Nashville Underground

Maybe it was because it was early but the vibe here during Monday lunch was - we don't want you here. The barkeep was not friendly, in fact our interaction was below minimal. Once the food was delivered, there was no how was your food... which I will get to in a minute. She did not ask if we wanted a refill, just filled the water and soda. My son was halfway through his meal and she asked if I wanted the check, I looked at his plate and answered no. Another gentleman sat down beside us and after a few minutes he asked me if someone was working ... as the bartender frequently went upstairs, leaving the few patrons downstairs alone. The security guy at the door also double duties as the mechanical bull operator, which meant he actually stopped a rider mid ride to cars someone coming in. The food- the fried green tomatoes had zero flavor. The pimento cheese topping was less than stellar. I made a quick dipping sauce with hot sauce, Mayo and a splash of ranch to make them palatable. The fries and chicken tenders were fair, nothing special. All in all we had an overpriced app and lunch meal, where the atmosphere was promising, and ungracious service.

Stopped in to check out the music and view. Decided to have lunch as it started to rain, and they have a covered area on the rooftop lounge. Great views of the river, park, and Broadway. Top floor was understaffed. Our server was doing her best...food was pretty tasty for a quick bite.

I don't really go clubbing. But if I did this would be the spot. I only came here because of a meet and greet. The drinks is not all that but I suppose it's just me... I went during club hours.

This is my second time here and I love their ring of fire chicken wings. It is HOT but the oil and the spices mix so well together and is so flavorful. There are bunch of other drinks, a bowling place, games etc for kids to enjoy while you grab a drink and food. Must recommend

So here is the deal. I was at the 2024 CMA Fest for a couple of days. Besides the obvious scheduled performers on the various stages, there were performers in all the bars/restaurants on Broadway. I was in the Underground on the second floors to see and listen to a wide variety of artists from all over the United States. The atmosphere at the Underground was fantastic. Prices were right for all the food and drink I and my group consumed. One of the best groups that performed was songstress jo and the familiar. They were electric. I am familiar with the group, and their choice of covers was spot on. They even played a few of their originals which were fantastic. I loved the Underground. If you are ever in Nashville and want something untraditional, check out the performers on the second floor. You will be glad you did.

Located at the end of Broadway, this bar might not seem too promising from the outside, but once you're inside, it’s a great place to have a good time. The venue has multiple floors, and each offers a different kind of entertainment. The ground floor greets you with plenty of games and a bar area. On the upper floors, there’s a karaoke bar and a dance floor. There's also a rooftop with a great view, which adds to the experience. The place has a total of 6 floors and each one has something special to offer.

BUYER BEWARE! The bartender stole from me on 5.18.24. He was a black male wearing a black shirt on the rooftop bar location. He billed me 99 for 1 beer, 1 cranberry vodka, 2 Red Bull vodka and one red bull whisky. I asked for no top shelf liquor. When I asked how much the drinks were he said “I don’t know” I asked for my itemized bill since the bill he gave me only stated the full amount. And he said he couldn’t give me that. Later my cousin bought a cranberry vodka, asked for a receipt & it was only 9.50! AND it was itemized! Super sketchy to deny an itemized bill!! I’m suspecting he overcharged and that’s why he refused to give the itemized receipt.

We went to Nashville Underground after a Titans game, and everything was going great…until we got the bill. Initially, we were charged $55 for chicken tenders, two $12 cocktails, and a beer. Fair enough. Then, our waitress realized one of the $12 cocktails wasn’t included, and with whatever fees added, the drink became $19.46. How does $12 turn into $20? Between the unexpected fees and subpar food (those chicken tenders were more like boneless wings), this place isn't worth a visit. Plus, one of my friends got an extra $200 charge on her bill, which she had to correct by going back downtown after we returned to our hotel. I’d avoid this place, unfortunately. I was excited to come here but left quite disappointed.

Liked this bar because they didn't play around with admission (another club next door thought it would be funny to tell us we had fake IDs and were super rude). There is a bull as soon as you entered and our group took advantage of the experience! Rides are $10 and a waiver is required. We ordered their frozen drinks and enjoyed the air conditioning and other fun experiences like bowling inside the establishment. They have a rooftop as well for some great views on Broadway!

