The 12 Best Nashville Restaurants For A Birthday Dinner - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Play Playground is the adult version of Chuck E. Cheese, minus the mascots singing and rapping. And unlike Chuck’s place, there are spiked beverages, hot chicken sliders, and smashburgers to fuel you through the games. Book one of the party play packages and you’ll get two hours of access to obstacle courses, a life-sized game of Operation, body velcro boards, and whirling spinners that’ll likely toss you off, forcing you to “walk of shame” it back to your group. And at the end of the experience, you’ll even get a goodie bag to take home with things like shot glasses and stickers." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak

Nashville’s Best Rooftop Restaurants and Bars | Eater Nashville

"If you’re coming to Nashville, odds are that you’re ready to play. Play Playground is downtown’s latest Instagrammable attraction, merging cheeky games like mini beer pong, a metallic ball pit, jumbo tic-tac-toe, lifesize Operation, and a velcro-covered human dart board, with food and cocktails to fuel the fun. The festivities take place both inside and out on its sprawling rooftop just steps from Broadway. Plus, the brand just rolled out bottomless brunch, as if you needed another reason to visit." - Kellie Walton

Play Playground Nashville - Review - Downtown - Nashville - The Infatuation

"The newest anchor restaurant in the Nashville Live complex comes in the form of what’s basically an adult Chuck-E-Cheese. The 20,000-square-foot playground is equipped with large-scale, neon-lit physical games, nostalgic puzzles, and team-based challenges to go with a full-service bar. They’re serving funky 24-ounce cocktails and small bites like sliders and pigs in a blanket. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

4.0 Stars - Fun, but get ready to sweat! I had a chance to visit Play Playground for an after-conference event on their rooftop. To no fault of their own, this was planned in the dead of the summer on an open-air roof in the late afternoon, and it was wayyyyy too hot to be up there. Thankfully, the rest of the venue has plenty to offer. Quality: This place is seriously fun. The games and activities are amazing, engaging, and highly physical. It's a fantastic spot for team-building or just a fun day out with friends and family. I could easily see myself coming back and paying the fee to play these games again. Service: The staff here was great--friendly, accommodating, and helpful throughout the entire event. One of the bartenders was so honest when I tried to use a drink ticket for an old fashioned; he basically told me I'd be better off getting one somewhere else, which I appreciated. That's good service right there. Aesthetics: The place can feel a bit cramped with all the activities and the way the building is structured, but they did a good job of trying to keep things cool. The AC works, but after you get your sweat on from playing, you'll definitely need a breather. Luckily, there are AC reinforcement units distributed throughout the location, which helps. There are also several bars on each floor, which is a nice touch. Accessibility: This is the one area that could be tough for some people. There are steep stairs to get to each floor. If you're heading to the roof, you're looking at climbing about five flights of stairs. It's a workout in itself before you even start the games! Overall, I had a great time and would definitely return to Play Playground. It's an excellent concept with a fun atmosphere, and the staff makes the experience a good one.

this adult arcade styled spot is a great place to kill a few hours in the city out of the heat. My friends saw this place on Tiktok and it is definitely a content creators paradise with loads of photo ops and a fun atmosphere. We had 150 tickets each and my group made it through all the games (though the word game in the back was broken for Player 4) in a couple hours, taking breaks to stop at the bar. My friends got beers and I was in the mood for a bloody mary which satisfied. No olives though :( piece of advice: play the rock paper scissors game with the bartender- if you win you get a free drink!! and if you lose... you just pay for the drink. it's really zero risk and it was one of the most fun memories I have from this place. Downstairs we cashed in our pooled points for some little plastic knickknacks like branded guitar picks, bouncy balls, and a cute straw cover shaped like a pink cowboy hat. Assuming the games stay the game, just once at this place was enough for me but really enjoyed it and can be fun for the whole family.

Fun place to check out with great games, colorful neon signs and plenty of photo opportunities. The Nashville hot chicken sliders were just the right heat served with chips in a vintage lunch box. The pretzel bites were soft and delicious with the cheese dip and the deep friend cheese curds were good. Staff downstairs were friendly and welcoming the bartender on the rooftop not so much. She seemed too busy with the few male customers and acted bothered and rushed us when we were ordering our food and we had to call her back to let her know we also wanted to order drinks. We went late Thursday night so it wasn't too busy or crowded, which allowed us to take some great pictures.

