“ What an incredible friendly atmosphere! Frankie J’s has quickly become “THE” neighborhood gay bar in Nashville. Frequent events, amazing food, and an awesome staff that cares deeply for all customers! ”
“ I initially went here expecting the worse after my first solo bar adventure a few weeks before. I’m very shy, and it’s hard for me to push myself into vulnerable situations, but this has quickly became my favorite safe space. Not only are the staff members very compassionate and hard working, they also ensure a secure, enjoyable experience for all of their guests. I’ve never once felt endangered here, and as a 23 year old lacking a lot of social interaction thus far, it was nice for me to feel like I belonged. I’m from a small town, so Nashville has definitely offered new experiences, with this certainly being the best. The food is also top notch, and I’d highly recommend this location to anyone who feels a little out of place at a conventional bar. ”
“ Stumbled across this place while out with my friend. Inside is super cute and unique, the people are also so nice and friendly. We met the owner and the bartender. They have games you can play while waiting for your food, we played checkers. The food WAS SO GOOD! It was indeed authentic Mexican. I’m vegetarian and the vegan meat they have me was the BEST. Also, I’m not a fan of Mexican street corn but their Mexican street corn is the best I’ve ever eaten. This place is also very inclusive . We love to see it! ”
“ Frankie J's is so welcoming to EVERYONE! went in with my husband and had a great time chatting with the bartenders and owner. awesome drink prices, great menu, the best service. 11/10 will be back and recommend that everybody stop in! ”
“ I wish I had more alcohol in my cocktail, but I'll let it slide this time. The friendly service covered that shortness. ”
“ This bar is a MUST if you are near Germantown. 11/10 would recommend. They really know how to take care of all the she's/he's/they's/them's! Their backyard got recently renovated so they have a gorgeous event space now If you're looking for cheap drinks/food with fantastico Latino vibes then this is the right place for you! ”
“ This is my favorite LGBTQ bar in town! The staff is so friendly, the drink prices are so good and the food is yummy. They are super welcoming to all. They have a great patio in the back too. They do different theme nights throughout the week/month so check their instagram. This is vibe is lively but chill. No blaring music or crazy dance floor. They also serve Frothy Monkey coffee on certain mornings and on the weekend. ”
“ Love the relaxed atmosphere, service is top notch, attentive service from Brandon and Jonathan and worked out that it’s a rainy Saturday afternoon that we stopped here trying to work out what the rest of our weekend itinerary should be. LOVED this gem of Germantown bar!!!!! Queer or straight or whatever you are, why should that matter??? Shouldn’t the drink that only thing that does? Will be here every time we’re I.
