Germantown

Eat And Drink

Monell’s

Operating out of a refurbished Victorian home, Monell’s is not your typical meat-and-three, but more like Sunday dinner at Grandma’s house. Meals there are served that way, around communal tables with big bowls of fried chicken, pot roast, mashed potatoes, green beans, cornbread and more.

Von Elrod’s Beer Hall & Kitchen

Given Von Elrod’s menu of artisan sausages and sandwiches plus a darn fine cheeseburger, the idea of enjoying the midday meal at this spot — accompanied by one of its vast array of craft beers in the convivial atmosphere of a breezy biergarten and expansive patio — is a no-brainer.

City House

The Cupcake Collection

Germantown Pub

With plenty of drink specials and a classic bar-food menu, the neighborly vibes at Germantown Pub encourage you to relax and take a load off. Check out the brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays, and sip bloody Marys while you watch the game.

SCENE TIP:

Tucked away just north of the Tennessee State Capitol, the gridded streets of Germantown — so named because of early German immigrants who settled in the neighborhood and brought brewing and meatpacking to Nashville — offer some of the city’s most beloved restaurants. The new Tennessee State Museum shares a block with Bicentennial Mall State Park and the Nashville Farmers’ Market, with the minor league Nashville Sounds tossing around the old horsehide at nearby First Horizon Park. The park stands where Sulphur Dell once did, hosting baseball from the Reconstruction until the 1960s (and has again since 2015), but long before that was home of an impressive 12thcentury saltworks operated by the Mississppian peoples who once populated the Cumberland River Valley.