The Nashville Underground is located accross from the Hard Rock Cafe & the food and service were great. For a downtown spot, I felt the food was priced fairly. Our waitress did a good job taking care of our party of 7 ladies on a busy Saturday night. She kept us hydrated with cold ice water to help with the summer heat AND kept checking on us as we waited for our food. We mostly ordered hot chicken, wings, tenders (various ways) & one friend ordered the puled pork french fries. I had the Medium hot tenders with fries & a lemon pepper side with ranch & it was a 10/10. Apparently there was an upstairs section with more to do, but the downstairs area had a few bar seating areas and high top tables with a view of arcade machines & a mechanical bull. It was entertaining to watch people attempt to ride it as we ate our food. They were very welcoming to our bride to be and we found out that brides get to ride it for free. Although she did not take advantage of this. Overall, this is a good spot to grab dinner while enjoying nightlife.

This location was really something else. We had walked in here because one of our friends was leading the way, and this is deafly one of the locations on the main strip of Nashville for more of the younger generation. There's a lot of young folks who come out here to drink in their late teens and early 20s and considering my group was all in their 30s. It was definitely a little bit out of our comfort zone to be around here. We felt like we were in high school again and it was super nostalgic and we honestly had a really great time, but the drinks were absolutely terrible and water down. I really do wish that this place was a little bit more clean. I would highly recommend if the waiters and waitresses could walk around and just wipe the tables at minimum as people are coming in and out. The DJ upstairs had a lot of fun with the crowd so I can't complain there. We definitely had a couple of moments where we were just screaming and singing old songs from a decade ago so that was a really memorable moment for a group of people.

I can't recommend this enough! We had a group of 4 kids ages 5-8 and this was perfect for them! It was the perfect outlet for them to be able to go to Broadway, listen to music from the streets and have something fun for them! It's near the end of Broadway so we parked at 5th and Broadway and walked. This was their favorite part! I can't speak on the food since we didn't get anything but there were many people there to help us get set up on the bowling alley. The technology was super easy to use! I told my husband that we needed to have a date with the two of us here, it was so much fun!!

This place was super cool and you should definitely take advantage of the games. It wasn't overly busy when we went so we got lucky and could play almost everything. Awesome spot! I wish it got a little more attention.

Another fantastic rooftop bar...plus they gots cornhole Views of Broadway ( all the honky tonks), Downtown Nash, the river, and Nissan. This is my second or third time here and I love each levels theme. Bowling, gaming, dancing....I think they still have the bull ride machine but I was pretty hammered and cant remember. We were there for Saturday college football Tennessee vs Bama....fun game and great crowd watching, Great beer on tab and nice cocktails. Food is great bar food. Take the stairs to the roof

Was recommended to come here for UFC PPV. It was not on, atleast in Sept 2024. No big deal. Place has like 3-4 floors of action. $11 tall boys I did not like the price, but alot of beauties dancing and good people watching.

We specifically came here as the birthday girl in our party wanted to ride a mechanical bull. The gentleman at the door was very nice and friendly and checked all our IDs, even us 55 year olds...lol (Something every place on Broadway does??). We bought tokens and our party girl had 3 attempts on the bull, which she enjoyed. Then we used the rest of the tokens on skee ball and basketball. The skee ball wasnt working properly so the manager (the gentleman at the door and bull ride operator) came and fixed it. We did not have any food/drink so cannot comment on that. They had bowling too. Very casual bar atmosphere.

I really liked this place. Of course it is touristy, but they had fantastic food and even more fun beverages. They serve drinks out of a cowboy hat!!! Bar staff were fabulous and they food was tasty. The meat eaters in the group said the chicken sandwich was the best they had in Nashville. I liked that they had plenty of vegetarian options. Easy to access and they are great for groups because they offer reservations!

Really fun place to tailgate or hang out after the Chargers-Tenessee game that we were able to walk to. They had a custom menu just for the Chargers fan! Lots of TVs and a large screen TV in the center, as well as outdoor seats. The chicken sandwich was okay, nothing special, so it didn't stand out much for me in terms of tastiness.

The bathrooms were out of both soap and paper towels, and the food was lukewarm at best. The food probably would have been good if it was hot, and the staff I interacted with was very friendly, but overall I don't feel it is worth a stop.

