What People Are Saying About Tribe

In Short – A huge, rectangular bar is the centerpiece for this stylishly appointed venue, an instant hit with both the alternative-lifestyle set and trendy professionals. Large monitors pump a steady rotation of Madonna, Kylie and other pop divas, though at a volume that promotes conversation. The second level, filled with couches and cocktail tables, affords a secluded mingling spot. A roomy, upscale and largely soundproof restaurant resides off the small cement dance floor, behind big black doors.

great place for a ok time

Tribe has really changed since i last been there. it is really peaceful. Not Peaceful like an old age home like the the trax,but just a get away from the drama filled bubble gum babies next door. The bartenders are nice and the people whom go there are just all trying to have a good time. Furthermore, wednesday is dollar wells,so it very inexspensive to get a good buzz.However, wear good shoes cause u will be standing at the bar for a while waiting for your drinks.But I warn you to not order from that blond bartender,I order a blue valium and he poured a glass of water and put some blue food colouring in it. Least thats what it tasted like.
- Pros: wednesdays and thursdays
- Cons: long waits,and blue water

Great Atmosphere, Great People

This is by far one of my favorite places in Nashville. It is a "gay bar" but that doesn't mean that you have to be gay to go in and enjoy yourself. It is very casual, yet quite upscale at the same time. Even the smokers are not relegated to freezing in some outside corner. The staff is very good (Brandon is a great waiter) and the drinks are great (check out TJ, he makes some of the best!). I highly recommend Tribe for meeting some people and having a good evening out.
- Pros: great ambience, great service, good people
- Cons: parking can be hard to find

Could Be Much More

I don't normally do the bar/club scene but I was in town for the night and thought what the hell...the weather was nice and it was within walking distance (for me)...
Tribe is a nicely decorated place and best of all it was NON-SMOKING...something I surely wasn't expecting at a gay bar...
However...I didn't find the bartenders or crowd all that friendly...outside of the nasty old man that followed me into the restroom...I don't expect bartenders to fawn over customers, but it wasn't crowded and I was basically ignored for 5-10 minutes before I was asked what I would like to drink...
The music was way too loud for the number of people in the bar and I didn't recognize any of the videos or music outside of "like a virgin" and that spectacle of Britney Spears on that recent awards show...but then again, I don't go to bars, nor do I listen to pop/hip-hop/rap music...
All in all...on my next visit to Nashville, if I go out...it won't be to this establishment.
- Pros: Non-Smoking
- Cons: Too Loud, Service Marginal
