Inglewood Lounge

The first time I went there a few months back, I had a great experience. The bartender was very friendly and wanted us to try something new they were working on and we liked the cocktails we got. This time however, the music was too loud, the shot of the day, was so sour, felt like I’m Squeezing lemon into my mouth. The drink was mediocre. I had to stand in a line at the bar, and when I found a table to sit, they were not clean. No one was cleaning the tables all night and patrons were just sliding the glassware in the corner as they come and go. I do like that they have parking and you can always find parking there. The lighting and indoor decor is pretty chic and great for pictures. Outdoor patio is available as well. I was just disappointed with the cocktails we got and not sure I’ll visit again.

Joe was our bartender, and he was hilarious and friendly. He went out of his way with every single person to make them laugh and have a genuine conversation. While my best friend and I were waiting for the performing artist, Rachel Bochner, to begin, my friend was getting tired, so Joe made her an amazing coffee/espresso/chocolate orange drink. It was so delicious! He is so nice and incredibly talented.

y’all…we love this bar and have been coming for years. i had a weird experience with another random guest tonight. Joe & Gaines made sure i felt safe the rest of the night and even went the lengths of sitting next to me outside until the other party left. INGLEWOOD LOUNGE FOREVER <3

Love this place!! I first heard about it when I watched an episode of shine on on Netflix where Reese Witherspoon and kacey musgraves came here for a cocktail and I made sure to stop here while in Nashville. The decoration and style of the bar is unique and so cute and welcoming. The staff are super friendly and the cocktails were fantastic. I tried the hot pink margarita, the painkiller and jungle bird and everything was so delicious. I had a great afternoon here and would suggest this place for a nice drink that’s away from the downtown party crowd.

Love this place! It’s such a hidden gem. The decor is chill and eclectic. The fries are yummy. The chicken sandwich is a favorite of my babe he always get it.

Sunday Jazz Jams are an improv jam in East Nashville that run from 9pm to 1am. If you’re wanting to play arrive early (9pm) to sign up. No Ego. Just good vibes and chops. No cover. What’s not to love?

Such a cool place! We went for the Sunday jazz jam and loved seeing all the talented musicians who jumped in to play. We'll definitely go back next time we're in town.

First time here. I'm in love with the vibes on a week night. So chill and great late night option for "actual food" 😁

Came here with a friend on a Friday night, and enter the bar before the sun went down so we were able to get a nice sitting area. Loved the music this bar played as it was throwback tunes. The vibe reminds me of 1970s decor. There isn't a server that comes to your table to take your order, so you do have to walk up to the bartender to place an order, which didn't bother me. My friend ordered the chicken sandwich and fries, and I got the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The fries are incredibly delicious, with perfect seasoning, and the right amount of crisp. The grilled cheese was so delicious, as it's made on sourdough bread with a hint of sea salt on top. The tomato soup to dip it in was icing on the cake. The eclectic crowd and ambience is really welcoming. There's free parking outside around the building, and they have an all-inclusive sign by their entrance.

This is the perfect place to catch up and get a good drink. I tried both their espresso martini and pink margarita, and both were delicious! I also got their burger and fries. I think the burger was pretty good, but the fries were definitely overpriced. The interior of the place is beautiful with lots of fun design details, and the atmosphere is quite relaxing. The service was great! We ordered our food and drinks and they came out quickly.

I love how chill and laid back the vibe was, as well as the drinks, they were pretty good! We got food as well and it was also really good! Perfect place to chill and relax!

Great vibes here! I came in for a couple of cocktails and some food and was not disappointed. Love the environment, very loungey with great music and ambient lighting. The food was also delish-- totally recommend the Brussels sprouts. You have to order at the bar and then they bring the food and drinks to you, they don't have table service. Overall, I really liked this place and will definitely be back.

Personally not my type of place, it's got a unique atmosphere I'll give it that. The drinks were ok, they have the creativity with it, and room to improve them. The burgers were ok, the fries were absolutely delicious and truly the highlight. Limited seating inside but a very large patio area and their own parking lot it is limited but better than paying to park and paying to eat. There's a few board games inside and if you get one with all the pieces; will you let me know it took us 20 minutes to find one with another that we could play

First time going. It's real cute and quaint. We ordered the little Smokey, hot pink margarita and the rye back atcha(not sure if that's what it was called), old fashioned and a cheeseburger. The drinks were SO good. The cheeseburger was soooo good. My favorite drink was the little smokey the mezcal in it just really makes the drink. The bartenders were super cool. We will definitely return.

