they were all pretty tasty. We hung out on their sofa and played board games while we waited for our dinner table. I'm definitely going back here and bringing more friends next time!

Cameron was awesome and immediately welcomed us into the establishment. I had not a clue about Meade so he was very knowledgeable about the process of making as well as drinking Meade. We enjoyed several varieties of the concoction and were pleased with the product. Great atmosphere as super friendly staff. Awesome spot to chill...

Great bar for a chill night in Nashville! Delicious and well-priced mead. I had the flight, with recommendations from the bartender, and really enjoyed the seasonal rotation option. No food served here, but they were super nice about letting us order food in. The back patio is GORGEOUS and perfect as the weather turns into fall. (There's a fire pit for those especially chilly nights.) And the best part of the whole place is the awesome game selection. I can't wait to bring more friends here!

Passionate Mead creater! Cool guy! Imaginative and tasty flavors! Friendly people here. So appreciateful this art is preserved here. The house inside is cozy and homely. **The outside back area is super-duper. Lots of seating. When it's cooler, a soothing oak fire place is set! Bring food if ya like.

This place is great. I'm not 21 yet and still had an amazing time. went in with some friends with time and no plans, ended up playing uno and board games for 2 hours. It's got a chill vibe, definitely will be back!

So no beer, strictly Mead, but hey, thats the ancient origins of beer, right? It's located in a white re-purposed home with a large open back seating area. Friendly staff. Whimsical deco in and outside. Mead is served in beautiful glasses. Get the flight.

Favorites: mulled mead (warm, spiced) and garden something (lavender rose flavors) The people who work here are very knowledgeable and helpful.

A hard U-turn was made upon passing this joint on the way to dessert. You know that's some serious mead loving. We parked in the lot labelled for them next to an amazing Y'all wall art. The open space was very cool and filled with hanging plants & macrame. Two little pallet bench nooks and a raised section with a bar table & seating. We got flights of their signature, bouquet toss (hibiscus), and ginger. The signature was definitely the group fave. Most of the mead uses wildflower honey. The whole mead making operation is right behind the tasting counter and there's a great outdoor section with picnic tables & stoves. So glad we followed our honey drawn noses to this place.

Such a cute place and friendly staff. Patio area is adorable and full of friendly bees . Stop there and enjoy a drink!!

Came across this gem in Nashville while walking around waiting for a text on a waitlist. WHAT A FIND! Mead made just right. Enough variety for every taste and pallet. We were particular impressed with the flavors they concocted. Highly recommend. And Cameron knowledgeable and super friendly. Makes you feel like you're just catching up with an old friend. If you're in Nashville, make sure you stop by.

Cannot recommend Nashville Meadery enough! The staff was top notch and super friendly, the meads were absolutely delicious (they are REAL meads too, not the syrupy sweet stuff that everyone tries to pass off as mead), the atmosphere was super cool, and overall couldn't have found a better or more chill place to hang than Honeytree! An added plus was the food truck out front that made outstanding Mexican food that paired perfectly with the meads. A must stop spot for any age when in East Nashville!

4.5 Lookitu, Nashville. Getting all fancy. A meadery? People are going to start believing the press about this city. If only we could get *some*one's attention... When it comes to places like Honeytree, I am so glad Yelp exists and yelpers are on the case. Despite it being in my neighborhood, I never would have known it exists -- and that would have been a shame. Honeytree has repurposed one of the old structures along Woodland south of 5 Points. Smart. As that stretch between 9th and 10th gets more commercialized, I think there's going to be better foot traffic in the area. That's a good thing because people tend to drive like bats out of h#ll around here and anything that slows people down is a good thing. The only time prior to my trip to Honeytree that I enjoyed mead was at The Green Dragon in the 'boro. Being of problematic belly but enjoying to drink sudsy brews, ciders and meads are my new defacto jams. I walked in to find a surprisingly busy tap room... with only one bartender. What could have been a problem, though, was expertly handled by said bartender. Not only did he engage in conversation and answer questions, he poured drinks -- all at the same time! Impressive. I'm not being sarcastic. Ask for samples. Meads aren't big (yet) in this area so ask to try different things to see where your tastes lie. You might be surprised. Also ask what's on special. There's more than just the menu at play. I sampled the blueberry pomegranate (fantastic; on special) and ordered the $10 flight of the basic, the hibiscus and the ginger. I think everyone should start with the basic. It provides for an understanding of mead and Honeytree's take on mead. It was a good drink. The hibiscus was interesting. The floral notes dominate but don't overpower the mouth. That said, it was my least favorite of all the meads I tried. This isn't to say that it was bad; I just liked others better. 'Others' like the ginger. Hands down, this was my easy favorite. I wasn't expecting it but I couldn't stop sipping it. The ginger (again) isn't overpowering but the semi-sweet mouthfeel and dry finish was very delightful. I'd order a full glass on my next visit. And there will be a next visit. Not only does the tap/tasting room boast counter service, hanging seats, group seating, and out of the way seating, there's a really delightful courtyard that needs to be seen to be best enjoyed. Plus, bees. If you enjoy eating, you need to love bees. Mead is made from honey which means Honeytree operates its own apiary... which means, you support Honeytree, you're drinking local and providing money for the folks who keep bees doing what they need to do if we want to survive as a species. No pressure. Drink up.

