Brewhouse West

There’s an outside area in the back, and when the weather’s nice, they have live music and it’s a nice place to sit and have a drink (the Bushwackers, must be made of crack… they are delicious!).
However, the «inside» area has big open windows on 3 sides which somehow allows it to be considered a porch I guess? They allow smoking in there, and I think every smoker in Nashville knows that this is the place to be for smokers. BH West is really close to me, so I have tried to go there and check out a football game, etc… but it is just way too smokey for me. Which is too bad. If they had any kind of actual non smoking option, I’d be there all the time.
In a nutshell: The drinks are great, the staff is great. But if you don’t like cigarette smoke, don’t even bother.

We stopped at this little biker/​brewery bar after kayaking on the Harpeth on a whim. When we walked in the waitress walked by with the burrito and we decided we were ready to order! The service was fantastic, the food was amazing, and the beer selection was awesome. We tried the smoked salmon dip, the fresh fish sandwich, and the Cajun burrito. Everything was beyond delicious! The only disappointment was that we live in WI so we can’t become regulars! They have live music at night on the patio and plenty of sports on the TVs inside. Great place to take a group!

I had an awesome sandwich called Pork Mojo yum ! That sauce was amazing. And the Bushwacker was killer good and refreshing on this 74* degree night. But the best part was our waitress She was amazing. Fast, efficient never stopped helping customers. Not a lot of fluff or chit chat but the girl hustled. I think her name was Jenna. Perfect personality for
A busy Friday night BAR Friendly but not «smoozing», knew her stuff. I will definitely be back and tell my friends to ask for JENNA! Gave her a big tip too. Great waitress

Great food and service. I didn’t like that you could smoke inside but had to try one of those bushwhackers, it’s like a chocolate shake, but 1 is good for me. Very strong! Friendly atmosphere. Very «cheers» like.

Terrible service experience a few weeks ago. Really disappointing as we’ve been going to various Brewhouses for nearly a decade and even had their food catered at our engagement party. We went in on a Monday night. I’m exhausted and about 8 months pregnant. We are about to order dinner. My husband orders a beer and I order a water with lemon. We are both carded because of the smoking allowed inside. I left my wallet in my briefcase earlier that day at work. I explain this. I am told we will not be able to stay if I don’t have an ID. I say we come here every week can you ask a manager to make an exception. Waitress leaves. Comes back, says bartender doesn’t recognize us so we’ll have to leave. I was really pissed. I still am. And it really bums me out that I will never go back here after our conversations with the waitress and bartender. Trying to be fair, these employees felt they’d lose their jobs if I stayed in there and ate without giving them an ID. Maybe that is a legitimate fear but I just wasn’t buying it and don’t like how they handled the situation and chose not to use any discretion. I don’t like that they turned away our business that night, couldn’t have given two craps that we are regulars, and now I don’t get to eat my favorite food. Ever again. I guess we don’t need the second hand smoke anyways but this was just really disappointing.
I’m sure the food is still as good as my old 5 star review so I will leave it here:
Yum. We go here once a week. I don’t like the smoke but the food is ALWAYS so good. Favorites include: big daddy burrito, brisket quesadilla, jalapeño crab soup on special, and the spicy/​chipotle ranch on everything. Oh and their cole slaw is spicy and delicious. Just a laid back place with good beer on tap, often filled with bikers, and plenty of TVs for sports days. Our favorite local place!

Came here with some friends. Service was a little slow but our server was very friendly. One thing was odd. I ordered a classic poboy, which the menu said came with cat fish. When I got my sandwich it was roast beef. When I mentioned this to the server she apologized and mentioned that unless you specify the chef assumes all poboys are beef. What? He must not be from the south. Poboys are fish, usually the «catch of the day», maybe shrimp. But always seafood. Roast beef poboy as a default? What? Huh? But whatevs the food was ok otherwise that just struck me as really odd.

To be clear, I’m a super fan of the bar and the bar atmosphere.
The food is pretty good (good chicken fingers, fries, etc.) and I’m not a huge fan of the wings (roasted instead of fried) or the nachos (turns into a big plate of wet), but I go here ALL OF THE TIME for the AMAZING service, great drink prices, Bushwhackers and it’s super chill.

