About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Innovative
  • Great for happy hour
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.

    The worst experience ever. Arrived and told our table was not ready. Waited 45 minutes and told to sit at the bar at a table near the front door, not a part of the formal restaurant. When we questioned the table choice, the server was rude. We left. Avoid this place.

    John, My name is Tommy Hartzog, Managing Partner. I have investigated the circumstances regarding your experience. I am just as disappointed that you did not have a good experience as you are. I will acknowledge that your reservation 13 min behind, the majority of the 47 min wait for your table was due to arriving 34 min early. Your table was in the front dining room. The back dining room was booked for a private dinner. Our reservation page expressly states for "specific seating requests... please call the restaurant... we will accommodate... based on availability." Please understand that no one was being rude, rather doing their best to explain that your request could not be fulfilled. Nothing happened outside of our standards. I still send my apology for not meeting your expectations.

    I booked the Black Rabbit before our trip to Nashville. It was a little bit of a walk from downtown but it was so worth it. The crabcake was excellent and the Trout was delish. Overall we had a great dining experience and highly recommend.

    That hill doesn't look so bad until you're halfway! Thank you for making the effort. :) I think the crab and trout will stick around for awhile. They are quickly becoming fan favorites. I am glad you enjoyed. Thank you for the feedback!

    Best meal we had in the city! All to the food was great. We were near the kitchen and saw all the other dishes coming out we didn't order and everything looked amazing
    Black RabbitResponded today
    Thank you for your reviews, Cam! A lot of people don't like to sit near the kitchen due to the noise, etc. I am glad you enjoyed your seats and appreciate the Best in The City accolades! Best Regards, Tommy Hartzog Managing Partner

    The food was definitely decent. The drinks were good enough. Our server was on top of it and I really liked the environment. However we went the night of a burlesque show. And I thought burlesque was more about art than a strip tease but it was not the best experience. I wouldn’t go again but it is worth the experience to go once.

    The food was amazing and so delicious. It was interesting to watch them churn out the food so quickly and efficiently in a small kitchen for the size of the restaurant.
