There are plenty of bars along the downtown Nashville strip, a ton of places with live music and good drinks or food, however, if you are looking for a unique experience head to FGL House. The four-story venue lives and breathes Florida Georgia Line. The duo opened the restaurant/bar earlier this year and fans from all over the world are walking through the doors to experience this one of a kind venue.

The walls are lined with memorabilia, certified records and even iconic outfits the duo has worn in the past. The rustic woodwork, incredible art and overall vibe of the atmosphere allow patrons to feel like they are hanging out at FGL’s home. Every level has a unique feel, there are even chandeliers made up entirely of wooden guitars.

The appropriately titled “Cruise” rooftop level offers an amazing view of downtown Nashville and is a great place to hear live music. If you are here for the food, the kitchen delivers some incredible appetizers and entrees’, created by the band’s very own tour chef. During our lunch at the venue, we were treated to the Bavarian Jumbo Pretzel with a special mustard aioli and queso blanco and the delicious Dirty Kettle Chips topped with smoked pulled pork, crispy bacon, chives, smoked cheddar queso and drenched in bbq sauce.

With so many options to choose from including Southern Fish Tacos to Shrimp and Grits, ultimately the New York Country Swag team decided on the Nashville Hot Chicken salad, dressed with a delicious cilantro ranch and the “No Joke Mac N’ Cheese” which has thick bacon, beer pulled chicken, smoked white and yellow cheddars, and cavatappi pasta.

If you are only visiting to enjoy some drinks, you must try out the FGL House signature cocktails. Check out our New York Country Swag Make-a-Long below to learn about three cocktails off their menu including “Tip It Back”, “Get Your Shine On” and “Party People”.

There are many things to love about the great city of Nashville and food is absolutely up there on the list. Of course, Nashville has plenty of BBQ joints that will fulfill any out of towners craving for delicious southern food, however, if you are looking for something different and equally as satisfying you MUST head to The Grilled Cheeserie. In the heart of Hillsboro Village, the establishment just opened their very first brick and mortar restaurant back in January. Previously, The Grilled Cheeserie Truck would travel to multiple locations around Nashville, feeding hungry tourists, patrons and artists alike. The famed truck was also featured on Food Network’s popular, “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” with Guy Fieri.

With their ever-changing specialty melt menu, featuring the above fall favorite, Harvest Melt, which has double cream brie, roasted free-range turkey, maple roasted squash, pumpkin seed pesto on multigrain bread, patrons can expect to try a something new each time they visit. One of our favorites to try was the Pimento Mac & Cheese that has housemade pimento cheese, local cheddar, macaroni, tomato and bacon bits on country white sourdough bread. They also offer the most delicious tomato soup, the perfect pairing for any grilled cheese sandwich.

Make sure to leave room for dessert. Our favorite was the Campfire S’more, toasted smoked sugar marshmallow, Nutella, salty honey graham crumble on brioche. The marshmallow is gooey and mixed with the Nutella, it is the perfect fall favorite sweet treat.

Don’t forget to stop by their milkshake bar on the way out, featuring delicious concoctions including the Caramel Apple Float, Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate and the Milkshake of the Moment -“Count Chocula Black & White”.

The food is delectable, the restaurant itself is clean, the staff is super friendly. New York Country Swag was happy to dine at The Grilled Cheeserie as a part of our New York Country Swag Takes Nashville trip earlier this month.
