Top 18 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Downtown Nashville

Heather Neuman

Food was amazing. Great atmosphere, rapid service. We dined in. I do not recommend if Gluten Free for actual allergy as I did get ill shortly after leaving as I do with cross contamination. They are spot on with gluten friendly.

I ordered a full rack. I was disappointed in the sams club sides, no scratch items like greens. The ribs were good, nothing exceptional, slightly over cooked. Super risky for gluten free here. Lots of better bbq in town.

My boyfriend and I are both celiac. We went back three times on our week long trip to have the gluten free pizza and Cloud 9 wings. Nef is the best bartender and even showed us the ingredient list for the pizza dough incase it interfered with another allergy of mine

Our visit was wonderful! We were walking around and spotted etch (which I had read about online), so walked in and took a spot at the community table in the front of the restaurant. Josh provided excellent service, all while tending bar nearby. We shared the delicious Roasted Cauliflower as an appetizer, along with amazing gluten free rolls! I had the scallops and my husband had the filet. I had the pavlova for dessert, and my husband had pumpkin spice ice cream. All dishes were beautifully presented and SO delicious! The community table wound up being just us, which was awesome! We were on the early side. Thanks for helping us celebrate our 40th anniversary. It was a perfect experience!

THE BEST CORN TORTILLA I’VE HAD IN MY LIFE. Didn’t break or fall apart, delicious flavor. Got the jalapeño pineapple marg and the carne asada street tacos at the recommendation of our server, who was so accommodating with my gluten allergy.

Many good options. We found celiac friendly options. The atmosphere was similar to an Asian style Hawker market, but much less haggard.

Besides the food and margaritas being absolutely amazing, we were in awe of the amazing staff. Our server Jeff was beyond kind, explained the menu to us, helped us with gluten free and nut free options, and had fun with us! Overall experience was 10/10 and will absolutely be going back. If you have a 6+ people the shareable meal option was more than enough food and delicious.

Great place! Fantastic menu, great for gluten free choices. Prices match the quality and the service was great. Definitely give this place a visit.

Great place to eat. Gluten-free is always a challenge but we found a few things on the menu to make it work.

I have Celiacs, so I got a classic burger with gluten free bun and side salad. I wanted tater tots, but when I asked if fries and tots have a dedicated fryer, the server informed me everything is fried in the same oil. So no tots for me. The sprite I ordered tasted disgusting. The syrup must have been running out. Server brought me a drink "from the back" it was much better. However when she brought another refill she must have forgot and I got the disgusting sprite again. Order was not correct. I watched the server put the order in correctly. Burger did not have cheese and salad had tomatoes. Specifically asked for cheese on my burger and no tomatoes in the salad. At least they got the gluten free bun correct. Manager was at the next table and he saw me not eating my food. I was waiting for our server. He asked if there was anything wrong. He gave me my meal for free and had my order redone. Burger was just ok. Service was mediocre. Server was fine but was more attentive to the bigger parties which I get. Server was knowledgeable about how food was prepared but was not very knowledgeable about what foods on the menu were gluten free. Luckily the food I did eat did not cause any issues. However, I will not be going back.

Ashlea was such an amzing server. Lovely personality. Food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. And their gluten free menu was very accommodating and gave many options.

Your server, Nira, was wonderful! I can only eat gluten free and she went out of her way to help me find something good to eat. Our orders were right (even though she didn’t need to write it down!) and drinks were good! Thanks Nira for the great service and making it fun!

Megan Pfaff

Zero stars. My friend and I both have celiac disease. The menu has gluten free items marked and servers who ask about allergies. We thought it was safe. After ordering her tacos and taking some bites she questioned the tortillas and the fish. After questioning, we were told the menu was wrongly printed and her tortilla and fish were not gluten free as stated. It’s incorrect on their online menu too. Terrible experience and she suffered terribly. Allergies need to be taken more seriously.

Margaret Johnson

Delicious. Excellent service. Wonderful gluten sensitive options!

Alexi James

Jessica was the best server! We waited at the bar for a few minutes while our table was getting cleaned. Dinner was amazing, service was amazing, and we really enjoyed our dessert. Our server, Jessica, was sensitive to my husband’s gluten allergy. She let us know all the menu options that were available to him and all the ones that could be available to him with adjustments. We LOVED The Magi live music group!! We will definitely be back!

I came in a few days ago with a group of friends for a birthday. We were sat with Trey. From the start he was a vibrate human who took care of everyone's needs. I appreciated that he asked if there were any allergy concerns as my friend has celiac. He was able to put together food options for her. He also recommended a beautiful bottle of Chardonnay to go with all of our meals. Bethany the restaurant manager stopped by our table to wish us a Happy Birthday and to make sure our time and service was exceptional. As a local -- this place is somewhere I would absolutely return. Trey also let us know about their happy hour specials they offer. As someone who likes a good cocktail & oyster selection, it was much appreciated. Thank you everyone!!!

Great atmosphere and music. I came on a Sunday evening with my boyfriend without a reservation. The tables were fill but there was room at the bar and this was the best choice anyway. The bartenders were helpful and friendly as were the other guests seated around us. To start, we shared the beef carpaccio. It was both of our first times having that so I have nothing to compare it to but it was good. For mains, I had the beef short rib which was good but nothing that blew me away. He had the prime rib, which again, was a very good piece of meat but just a typical prime rib. We shared the bacon Brussels sprouts on the side which were tasty and sweet but could have been crispier. I had a taste of the rack of lamb and it was a delicious main as well. We didn’t order any cocktails but I wish we had since they looked absolutely delicious. There was a 3-person jazz band playing throughout our time there and they were groovy but emotionless and lacking stage presence. Was more of a background vibe. They were very accommodating for gluten free, so if you are someone who doesn’t eat gluten then this is a great option. I felt very safe.