A cute place for date night as they play music, have delicous drinks, some bar food, and even some board games. I came here on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the classified painkiller, and it was so delicious but strong.

I walked in and immediately felt like I walked into my future disco/pornstache/party bar. The bartenders were total angels. The margarita did some damage. Everyone was super kind and I LOVED the vibe. Tons of parking around the bar, it's right next to sonic if you get a cheddar pepper craving...AND it is super aesthetic. Be careful leaving at night though--Gallitan is nuts to drive on.

The drinks were very strong! The server was very friendly, cheerful,and polite! The music/vibe was very chill! The decor was amazingly different/elegant! I thought the disco ball was terrific!

Good chess, good lights, close chairs, lost my credit card Chicken is nice and so is the burger

Lovely quaint place close to Downtown with friendly servers. The selection of drinks is limited but decent as is the case with the food. The menu offers something for everyone. The ambience is very chill and unique in its way.

Snarky service, mushroom wallpaper, and 70s decor in an old Ms. Winners, what more could you want in an East Nashville bar? I can't wait to go back. I ordered off the menu and the drinks were alright (apps were tasty), but our friends ordered a bartender's choice drink (not on the menu but they just asked) and all of their drinks were wonderful. I will definitely be ordering some this way when I go back. One other thing I loved was that they use all different types of glasses for their cocktails. Fun! Update from July 2019: I love this place for the same reasons above but they have also recently added more good eats to their menu. The Brussels and the plantain chips are so good, not to mention their tacos and chicken that are menu staple. I love going here for a chill night and a good drink.

If it's your first time ask for Myk she made our experience so great that I had to write a review. The service was A1 and the vibes were immaculat. 10 outta 10 definitely recommend.

Hands down best bar in East Nashville. The bites are great and the cocktails are even better. The staff is super friendly and keep the atmosphere great. The music is great and a chill tucked back bar to enjoy!

My friend picked me up from the airport and we came here because it was close to my house and open at 11pm. I got the Brussels sprouts and a mezcal cocktail. I was already buzzed from the plane because the southwest attendant had loaded me up with free wine all the way from San Diego, so my tipsy experience at th Inglewood Lounge was great. The music was popping, it had a good vibe, and it's just down the street from my house so I will likely be coming back. It did hit my wallet for ~$40+ for a drink and small plate but cest la vie post COVID inflation.

So amazing beautiful perfect awesome the cheese fries are so sexy and hot and wow I want to eat them forever

Brandon took care of us, what a sweet heart! This is a great locals lounge . Awesome drinks and attention to detail

Quirky Little E. Nashville Pl. Authentic to the area, solid service at the bar, creative drink menu. Just the right amount of divey without feeling forced or veering into the gross. Could imagine this being my local joint if I lived on this side of town for sure. Very, very small, but that lends some fun factor. Can imagine late nights might get a bit stuffy, but around dinner time it was poyfect.

I had always heard about the cocktails, which are great, but I was surprised how good the food was. It's a small menu, but one of my favorite places in the area.

We were looking for a place for a late night snack and nite cap and are so glad we found the Inglewood Lounge! Great ambience and good music. Friendly staff and good food, too! The crispy Brussels sprouts were awesome!

Went there last night for the 1st time. It's a small bar with good ambience. Tried the crispy Brussels sprouts, best I've ever had. Then I had the peri peri chicken sandwich, fantastic. There's not a big selection in the menu, basically you have bar food. But what they do have is really good. If you want a couple of beers and a good sandwich or burger, go there!

Adorable quaint place that has a good amount of parking. We were greeted and seated ourselves. The menu is limited but very good. The bartender was adorable and very friendly. She helped pick our drinks and was very efficient. The tacos and peri peri chicken were sooo good but I'll be honest, I can't stop thinking about the marinated carrots that come with the tacos. Seriously, best ones I've ever had! You can listen to some decent 80's & 90's music, while playing some board games. That's what we did. Lots of eating was done too. :)

