Sports journalists Joe Dubin, Dawn Davenport and Joe Rexrode are among celeb tasters, but sports bars get shut out — and trendy restaurants dominate the scoreboard. Fall means football, and football means nachos, am I right? OK, I just wanted an excuse to eat bunches of nachos all around Nashville, and here’s what I found… Continue reading The 5 best nachos in Nashville

Here, Austin Ray reflects on Nashville’s beer evolution, discusses what goes into making a good list, and raises a pint to Nashville’s craft beer scene.

Nashville’s food scene is booming. There are new restaurants opening almost every week and long-time favorites that still deserve attention. While breakfast, brunch and dinner typically steal the spotlight, everyone needs a bite to eat at lunch time, too. Whether it’s a midday outing with a friend or a business meeting with a potential client, below are some of our… Continue reading Best Lunch Restaurants in Nashville

Do you ever have words you’ve only pronounced in your head, only to find out when you hear them that you’ve been wrong your entire life? For instance, I didn’t know until well into adulthood that “gelding” was pronounced with a hard “g.” And I had somehow defaulted to the British pronunciations of “patina” and… Continue reading 5 Nashville Restaurants That Make a Mean Milkshake

Homer Simpson said it best: “Mmm…beer.” And while we’d rarely turn down a bottle or can, there’s something special about a freshly poured draft. Here are 30+ bars in Nashville that offer 18 or more taps of delicious beer. M.L.Rose Neighborhoods: Melrose | Sylvan Park | Capitol View Number of beers on tap: Melrose: 34 Sylvan Park: 34 Capitol View:… Continue reading Best Bars for Draft Beer in Nashville

They have every flavor of craft beer you can possibly imagine, and that’s why M.L. Rose makes my list of Music City Musts! There are several reasons the restaurant could’ve made the list, I mean, have you tried their amazing food?! But it’s that famous “wall of craft beer fame” that makes me want to… Continue reading Wide-Ranging Beer Selection At M.L.Rose

Lest you think Nashville is just a hockey town because of our rabid fandom of our beloved Predators, Music City is a pretty strong soccer town, too! (Soccer? That’s the one that’s like hockey on grass, right?) Seriously, Nashville has hosted some huge crowds for international football matches and World Cup qualifiers in the past, and… Continue reading Where to Watch the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Nashville

Spring is technically here, and while the weather is trying to make its final turn, it’s time to start limbering up and getting prepared for a little friendly competition at your favorite restaurant or bar.

All that paleo dining got you feeling like clubbing somebody? Can’t quite reach the perfect state of ketogenesis without punching a wall? Or are you just coming off a three-day juice cleanse and therefore desperate for something to sink your teeth into?

On a hot summer afternoon in the back beer garden of the original M.L. Rose, decision makers from both the Eighth Avenue and Charlotte locations are drinking a lot of beers, an ounce or so at a time.

There’s no question that Nashville’s burger game is strong. Heck, even Thrillist’s National Burger Critic Kevin Alexander came through town on a greasy tour of some of our best patties and did a pretty darned good job at identifying some of the top spots (for a carpetbagger). 

Ray, whose A. Ray Hospitality portfolio also includes The Sutler Saloon, Melrose Billiard Parlor and the soon-to-open Von Elrod’s Beer Garden & Sausage House, has purchased an M.L.Rose food truck, which he hopes to roll out before the neighborhood bar’s third location opens in the Capitol View development later this year.

I have a friend who doesn’t like brunch. Naturally, we mock him and shun him on weekends, but I get it — he’s a boy, and before the #BrosWhoBrunch came to town with their flat-billed caps and BNA tank tops, brunch was a pretty girly ordeal. But in today’s Nashville, brunch knows no gender, so… Continue reading Nashville Brunch Beverage Finder

It’s patio season, and, whether you’re in search of a pint and a lawn game in The Nations or hoping for a place to put down your picnic spread outside of town, here’s our guide to making the most of this all-too-short window of outdoor opportunity. WEST NASHVILLE M.L.Rose Craft Beer & Burgers Rest alongside… Continue reading Nashville’s Best Patios for a Drink

M.L.Rose is a great spot to watch the game and meet some pals for a drink. We’d recommend the sweet potato fries and one of their creative burger options. Grab a pint of beer and head on over where both the young and old hang out. There’s no judgment, here – and no reservations.

Nashville favorite M.L.Rose Craft Beer & Burgers is bringing its popular sweet potato buns, signature waffle fries and extensive craft beer menu to the Gulch this year.

Nashville has become a city full of culinary talent providing locals with amazing restaurants. While dinner often steals the spotlight, we are highlighting the Best Nashville Brunch Spots! We define the best brunch spots based on menus, originality, and atmosphere. All of the following restaurants are locally owned and operated!

The sweetness of the sweet potato bun on M.L. Rose’s NashVegas Burger is a welcomed complement to the barbecue sauce, rich pimiento cheese and crispy tobacco onions that top this craft burger. M.L. Rose does not have a shortage of burger options but this one is a stand-out, as it’s served on something other than… Continue reading 25 Pretty Excellent Burgers in Nashville

M.L. Rose has two locations — one in West Nashville (pictures on the left) and one in the Melrose neighborhood (pictured on the right). Both locations have large patios with giant Jenga for entertainment and fire pits for ambience and warmth. The Melrose location is mostly covered, while the West location is mostly uncovered.\r\n

Both the Charlotte Avenue and Melrose locations offer giant Jenga, but the West Nashville spot gets the nod with its large front yard space and outdoor dart boards, making it an ideal spot to grab a beer, a burger and a good hang.

M.L.Rose Craft Beer and Burgers is well-known for, well … craft beer and burgers. So when it came time to come up with their May Burger of the Month, it figures that owner Austin Ray would reach out to his friends at Jackalope to actually create a special beer for both locations of the restaurant… Continue reading M.L.Rose & Jackalope Team Up for a Collaboration Brew

M.L. Rose has two locations one on Franklin Road and the other is off of Charlotte Pike! They are known for their wide selection of craft beers and have the best burgers! Both offer awesome patios but I think my favorite is going to be the one on Franklin Rd. They just expanded it and… Continue reading 18 of the Best Patios in Nashville!
