Boscos Nashville Brewing Co

Best beer in Nashville more

I have been to Boscos several times, typically to drink their beer which I think is pretty good. Had a friend want me to meet him for Sunday Brunch. I had a Blood Mary and Shrimp & Grits. Now I have had Shrimp in Grits at many places, regardless of whether it is low country or more cajun style, it has always been shrimp in a tomato based sauce over the grits. This version had no sauce, just 6 30-45 count (small) shrimp pan sauteed in spices over about 8oz of grits. It was a PATHETIC presentation. Overpriced at $15 and barely enough to fill up a 6 year old. I basically thought it was laughable. And they brought no bread. When I asked for bread, they brought cold french bread and no butter or olive oil or anything to put on it. Again, my only word is pathetic. It was a Bad interpretation, it was overpriced, and I was underserved. more

My family loves this restaurant. We don't even drink beer! (I prefer the wine). The food is consistently good. Never had a bad meal there. Our favs - club sandwich, blackened grouper sandwich (amazing), pizza (all are great, fresh, creative), burgers. My husband and I come by ourselves and bring kids, or meet friends. It's busy and exciting to go there, but not too loud to talk. Big booths, nice bar and louge area, great staff. I LOVE THIS PLACE! more

Bosco's is great. Great beer, good food. Have been going there over 15 years! Love it :) more

Went there for first time with family. A family member took us. Friendly service. Quick to be seated and food was fast. Beer was very good. Oveall a nice solid place but nothing too wowing. Just your typical brew place, but the food is probably a bit better than some other brew places. Pros: Good decent food Cons: No cons, just a solid place nothing wowing more

I'm a huge Boscos fan, although I usually go to the Franklin location, now that it's closer. When I lived near Hillsboro, I was there 3-4 times a week. The beer is always great. The Flaming Stone is unique (although not my taste), the IPA is fantastic (and even better in the cask), and the dark beers are always great: Isle of Skye, London Porter, Schwarzbier. The food, however, is merely OK. The pizzas are a nice complement to the beer, and should be only considered bar food. I wouldn't consider Boscos for a romantic night out for an entree. They do upper-scale bar food, but lower-scale entrees. Stick to the pizzas and the sandwiches and you'll be fine. The portabella club is great, and the ribeye sandwich is superb. The salads are pretty good too. On the flip side, the tamale is a turd, as is the calzone. Most of the appetizers are very good, with the exception of the spinach dip. It used to be the best spinach artichoke dip I'd ever eaten, but they changed the recipe about 2004, and now it tastes like spinach dishwater. Bottom line: go for the beers and the small dishes. Don't go for a company dinner or a romantic night out. On a side note: I wish they'd fill growlers. I'd ONLY buy Boscos beer if they did. Frankly, I don't think it would hurt the business either. I'd still go there for the atmosphere, the food and the beer. Pros: Fantastic local brewed beer Cons: Contantly changing recipes on sucessful dishes more

My wife and I went to Boscos on Saturday afternoon after the game for a quick bite to eat. I believe it was the manager on duty who actually sat us and she was extremly pleasant. Our server a tall young man with a shaved head was great!!!! He told us his name but I have forgotten. My wife was unclear about a wine choice and after speaking with the young woman with long brown hair, she received a taste of two in order to decide. My wife also has an alergy and the young woman managing again came back out to our table and guided her through the menu and the preparation and cooking of each item she was thinking of ordering. The manager actually dropped off our order herself and came back to make sure my wife was okay. By far the best service we have seen in Nahsville. We love Boscos! Pros: service and management are great Cons: noise more

I used to go here a lot because my co-workers always want to go, but I go reluctantly. For the price I'm paying, I don't get enough food. And there is always strange ingredients in the food. The muffaletta has carrots (?), too many olives, and the meat to bread ratio shows bread the clear winner. I had the grilled cheese lunch special yesterday. There was so much gorgonzola (ick) that I couldn't even finish it. Their pizza is lacking in amount, I get more with a frozen pizza for $1.00. Finally, the service is horrible in the bar area. Expect your server to ignore you from the minute you walk in. Sorry Bosco's, I've given you plenty of chances for redemption, and I always leave completely disappointed that I just spent $8 on unappetizing food. Pros: beer Cons: weird ingredients, bad service more

I truly enjoyed my experience at Boscos. The food was great! I had the fiesta style shrimp pizza for my entree, and we shared the ahi tuna tacos as an appetizer. My boyfriend had a buffalo chicken pizza which was also quite good. We started out with the beer sampler so we could decide which was best! Bosos is in a beautiful building (the bathroom is nice, too) and is good for larger groups as the booths are enormous. I recommend this for a first date place or just an after work get together. They have trivia and drink specials during the week as well. Pros: very good food, good service, good prices Cons: parking in that area is sometimes challenging more

First time customer of Boscos in the Village. We came in due to long wait at other restaurants in village we will be back for not only brunch but for dinner and lunch as well. Great atmosphere and staff seemed to have fun while they were working. more