I went here for a nice Saturday night with the wife and we've decided we're going to be regulars! Seriously, this place is so good! The quality of their cocktails is always better than you think it would be, especially for the price ($8-11). They aren't as inexpensive as Walden but Inglewood Lounge uses quality liquors to make balanced, tasty drinks for us Inglewood-ians to enjoy. Inglewood Lounge is an intimate joint with a mix of mid-century modern and tropical plants for decor. They have cocktails, inexpensive wine options, and a small but decent beer list to enjoy. The service and atmosphere here are super laid back and it always seems like the staff is actually happy to have you join them for a drink. You will be happy you joined them for a drink. For tonight's selection, I had a Black Manhattan and my wife had a Bee's Knees. Both were balanced but strong, flavorful but not overpowering, and all around solid drink options. The Bee's Knees (Gin, Honey, Lemon Juice) was bright, floral, and spring-y with a good gin backbone to carry the drink. The Black Manhattan, which I've had more than once from here, is one of the best whiskey drinks I've had in Nashville, driven my a cherry-infused taste profile. The food list is small but great and echos their drink list. They invest more in quality than quantity and create things they would want to consume, thus creating things customers want. Currently, there are carnitas tacos (so dang good!) and nachos on the menu along with polenta tater tots, piri piri chicken, and marinated olives. Like I said, not many options but each item is good. If you go, get the tacos and the nachos. The nachos aren't super heavy and have a good roasted pepper-driven queso sauce on them along with cilantro crema. Pros: Quality Quality Quality Cons: Can get a bit quiet in here. The food menu is also pretty small and I wish they'd bring back the poutine they used to have on the menu. Overall: Such a fun spot to have in the neighborhood. Their drinks rival anyone else's in town and it's much easier to get a table and happy service here than some of the other spots around. Also, their carnitas tacos are worth coming in for in and of themselves.

YES! Inglewood Lounge is perfect for this neighborhood, serving up craft cocktails and small plates in a fun 60's mod setting. It's a tiny little place, but this hidden gem needs to be your new favorite hangout immediately! The decor is great. Dim lighting with plants all around, fun brightly colored wallpaper, and 60's furniture. The lounge furniture was very comfortable and great for sitting around and talking with friends. This would be the perfect date spot. At first I thought this place was just a cocktail bar, but Inglewood Lounge is really the bar front for the catering company Actual Food who serves a small menu out of the back. We got the beet salad with goat cheese and pistachios ($5) and it was DELICIOUS. Sour, slightly sweet, earthy, creamy, it hit all the right notes. For drinks I got the pomegranate shrub ($9) which tasted like a pomegranate kombucha with vodka, sour and sweet and yummy. It was so good that when my drink was finished I ordered a second. My husband got a few beers, Sierra Nevada on draft for $5, Miller High Life bottle $3. Prices here are very reasonable, service was exceptional, and the vibe is just cool as hell. We sat and talked with Yohan, the manager/bartender, for a good while and I felt like I was just chilling in his living room and having a great time. They also have a small outdoor patio. Literally no complaints, you need to get here ASAP!

I'm writing this review from my cozy corner table at Inglewood Lounge's soft opening. I'm in looooove. From the mid century decor to the delightful small plates to the mix of classic cocktails and affordable macro beers, this place has it all. Staff is very attentive in an unobtrusive way despite every table and stool being occupied and the place being BRAND spanking new. I've been a fan of Dan's food, from his catering to his awesome Actual Brunch pop ups, for years, so I knew the small plates wouldn't disappoint. The marinated olives are the BEST I've ever had in my entire life. The poutine, topped with mushroom gravy and cheese curds, needed something - a little more zing or a bit saucier perhaps. The fries themselves were fantastic. There's no cocktail menu, just a list of whiskeys and mezcals, four wines (red, white, rosé, sparkling), three macro bottled beers, and Sierra Nevada on tap. I ordered an old fashioned and was asked if I wanted bourbon or rye, a question I always appreciate (the answer is rye). No complaints regarding my cocktail. Hanging out in the former Mrs. Winners, with wall to wall mid century details, feels like hanging out in the living room of your coolest friend. Plenty of young children hanging out on my visit. There's a small side patio looking out on the Sonic next door. Overall, I'm thrilled about this excellent addition to the neighborhood, and I can't wait to see how they grow.

Far and away the best Wendy's I've ever been to. Dooope cocktails for ridiculously low prices. Bartender in the monet shirt, you are talented!

Love the atmosphere. My drink was tasty. Most menu items were good. Would recommend. This was my first visit and I will go again since they it's so close to home and they are open late.

Housed in a former Mrs. Winners chicken and biscuits, this neighborhood bar has a lot to offer. Drinks are reasonably priced, the vibe is right, the music is good, and Joe, the barback, is the best in town. Every empty glass was cleared, all clean glasses were promptly returned to their rightful home behind the bar-- nothing got past Joe. I came for the drinks but I stayed for the service.

What a great neighborhood place for a drink and food. A great vibe to chill out and now even better with he outdoor seating under the sun shades.

The drinks make this bar fantastic! The lights are dim and there's a great vibe. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The tacos were pretty good if you want something small to snack on while you enjoy your tasty beverage!

