The Dogwood Nashville

"Came here last night with a group of friends. After waiting in line for nearly an hour, we finally got in. At first, everything was fine. Until about an hour after we got in, I walked downstairs to grab a drink from the bar. It was then that two employees grabbed me, forced me outside, and wouldn’t let me back in. I talked with some folks on the street who similarly said they had been thrown out for no other reason than that the employees wanted to make room for the new arrivals. Some sober friends I had come with came out and confirmed to the doorman that I nor anyone else had acted out, or done anything worthy of getting kicked out. He did not care however, and threw my friends out as well, again to make space for new arrivals. I have never encounter ruder workers at any bar I’ve ever been to, and I, nor any of my friends will ever be returning to Dogwood to waste our money on a single drink before being thrown to the curb on the whims of the doorman."

"Ok so I went to this place on Saturday to watch football, I drink there for about 4 hours. The issue here was when they brought my bill it was $165.00.. normally I just tip 20%+ and keep it moving. But it didn’t make sense, I was alone and drank Miller lite, how could it be $165.00?? So I asked for the itemized which they didn’t want to give me... They had put a bunch of random fees and added Gratuity. So I just let it be, didn’t complain, just made a mental note of it. However the bartender then got rude asking why I wasn’t adding a Tip. I mentioned, I planned on tipping you, but you just went ahead and did it anyways and made no mention and tried to get a double tip by not informing me… She insisted that I need to tip and sign the receipt. So at this point, I left and took the receipts with me. 2 days later and now there’s another 20% on top of the already 20% gratuity they took originally. Photos of receipts I kept. She took the itemized immediately after I looked at it and sat it back down. Seems like a trend here, will be going back to take this up with the manager, because clearly they’re blatantly committing fraud to several people."

"The dogwood is the perfect place for a great vibe. Tasty food, outdoor seating, live music, and they had some games (my friends and I played Jenga). I ordered the brisket burrito and it did not disappoint! It was delicious, 5/5 stars! I was expecting the fries to come on the side but they were actually inside of the burrito, how cool :)"

"The dogwood is a really cozy little bar that sits out of the crazy of Broadway, but still offers a vibrant and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend coming on a Sunday night to watch one of the Bolos and Booze writers rounds that is hosted by studio rats. While you’re at the dogwood make sure you give the quesadilla a try as it is a great dish."

"Great atmosphere & very good food! Don't expect a waiter/waitress to come to your table for an order, here you go to the bar and order your food yourself! Although we had very good service we were surprised to find we had to step up and order this way. Both indoor and outdoor dining available."
