Additional details were few, but the 2,245-square-foot building was to be a 119-seat restaurant and bar with a trolley bar as the focal point. Germantown Bar.īack in November, the now dormant NOBLE Nashville news and community site first reported that a structure across the street from Steadfast Coffee was being built around an old trolley car. And one, featuring a trolley as its centerpiece, has been given the rather uninventive name. (5/12/17): Several new bar projects look to be well underway at a prime Germantown property located at 1318 6th Avenue N. An opening date for the complex has still not been announced. Speaking with The Tennessean, general manager Brandwyd Allen reveals that there will be a Southern/American-inspired restaurant called Black Forest Lodge a laid-back watering hole called Schultz Saloon and the previously mentioned trolley-themed bar called (still uncreatively) Nashville Historic Trolley Bar. And as it turns out, Germantown Bar is actually the name of the overall project, not one of the concepts. “Our ultimate focus, obviously, is service driven,” Allen said.UPDATED (6/6/17) : More details are out today regarding this somewhat mysterious project. Regarding price point, Allen said they want it to be “affordable and of good value in guests’ eyes.” They want Germantown Bar to be approachable for all types of Nashville residents, not just those living in high-end housing in the neighborhood. On the other end of the property, Schultz Saloon will have a full-service bar, 36 craft brews on tap, wine and bar food such as brats, wings and sandwiches.Īt the trolley bar, customers can order food from either the saloon or the lodge. Monday through Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant will have a full service liquor bar with an extensive bourbon and whiskey collection, higher-end wine and craft beer. “Don’t count calories,” joked Allen, who spent 14 years working with Flying Saucer in three different states. Menu items might include filet, pasta, fish, mashed potatoes and greens. She described the menu at Black Forest Lodge as comfort food with southern American influences. Allen said the trolley bar will be open-air when the weather permits. Newcomers to the neighborhood’s restaurant scene include Miranda Pontes’ casual Southern California-inspired eatery, Lulu, and the much-anticipated Von Elrod’s Garden & Sausage House by Austin Ray and chef Jason Brumm.Ĭonstruction started on Germantown Bar roughly a year ago, including bringing an old trolley car on-site and constructing a building around it. But neighborhood residents and employees working in the area have lamented the lack of casual restaurants for an affordable lunch and late-night drinking spots. Germantown is already known for its exceptional dining scene, with heavy hitters such as City House, Rolf & Daughters, 5th & Taylor and Germantown Café. But if anybody wants to get away from that and have something a little quieter, they can go hang out at the lodge.” Trolley, I view it as something that’s so much fun and sought after because it’s so unique and it’s interesting and it’s going to be a big party atmosphere. That’s where people are going to go and have great craft beer, perhaps a good selection of bourbon or whiskey and order wings or pizza,” Allen said. Once IDs are checked at the main entrance, guests can hop around between the Southern/American-inspired restaurant, Black Forest Lodge the neighborhood watering hole with bar food, Schultz Saloon and the trolley-themed bar with outdoor cabanas, Nashville Historic Trolley Bar. Three-in-Oneįrom the sounds of it, Germantown Bar will be unlike any other Nashville bar/restaurant experience. Two Nashville businessmen have big plans to boost the dining scene in Germantown with a restaurant, late-night watering hole and a bar built around a trolley car, all on the same property in the trendy neighborhood.īrad Daniel and Ward Pace are working with restaurant industry veteran Brandwyd Allen as general manager to open Germantown Bar - the umbrella name for the three concepts - this summer at 1318 6th Ave.
