The Spot
Pinewood occupies a 13,000-square-foot space in downtown Nashville's SoBro neighborhood, built around several distinct zones: a dining room, a copper bar, a bowling alley, and an outdoor patio. The six bowling lanes are made from reclaimed wood pulled from a 1950s Bowl-O-Rama in Indiana, giving the room a modern-retro bowling setup that anchors much of the space.

At the center is a 30-seat copper bar, where cocktails get handmade touches — house-made syrups, bitters, hand-cut ice, or fresh-squeezed juice. Reviewers point to brunch dishes like chicken and biscuits, fried broccoli, and a cheeseburger as regulars on the table. Outside, a patio terrace holds two dipping pools, a bocce court, and ping pong, with views toward the Cumberland River and the bridge nearby.

Pinewood Coffee rounds out the space as a daytime spot for working or hanging out. The restaurant was a James Beard Foundation Best New Restaurant semifinalist in 2014.
