Party Fowl- the Gulch
719 8th Ave S Nashville, TN 37203
(615) 624-8255
I have been to the Gulch many times, and it’s one of my favorite places to eat in Nashville. They have so much fantastic food and such excellent service. The atmosphere is a little like a diner, but they always have fun things on the walls, and they also have a dog playing in the window, which makes you feel like you’re eating at home.
I like that a clutch is a place where you can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner because they have all three ready simultaneously. It’s a great place to meet with friends who come in from out of town or a place to spend time with your family. They are always busy, so it’s more of an experience than just eating at a restaurant.
The gorge has many options for all types of people. For example, they have a gluten-free menu, and they also have their version of an allergen menu to help you avoid allergens.
The staff here is always so lovely and helpful, so you never feel like you need to worry about the food or your bill. They also have a great drink selection with the best shots I’ve ever had.

You will have a 360 view of the Nashville skyline when you dine at Bourbon Steak. Their deeply satisfying dishes are paired with the perfect selection of wine. Market fresh salads and award-winning beef are very popular here. Their signatures include Maine lobster pot pie, brick chicken, rainbow trout, and hickory-smoked and pastrami-spiced beef short rib. Their grilled plates are a must-try as well. It won’t be a full experience until you sample their wine list. Eating with a view is exceptional, especially when the quality of the food matches. The ambiance they’ve created and the modern decorations bring everything together just perfectly.