The chicken and waffles were off the chain and I was pleasantly surprised. I came to walk down the street to say I've done it. Found this place at the end and it was so good

We stopped here to grab a bite. We were able to walk right in and grab a table. The place is loud, no live music. Ordered a rack of ribs with 3 sides - lots of food. Glad to at is all we ordered for the two of us. The ribs were a dry rub with sauces on the side. They were very meaty and tasted great. As for the sides.... Southern greens were very good Cole slaw wasn't great, not much of a taste Mac n cheese - well the first two tries were cold, but an amazing taste. Finally got a hot dish of it and it was great.

Came to this establishment simply to ride the mechanic bull and experience this while visiting TN. Came in and waited in line. There was someone riding the bull and the operator was at the machine controlling the bull. Got waiver done and got the $10 fun card loaded to ride the bull like the operator said before they were done riding. I was next and the operator just started walking away. I waited a moment thinking he would come back and he didn't so I went up to him and asked if I should just wait and if he was gonna still let me ride the bull. He said no and to ask the bouncer to let me on then he went somewhere upstairs at the establishment. I said okay and went to the bouncer who had no one coming in at that moment. I told him what the operator told me and asked if he could allow me to ride the bull. He said that's not his job and first priority are ID checks and door watching and if it got slow he would let me on. Remind you, there's NO ONE coming in so I was very confused. I then asked the bartender what's the deal and if I need to wait for the operator or if him or anyone else could let me ride. He was visibly annoyed and he said these two employees fight about this all the time. In my head I'm thinking is this an establishment or a soap opera as all I'm looking to do is give them business and ride the bull. He said he would call his manager and see if he could let me on since these two employees just wanted no part in getting me on the bull. He called and said he didn't answer and didn't push anymore to try to allow me to ride the bull. I told him I'm good and I just want to leave their establishment and asked to get my money back. He then said we can't do that and I told him well if you won't help me I demand my money back. He still annoyed then just said okay fine and he just pulled money out of the drawer and I left the fun card at the bar and left. Get your staff in line and on the same page and reflect some level of professionalism. I warn anyone who is drawn to ride the bull here to take in my warning and experience. DO BETTER.

Just don't understand how you can have restrooms with no sinks or running water to wash your hands. Both men's and women's had working toilets, no sinks to wash your hands. I believe it's a law that employees wash their hands after using the bathroom. How can they when there is no running water or sinks? Just a very long countertop with nonworking faucets on the wall. Very strange! Probably won't visit this place again.

So everything we ordered we packed and took to our room because nothing has seasoning on it. The macaroni was nasty and the coleslaw I have had better. The ribs were undercooked and tough. The brisket was over cooked and gray. It didn't have the brisket bend. If your a foodie you will understand. The tacos were not that bad but not enough chicken and too much cheese to try to fill up the fajita wrap. The egg rolls were pretty good and probably the only thing that was good. I love the location because Broadway is the strip of fun and sight seeing. The mechanical bull looked fun but I'm not a dare devil to try to fall in front of people. Well I hope you can go try and see for yourself.

Food was great. Service not so much. But only because they had one waiter/ bartender and once the bar filled in he ignored the tables

Our team was in Nashville from all over the country and we decided that there would be something for everyone at this spot. The view from the roof is stunning and for being right downtown, it wasn't too loud. The chicken was decent, but the collards came out ice cold. Our server was alone so I didn't want to ask for anything special as she not only had our table, but the rest of the rooftop and the bar. I wish they would have given her a little more help. There were no customers in the rest of the place until later (we got there around 6) and they had 2-3 bouncers outside. For a Tuesday night, I wasn't expecting busy but they also knew we were coming. I'd go back for the entertainment factor (bowling and a bull), but I'd likely eat somewhere first.

We made a reservation on NYE for 7pm and there was only 1 bartender who was also to be the waitress for the entire floor. She was sweet and willing to take our order but the wait would be long. Management set her up to fail. That left us with a large group of 10 who were very hangry on NYE so the night was on its way to being ruined. So we found Big Jimmy's around the corner and they saved our NYE. I couldn't tell you how the food is but skip this place and find another location that won't disappoint you. There are far too many great restaurant/bars in town. And those who work here should apply elsewhere. There are other places in town that wouldn't put employees in that position. Management should have shut down Yelp from making reservations when there's no hostess or staff available to support a dinner.

