About this restaurant

Charming
Great for happy hour
Innovative

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 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.

Went on birthday celebration. Drinks great. The interior great. But the food-wow it was so bad. 4 dishes ordered-2 fish dishes and two elk dishes. The cook was totally off. One elk cooked some what right the other totally over done. The fish- one cooked right and one raw. Sent the fish back and the second dish came back raw. By the time the third dish came back we had all finished our meal. Sides-the squash in the squash risotto wasn’t cooked enough. The mushrooms weren’t cooked. They have problems with consistency that must be addressed for the to be successful. Also when presenting them with these problems the owner seemed like she didn’t want to hear the issues and even through our whole experience was honestly pretty terrible she only offering offered to comp the fish dish.