I just wanted to take the time to advocate how much I still enjoy visiting Boscos in the Village. I too am a regular and have yet to experience any dissatisfaction from my service to the management staff. I am always greeted with a friendly face and hello and continue to have pleasant conversations with not only the bar staff, but also the management staff. As someone who use to be in the hospitality industry I know the strife and unpredictability that comes with seasonal and temporary employment. I feel that Boscos goes above and beyond to continue their strong reputation of the friendly pub around the corner. Most employees know me by name as does the management staff. The food is great, the beer is terrific and the service is stellar. Keep doing what you are doing. more

I have been a regular at boscos for probably four years now and i have never seen this restaurant at such a low. The attitude by servers seems to be so negative and there is a constant flux of new faces which makes it hard to walk in and feel welcome. I hear rumors of threats constantly coming down from management which seems to evoke a dark cloud upon the place and people are quitting or getting fired left and right. I overheard one of the bartenders get chewed out over something insignificant and was appalIed by the way they were talked to. I hope something is being done to correct this. My viewpoint is shared by many other regular patrons and if this keeps up we wont be very regular any more. Pros: Great bar service and beer Cons: Poor management and high turnover. Service in dining area is poor at best. more

we watched and overheard a manager chew out our server over something that was clearly a matter not related to the business of serving her tables, we asked the server if that was normal and she replied that it was just how the manager did things, and that she was quitting after her shift. it was very awkward. our service was fine, but the food quality lacked for the price we paid; the beer was excellent as always. we used to come here a lot, but the staff has changed and the atmosphere has lost its feel of a friendly neighborhood pub. we used to be able to come in for a beer or a snack and chat it up, but now it has the feel of a mcdonald's. no personality, no hospitality, and after what we witnessed last week, no direction. Pros: beer Cons: lost the feeling of a friendly pub and turned into a cash gouger more

When I first moved to Nashville 4 years ago, I was a regular here. The beer is fantastic, and I frequently had happy hour drinks and then stayed for dinner; they have one of the best veggie burgers in town. Over the past year or so, though, service in the bar area has begun to decline. At first I thought it was a fluke, but it's happened so many times now that I've stopped going and stopped inviting groups of friends. At times it would take 15-30 minutes for our server to check in with us or refill empty beers when we requested; worse, when we would try to pay our tab to leave, it might take up to 45 minutes. It made me understand why some people just walk out! What happened, Bosco's? You used to be so reliable! Pros: Isle of Skye, vegetarian burgers, happy hour Cons: increasingly slow service, parking more

Probably one of the best cups of coffee to be had this side of the Rockie Mountains. There is a lot for the southern sugar loving person to like also. They are well stocked with latte mocha flavorings and stuff to make a coffee a dessert in a cup. They also know their clientelle and refuse to lower their standards for a good cup of coffee. They have dark mellow roasts as well as a good French roast that works pretty well for your own espressos at home. Get a cup and take a pound home. more

I arrived early and warned them of our 16+ group coming in for a 2 hour happy hour. They were very accomodating. The waiter came back numerous times to check on us and did very well keeping everything straight, a hard job considering many of the married couples were not sitting with their spouse, but wanted to be on the same ticket. Several people ate pizza and raved about it. Great beer selection and nice wine selection. Pros: atmosphere Cons: parking more

Boscos Leads the No-Smoking Charge in Tennessee\r \r \r Restaurant Announces Weeklong ?Trash Your Ashtray? Fundraising Promotion \r in Nashville to Kick Off Its Ban on Smoking\r \r Governor Phil Bredesen signed the ?Non-Smoker Protection Act,? banning smoking in the majority of public places in Tennessee, including restaurants and bars. The law will go into effect on Monday, October 1, 2007.\r \r However, Tennessee-based Boscos, which operates successful eateries / brewpubs in Nashville and Memphis, will formally eliminate smoking inside its restaurants more than two months earlier, beginning Monday, July 16. \r \r To kick off its smoking ban, Boscos will sponsor a weeklong promotion (July 16 - July 22) at both locations called ?Trash Your Ashtray,? whereby the company will donate one dollar to the American Lung Association of Tennessee for every ashtray that customers drop off at either of the two locations. Participants will be required to present the ashtrays either to the manager, host / hostess, waiter / waitress or bartender. (Limit one ashtray per customer.) Each restaurant will have a prominent ?Trash Your Ashtray? receptacle to collect the donations.\r \r In addition, the weeklong event also will include an award for the most unique / creative ashtray brought to each restaurant. The two winners will receive $100 Boscos gift certificates. \r \r To ensure that the fundraising component gets off to a solid start, Boscos will ?trash? all of the ashtrays currently in use at its restaurants, and guarantee a minimum donation of $1,000 to the American Lung Association of Tennessee.\r \r For more information on the promotion, please contact:\r Chris Kizer: (615) 385-0050, 1805 21st Avenue S., Nashville, TN 37212\r \r ### more
