Black Tap is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I had the black truffle burger, which was perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The highlight, though, was their famous crazy shakes—decadent, over-the-top desserts that are as fun as they are tasty. Whether you're looking for great food or a fun experience, Black Tap delivers on both. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Noelle for our wedding, and we were so happy with our experience. From the initial contact, the team was open, responsive, and easy to communicate with. They answered all of our questions promptly and helped us (with our wedding planner) envision how our wedding would look in their beautiful, refined space. The venue was classic and elegant - the perfect backdrop for our special moments. Noelle's staff worked hard to ensure everything ran smoothly so we could relax and focus on celebrating with our loved ones. For couples seeking a venue with great communication, quality, and value, we highly recommend Noelle. Our only complaint was the temperature in the event space (HOT!) but it was August in TN in an older building, so relatively expected.

I photographed a wedding at Nicky's Coal Fired The Maxwell Room for the first time this July. I have eaten at the restaurant before but all of my expectations were exceeded for how they were able to host & accommodate a wedding reception. The team was incredibly helpful, kind, and communicative with both myself and the other vendors. The venue has a unique and intimate feel that's a perfect option within the city of Nashville without your guest having to Uber/travel far from downtown. The food was the best wedding food I have ever had, and the bar options for guests were high-class, going well beyond the typical beer and wine offerings. I cannot wait to work at Nicky's again!