Mediocre food , terrible service. Have a great time at your bachelorette party! I won't be back.

This is a place for a good time. Multiple levels and a good mix of music. They lost two stars for the drinks and undercooked chicken. The drinks have more juice than alcohol which is fine for people who are not familiar with how a mixed or frozen drink should taste. I asked for my chicken wings to be cooked hard but that's not what I got. The chicken was still a bit "slimy" (check the pictures) so I couldn't eat them. I attempted to salvage them when I got home but that just cooked the outside even more. It's a good place for dancing and playing games. They have three bowling lanes, arcade games, and two outdoor decks.

Tick tock brought us here. We had so many stops to make during our time in Nashville and this was one of them. It's a bar. They have bull rides. They have our arcade ride duck. Bill bowling. We can get any food here but I did get a drink. The drinks are not cheap and they do not run specials and they're kind of watered down and awful. I would just come here to rest after walking around on Broadway so long and play the games. Definitely don't get anything from the bar

Loved this place!!! The reason I wanted to go was mainly for the mechanical bull but they had a bunch of other fun stuff to do! It was my birthday so they let me ride the bull for free which was super fun. The food was also delicious - everyone enjoyed their meal. We went on a Monday and it was not crowded at all so our group of 12 was able to sit wherever we wanted. This place is filled with many fun things to do such as bowling and arcade games. I would recommend this place for a quick dinner and hang out for big groups.

This place is awful. Rude management. Broken machines that they use to collect money despite knowing they don't work.

Love this bar! They play UFC, but no sound. Otherwise, such a great place to hang out and grab drinks!

Also known as Mimi's Hot Chicken and BBQ. We came with a bachelorette party on a Friday night. Truly, we were a party of 17, so it was great they could seat us together on the second floor, reservation at 430pm. Food and drinks came out very quickly, service was very good, attentive. My food was so so. I had the barbecue platter- brisket, baked beans, nashville fries (Arby's curly fries but straight). Brisket was not necessarily fresh, maybe frozen from a bag? It was just bar food...again service earned the extra star.

I visited on a Friday night when my friends came into town. I figured this place would be the ideal spot on Broadway since not everyone was into the whole drinking and dancing scene. We played a few games, rode the mechanical bull and then ate dinner. For the games and mechanical bull, we had to pay for a game card. Two rides on the bull was $10. It was fun and the person operating the bull was very friendly. I tried to call and make reservations a few weeks ago since open table would not allow parties bigger than 6 but they never answered their phone. We ended up making reservations for 2 parties of 5. We got there around 6 to play some games first but at 6:45 it still was not too busy which surprised me. All 9 of us were able to find a table on the third floor without any wait. The food was mediocre but I guess Broadway isn't know for its food. The margarita flatbread was good and a very decent portion (easily a meal for 2). My friend got the chicken and waffles and those smelled AMAZING. This place is also all ages until 9pm!

Went here for a work event where the bar was closed just for our event. The staff were incredibly unfriendly with non-stop scowls from everyone. Food was provided by the bar and set up on the second floor. All the food items were constantly empty, so attendees had to crowd around and wait for them to be refilled. Once I finally managed to get food on my plate, I found every last bit of it to be overcooked and disgusting. Many of us chose to eat out on our own dime elsewhere after the event. The second floor smelled like sewer the entire time and was very unpleasant. I don't think I'd ever go back here, and would never recommend for a private event of any kind.

I mainly came here for the bull, which was working! I came at 10am and they got me ready by filling out the waiver form and paying the $10. The operator was friendly and helpful. There's an arcade in the back and plenty of options to drink; and a lot of food options.. this place is at the end of the Broadway strip.

