Went here late on 11/20/2009, ordered a chees try only to be told kitchen was closed (midnight). Manager opened for us tho and it was worth it! Cheeses are delish and the selection of craft beer was impressive! Great place for a nosh, or a quiet conversation! Will be back here!

Was here 11/19/2009 n had 3 Manhattens. WHEW!! The drinks are great, but strong so be careful! Super small space where 15 people FILL this bar. Staff is great tho, n drinks come quick n easy! If you dont mind crowds, try this place on a Saturday night, definately worth it!

Went there on 11/20/2009, was my first time too. Place filled up early, @ 9:30-10. Go-go's were cute but not over the top hot. The table we were sitting at was eye level to the 'goods' that were being shook in my face -yay! Good music but an older crowd - FOR SURE! May be younger later. Drinks were fast n cold tho!

Was here in Oct '09, great place to start the night. Parking is easy here, so avoid the $10 lots. Drinks are strong and quick, and the bartender even gave me a shot (free). Music was great, but LOUD for the space. Local guys just hangin out with no pretense, good time!

Was here in Oct '09, and while it's not overly shiny or new, JR's holds to the standard of JR's everywhere. Good drinks, good service, and a diverse group of willing guys. Back patio area, strippers, pool table - this is a good place to hang, but not great.

Botique hotel by the Galleria, great prices to stay here! King leisure room was huge, with all the amenities of a 3.5 star hotel! Can't beat the location, or the price! No charge for parking, room service available, excellent staff! I'll stay here again!

Neighborhood bar converted from a car repair place. Big roll up doors to catch a cool breeze, or listen to music. 2 big pool tables to play on, and a large open courtyard. It's more lesbian than gay, but it's a great mix with no attitude. Drinks can be slow as the bartenders talk to everybody, but it's also part of the charm. VERY fun/nice place to grab a cocktail!

Not up to par with the rest of Nashville, and the neighborhood is a bit sketchy too. However, the drinks came quick and service was good. Go here if you're in a group looking for a few fast drinks, or to meet some local guys!

I liked this place! Filled with 35+ folks that are just out for a good time, you won't find attitude here. Back patio that is nice, if a bit narrow. Head to the BBQ area for a bit of touchy-feely, if you care to. This one is a must for the older/cruiser crowd! Fast service and STRONG drinks, too!

Ok, the neighborhood isn't so great, but the drinks are strong and quick to get to you! Great pool table area, and an interesting back patio that gets happening late at night (cruisey)! Not for the faint of heart, but is a fun place for a change of pace!

Was here on Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights - the music was good on Friday/Saturday, with Show Tunes on Sunday. I much preferred the music here to Play, but no dance floor. Great place to meet people and hang out. Had a back lounge area with leather chairs and such. Great staff, quick w/a drink too!

Was here on a Friday and Saturday night. Saturday was MUCH better, shirtless guys, pretty people - but I preferred the music on Friday night. The staff was quick to get drinks, and the music was popping - full dance floor both nights. While not NYC, it's the place to dance in Nashville!

Was there for Kareoke Sunday, and while there were a few regulars, not a big group (20?). Overall, clean bar, good singers, the bartender was quick, funny, and easy to talk to as well. I'd like to try it on a Fri/Saturday!

Was here in May '09, and it's a great space! Up-scale, granite surfaces, dark woods - very nice space for a drink or two before making a night of it. It's filled with 9-5'ers during happy hour, and some of them are way cute. The crowd is 35+ and professional, the music bumping, and the drinks strong! Definately check this place out!

Was there last weekend (7/7/09) and the Air Conditioning was on the fritz! While the place is large, and the beer cold, I just couldn't get over the fact that is was so DAMN hot! Also, it's extremely narrow, so you get a chance to rub up on people as you walk by, and when EVERYBODY is sweaty it's not that much fun. Defineately go if you're into country/western dancing, as its a great space!!!

Great windows to sit and people watch. The beers weren't that cheap, and the first waiter had PLENTY of attitude! Still, the windows gave great views to the pedestrians out front, so it's a great place to people watch. Didn't eat here, so cannot comment on the food.

Ok, hit this bar early on a Saturday night and it was getting full already. Not many young things here, but a few bear daddies to look at. Not the most pretty people here, but the beers were cheap and the set up is all about cruising. Stand at the top of the stairs to get a good look at the front bar! UPDATE: Was here on 10/18 and 10/20. Place was packed with people. Very friendly, quick service, but again, not much to look at. It's a great place to start the night, tho!