Hmmm… used to go there all the time. Went yesterday for the 2 for 1 beers and some food. Wings were great, beers were great, staff not so much. Sat at a table to eat then moved to the bar. Day bartender didn’t even acknowledge us at all. Just kept walking by. I watched our server make a snide comment to the day bartender about how I wanted my beer (2 types in one glass). Casey and Courtney were the only friendly ones in the bunch. Weird vibe in there. If management is telling the staff not to be friendly to the guests, then it’s working. Not sure when we will be going back, if ever. Lots of other places in West Nashville to go to where a paying customer is appreciated.

Good band, good servers, good food.

For what this is, an open air beer bar with delicious food, it deserves 5 stars however I have to give it 4 stars for allowing smoking; Because if they didn’t allow smoking my husband and I could bring our toddler to enjoy some of the yummy dinner specials. The staff is very nice, hard to find sometimes in this town. Also, they have good unique dinner & soup specials; tonite’s was jalapeño crab soup & rib tips.

My family and I stopped in here to get a late lunch. We weren’t necessarily there to watch the TN Titans game but, they did not have a single TV with the game on and it had already started. I had to ask for the game which I thought was silly considering we were in Nashville.
The food was great. I liked the 2 for 1 craft beers which was awesome and the selection is decent. I feel that they need to work on customer service. Our server was rude to us on a few occasions throughout our meal. When we cash out please go take payment for our bill and not worry about picking up other tables etc.
The atmosphere is very divish as others have commented on. It could also use bigger restrooms. I can’t believe this place is the same brand as other brewhouses that I have been to. Not sure if I’ll be back.

Tried this place randomly the other day after quick day hike. Great choice! Awesome food and an open air, even though it’s smoking, atmosphere with garage doors that open all the way around, and a huge patio. I had the fish tacos with blackened fish, homemade salsa, and Cajun ranch sauce. They came with lettuce and tomato, cheese, and a huge side of red beans and rice. Awesome!!! They were wonderfully tasty and even seemed like the shells were freshly fried. My husband had the special, which were two brats on buns with a side of fries. His brats came with grilled onions and peppers on top, and he said it was really good, but mine was better… hehe. The beer menu was large, even though our waitress was not familiar with the list of beers at all. I think she said they had around 30. Beers were fresh and lines were obviously well used and clean. Overall a casual, lucky shot of a place to stop that we both enjoyed a lot. Prices were also good for what we had. Can’t beat that. I think our bill was around $ 27 for both meals and two beers. Great little place to stop in if you’re driving by!

I really liked this place! I came for Wednesday trivia a few weeks ago with just one other person. We got a table right away and had The Friendliest Waitress (TFW). TFW clued us in that there was a special to get a free pint glass with each Newcastle Werewolf beer order on any Wednesday in October! I realize I’m writing this review a bit too late for other readers to take advantage of this deal, but there could be others in the future (your present!) so look for posters!
I got a huge quesadilla and was only able to eat about ¹⁄₃ of it. Pretty tasty. TFW was very attentive and gave us some beer advice. I maybe loved TFW so much because we share a birthday, as I learned when she carded me. (So we’re kind of best friends now, and if that biases my review, so be it.)
Trivia was fun, there were about 15 teams and mine did NOT win.
Also be warned — smoking is allowed in this bar!

How stupid can you be?
Pictures on the website but no menu.

Large beer selection!
It was mid afternoon and I was in the area shopping when I discovered this gem. I love the location on broadway so I decided it was the perfect place to have a snack and a beer. After all I just needed a little something to give me strength to finish my shopping and errands.
I ordered a cup of gumbo and a beer. The gumbo was awesome! It hit the spot. Our waitress provided excellent service. I loved the comfortable atmosphere and the awesome pub food. The only negative is the smoke smell as this is 21 and up bar to allow smoking. There is a lovely patio available to get away from the smoke. I plan on visiting these restaurants a lot more in the future.

