Sonny's Patio Pub and Refuge

Soo good!! The atmosphere is amazing here & we had great service! I loved the mahi mahi tacos

I occasionally visit this place to watch sports and have previously watched boxing here. Recently, I came with a friend to catch a boxing match. We ordered food and settled in, but when we politely asked the bartender to switch the TV in front of us to boxing, she brought over a manager. The manager informed us that they had to turn off both TVs because they don't show "violent sports." At first, I thought it was a joke, but they were dead serious. They still show hockey, just not boxing or UFC.If I'd known this policy, I wouldn't have ordered any food. The management was more offended than apologetic. I won't be returning.

This is a fine place. Pros: lots of different seating options from bar seating to booths to picnic tables so they can accommodate larger groups. There's a nice stage area where I'm guessing they have live music sometimes. When I was there, they had karaoke. It's cute as well, tons of photo opportunities if that's your thing. Now my main issue, which I think is most important with a restaurant: the food. Overpriced and bland. Brisket tacos: 1/5. I have nothing positive to say sadly. Tortillas were uncooked and dry. The brisket wasn't tender or flavorful as good brisket should be, which was especially disappointing in Tennessee. I tried my friends tator tots which were pretty good so there's a saving grace. Our server was nice at least. But I likely won't be coming back here.

Sonny's is always a fun stop when doing a bar crawl through Germantown, or making it your first stop of the day for brunch. It does get pretty busy regularly and parking can be hard since it is all residential. A fun place to hang outside or inside and there is always games and music.

Went there yesterday night for dinner as my first meal in Nashville and got me some Fried chicken sandwich and for the very first time tried tater tots and OMG their food is simply delicious. Chicken was very tender and juicy . Also got a creamsicle ( slushie ish cocktail) and thid too was amazing . It was very very croweded and loud but still had a wonderful time here. Our waitress was really nice , professional and service very fast . You definitely could feel the southern hospitality that's for sure .

I've never had a bad meal at Sonny's but it's never my first choice. Great outdoor seating area.Favorite Dishes: Loaded Tater Tots, Buffalo Flatbread

Friendly neighborhood bar type place where customers are welcome to bring their dogs on the patio and they have lots of games like cornhole, etc. It's basically the kind of local place every neighborhood should have. The southern jam burger was tasty and had a habanero bacon jam I had never tried before. It was a good combo of sweet and spicy that balanced each other out well. It went well with a side of tots and a couple local beers.Service is very friendly and casual, they aren't rushing you at all here but they're very attentive. We sat on the patio (as did most others) on a warm and sunny evening but they do have inside seating as well. I'd come back here if I was in the area and would recommend checking it out. If I lived near here, I'd probably be a regular.

Went for Sunday brunch, arrived early so it wasn't at all busy. Our server was FANTASTIC and the weather was perfect so we sat outside on the porch. Started with the mimosa flight, which was a fun way to switch up the go-to brunch drink. Then went for the breakfast tacos which were so good. If you're picking between the sausage and bacon, the sausage actually has more flavor. Both are good though.

Really overpriced for what you get. We ordered the truffle Parmesan tots which for $11 you think you'd get a reasonably sized portion but it came with about 6 tots? The margarita flight is also basically juice. The service is great though!

You can tell they pride themselves on the patio. That's about it folks. Food and drinks are overpriced and mediocre at best. Wait staff was plentiful, but unable to answer pretty basic questions and couldn't keep up with what appeared to be only a handful of tables. Great patio. Plenty of TVs with every game on. Everything else is just ok.
