The Lounge at 2nd

The food was delicious! With so many options it’s hard to find something actually good. We spent a lot of money on Broadway for less than good food. This is not that place! SO tasty!

Absolutely loved my visit to The Lounge and 2nd! From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional—every staff member was friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the music was off the hook! It really set the perfect vibe for a night out. I did have a bit of trouble finding the entrance due to street repairs, but once I got inside, it was totally worth it. The ambiance is chic and inviting, making it one of the best lounges in Nashville. I can't wait to go back and enjoy another fantastic night! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for great tunes and a welcoming atmosphere!

Quiet spot on a Thursday night but food is excellent. Singer was live and singing some good acoustic stuff. Friendly staff. Clean interior.

Food and service here was fantastic! Came in for lunch with a bit of a hangover.. but had 2 perfect Bloody Marys and a delicious Nashville Chicken sandwich for the perfect cure! Highly recommend!

Hidden gem alert!! We were out on broadway and wanted to grab something to eat before we left the area. We walked into a few surround bars, food looked lackluster and prices were high for what you would get. We were about to head back to get food closer to where we live, but happened to stumble upon this place. I can't BELIEVE we were able to find a spot like this in the area. Linus and Reuben went above and beyond to make us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. They had a menu that was full of the bar food favorites, but they also had items that were very unique, like their chicken tikka sandwich. We ordered a bunch of food - all great portion sizes, all cheaper than restaurants nearby (like the stillery) and all were amazing bites. Normally when you walk into a bar, on a street like broadway, you get what you get and there isn't a "need" for staff to pay too much attention to you. That was not the case here at all. We were taken care of, and anytime we are in the area, this is where we will be grabbing some bites!

This place is an amazing find for down town Nashville!! The music was great, and the Bang Bang Shrimp is absolutely the best thing I’ve had in a long time! There is no mold in this bar, unlike many of the bars on Broadway, which I cannot stay in very long…it is very clean! The bartender is extremely attentive. To top it all off, they have $4 beer!!! I could stay here all day, lol!

My fiancé and I don’t frequent Broadway or downtown often—living here, we tend to avoid the crowds and high prices. But we decided to change things up and head to 5th & Broad. On the way, we stumbled upon this spot, and since I’m a TikTok queen, I remembered seeing it recommended. We stopped in and were greeted with a live DJ and a fun dance floor vibe. We ordered two cocktails—both great—and I got the butter chicken while my fiancé had the chicken sandwich. The butter chicken, 10/10 I do recommend! It is a little on the sweeter side. I didn’t try his sandwich, but it was demolished so I imagine it was good. Prices are reasonable, and they even have a happy hour. Hoping to come back and check it out soon!