I was super pleasantly surprised when we went to Brewhouse West. First off, I totally thought Brewhouse West was Brewhouse 100. When we got out there I was all sorts of backwards. This is wrong, we are in the wrong place. Nope we weren’t, we were at the right place and it was great! it’s a smaller version of the downtown and midtown locations. I actually think I prefer this place over the other two. We watched some football, enjoyed the open feeling and met an amazing man. I wish I could tell the story on here but I can’t. However, I bet if you show up, the person will find you and talk your ear off.

Holy beer selection, Batman!
After three trips to Nashville, I have made four trips to Brewhouse West. There is a lot to like about a place like this. This is one of those terrific neighborhood pubs that can make a North Carolinean jealous.
The beer. They manage to have a terrific selection of draught beer without being all fussy with having strictly craft beer. Don’t get me wrong, I love a Yazoo or Sweetwater 420 (both of which they have), but everyone has moments where they’d just as soon a Bud Light. I believe that in total, they have something north of 20 draught beers.
The food. After two meals here, I’ll say that they manage to be a step above some bars. They manage to break past the burger and wing monotony. On my first visit, I had catfish. As an original Arkansan, I must admit that off-​the-​beaten-​path fish house catfish certainly has them beat, but it was tasty. Most recently, I had the big daddy quesadilla. They weren’t joking about the «big.» My only complaint was that they could be a little crispier. My quesadilla standards may be a bit out of touch at the moment since I most recently had them crafted by an executive chef.
The service. My beer never went dry. Good service without being fussy. I cannot stand someone constantly interrupting the course of conversation. Our server did an excellent job.
The atmosphere. I love the indoor/​outdoor feel of this place. I’m a total sucker for a good patio. This place is essentially a gigantic patio when all the garage doors are open. They allow smoking, but the open air makes it completely non-​offensive.
I’ll be back this afternoon for the Arkansas/​Auburn game!

Same as the Brewhouse on Broadway and also in Midtown, except in my neck of the woods. I really enjoy Brewhouse for either some dinner or a couple of drinks. The food is decent. It’s New Orleans influenced, which I love some good Cajun food. It will never be as good as it is in Nola, BUT for what it is, I approve. I do not like the smoke, but you’ll have that with any bar. The quick solution to this is to sit on the patio.
I do not come as often as I should, but the last time I came to Brewhouse West made me think I should change that. An awesome band was playing; It takes a lot to impress me with live music in Nashville, but the band, J Mays & Z Bro, were enjoyable to me. They were pounding out reggae/​hip hop covers that made it easy to nod your head too. Between this, the Woodchuck Ciders on tap and the perfect weather on the patio, it was a very chill night. There was also a birthday party at the table next to us, and the girl was nice enough to share her cake with us. I could not refuse. How could you ever ask for a better night? Free cake!

A Cool place with Cold Beers & Great Cocktails, the food is good too… Outside Deck with Live Music on nice evenings and Two for One Draft Beers on Sundays, including Guinness Stout !

Overall: My favorite little smokey biker bar.
Food/​Drinks: The food is the same as the rest of the Brewhouses — decent bar food with a cajun-​ish flair. (Keep in mind when i say «canjun-​ish,» however, I’m not expert when it comes to N’Awlins cooking.) The short version of what I’ve said in other BB reviews, I usually get the quesadillas but the burgers are good as well and the specials always sound pretty tasty. Skip the salads.
Phew, now that that’s out of the way lets talk drinks. Bushwackers — love them! But fair warning, they are strong! There’s a good beer selection, but this location does have a smaller tap selection than the others.
Location/​Service: A perfect little hole in the wall bar & grill. I’m not sure why this place holds such a soft spot in my heart, but it does. (maybe it’s the number of times co-​workers and i have hooped it up in the middle of the week?) The waitresses are great as is the service and I love that I can just show up in a tshirt and jeans and fit right in.
Tip: I feel like this is more of summer place. The windows are plastic and it’s open air for most of the year… until it gets cold. It does get a little chilly inside sometimes, so keep a jacket handy in the winter.
