Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk

Hey Garth, Matt took care of us today and was fantastic. Great service!!!! I had Trisha’s Meatloaf with a double side order of the greens. It was amazing!!! We saw your place on a special when you bought the building. Love the place. Congratulations! Also the entertainment was incredible. Great voice!

Giving it a 3 only because of the vibe. Granted we were there on a Monday (Broadway was still packed!) so it wasn't too crowded inside. Our waitress was great - friendly, helpful with menu items, etc. We went up on the roof, which is a wonderful view, and the most crowded area, and then went back down to the 1st floor to eat and have drinks. The live band was good but I didn't see a lot of happy, smiling folks and the place had just generally low energy - so unlike Garth!

We love Garth so this is tough to write but what a missed opportunity. We went for their brunch on Saturday at noon. Immediately told they did not have servers as they called off on them. The one who waited on is was definitely not a server. Never came back after taking order, food was a miss server was non existent and even trying to pay was a challenge. Moreover, live music was disappointing as vocals weren't good at all and he constantly missed words. Sorry there are just way too many good places on Broadway for thos to miss this much.

We truly enjoyed our visit at Friends in Low Places. We went up to the Tiki Bar where there was great live music. We ordered the Chicken Tender Tower that came with fries and enough to feed the 4 of us. The fries were both traditional fries and steak fries that had the ‘trixie’ dust coating and were quite tasty. The chicken was cooked to perfection. Overall, we loved this bar and one can definitely see the effort that Garth and Trisha put into the creation of such a great place to enjoy on Broadway.

My family and I visited Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk for lunch to celebrate my son’s 21st birthday. From the moment we arrived, the host stationed outside the restaurant was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. He offered us the choice of seating in front of the band or on the second floor overlooking the stage, and we were seated promptly. Shortly after, our server, Conrad, greeted us and provided outstanding service throughout the meal. He was attentive, professional, and went out of his way to make my son feel celebrated by displaying his birthday on the screen and generously providing a complimentary chocolate dessert. His thoughtful gestures truly made the experience memorable for our family. During our visit, I was disappointed to learn that, with only a few exceptions, many Nashville restaurants bearing the names of well-known music artists have limited direct involvement from those artists. Most are owned and operated by hospitality companies that license the artists’ names, which was unexpected. We were pleased to learn that Garth Brooks is genuinely involved in Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk, which made the experience even more meaningful.

Really, I would’ve given them only 4 stars, but my server at the bar cordially and swiftly refilled my elbow-spilt cocktail, without a wince. Probably figured because I was an old guy, he’d cut me a break, especially paying for another $14+dollar drink during the happy hours of the afternoon . . . on a Thursday. We sat for almost one round and the band finally came in very hard. A good rockin’ cover band with fiddle blasted away at several hits and finally played Charlie Daniel’s Band, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". About that time we were finishing our second round, and decided to start bar hoppin’ since I had seen the CDB live five times. Very good sound at our position to the stage, with big flat screens everywhere. A great place to see a show. They even give souvenir plastic drink cups with the FinLP logo. This is definitely one of the better bars we stopped in and actually hung out for a bit. Don’t forget the gift store on the way out. Yikes! CritDicks

I just want to shout out Megan our server. She did an outstanding job with your big group. Super friendly and very good at her job. Food was great too.
