"Pinewood is the EGOT of Nashville restaurants—it can do a little bit of everything. Part bowling alley, part summer pool hang, part cafe, and part bar, this downtown industrial-chic spot has all of your bases covered, including brunch. It’s located within Nashville’s historic trolley barns, and on any given weekend, you’ll find a mix of bachelorette parties, families with rowdy kids, groups of hungover friends, and couples on their third date. On their tables: hush puppies served with a dollop of pimento cheese, scrambled egg-stuffed sandwiches loaded with molasses onions and cheddar cheese, and a variety of vegetable-packed brunch bowls. And if you’re looking to avenge your pickleball loss last week, the bocce ball court out back awaits." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
