The menu at The Asbury shines by focusing on quality and flavor-driven simplicity.

We are here from Iowa and dropped in for a quick cocktail and flat bread pizza. We were immediately greeted handed menus. Ordered two signature cocktails and their flat bread pizza. Absolutely loved everything about this place. Highly recommended. Ask for Nick he’s was excellent in everything he does.

The Asbury is literally the best place in Nashville. The staff is absolutely incredible, they could not have a more Taylor made staff. Jess was so personable and honest, I could not appreciate her more. Collin, Elliot, and Grayson are such a vibe. They are so considerate and knowledgeable they are so observant of empty drinks, thoughts, and entertainment. At one point my friend didn’t even like the music and they were open to her recommendations. Sangi, the head chef is so talented and thoughtful I can not thank him enough. All I can say is this staff and establishment has gone above and beyond for their guest and it truly shows. 10/10 would recommend the asbury!

Modern neighborhood bar that gives an authentic feel of Nashville. I stumbled in here as the place I intended to visit had a 2 hour wait. Food gets the job done of coating your stomach, nothing to write home about. The star for me was the cocktails, craft cocktails at reasonable prices. I'll definitely return when I’m back in the area

Asbury really delivers! The burgers are juicy and packed with flavor, and the drinks are just as impressive. Great spot for a casual night out with quality food and good vibes.

5 stars across the board. Love what Elliott and his team have done with this spot. Such a great atmosphere with a crew that welcomes you like an old friend. Don't sleep on the food, either!

It was a slow night when I went in but bartender was great and made me a really good off menu concoction. The sts burger was great. As someone from jersey, I have no idea what this place has to do with jersey, but none the less, it was a good experience and I would recommend it.

If you’re on a quest for the perfect bar seats, your search ends here. These bar seats aren’t just places to sit—they’re an experience. Imagine chairs so comfortable, it’s like they’re giving you a gentle hug, making you feel safe and embraced. From the moment you sit down, it’s like you’ve found your happy place. These seats are perfectly cushioned, with just the right balance of support and softness. They have a unique way of making you want to stay for hours, relaxing into the vibe of the bar while you enjoy your drink. You know those bar stools that are so uncomfortable you can’t wait to leave? These are the exact opposite. The design somehow encourages conversation and relaxation without any of the usual awkwardness of perching on a bar stool. It feels like the seat was made with comfort and coziness in mind, which is rare at most bars. If you’re looking for a spot that makes you feel at home while being out, this bar has nailed it with their seats. Easily the best bar seating experience ever. Don’t miss it—you’ll never want to leave!

Best new cocktail bar in Nashville! My friends and I stumbled upon The Asbury on a girls trip and couldn’t be happier we did. From the staff, to the delicious cocktails, and the best atmosphere we had so much fun. Great spot for groups or even a nice date night. Go see Patrick behind the bar for a perfect cocktail and stay for the good vibes!
