Had a great time here for a dog’s birthday party. The food and drinks were great, plus we had lots of vegan options. I had the tacos with seitan- delicious! The patio was nice and warm despite it snowing outside.

Great little pub style place with a decent menu selection. The brisket quesadillas were amazing! The service was a little slow but it was pretty busy. Definitely a good date night spot.

We stopped in when stumbling through Nashville on foot when touring the area close to our air bnb. We were seated quickly and all chose different drinks off the menu. We all agreed the drinks were delicious and all priced decently when compared to like establishments.

I am not going to lie; this place surprised me a little. I thought the food would not be flavorful like any other bar food. This place had one of the best burgers I've tasted in Nashville called the "The Nashville Burger". It's on par with any other GREAT burger in town (not that many). The dessert, nachos, and salsa were good too. They have parking in the back of the store, which is excellent, and the environment is friendly.

We went Monday for the 5 margaritas and live bluegrass. It was great, the atmosphere was chill, they had lots of pet friendly, enclosed patio seating where the band was. The margaritas and smoked wings were delicious. Service was awesome too, everyone was super nice.

We had an absolutely delightful lunch today! The sealed tuna salad was great! Tuna was fresh and the dressing is on point. Today’s daily special blue quesadilla was so flavorful and a great choice. Will be back!

Oh. My. Goodness. If you come to the 12 south district and you don’t eat at the 12 south taproom, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?! The food is off the charts. I got the brisket quesadilla (asked for no mushrooms) and paired it with the fat pug milk stout. Ahhhmazing. My husband got the brisket tacos which also had amazing flavor. I wish we were in Nashville much longer so that I could try everything on their menu.

Great tap list, heated patio on a beautiful sunny day, bleu potato wedges are a bar food flavor bomb, groovy service!