Went here due to the amazing reviews on Yelp. This place deserves 5 stars and then some. Its like hanging out at your best friends place, with amazing food and a top shelf bartender. I had the tacos, and the tots. Both were great and priced well for what they were. Bartender suggested a drink after asking what I like. Black Manhattan. Never had one before but it was perfect. I'll be going back for sure.

Not being from Nashville I thought this place was a former Taco Bell, but you get the picture. The fast food tile is still on the floor. This is a unique joint and I love their spirit. Cool place to hang out. We didn't have any of their food items, but they looked good. We were staying in the area so we were curious about this place. Nice drinks, good whiskey selection and New Heights Navel Gazer stout, dig it.

This place is really cute and hipster. I just couldn't really put my finger on "the vibe." We went for after dinner drinks were able to grab a deck of cards to play with while we sipped our drinks. I wasn't too happy with my drink, but it took a while to get it so I stuck with it and sipped it down slowly until we switched locations.

I love the vibe of this place! 60's inspired decor and menu. The cocktails are very interesting and delicious. The small food menu is modern and tasty. Try the beet salad! It's sweet, vinegary, earthy, and creamy at the same time! The service was very friendly and our bartender Yohan was a cool dude. I was only visiting Nashville and this lounge made me wish I had somewhere like it back home.

Boom! If you're reading this now, you're too late. Inglewood Lounge started off on the right foot and word of mouth/loyalty have only increased as the days have gone on. It really is as great as you've heard. It's also as small as you've heard. The place is small and if you plan on coming on a peak day at a peak time, you, likely, won't get in. The powers that be aren't being rude; they're just adhering to the fire code. When it comes to the name/description, don't think 'lounge' as in dark nooks, fancy clothes and a scene. Think 'lounge' like 'I'm lounging at my buddy's place. He just happens to be an expert mixologist and a great cook. But, you know. We're chillin'.' It's that kind of lounge. But if you come on an off night at an off time (and only with one other person; this space isn't good for groups), plan on having a fantastic experience. First off, the decor is '70s adjacent. I don't know what that means exactly; it just came to me. The vibe of the place reminds me of Bruno Mars' current musical identity. I think that makes sense. Think about it. It's just cool. The wallpaper is cool. The tables and chairs are cool. The shape and design (repurposed) is cool. This is just a cool spot. Cool. Not trendy. Not sceney. Cool. And what do you do in cool places? You drink. And, even the drinking is cool at Inglewood Lounge. You could have beer or wine. Or you could dip into the curated mezcal and/or whiskey collection. OR you could lean in to the vibe of the lounge and leave your choice up to the bartender. That's what I did. Twice. And two times I tasted something out of this world. The bartender will ask you for a spirit ('gin' the first time, followed by 'rum'), a flavor profile ('subtle' and 'sweet') and a POV ('new' and 'classic'). That's it. Just sit back and wait for something crazy good. Now do you understand why this is a small place? Such a cocktail program isn't scaleable. These drinks take a long time because they are particular to you. Y'see? Good. I knew you'd get it. Before you take a sip of the beautiful cocktail in front of you, take some time to look at the glassware. Both drinks were served in unique and appropriate glassware. It's the details. They matter. If you must have some food in your belly (unique drinks and good conversation isn't enough?), IL has you covered. I wanted to dive face first into the poutine but rouxs are never gluten-free friendly so, no. Don't cry for me, though. The carnitas tacos are truth. At $7 for 3, these tacos are packed with flavor (seasoned meat, pickled red cabbage and salsa verde). I almost ordered another 3 but I kept my inner fattie in check. I've heard good things about the s'mores waffle (because, how could I not?) but I didn't feel like torturing myself with look don't touch. I couldn't have been happier with my experience at IL. Again, even when I happened in on it a few weeks ago, it was already straining at the seams. By now, it's got to be ass-to-elbows every night. If by some chance I happen to catch them on a slow night, I'll call a rideshare and let the bartender take me on a SPIRITual journey I'll be sure to remember for years. If you come in respecting what IL is, you'll love it. Guaranteed.

Dope. Dope. Dope. Dope. Dope. In an old Ms. Winner's joint and converted to kinda tiki lounge. Prices are good and atmosphere is great. Not large selection of offering so be prepared to like beer, bourbon or mezcal.