My husband and I had been excited to check out the meadery since we learned there was a meadery in Nashville! We showed up Saturday at 5 (which is when they open) and tried a few of their meads. The interior of the meadery is pretty nice - furniture made from pallets, bright, spacious. It's surprisingly large inside and has an outside area in the back with picnic tables (where they host popups and food trucks some evenings). I had never had mead before, so I got a flight. They had at least 8 meads available (several standards and a few seasonals). (You can also buy bottles of their meads.) They offer flights of 3 2-oz. pours. Between the two of us, we tried four different meads. Since I had never had mead before, I can't really say if their mead is better than average. I did enjoy trying the mead, even if it isn't something I can see myself drinking often (high alcohol content and maybe a taste I'll have to acquire). I did worry that mead was going to be too sweet for me - but I didn't really find most of the meads we tried too sweet. There were a couple of things about the space that I didn't love? It was definitely warm inside (no central air?). The pallet benches are a great of space, but I definitely would've been more comfortable if they had chairs and tables? They're only open Thursday through Sunday 5-11 pm. And the parking was confusing? There is only one parking spot in front of the meadery. There are a few parking spots to the right of the meadery in front of Sushi Circle, but there was a sign that said no parking for the meadery. There were a few parking spots in front of the building to the left of the meadery. There was a sign that explained which towing company was used by the lot, but it didn't say specifically that you couldn't park there for the meadery. We ended up parking there, because the business behind those spaces didn't look open and we didn't stay long, but I'd rather park in spaces that I know I won't get towed for parking in. It was really fun to try some meads. I think I'll need to try them a bit more before I really know if I'm a mead drinker. But I might wait until this summer heat wave is over!

Just moved to Nashville recently and some new friends brought us to the Meadery. I have never had mead or even heard of it! Upon walking in, i loved the plants everywhere and the happy friendly bartender. He gave us a couple things to try and recommendations before we ordered. Everything we tried was DELICIOUS! I already cannot wait to go back to the meadery. They also have nonalcoholic beverages and are family friendly!!!!

My 1st time ever visiting a meadery. Didn't think these places existed. Beautiful decor inside. Flight of 3 samples is $10. All drinks made with honey. You can smell the honey before you even drink some. The basic batch was my favorite as it was sweet and reminded me of a sweet wine. The ginger one had a strong honey smell but was less sweet. The bouquet one has a nice pink color to it and isn't sweet. Bartenders are very knowledgeable and nice. Very unique place.

This is 100 percent a hidden gem of Nashville. First off, mead is gluten free, so this is a great alternative to a brewery. Also, the mead here is fantastic! I had never had it before, but I thought it was great. The staff was so kind and gracious to help me pick out which one I wanted. Then, the space itself is great, whether you want to be inside or outside on the patio. This is a great spot!

Great place. Cool vibes. Nice people. Excellent mead! Flights are fun. Can play board games or enjoy the patio.

Had a wonderful experience here Friday night. Heard about this place from some friends and decided to try it out. Was served by a very charismatic guy named Cameron, who poured me several samples to try, as this was first experience with mead in quite some time. He took the time to explain the differences in each, and the flavors could certainly be tasted, and matched his descriptions as to what should be expected. I ended up purchasing three bottles to take home and will certainly be back for more. Delightful taste and experience. Inside the establishment was a bit darker than I would expect (could use a little more light), but was comfortable. Everyone at the bar was wearing masks and gloves, and I did see them sanitizing counters between patrons. They do follow some COVID-19 protocols.

What an incredible meadery. Super friendly staff, great variety, fantastic standards for their meads. Also the environment in the shop is amazing.

Honeytree is my go to for life!! Great alone or with friends, for a girls night or a bachelorette party (of which i just brought there) the owners are genuine and truly care about their customers. I moved to nyc a year ago and every couple months when i come back to visit nash i get a warm welcome and an update of the past couple months of the business and just lives in general. The whole place is 100% gluten free and there are so many games. I could not recommend honeytree more. Miss you guys!!

Loved this place! Drew and the whole staff provided amazing service and knowledge of meads. You can bring your own food in while you play games and drink. We ended up buying several bottles to take home with us: the Flower Garden, Bouquet Toss, and Basic Batch were our favorites. Good pricing and clean environment. 10/10 recommend!

I'd only had mead once so when we found them, I had to visit. Staff was super nice. When I said I wanted to drink from a longhorn, they got a bit loud and said I was at the right place. Glad I can order from them!

Great ambiance, friendly staff and delicious mead. If you've never had mead or just want to have a classy night out this place is perfect.

This place is INCREDIBLE! We accidentally walked into after trying another nearby place and we are SO GLAD we did! The owners are incredible, wine is fabulous. If you're in Nashville this is a HIDDEN GEM, I highly highly recommend! We played board games the entire time and enjoyed a flight of wines! I will definitely be going back! Thank you for a great experience! :)

This is one of my absolute favorite spots in Nashville. I've been popping in here & there since they opened, and I've never tried a mead that I didn't enjoy. The staff is super polite and friendly as well! Also love the inside & outside setup!
