"Next came Spanish and Basque cuisine at The Iberian Pig helmed by culinary director John Castellucci." - Michael He
"I'm excited to see the new Nashville outpost of the Atlanta-born Iberian Pig open in the Gulch tomorrow, September 12, occupying the former Colt’s Chocolate factory and kicking off dinner service at 4 p.m. It’s a splashy, multi-level tavern devoted to Spanish tapas and abundant jamón ibérico, with about 40 to 50 percent of the menu carrying over from the Buckhead and Decatur locations while the rest features Nashville-specific signatures. Highlights include a charcuterie tasting of six different Iberican meats (like jamón and salchichón ibérico) with an optional cheese tasting from manchego to the more obscure KM 39 (a Galician cow’s milk cheese aged 16 months), bacon-wrapped dates, pork cheek tacos, and a suckling pig that feeds over six people (72-hour notice required). I like that they’ve leaned into local suppliers—Charpier’s Bakery, Radical Shoots, S. E. Daugherty and Sons Farm, and Retrograde Coffee—and I’m especially intrigued by the Idiazabal risotto with braised pork cheek and the salmón a la parrilla. Designed by Atlanta’s Smith Hanes Studio, the 4,500-square-foot space features a large rooftop patio with a private bar, gold and maroon accents, warm wood floors, rounded velvet booths, and a moody bar tucked toward the back that can feel like a hideout; glass and fabric segmentation helps create intimacy and buffer sound. Guests can also expect a “jamon happy hour” Monday through Friday with reduced prices on charcuterie, snacks, and sangria, and a soon-to-launch brunch." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"A neighboring tapas-and-cocktail option noted for charcuterie and Iberian-inspired small plates, presented as a complementary stop for a glass of wine or a cocktail alongside cured meats." - Beth McKibben
"Spanish-inspired tapas rule this Decatur Square stronghold, and it’s a fun place for a group outing. While small plates such as the pork cheek tacos and the patatas bravas are delish, the cheese and charcuterie options are the stars here. Don’t be surprised if your board incorporates a surprise bit of chocolate.Location: 121 Sycamore St, Decatur, GA 30030" - MATADOR_NETWORK
