The District Bar & Kitchen

Ok food weak service. Not a place you have to go especially if your hungry. Not cheap

I stayed at Hotel Indigo for three nights. We ate at the District for breakfast one morning. I had the breakfast panini and it was very good. During the day there is only one server and bartender. He was very busy. Very helpful and attentive. Good service. For lunch I had the chicken salad croissant. Normally I hate croissants but this was very good. Very flavorful.

I was staying at the hotel and came downstairs to go out for dinner and herd some good live music so I decided to walk in and have dinner.
The bartender came right over to take my drink order, when I asked him for a wine list he brought it right over and gave me an excellent suggestion.

Stayed at the hotel. Inside the hotel, there was a restaurant called District. I didn’t eat the food other than breakfast for the a conference. Can’t go wrong with breakfast. If you do, the restaurant should not be opened.
They had live band playing almost every night. Pretty talented folks. But while the music was loud, there was football games coming on as well.
The service was less than a service. I literally sat at the bar watching the game when the bartender came to me after 5 – 10 minutes later to take my order. If the bartender was taking orders for drinks, I’m ok with that. He was doing something. Nope. He was busy talking. He kept talking so more. And then he talked so more.
The ambience was nice. It’s more of a romantic setting, but it was also a hangout with large group atmosphere. It wasn’t too dark but had enough lighting.

Wouldn’t come. There are others places in downtown that’s worth walking to than staying in the hotel.

It was mostly empty when I arrived. Regardless, I had to sit at the bar to get service. The food was subpar, but the live music was excellent and the crowd was friendly.

I went because I heard their burgers were awesome, but it was too expensive for lunch. the friendly bartender suggested the chicken quesadilla when I said I wasn’t going to order the burger. I am not sorry I tried it! the quesadilla is full of fresh ingredients and lots of chicken. I had to take part of it back to the office! I liked the atmosphere, it was really open and I could see it being a nice place to host an event. I will return, it just isn’t tops on my list.

5stars may be a lot for room service, but the experience far exceeded my expectations. I’m staying in the Indigo and decided to room service from the District in order to watch the Dem debate in my room. Service was great — friendly and helpful on the phone and my food arrived in 20 minutes from the call. I ordered the artisanal berry salad which was huge and full of fresh raspberries and blueberries, crumbled blue cheese and handfuls of toasted, sweetened pecans over very fresh mixed greens with a raspberry vinaigrette. This salad rocked!
I ordered the nachos that had a fresh tasting chili, white queso and lots of fresh veg — lettuce tomato and fresh jalapeños with a little shredded cheese sprinkled over. It was good but I only had about half after the amazing salad.
Lastly, I couldn’t resist ordering the cast iron cookie. This was a warm chocolate chunk cookie in a tiny cast iron pan paired with a bowl of vanilla ice cream (good stuff) and fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Wow! What an unexpectedly wonderful meal. It was so good I ate too much which is my only complaint.

Food was barely ok and the service was even less. Literally sat in the bar for a good 15 minutes before the order was taken. If you want people to stay in the hotel instead of going out to explore and see the huge range of option in Nashville, then you have to try and serve them (and that means having enough folks working to do that). Cute spot with a lot of potential, but just not being utilized like it needs to be…

It was pretty empty when I arrived so I had some reservations. However, the waiter/​bartender was very prompt and attentive. I ordered the ribeye and it was good. I wouldn’t say it was the best I ever tasted but it was cooked to the appropriate temperature and had a good flavor. I ordered the calamari appetizer and it was very good.
The singer was Mandy Cook and she was fantastic. I had to order both albums off Itunes after leaving.
My experience was positive so I’ll probably try the hotel next time I come to Nashville.

Great place to come and enjoy drinks and music. Drinks were great and the music as good as well.

My old fashioned was made using sugar packets. It was also a tad empty for a Thursday night. Wasn’t particularly impressed.

This review is solely for the drinks/​live music.
My friend and I stayed in this hotel thinking it was a good deal out of all the other downtown locations. We figured we would walk someplace to experience Nashville and get our live music fix.
After a long day of driving through Kentucky, stopping to visit friends, caves, and dinner along the way, we were tired. The rainy evening wasn’t enticing us out onto the streets either, so we figured we would just go down stairs instead.
And I’m glad we did.
We sat at a booth in the back and enjoyed drinks and the live music. It was quiet and low-​key — the prefect end to a long evening.
Our waiter was great, and the bartenders did a fantastic job with the drinks. The feel of this place is relaxed and yet upscale at the same time. I felt very comfortable there and I’m not typically a go-​out-​on-​the-​town kind of girl, so it was good for me. And I didn’t have to worry about walking back to the hotel late at night after a few drinks from some other place further away.
I would definitely come back!

First of all, love this hotel. Stay here when in town if you can.
Had breakfast here on two occasions. Had buckwheat pancakes the first time. I think they might have brought just buttermilk pancakes, but they were good nonetheless. The second time I had the steel cut oatmeal. Fantastic. Loved the berries that came with it. All around quality at a great price. I’d love to try dinner here. The menu looks great!
There is live music at night. The restaurant itself is beautiful. A great atmosphere.

Wow! What a great find in downtown Nashville. I happened upon this place by accident, and I’m glad I did! The District has a fabulous bartending staff! They are attentive and friendly, but most importantly they make BALLER drinks. The District had a great wine selection and when I was there, I heard some awesome musicians. Anyway, I think I spent like $ 65 or something on 4 or 5 drinks and an app. It wasn’t bad, and I thought it was worth the price.
