Local Roots, Staple Destination: The Jonathan’s Grille Story

When visiting Jonathan’s Grille, you feel it immediately. It’s that loud excited energy, the sound of a game winning moment and the buzz of a neighborhood coming together. 

Before we became Nashville’s #1 Sports Bar with locations stretching from Germantown to Chattanooga, we were just a single family owned spot with a simple mission: provide a better class of sports bar.

Our story isn’t some corporate blueprint. It’s the real Tennessee story.

Born in TN, Built For The Neighborhood 

Established in 1999, Jonathan’s Grille was built on the idea that you shouldn't have to choose between a great game and a great meal. As a family owned, upscale sports grille, we’ve spent over two decades committed to the best quality food and service. We aren't just a place to grab a drink or a bite to eat; we are a part of the community here in Tennessee.

We grew up here, and we treat our guests like friends and neighbors, because you are our friends and neighbors. We take massive pride in providing a clean, open space where the atmosphere is as fresh as the ingredients in our kitchen.

Best Of Both Worlds

We know that sometimes you want to yell at the refs with a crowd, and other times you just want a nice dinner with the kids. That’s why we designed our restaurants to offer two distinct settings.

One side is our high energy bar, packed with enough TVs to catch every single play from every single league. The other side is our restaurant area, an upscale, comfortable setting perfect for family night or a polished date night. Whether you’re here for the 2 for 1 Beers or a quiet table to enjoy our Prime Rib, we’ve got the perfect seat waiting for you.

Where The Kitchen Is The MVP

While our walls are lined with screens, our kitchen is the real X-factor.

We don’t do bar food shortcuts. We are obsessed with excellent quality food, and service. From our signature Southwest Eggrolls and Pepperoni Pizza Rolls to our lean Bison Burger and fresh Teriyaki Salmon, every dish we serve is crafted with the standard of excellence you expect from Nashville's #1 Sports Bar..

We’ve grown because we never settled for the status quo. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, a rowdy Saturday afternoon of football, or a late night celebration, you’re getting the best of Tennessee hospitality.