Date of visit: March 15, 2025 We noticed the Las Vegas outlet at the Luxor the last time we were there but didn't investigate it, so when we were getting together with some friends in Nashville, this seemed like a great opportunity to give it a whirl and we had a great time while we were there! You start with the usual waiver and payment processes but staff there was very helpful and friendly. This isn't a cheap experience, so do what you can to make the most of your time here; take advantage of the free things such as the Connect 4 or the giant Marble Madness tables and definitely watch others playing as well. That being said, this was a great thing to do with a group of four for a couple of hours. From the Velcro wall to the dodging game, there was a little something for everyone and we had a blast trying out all of the games. I wouldn't bother with the unlimited credits option, a couple times through is plenty for all of the games.

The place was a little deceiving from what you see posted on social media. It's super tiny without a lot of games. There is a total of maybe 5 games in the playground. Food was awful even for bar food. Signature drinks supper small over flowing with ice. A total disappointment from how it's advertised for sure. An appetizer, a burger and 2 signature glasses of ice was a quick $100... unless you're super hard up for something to do just go to the local Dave and busters .

Play playground was lots of fun. I perchases the family bundle and was able to go with my kids. They allow children's from 13 and up from 12-7 check the days you can take the kids. My girls had lost of fun. Zack at the front desk was very helpful. The girls were also very sweet with my girls. Helping them when they needed it. Our favorite game was the doctors. And the one that you spin. We had a blast. They mainly only had drinks no main food. Would definitely do it again when we are back in town.

Rating only the Rooftop Level. All of our food was cooked to perfection. There was a LIVE DJ and keep in mind that when you find a place to sit down- you have to order directly from the bar - both food and drinks. But the food will come to you from a bartender to your table. Such cool vibes to start the day in Nashville :)

What a fun spot to hang with friends! My work took us here for an event and we had a blast. There are tons of unique games like a giant bop-it, a memory game meets operation, and tons of other fun stuff. The drinks are fun and the rooftop has a nice view if you want a more casual evening.

The place is a little underwhelming. The spot has great energy and the waiters are so sweet and attentive. There are lights everywhere. The downside to it is that there really isn't a ton to do for the price. It has two cute photoshoot spots, a spinning wheel to sit on and a human Velcro target which are the major attractions. They have lots of drink options but the menu is specific to tequila and vodka. While cute I just wasn't that impressed.

I clearly remember this building from The old central graham station club. If you know you know. Them step stairs to the rooftop. Different levels has different themes and pre loading game card upstairs. Some freebie game and photo props area. Just newly opened. Definitely worth to check out. entertainment hangout place for adults and big kids.

Went here on vacation and how fun! Just coming up the stairs we immediately felt welcomed and it was super fun. Great pic opportunities and fun stuff. Special shoutout to Lana - super super sweet and very helpful during our ticket purchase. Very knowledgeable about the games and rules and just overall epic guest service.

Play Playground has potential to be a great time, but our experience was completely ruined by one of the staff members, Courtney who claimed her name was "um um Brittany". We had to ask another staff member to get her real name. She blatantly ignored our group when we asked for help with a game. Instead of assisting us, she prioritized the group behind us and even allowed them to cut in front of us with no explanation. When I directly asked her for help, she gave a dismissive "sure" and then immediately walked away to talk to another customer, never returning to assist us. Her behavior was rude, unprofessional, and showed a clear lack of regard for fairness or basic customer service. The space itself is fun, but with staff like Courtney, it's hard to recommend. Management seriously needs to address the way guests are being treated.

Very fun! Wish they had like two more games but the games they do have are so fun! The Velcro wall for sure needs a softer cushion or for staff to warn them how hard it is. Cute for an hour!

Fun place. Lots to do. Love the interactive ambiance. Didn't like the prices of the drinks. Will add that my drinks were horrible. No matter what I ordered they tasted like a heavy hand on the sweet and sour mixer. Would go back again but wouldn't really do the bar service.

