One of the standout experiences in Nashville’s bustling food scene is Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer. Nestled in the heart of downtown at 140 3rd Avenue North, Black Tap has quickly become a must-visit destination for burger enthusiasts. This article dives into why Black Tap's smash burgers have earned a reputation as some of the best in Music City.
The Venue
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer brought its award-winning New York City charm to Nashville, adding a southern twist to its already famous menu. The restaurant is ideally located just a short distance from popular spots like Lower Broadway, Printers Alley, and the Ryman Auditorium, making it a perfect stop for both locals and tourists.
Stepping into Black Tap, you’re immediately greeted by a 90s-inspired décor that spans 4,000 square feet, featuring graffiti art, cassette tapes, and photos of iconic artists from the era. The space is divided into several sections, including a milkshake bar, main dining room, bar area, and a private dining section that can accommodate up to 40 guests. This setup provides a lively and nostalgic atmosphere, ideal for any occasion.
