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)
