The Establishment

Food is great.Service was excellent.Vibe is so cool.Hands down one of the best Nashville Hot chicken sandwiches I've ever had.

My friend and I decided to try this place after thinking they had trivia on Wednesday. Turns out it's on Thursday unfortunately. We had a couple of things to share. The Capri sandwich was way too vinegary that was very unfortunate. It could have been so much better! Fries were good but you could tell that the amazing fish and chips that they said they offered were frozen. Mozzarella sticks were really good. A swing and a foul ball when it comes to the food so far. Might try some other stuff next time. Good service though and we were thoroughly paid attention to. Ambience was fine for the most part. Just a neighborhood bar kind of place.

When it's the last warm, sunny mid-October Sunday of the season, find your way to The Establishment patio to enjoy both football and al fresco dining. While the menu is bar food, they were happy to swap out grilled chicken on the Nashville Hot and offered several delicious salads, plus Beyond Burger substitutes for any burger. They also have a 0% alcohol beer and some pretty good beverages. From the crowd, it's apparent this is a favorite stop for friends and families with young children, which adds its own level of entertainment.

Stopped here on the way back from UC medical. Thought we would give Oakley a try. This bar came highly recommended. Located on a very busy street. Parking is limited. Great local vibe. Bar is very comfortable. They have about 7 to 8 beers on tap and a full cocktail menu. Craft beer as well as your domestics. They do have a food menu, but we only stopped for a couple beers, They do have a large patio that look very nice. The interior bar seats about 10 to 12. Staff and bartender seems friendly enough. Will definitely stop again when in the area. Nothing mind blowing, but not a bad local dive.

We had a terrible experience. First, we came there and it wasn't busy at all. We kept having to go to the bar to get drinks and could not locate our waitress. Then we were waiting for 20 minutes to order food without a waitress in the area. We went to the bar to ask if we could order and they said it had to be from a waitress. Finally a waitress came to wait on a table of 10 people next to our group, in the middle of her taking their order I asked if we could put in food next and she said okay give me a second. Never came back and another 20 minutes later came back with that tables food and told me the kitchen was closed for an event so we wouldn't be able to put in food for another 1.5 hours. The worst experience and staff was not nice.

Burger Week 2023 new to us place! We picked out The Establishment to try for Burger Week. It's a place I've passed a few times and had been meaning to check out, so I'm glad we got to try it. I did love that they have a lovely patio that is dog friendly! First come, first serve seating here, so just keep that in mind. I like the decor of the bar and inside area, but the outside looked really inviting if it was a little cooler on the day we went. They have a number of events and things going on, so I have a feeling we will be back for some of those things (like trivia and happy hour!).We were greeted right away and found a table where our waitress was quick to bring us drinks and take our order. We ordered the Southwest Burger and they had a gluten free bun for me (husband got regular, of course), so I was excited about that. So far, this was easily the best burger we had for Burger Week. Southwest Burger: tortilla strips, green peppers, red peppers, jalapenos, onions, chipotle aioli, white American cheese and an angus burger patty. Everything was just the perfect combination!The downside is once we got our food and we had servers check on us a few times, suddenly they just... disappeared. We were waiting and waiting to pay our check. They were a little busy on the patio, but didn't seem SO busy that someone couldn't have checked on us after checking on us 3-4 times while we were eating. I found that to be a bit frustrating, but we will definitely give them another chance because I did like the overall feel of the place and the menu had a lot of options for me.

Pop over often for lunch. Food is good. Nothing fancy. Service can be good or bad depending who you get.My biggest issue is the music.. it's too loud and it's not a club. Sometimes I wanna get work done and it's so loud I can't even hear my phone or the person seated w me. Some chill music would be enjoyable. Save the bumping house music for the evening.

The Establishment is one of my favorite places in the city for a casual drink or trivia. The staff is always polite and attentive (huge shout out to our girl Maddie!!) I come on Wednesday nights regularly for trivia and always have a good time. The food is good (tots are amazing) and drinks are inexpensive. I love the black pearl cocktail. Seating is plentiful inside and outside. They have a beautiful patio as well as outdoor area with turf, a fire pit, and TVs. If you're in the Hyde park or oakley area, highly recommend checking this place out! When you come, make sure to ask for Maddie as your server! She is amazing!

Busy sports bar for the Oakley yuppie crowd.Food and drinks are fine. Service is kinda slow but mostly due to staffing. The folks working there bust their butts to serve their customers.

This is a great place, always have a fantastic music playing and not the same boring stuff. Buffalo chicken dip is soooo good and the staff has been so friendly every time I've been in there. Great atmosphere outside. Love this place.
