Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour
Neighborhood gem

Located across from Printers Alley, just two blocks from Broadway, Black Rabbit is a Restaurant & Bar with full service dinner (4PM Mon-Sat), Saturday Brunch (10AM - 2PM), the Best Happy Hour in Nashville 2022 (4-6 PM Mon-Sat; $6 Old Fashioneds, Margs, and Mules) and Live Music (9PM Fri-Sat) . The creative cocktails and large bourbon collection flow generously from the bar while steaks, chops, seafood, & local vegetables emanate from the wood-fire, open kitchen. Originally home to a furniture showroom 134 years ago and subsequently, the law office of Tommy Osborn, attorney to Jimmy Hoffa, Black Rabbit is writing their own chapter by reimagining what a local Nashville tavern and speakeasy would've been like during Prohibition... wood-fire cooking, strong cocktails, and a sophisticated atmosphere with genuine, relaxed hospitality. Locally owned and operated, we aim to show you our idea of home team hospitality when you visit Downtown Nashville.

Great time highly recommend. We went for brunch. The drinks where outstanding especially the heirloom tomato martini yes that’s right a tomato martini and no it’s not a version of a Bloody Mary you have to try. We also had the avocado toast fresh fresh and the street tacos. Awesome.

Cool vibe with superior service and great music. Innovative menu. The porkchop was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The trout was moist with a flakey silken texture beautifully complimented with the best hoppinJohn we’ve ever tasted. Excellent cocktail selection accompanied by an extensive bourbon list. Music starts at 9 pm. Our party arrived at 8. Our reservation requested a table with a view of the band. We had the best seats in the house. Owner Tommy is a gracious host.

Service and overall experience was terrible. Waiter was trying to rush us out from the minute we sat down and telling us how there was another reservation 1 1/2hrs after us and that we needed to go ahead and order so that they could get us out and seat the next table. We decided to finish our next round of drinks and leave because of how rude the waiter was. I have never had this bad of service at any restaurant before. I've had waiters that were just bad at their job before but never a waiter as rude as the one we had at Black Rabbit.

Extremely disappointed...Very limited menu options. Overpriced. Waitress did not provide accurate information about entree' items. 2 attempts at a $59 entree' and couldn't cook item to correct temperature. However, we were not charged for the $59 entree' and we were given a free dessert for the issue. It was VERY disappointing b/c we were celebrating a birthday and the birthday person did not get an entree' item.
