L.A. Jackson

At night this place becomes a very trendy club like atmosphere and it's definitely the place to be. However, The bartenders and security here are exceptionally rude and unpleasant. The bartenders will roll their eyes when you order a drink and make a big stink about doing their job. Certainly a vibe killer. Security is on a mega power trip and such small man energy. The wait staff is very kind and makes up for the subpar level of service from the rest of the staff. Is it fun? Sure. But it is also a bit frustrating in parts? Yes.

Came here for a reunion with some friends and a birthday celebration. Overall I have to say the time spent all together on the rooftop was memorable! However, the service and experience could have been slightly better. For starters, it would have been nice to acknowledge the birthday girl - whether that be a small cake or some kind of drink or meal. It shows the intention of the restaurant and how LA Jackson would valuable their own customers. Second, one of us found hair in our food. And although that happens in general - it's unfortunate that it was a part of our first experience here (to find something disturbing in our food). Lastly - service took awhile. Not sure if it was the kitchen being backed up but it took some time to get the food. That said, the ambiance and general environment was nice. Just slight reservations in some areas.

Ahhhh I hate leaving less than average reviews but that's just what this place called for... we had a party of 8 on June 16th, 2024 and the total bill was $370 with 6/8 girls getting 1 drink each.. the pricing isn't so bad if the food is delicious. BUT the food.... the "glitter chicken" was quite literally just Tyson frozen chicken tenders with frozen fries cooked and topped with purple edible glitter... the girls did say that the overhang burger was "okay" and the mac and cheese was good! The venison poppers are not at all what traditional poppers are like, although not bad, just different. The best part of the meal was probably the pizza hand pies.We also had a girl who was allergic to tree nuts which we noted prior to ordering and they failed to mention the appetizer (2 which were shared among the table) contained peanuts. We had to ask and by the time they came over everyone had already finished the appetizers and the girl just didn't have any (just in case, and thank goodness she didn't).So yeah... the drinks look pretty... but the food has unnecessary garnishes (flowers and glitter) and tastes very average (if not below average). Would not return here again unless coming for an outdoor patio rooftop drink (for the views), never for food.The service for a Sunday morning was friendly... although not fantastic... when they came out they didn't hand the plates to the right person, not a single time. They also hardly checked on the table which just makes it difficult to be happy to pay the $20 gratuity fee.

Elegance and classy rooftop bar located in gulch with cocktails that are crafted well and not too overpriced. The alcohol tax will set you back a bit so just be mindful about that.

We got the glitter chicken and a spicy margarita, but the skillet brownie was incredible! The views were great, the service was also great. I would love to come back and try the brunch

This space is amazing, with plenty of room and fantastic photo opportunities. The bar keep was outstanding, and the service was phenomenal. Every time I'm in Nashville, a visit to L.A. Jackson is a must. The champagne bong is both clever and entertaining, adding a unique touch to the experience.

I stumbled upon this gem on a Sunday with a group of friends for a post-lunch drink. Although I wasn't in the mood for drinks at the time (I was the only one), I couldn't resist the allure of a rooftop bar, and boy, was it worth it! The ambiance was absolutely stunning, offering a picturesque view of the cityscape.The real cherry on top was the incredible music selection. The choice of tunes perfectly complemented the vibrant atmosphere, creating an unforgettable experience. I found myself swaying to the rhythm and soaking in the positive vibes.The service we received from our waitress was exceptional. She was not only friendly but also went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Her attentiveness and accommodating nature truly enhanced the overall enjoyment of our time spent at the venue.While I didn't indulge in the drinks, I must mention that the members of our group who did were thoroughly delighted by their choices.All in all, we had a fantastic time at this rooftop bar. From the breathtaking setting to the captivating music, and the wonderful service, every aspect of our visit was memorable. Whether you're a foodie, a music lover, or simply seeking a great time with friends, I highly recommend this spot for an unforgettable experience in Nashville.

My hubby & I LOVE catching a before or after dinner drink at this swanky bar. The bartenders are always so great & the views of downtown Nashville are stunning! Just FYI, LA Jackson is the rooftop bar located at The Thompson Hotel. It is bit hard to find if you are not familiar with the area. There is a parking garage right across the street so very convenient. Also, there are plenty of other cool spots to hit in the area. I would absolutely love to give y'all a perfect 5/5 but no can do on account of the fact you do not serve the basics like a Pinot Grigio. I was expecting a wider array of wines to choose from in this higher end bar. I hope one day you will consider adding a Pinot Grigio (Terlato, Maso Canali) or an Albarino.

The food of the restaurant was amazing! Our entire group had a good time because we were making the best of the situation. The only negative was that we made a reservation because we were a large group coming from out of town. We wanted to ensure that we had a table, being from Miami, we felt we NEEDED a reservation. For the reservation, we had to sign a contract of spending a minimum of $100 per person which we were okay with. However, the week of the trip 2 people cancelled due to a death in their family. The restaurant was not sympathetic and refused to lower the head count. We understood that there was a clause to the contract. However, upon arrival the restaurant was EMPTY. The entire party ordered 1-2 plates of food and many drinks trying to run the bill up to our minimum. When asked where the bill was, we still had $500+ to spend. After what felt like hours, we reached our minimum. After taxes and gratuity, we were forced to spend over $1k to sit at an empty restaurant. If there was a wait time or an over crowded space, I would understand them holding us to that amount for holding the table. This was horrible hospitality and zero empathy from the event coordinator stand point. The server who attended to our needs was amazing! This is why I still have 4 stars because I would go again, just never making a reservation ever again. If you plan on visiting do not make a reservation for Saturday afternoon. It's empty in there! You can walk in at 11am with 50 people and have space to sit.

When I was planning my trip to Nashville, L.A. Jackson was at the top of the recommendation list...so we made our way Thursday night. The guy checking IDs at the front was really friendly, great experience with him. The bartenders were all quick to serve and did it with a smile on their face, we greatly appreciated the service all around! I had the There's No Ex in Espresso - super yummy! Perfect ration between espresso and alcohol. It was realllyyyyy strong. My bestie had their frosè and she had a similar opinion - drink was good, dredging but strong. Lol drinks are well worth your money here. The issue we had was the music. It was like tropical night or something? It was giving Tulum vibes but without the good beats. Lol it wasn't dancing music. Honestly reminded me of like forest sounds. Lol not to mention the DJ took forever to switch it up. The reviews I read said they play hip hop music and we were hoping to have a good night away from Broadway but that just wasn't the case. Needless to say, it wasn't our vibe and we were quick to down or drinks and move on to the next bar.
