Editorial Review for Jackson's Bar & Bistro – by Andrew Kerr
In Short
Specialty teas and imported beer make an unlikely combination, but here, it works great together. Bloody marys are served alongside cookie-dough eggrolls, and there's also an extensive wine list to go along with a hearty breakfast. No matter what the combination, this place is a refreshingly unique hangout that wears several hats. In the evening, spacious outdoor patio is filled with friends and rounds of cocktails.

Insider Tips
Where to SitIndulge in some prime people-watching on the patio, and bring your dog: it's pet-friendly.
What to DrinkThe green apple martini is a hit, but other sugary libations include the Nantucket Sunset with vodka, cranberry juice and Chambord and the Midori margarita.

Jackson's is incredible. The food, the selection and menu items, the bar and servers, atmosphere, everything. This is our favorite place to go for lunch and dinner and we recently were blown away by the Sunday Brunch. When we lived in the area we were there every week dining and hanging out with friends. Since we have moved pretty far out, we still drive into town just to eat at Jackson's- its worth it. While we don't get to go as often as we used to, we go as often as possible and have never been let down. Its the best place in town to relax, enjoy the fantastic patio and 21st Avenue people watching- or just chill inside at the bar or at a table for a couple of drinks and some great food and indoor scenery like the local art placed on all the walls!
Pros: Location, Service, Menu and Quality of Food, Ambience
Cons: none

first let me say that the review by "beamonwheels" below is a JOKE. i mean.. and absolute JOKE. It is state law now in TN to card EVERYONE for alcohol. if being carded at a restaurant makes you so upset you leave and write a scathing 1 star review on citysearch, you didn't want to have a good evening anyway. as to the personal reasons for this i can't speculate. If you're interested in having some cocktails or beers outside with some friends in the summertime, this is a great place to go. It's hard to say whether Jackson's is primarily a bar or restaurant, as it's great for people seeking either one. Unlike most other bars there isn't loud music blaring all night. You can actually talk without yelling, which I must say is rare at a bar in Nashville. The food is also good if you know what to get. Some of the dishes haven't impressed me, but I always enjoy the pasta alfredeaux and the philly cheesesteak. For dessert the popular cookie dough eggrolls are good, but I actually enjoy the "gooey butter cake" just as much. If you're looking for a good place to hang out with friends and have a few drinks, or if you want a casual restaurant with some solid dishes, you'd do well to give this place a try.
Pros: good food, really good dessert, yazoo pale ale, outside patio, cocktail menu
Cons: a few of the dishes aren't very good, sometimes people have dogs on the patio (pets + food = health hazard)
