Tribe — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

This is a little delayed from a visit on 8/11/23. We visited Tribe before the early show at play. My friend was visiting from out of town so this was a surprise for him. First half of the suprise was a complete bust. It shows our tab was closed at 8:21pm and we probably got there around 7pm. In the waiter section, it says 52X-MAS so I do not know the bartenders real name. It was early, so it was not crowded and we were one of the only small groups at the bar. We originally sat at the bar and later moved to a table. The bartender was the opposite of friendly and almost seemed annoyed that he had to serve us. He was one way with us and complete opposite with people he knew that walked in early for their shifts next door. Service definitely needs some work and I don't know, at least pretend to like the people you are serving. I asked for an itemized bill which obviously annoyed him. He just seemed super annoyed having to serve us in general. Drinks were fine, food was fine, he was not. Compared to the service next door, this was embarrassing and we will find somewhere else to eat and get drinks before the...

Did not enjoy my brief experience here. A few days ago I was visiting Nashville and came here with my friends. They had 3 separate people check my ID before coming up and saying they don’t believe I’m the same person. I explained that I lost weight over the years, and they kept insisting that they don’t believe it is me and wanted another form of ID. I told him if they don’t believe I’m the same person then they can hold the picture up next to my face and see I’m the same person, and they told me not to be a smart*.

I get that they wanted to make sure they weren’t serving liquor to a minor, but they were increasingly rude. My friend was upset over this and the manager came back to comment on our private conversation (he had already begun walking away prior to us discussing it) and told us that we were free to leave if we did not like the way they handled things, which we did shortly after.

The place seemed cool and I was excited, but unfortunately this was a sour experience before we even got to...

Tribe is... hmm. Tribe is right next to play. Literally 3/4 of the gay bars in Nashville are on this one street. Whereas PLAY is large, boisterous, and for dancing, Tribe is chill and more of a lounge vibe. It seems more like a pre-game spot, even on the weekend. Each time I've been it's very sparsely populated. I'm not going to comment on the diversity because it's Nashville so... lol. They serve food here, but I've never eaten it. It's renovated and has a large back patio area with 2 levels and a mural. The music is good. I think they show music videos on the screens. It usually doesn't have a cover. Overall, it's pretty uninteresting to me. The last time I went was for halloween weekend and no-one was dancing, but I didn't want to spend 20 bucks to go to play. I ended up leaving Tribe because it was dull. I mean halloween weekend is like THE weekend for gays. How is it dull? So, I ended up sneaking...
