Broadway Brewhouse - Nashville TN * * * *

Amie and I went to Nashville TN. and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park back in October for my birthday. The Broadway Brewhouse and Mojo was a bar we randomly picked from the hundred bars that are on Broadway in Nashville. If you haven't been to Nashville they have a strip of bars and restaurants that is very busy and also historic. A lot of country music stars got their first gigs in those bars. If you like country music and bar hopping this is your heaven. The neon sign I included with this post is the sign outside their bar you can see from the street.

I am writing about the Brewhouse for two reasons. One because they have 72 beers on tap which is incredible to find especially randomly. Two because it was a cool bar we enjoyed. We found out they had 72 beers on tap only after appreciating a couple Blue moon, which was one of the few beers we saw they had at the second bar which is actually the closest bar to the door and seemed most inviting. The couple next to us educated us on the large selection they had available. This is why you should always ask what they have on tap not just assume. It was a site to see to bad the pictures did not take well. It was basically a very long wall full of taps. One of the pictures I included on this post is from our seats looking out from the bar to the street. It was an open air front and we got to see all kinds of action. From the interesting selection of people, to the multiple bachelor and bachelorette parties. To the police interviewing a man that looked like he had been in a fight. They had this what I would believe to be very unique wall painting of a Blue Mood bottle which I included in the post as well.

We enjoyed a lot of good beer and met some new people. The couple that sat to our left the man wore a Jack Daniels hat and t-shirt he was a fan of Jack Daniels, Beer, and Colorado if I recall that is where they were from. The guy to our right was with his 7 other buddies that were part of a Bachelor party. The guy that sat next to me was a up beat but the rest of the party was the most depressing looking bachelor party I have ever seen. Looked more like a wake not a bachelor party. I think part of the reason the guy to my right took them "accidently" to a gay bar before they went to the Brewhouse. The bachelor was pissed because his buddy wasn't doing a very good job organizing the party.

The bar tender was good about having the drinks flowing but that was about it. I enjoy when bar tenders inform us interesting little tidbits like we have 72 beers on tap. I know we are also to blame for not asking or investigating but 72 beers is something to brag about. There was little to no conversation no fun, just serve drinks and take our food order. I like interactive bar tenders, that serve beer and are entertaining. They are a rare breed, a master of their craft and they earn every penny of their tips. Overall it was 4 out of 5 stars for the bar. Not 5 stars because of the bartender.