I was nervous to eat here because people averaged rating their experience as 3 stars. Usually, a 3 star eatery in NJ can be a hit or miss when it comes to food that I am able to digest comfortably. Given this was Thanksgiving Day, the restaurants with 4 or 5 stars required reservations days in advance, so it was a pleasant surprise to learn that the standards in Nashville are so high that a 3 star restaurant here is equivalent to a 4 or 5 star restaurant in NJ. To start, I decided to try the American Mule. It was such a smooth and refreshing drink that I had two with my meal. It went so perfectly with the heat of the Nashville hot chicken and waffles. The waffles in the Nashville Hot Chicken and waffles entree are where amazing! Alone, it doesn't need any maple syrup. It's sweet and flakey and just the right amount of doughy. But as a base for the Nashville hot chicken, it paired perfectly with a bit of maple syrup on top to counter the heat (since we got medium). The chicken by itself is very salty, but it was moist and well cooked. As a combination, the salty chicken, the sweet, flaky waffle, and the combo of the sweet and spicy maple syrup and Nashville hot sauce was absolute perfection. The BBQ Chicken Flatbread was also super delicious and perfectly prepared. It had just the right balance of crisp, cheese, BBQ, and chicken. The Fried Green Tomatoes was also a really great appetizer (even though the food came out all at once). I suggest ordering your main meal after you receive your entree if you would like to separate your appetizers. However, I enjoyed transitioning my bites between the 3 dishes. Overall, it was a great non-traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, which is exactly what I was looking for this year.

Enjoyed our 4th of a July experience besides a totally rude bartender. She was a petite African American girl on the 6th floor. I was grabbing a cup of water and she was handing out some July 4th accessories. She came towards me to offer a headband and I said "oh, I have 3 people-" (to explain I needed 3 headbands) but I get cut off and she goes "baby, you're doing too much" scoffs and walks away. I've never had anyone talk to me that way, much less at an establishment. Obviously it didn't ruin my night but it was enough of a remark for me to want to leave a review and have a bad taste in my mouth visiting again. The sass was not welcome, girly!!

Outstanding service with a welcome tour by Teddy & quick & super friendly service at our table by Nicole! All our chicken meals were fabulous! We will certainly return! Thanks for the great memories & fun vibe on our first night ever in Nashville! Place was popping by 6!

If I could give 0 stars I would, there was a security guard who was absolutely disrespectful to my group and I. He was condescending and sexist making negative remarks about females. I will never be returning here again and advise no one to go to this bar. It was also not fun as no one was really there and the drinks were extremely over priced but were advertised on a sign out front for cheaper. Extremely misleading marketing and the security guard needs to be fired immediately. I have never been spoken to in such a way.

We ate here our first night in Nashville. I got a burger and my boyfriend the pulled pork. The burger and fries were surprisingly good. The pulled pork wasn't bad either. The service was good. The older gentleman who checked our ID was pleasant. We didn't try any games, so we can't comment on how operational they were. However, I did see lots of younger kids playing them. The place seemed on par for cleanliness with other restaurant/bars in the area.

We landed in Nashville and we were starving!! So we walked Broadway and came upon Nashville Underground. We liked the menu and it smelled great from outside. We were craving BBQ and fried chicken . They had both on the menu. We ordered the Nashville Sampler (ribs and brisket platter). Rib meat was so tender it was falling off the bone. Not overly spiced or sauced. Delicious. The brisket was tender and had excellent flavor. We also ordered the Hot Chicken. The chicken has a nice kick of flavor ( mild spicy) and was the juiciest chicken I have ever had. Definitely a must try!! They also have a mechanical bull.... Wasn't drunk yet.. so didn't try! Arcade area too. Multi level bar. Tried going back later that week for drinks and that bull but the line was down the block. Service was great.

My family (2 adults, 2 boys: 10 and 7) had a great time at this barcade. But it is a risk. A lot of the games weren't working, even though they would accept your money. Go in with low expectations but cross your fingers!

Our last day in Nashville was very rainy - we stumbled upon this spot which was the perfect way to spend the rainy afternoon! Lots of fun arcade games including this mini bowling, basketball, ski ball, beer pong, racing games and more!! You also win tickets to exchange for "prizes" before leaving. Very fun and conveniently located on the Nashville strip across from The HardRock

We went here for lunch only because our friend (who is a local) brought his teenage daughter and it was one of the only places we could go with a minor. It seems like it would be a fun bar at night, and a nice place for watching sports but it wasn't great for lunch. The food was just ok, hence the rating.

This was our first stop of our night. We were with a large party and out for a bachelor / bachelorette night party so we had some fun outfits on. Guys had daisy dukes on and we were basically harassed by the bouncers for it. If you want to joke around for a second that's fun and cool but non stop comments gets old. Luckily the food and service outside the front of the house was good. The hot chicken sandwich was amazing. Best chicken sandwich I've ever had without question. Fun place with a mechanical Bull and lots of games in the back.