Okay so I LOVE this place and the chicken is the best in Nashville, but I did not have a positive experience there tonight unfortunately, even though we come so often. We were served by, what seemed to be, a new waitress. She was not very accommodating and seemed bothered by the fact she had to take our order. But totally fine... We kept on. And our food was amazing per usual. They were out of the tots, so she offered plain fries. We placed 3 orders. But we got up to pay at the front and our waitress was getting our checks together. She charged all of us $8 each for the plain fries. A side of PLAIN FRIES. $8 - the same as the poutine on their menu!!! But just the Fries. Doesn't seem right since the tots are only $5. It doesn't add up at all. We asked her and she was short and rude and made no effort to accommodate our concerns. I got a side of olives and a side of Fries and it was $15.

Love the vibe. Love the drinks. Love the food. Love the music. Love the bartenders. 9/10 would go again. Only reason I didn't give 10/10 is that 5 cars were vandalized in the two hours I was there. So...good bar.

This place is exactly what it needs to be. It's an excellent neighborhood hangout that's worth checking out if you're willing to venture out of five points. The menu is small but delicious and the polenta tots are a must. Drinks are reasonably priced (for Nashville) and dealers choice is always a great option. The bartenders are happy to make you something new if you give them ideas of what you like. We usually enjoy the patio bc we walk our dog here. She loves it too as she always gets a prompt bowl of water and pets from all the patrons. I couldn't recommend this place more if you want a relax evening and tasty libations.

Having lived in nyc for 20 yrs, coming back to my hometown of Nashville has been a culture shock! But in a good way.... the city is so diverse and it was nice to get piece of the nyc cocktail scene in this gem of a bar. I will be visiting frequently!

2.5ish, but I was torn on how to rate this place. If I had not come here seeking food I probably would have rated it higher, so your mileage may vary. I understand they change their food offerings and I was hungry so I thought this would be a tasty option. First of all, do not come here hungry, or at least verify if they actually have any food available first. When we arrived the place was not very packed, and it smelled like food, but they seemed to be out of everything that looked interesting. What they did have seemed like reasonable prices, until it arrived and was comically small portions. Along with not having good flavor my whole plan was dashed. Normally I do not eat very much anyways, but I feel Inglewood needs to rethink their food offerings, or just be a bar and drop the food pretense. I suppose I should have expected that since it is a bar/lounge, but they are a catering company also with a "real food" truck parked outside. Forget all of that. Come here for the ambiance, cocktails, and overall vibe. Also be prepared to go to the bar if you need anything, but that really is not a big deal to me. This would be a great date spot, and the cocktails are not overpriced along with being tasty. I may try again when I am not hungry and alter my review, but since this visit was primarily to taste the food I was let down. As a neighborhood lounge/bar this is a great spot, so do not be afraid to give it a shot!

Such a cute spot! It's quite smaller than I thought it'd be, but it's cozy enough that the size is really no big deal. Lots of seating options despite the size. Cocktails and service were great! I also love that there is parking on location- for responsibly drivers only, of course.

Came in on a Friday night for a date. It was a cool place with a relaxed vibe, friendly bartenders and servers and the owner was even around and very nice as well. The fried chicken and the carnitas were delicious. Cocktails were well made as well. Looking forward to going back.

The vibe is definately 60s laid back and felt like I was in someone's living room. The cocktails were not my favorite...bitter and not sweet like I told my waiter. We did not get a menu to order food and server was not attentive or seemed to care. I will not be going back.

Yes, yes, yes. This is the right place if you want a cocktail person's cocktail. Bring grandma

This place is one of my favorite spots in Nash because of the decor, the drinks, the changing menu, and the staff. Amazing bartenders! And enough bathrooms! I love the outdoor seating in the summer too. The food here is always super delicious. I almost never go planning to eat there but I can never resist once I get there. One thing my boyfriend complains about when we're there is that it's too brightly lit. I kind of agree- a dimmer lighting situation would make this place the best bar. Regardless it's a great place and I'm grateful I can walk here from my house. Thanks Inglewood Lounge!

Great vibe, drinks and bites! This place is a perfect date night spot or a chill night with friends. Music is always good and bartenders friendly. I love this neighborhood hang

Omg so good. My only criticism is that they have grafted cacti on the bar (a bit inauthentic). Real talk -- it was great drinks were strong . Bartender v nice. Music good too. Will definitely come back with my hispter pseudo-bf who lives in Inglewood. Will also probably buy all the drinks again. It's cool tho, worth it! I swear.

The Inglewood Lounge is on Gallatin right next to sonic. The menu is very diverse. I ordered the poutine and lawd, it was amazing! The vibe in here is such as a low-light tiki bar. I kind of felt like I went back a couple decades when I stepped in the door. I just got a beer but I am definitely getting an Old Fashion!

Super sweet spot with legit music and great service. Neighborhood gem that's not pretentious at all! Drinks and apps were great. We'll definitely be back.
