"A 12 South neighborhood newcomer, Playdate is as fun as its name suggests, offering ample outdoor seating, a boozy brunch menu, and a colorful, adult-sized slide to add to the entertainment. On Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., your brunch date can include a breakfast burrito, avocado toast, or chicken and waffle slider paired with a drunken slushy, espresso martini, or bubbles for the group. Because after a few mimosas, zipping down a slide sounds like a great idea." - Kellie Walton

"Playdate aims to tap into your inner child with interactive components paired with food and boozy drinks. Situated in a renovated 1920s white wood-paneled house in 12 South, it’s easy to spot thanks to the colorful mural of a cowgirl holding a drink splashed on the side. The outdoor patio with picnic tables and a bar is where you’ll want to be when the weather’s playing nice, enjoying a playful menu of candied bacon, chicken waffle sliders, churro ice cream sandwiches, and boozy slushies." - Kellie Walton, Eater Staff

While they are still working out some kinks it seems with having enough servers, our server Lindsey still did a great job! We didn’t know it was trivia night, and it added to the vibe of our evening. You’ll have to pay to park or find street parking. Location is great in 12S! One issue we had was small children were allowed to stay after 8PM, and they were screaming going down the slide which was mildly annoying at times. (The menu says no small children allowed after 8PM). Prices are good for the food, but the drinks could probably be better for the price. All in all a great experience and we will be back!

This is a unique place with a fun slide in the middle of the bar. We just stopped here for a quick snack. They were out of several appetizers, which was disappointing. The pretzel was the favorite. The brussel sprouts were good, but heavy because they were deep fried.

Loved High Tea here. Service was snappy and sweet, like your favorite cousin who knows how to throw a bridal shower. The staff made us feel welcome but didn’t hover, which I appreciate when I’m trying to spill tea while drinking it.

There's a smaller inside area and then a larger area in the back. It's a cute aesthetic enough place. There's a big slide in the back. Idk if you can actually slide down it or not, we didn't try. We did trivia on Thursday and it was a lot of fun. The food was pretty good. The fries had an interesting seasoning on them, wouldn't call it good or bad just interesting. Service was friendly enough.

The place has so much potential. It’s a great environment and great location, but there are a few things that would make you not wanna come back. It seems like they were short staffed so there was only one waitress covering our whole area. Because of this we waited quite a bit to order, receive a check, or get checked on. Not her fault. The drinks aren’t that good. Most of the ingredients in them can’t be tasted and it was hard to finish.

Drinks were fine. Service ok. Food was either (a) not as advertised or (b) just not good. Cali Chicken salad was ok but had no avocado and lacked enough dressing. Two of us had the chicken couscous salad and the couscous was old and flavorless. Maybe a spot for a drink and a fun ride down the signature slide. Food is not worth it.

Our Nashville girls trip took a delightful detour from the honky-tonks with a truly charming high tea experience at Playdate! The selection of delicate finger sandwiches and scrumptious pastries was delicious, and the tea itself was perfectly brewed. Beyond the yummy food, the service at Playdate was great – attentive and friendly, making us feel so pampered. It was such a lovely and unique way to spend an afternoon, offering such a fun alternative to the usual Broadway scene. Highly recommend Playdate for a special treat with your girlfriends!

Good spot to grab a drink and bite. Great patio space + attentive staff. Food was fine but nothing that will blow your socks off. Chicken and waffle sliders were decent - a bit heavy. Salads were ok.