Anyone who refuses shelter during a weather emergency doesn't deserve an ounce of business. July 4...2023. The bar next door welcomed us

The server was great and the drinks were cold, after that it was all downhill. For the dinner hour, before the live band, the music was way too loud (and it's Nashville, would it hurt to play country music). The brisket was stringy and fatty. In fact, one person in my party sent it back. The Mac and Cheese was cold, I'm talking just out of the fridge cold. There is a mechanical bull right on front on Broadway, but it was covered in duct tape. No idea if that was done for the vibe or not, but seemed trashy. There are way too many better places around for drinks, food, and music. I'll avoid this one in the future.

Very cool set up with the different floors. We went to the rooftop and surprisingly it wasn't packed! For a Nashville restaurant, their food wasn't crazy up charged. The food came out fresh and super hot. When I tell you these were the best garlic parm chicken tenders I've ever had I mean it. If you'll be in Nashville give this place a try!!

We made reservations here for 2:30 on a Thursday just for drinks, but honestly we didn't need to! There were people there but I saw a lot of open tables, especially upstairs which is where we sat. This place is good for a pit stop for drinks while going out with friends, and that's it. I wouldn't recommend coming here with your family or on a date. The drinks here were alright - something that was weird was they would come in different sizes. I ordered a Nashville Punch and it came in a plastic cup, then when I ordered it again it came in a much smaller plastic cup. The same thing happened for other of my friends' drinks, so the sizes were just inconsistent (also not worth $12 especially the smaller sized cups). Our server was cool but she didn't check up on us a lot. We didn't see her for about 30 minutes and looked over and saw she was sitting at a table talking to people, so we just went to the bar to get more drinks. They do have a mechanical bull on both floors which was fun. I don't know if I'd ever return but it was an okay experience here at Nashville Underground.

I felt bad for the waitress, she had a whole floor to wait on by herself. Of course this will lead to wrong orders but bringing cold food that was obviously not ours was ridiculous and giving my food to someone else is also ridiculous! We eventually got our orders but my son's was still wrong. Good thing we didn't have to pay for that!

So I read the reviews and we thought the food was actually pretty solid. No pictures this time because we were so hungry that we dug into it before I remembered to take pictures. We originally wanted to go to Acme Feed & Seed next door but they were closed so we decided to give this place a try even though it wasn't superbly rated. We were in the mood for ribs and Nashville hot chicken and this place had both. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes. It was not very good. Too much breading and very thin slices of tomato. However, this was made up by the combo ribs and brisket platter we ordered as well as the Nashville hot chicken strips. Both dishes were solid. They weren't superb but they were definitely good. Not much smoke ring on the ribs or brisket but good rub. Barbecue sauce was just okay but definitely the meat flavor made up for it. The chicken strips were good and the fries that came with them were amazing. Okay... so you may think this is funny but I love Arby's curly fries and these tasted just like them. One bonus was the kids could play video games while waiting for the food and my wife and I actually decided to take turns on the mechanical bull. One word of advice... do not do this on a full stomach!

Definitely not a place you should come to for food. Their brisket and pulled pork are dry and don't do Nashville BBQ any justice. The mac n cheese was the best part of the whole meal but everything else was bad to lackluster at best. From a bar standpoint, this place is ok although I was disappointed there was no live music and it was freezing in the dining area on account of the windows being wide-open in late November.

The food was very good and the servers were VERY attentive! The music was great and it was a lot of fun! I highly recommend checking this place out whether it's for the food, drinks, or music!!

By far the worst place on Broadway, I won against my better judgment and I went back maybe thinking that it wasn't that bad but it was worse they'll tell you a drink is $8 and then you order two of them and it comes out to like 50 bucks and they say oh there's a 20% tax well 20% of $16 should be somewhere around $3.20 so that should be about just under $20 they did it twice last time I threw my drink on the floor said I'd rather f****** not even drink it even if I paid for it worse place in the world not to mention the servers are rude All

Went to the spot to watch Ohio State Football game . Great set up for the game and very friendly staff. The food was average but acceptable for game day food. Prices were fair and service was prompt. Would go back here again for a Buckeye game. On the strip Downtown.
