Golden Pony

Such a nice vibe! Live DJ, cute outdoor seating area, and super nice staff.I ordered the Vegan Caesar Salad and added crispy chicken and it was absolutely amazing. I'm lactose intolerant but a meat eater, so this was the best of both worlds. The dressing was a more lemon/citrus take on the typical Caesar dressing, but I found it super refreshing. Hard to get a good salad after midnight. But I love that their kitchen was open late. They also have customizable Agua Frescas that are yummy!

I really wish I could write a good review, I do. We live one minute away, but we have not had a good experience yet and it's been 4 or 5 trips now? First time the bar was completely empty and there were 4 of us. Bartender offered us a table as we were going to order food too. The owner came over and made us get up and move to these tiny tables up front because the big tables were only for parties of 6 and up. No one else in the restaurant. Our food came and didn't even fit on the tiny side tables. We were holding food in our laps. It was insane. I wanted to host my baby shower here (trying really hard to support local here!!) and got jerked around for months. It was so unprofessional. There was no plan and eventually they just told me - actually I think we're just going to cancel brunch service for a couple months, never mind. We can't help you. We ended up going to Common Ground and it was night and day. Wildly different experience. We've also had our food orders forgotten twice, been forgotten by the bartender three times, and finally when a friend told me she tried to come to happy hour with her baby and they refused her and her husband service I was just done. They wanted to sit on the patio with a cocktail and the baby was a dealbreaker. Not a problem anywhere else in the neighborhood as far as I know. Oh well.

Had such a disappointing experience here tonight. We showed up on a Friday to a not so crowded bar. We got our 2 drinks and then the bartender never came back to check on us. Over 45 mins later we order another drink from someone else working the bar. We wait 20 mins to get our second drink and the guy we ordered from came back once to double check our order and then 10 mins later our original bartender came back to triple check our order. I watched her make three other peoples drinks before even starting ours. She came back to apologize for the rush of drinks that came in (even though there weren't that many people there to begin with). When we got our check, we were overcharged for our drinks. We ordered 4 drinks between the 2 of us but were charged for 6. We had to bring the manager in to get him to change the amount. In my opinion the drinks that we waited over 20 minutes on should've been comped. They both saw us waiting, they knew how long we waited, apologized for how long we waited, and STILL overcharged us! Anyway, terrible experience. The vibes were great, the music was great, but it sucks that we had such bad service (and had to literally talk to a manager about our check). We spent an hour and a half too long in this place. If you see this review you better double check the receipt before you pay!

Tenders 10/10! Get your favorite person and sit at the bar on the patio side to get fresh air after the sun goes down, order the tenders, a drink and just enjoy...

While I didn't try any of the drinks, the place has a fabulous atmosphere. My friend was easily able to accommodate a large party there. The staff let us keep birthday cakes in the back and were so helpful through the process! I plan to be back and try to food and drinks!

The ambiance here looks ultra high-end. It looks like a place in LA you'd see movie stars at. To the point where I seriously considered if we were even allowed to be here!Luckily, the rest of the place was not so fancy and stuffy!The bartender was done-to-earth and full of Southern hospitality.The drink menu was creative and there were lots of local beers available.The food is mainly new-school takes on old-school comfort food, it's reasonably priced and delicious.I will definitely return the next time I'm in Nashville!nice bartender

Always heard great things about Golden Pony. My first visit was on my birthday (Christmas Eve) and we had a blast. They played the whole Renaissance album just for us lol Went recently on a Wednesday night for the R&B night and loved the ambiance again. The team was so friendly and attentive and the drinks were just right. Love that they also have food options too. Can't wait to catch Golden Hour with my group of friends!

Golden Pony is cute from the moment you pull up! They have a spacious, shared parking lot with the cocktail bar off to one side. The interior is beautiful with huge booths and some of the most comfortable barstools in Nashville! I had an espresso martini that was fantastic and a glass of their Spanish red wine. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were great with excellent recommendations. We had the hot honey toast (so good!!!), whipped feta and chicken. The whipped feta wasn't great but the others made up for it. Our bartender recommended cutting a piece of chicken and putting it in the hot honey toast and wow! It was delicious! I'll definitely be back, especially in the summer. Their outdoor areas look really nice.

I was so impressed by this place. I loved the laid back atmosphere, the retro design of the interior and the wonderful service -- every staff member I interacted with, including one of the owners, was so kind and welcoming. Best of all, the espresso martini was divine -- one of the best I've had in Nashville. In addition to the array of enticing cocktails on the menu, the food items sounded delicious as well. Needless to say, I will be back to explore more of the menu.

The Golden Pony is a new lounge that has the potential to be a real gem. The interior is truly stunning, with picturesque decor and a vibrant energy that draws in guests. However, there are some areas that need improvement to truly elevate the experience. Having been here a handful of times now, my last experience was less than ideal due to the continued lack of outdoor seating and the long wait for service. Although the cocktail menu is underwhelming, the restaurant's diverse alcohol selection allows one to create drinks tailored to their tastes. I found the agua fresca to be too sweet, masking the true flavor profile of the cocktail.One element that continues to catch my attention is the lit candles carried on the servers' trays. While they are aesthetically pleasing in theory, they are not functional or safe, and I found them to be more of a hazard than a nice touch. Despite these issues, the inclusive atmosphere and welcoming staff created a warm and inviting environment. With some adjustments to the service, seating arrangements, and safety aspects, The Golden Pony has the potential to be a standout spot for an unforgettable night out.I can not wait to continue to watch them grow and become that 5 star experience.
