May be in the nature category, but this is a hybrid of daytime dance and drinks, mixed with the best views of the Cumberland River and downtown Nashville. Have no fear, it's a well-run operation. BYOB is a major perk, bring what ya want and they'll put it on ice.

This is why we love Nashville. Visit Big Al's to have a giant, non-diet approved skillet cooked breakfast by Big Al himself. Tip the waitresses, they're sweethearts. And say hey to Big Al!
It is SMALL so if you show with a large group prepare to wait. Check hours before you go, they sometimes close just because they feel like it.