It was a lot of fun but definitely overpriced for what it is! You should definitely visit to experience it and especially on a special occasion or night but we couldn't justify coming every weekend or very often, drinks were good and vibe was great! The games are super fun as well especially as a group . I just wish the space was bigger !

2 stars go to this joint being super visually appealing, having several fun photo ops, and the employees having positive attitudes. However, the overall experience at Play Playground was incredibly underwhelming to put it lightly. I came to celebrate my birthday with my husband and was totally pumped to be there. There was an option for unlimited play for double the price, but we weren't sure what to expect so we went with the standard option. We paid just over $100 for both of us to play each game once. Cool. We were okay with that and excited. The games themselves were cool and fun to play. My issue, and were they totally lost me was the instructions only being a brief sentence or two describing the objective of the game. What it doesn't do, is actually show you how to operate the machines themselves. For example, there is a Bop It style game with 6 or 7 different action objects (twist it, plunge it, stomp it, etc). They do not take the time in the instructions to quickly tell you which action phrase is associated with which action object. This means you have to figure it out during your 90ish second gameplay, and you can be eliminated for not doing it quickly enough. Disappointing 90 seconds, huh? Most people likely already know the objective of the games. That is the draw that got people to the door. Knowing how to work the machines to have a chance at succeeding in the game is what is crucial to guests having a good time, feeling valid in their ticket purchase, and wanting to return in the future. I obviously know how to play the games now, but no one should have to spend $100 to essentially take a crash course in Play Playground. I understand they need to get as many people through the games as they can with the time provided, but the lack of direction absolutely sucked the potential for fun out of many of the activities. We played every game in about 30 minutes, and it just felt like a terrible waste of money in the end. We left very disappointed and definitely would not recommend this experience to anyone else visiting Nashville or locals until they make some changes. Solution suggestions so customers may get the most out of their experience: -Create 5-10 second videos to go with the existing instructions demonstrating visually how to play each game (enter answers, place tiles, etc.) -Put demo videos of each game on Play Playground socials or YouTube so people can check them out beforehand. -Have a team member at each game that explains prior to folks beginning if they haven't played before.

I had no real expectations of this place when I got here. It's a fun place for adults to feel like a kid. It has games and great photo ops with a rooftop bar with a view of the Nissan stadium. Music was great and the staff were super friendly.

Got worried reading these negative reviews thinking this place wouldn't be as cool as it looked...but if you can't have fun here you probably can't have fun ANYWHERE!! The place was so much fun! Played games, got drinks, snacks...all were great! Might be rough on a crowded weekend but that's all of Broadway. We went on a Monday night. Pro tip have someone toss you onto the Velcro wall

Sara F.

Yelp
The brunch was not worth a $50 per person minimum. We did not get the rooftop experience. We were sat in the back towards the door. Way over hyped. ***Updating my review after speaking with management to say that they took my concerns very seriously and hope that I will consider returning in the future so that I can have a better experience***.

Wow, this is a fun spot. Downtown nashville is filled with your typical honky tonk bars, however, this spot is a fun, two story interactive bar with games! I'm not talking VR or vintage pinball. Oversized classics that will leave you feeling like a kid again. Kudos to the staff members, they were all so great and friendly. Specifically, Alana who welcomed us so warmly and we left having such a good time. Would come again and would recommend!!

Sam G.

I went to Play Playground for a work event and thought it was just okay. I like the concept and tried several games (Red Light, Balance Beam, Perfection), but it felt like there weren't enough activities since some of the games took up a lot of space. The specialty cocktails were overly sweet for my taste, but the staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the experience better.

Priscilla R.

KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS if you come here!! Last day in Nashville on March 2nd, went in to check the place out as they had just opened. Decided to have lunch there because the staff said the food was pretty good, ordered the chicken sandwich and two peach high noons, waitress was nice, chicken sandwich was good, got my bill, paid left a ten dollar tip on the tab. Played some games, staff was friendly and definitely there to hype the games up, had an alright time. Flew out of Nashville early Monday morning, checked my bank statement that week to track spending in Nashville, someone decided to give themselves a nice tip and changed the total I wrote down. Two high noons and a chicken sandwich shouldn't cost $95 even after a tip. My total after tip was $45.
