This place was great! It definitely gave old school vibes and I loved it! Staff was great, we didn’t have a reservation and they worked us in. The live music was good and the food was perfection 💯 literally on of the best meals I had in Nashville. Everyone who worked there was so pleasant and nice and even though we didn’t have reservations they were so attentive. Definitely will be back!

A really nice experience all around. This place was recommended to me by a local. They said it had good drinks, food and entertainment and they were right. It has a very old school feeling to it and has been around a long time. The music was very jazzy at the beginning and an amazing 70 year old singer belted out some awesome songs. Then it turned into a burlesque show at 10pm. I stayed was longer than I thought I would because the experience was so nice. I sat in the bar because I was traveling alone. The server in that area was very friendly and attentive. I was told they have reasonably priced whisky and that was true. I tried some local TN whiskey and was happy with the selection. I also went there to try the escargot ( I know this is weird cause I’m in TN) because I like to try it everywhere I see it on the menu. This one was pretty good (can’t go wrong with butter and garlic) and a little different. They included mushrooms which was nice but they slightly overpowered the over all flavor of the escargot. I also had the wedge salad and that was pretty typical and very tasty. I didn’t have an entree or dessert so I can’t say if the food is good here or not but those around me seems happy with theirs. All and all I would definitely return and could see myself hanging out here if I was a local.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Broadway area. Printers Alley! Bartenders are the best. Very good at what they do. Waiter was all over it. Very attentive and informative. It is a small restaurant. I recommend, get there when it opens or make a reservation. See you soon!

Just WOW! This is a sophisticated jazz restaurant that feels like you stepped back in time to the prohibition era. The atmosphere and music were straight out of a movie and performers were very talented. The food was so so delicious also, the short rib was absolutely perfect! This place is on the corner in Printer’s Alley and it’s the spot to be!
