Really nice and chill atmosphere. Drinks and food are really good. Good music and hookah. Only downside, bathroom could be a lot cleaner.

A like this places ability to go with the flow, with the help of the DJ this place turned into a salsa hookah lounge. They were able to accommodate a large group, and it is defiy a bit more laid back than the rest of Broadway.

I have a wonderful experience every time I visit Brugada, so much so that I wanted to have my 30th birthday there. The staff are incredible and always put their customers first. Drinks are reasonably priced (especially for downtown!). The food is always delicious. And the hookah...let me tell you. IT IS SO GOOD! The music/DJ is always on point and there is a really good vibe.For my birthday, the staff were so accommodating and made it the best birthday!

Love the lounge area and this place has some of the cheapest drinks in downtown Nashville. The chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks are my favorite! Enjoyed the DJ and like that they played pop/R&B Saturday night instead of country like most downtown bars. The waitress was super attentive and friendly and took great care of us. My only complaint is the air conditioning was severely lacking and I was sweating all night. We’ll definitely be back!

Brugada is the BEST hookah bar/restaurant/dance spot in downtown Nashville!! You cant find another place with a club vibe and chill atmosphere! Did I say they have the BEST hookah in Nashville? I challenge you to find it better anywhere else! Do yourself a favor and check it out! Its my fave place to go any day of the week. And the weekend turn up is real!! Stop reading this and go NOW!

The food was AMAZING and the drinks were very well made also. Our server, Monica (ask for her - shes awesome) was the best.There was a very eclectic mix of music - everything except honky tonk (thank goodness!).5-8 is happy hour and they dont skimp on the liquor. Monica even was kind enough to learn my favorite drink - the woo woo - and make it for us.Dont miss the place just because its off the beaten path!

Rhianna was our server and she was so amazing! The reserved seating was cost and the mood lighting was nice. It was a bit more clubby them I imagined but we had a blast! The only thing that I would say is that it could be cleaner. If you have mirrors on the walls, they shouldnt have dirt and food on them and the trash can should be out of sight and everyone that walked by the trash on the floor didnt stop to pick it up. Other than that, this place was a great date night/hang spot! P.S the wings were awesome!!

Went to Nashville on a last minute boys trip and went in for some hookah. Overall, we had a great experience at Bruganda but mostly in part due to our server, Mia. It was her 5th day of working there so she was really green and we put her through the ringer. Very friendly and made sure we were taking care of so big shout out to her. 🙌🏽 If you go, look for her.The table we originally sat at was on the smaller end, not a good size for 4 guys but we were able to move to the couch and spread out thanks to Mia. If you go there with a group, definitely ask for any of the reserve spots or the couch or booth, otherwise youll be seated at a small table. Its cool though if you are solo or with a date.They had a dance floor but no one was really dancing, probably because DJ wasnt the greatest. All good though because the drinks were fairly priced and the hookah was good. Not a huge selection for liquor but they have the basics. We didnt catch the name of the Asian lady that worked there but shes legit with her hookah skills, 100%.We were there on a Friday night but it wasnt busy at all. Very low key with chill vibes during our visit which was perfect.Only negative is they ran out of baklava which is apparently an odd thing to order randomly at night lol. 🤣

Review №27

Waitress and food/drinks/hookah were amazing but the DJ was rude and went as far as to say the manager on duty would not allow him to play Latin music even if it got people on the dance floor (which there was no one dancing in the 3 hours we were there- no matter how hard we tried!)

Review №28

I went here about an hour and a half before closing during the time of COVID. I like the ambience in the lounge. The red lights was a whole mood in itself. It wasnt crowded, social distance between couples and groups and the bartenders/waitresses wore their masks CORRECTLY.(yes!)..

Review №34

Horrible service. It took us 15 min and multiple trips to the bar to receive our tickets. And that was after going to the bar 3 times and me having to approach our waitress while she was at another table (she passed our table at least twice after we asked for checks). Gratuity is also included. Save your coins, time, and energy. Definitely not coming back.P.S.- I never received my jalapeños. My chees was basically a solid by the time she came back.🗣

Review №35

The place isnt very large. We were there on Friday around 5.30pm and it was quite dead. The music was very loud as if it was a night club so we couldnt talk even though we were the only ones in there. The staff was made up of all females with bad attitudes and it seemed like they had the bartender making drinks as well as preparing food so if you ordered anything to eat it was quite a while before you could get a drink. Didnt love it, there are definitely better bars in Nashville.

Review №36

Coming from Los Angeles, I was kind of skeptical of a Nashville hookah lounge accommodation. But this place blew me out of the water! The service by Chasity was exceptional! Her smile, quick service, and extensive knowledge on hookah made me feel like a VIP.I’ve visited most of the other lounges in Nashville and to say the least, they were all sub-par. Brugada gives you that feeling of welcome in an environment that not only caters to your food or alcohol preference but also to the magical sensation of smoking the aromatic hookah.The staff are very courteous and pay attention meticulously to what you request to your order and follow through in stunning fashion. As a hookah blogger, this is my go-to place for some delectable tasting hookah and food whenever I’m in town again. Thank you Brugada & Chasity for a great experience! Much love from Los Angeles!

After club hopping a few times, we ended up here. This is where we shouldve started for the type of mood we were in. Good music, good vibes. Im other clubs nearby, people were too rowdy and ready to fight. This place was the most chill out of everywhere Ive been in the area.

I cannot express the amount of attentiveness, conscientious and professionalism that MARYNA displayed this evening! Being in the service industry myself, she put all of us to shame this evening! Her dedication to her profession is next to none!! I am proud to have been serviced by her and she is an example all servers should follow. Hats off to you MARYNA. You are the epitome of excellence service!

Great vibe here. The blue brugada drink was really good and very decently priced at $6. Was expecting the dance floor to be a little bigger. The DJ was great and played a mix of all kinds of songs. The waitress was very attentive to our hookah coals to make sure they didnt go out. Ill definitely be back.

I got served a terrible drink in a plastic cup for $12 by a waitress who acted like she had something better to do. Then to top it off there was a 18% automatic tax and when I inquired about it the waitress pointed to a little sign on the wall behind a fixture and said it used to be 20%. We wont be back.

The atmosphere was great there were no issues everyone was chilling, drinking, dancing having a good time the DJ was really good and kind of cute the waiters or servers made sure that our hookah stayed hot by blowing the ashes off for us. I will be back great spot to hang out and chill. But its pretty packed in there so get their early if you want to sit in sectional.

DJ plays all types of music, mainly hip hop and Latin. Hookah is always good. Food is decent. When you come in the area to your left and right are open no VIP unless someone tells you. Small dance floor of there is a crowd. Vibes are cool!!!

Troy, Dj Tan the Man, and Cindy were all GREAT! Came in from Southern Illinois for a concert then stopped by after and had SO MUCH FUN! All the staff was were super friendly and personable. Filled up on the Blue Bragada (drink) all night and am extremely satisfied- let alone the great music!!! Will definitely be back!

Good place to dance with a group. Hookahs are okay. Cheapest hookah costs $26 including taxes and mandatory 20% tip. You can choose three flavors but everything tastes the same - a little sweet. Drinks and food is just like any other bar. 3 stars for the music and dance floor.

Went in for happy hour. Sat at the bar to avoid the mandatory %20 table service tip fee, but still charged this fee. 2 stars for BOGO happy hour and no wait due to being empty.

Review №54

Very very cool place. Walked to this bar to wait for a friends band to start a few doors down. The decor is really nice. It has an industrial/earthy feel. There is 2 areas with couches to sit and mingle and a handful of pub tables/bar stools to sit at along with the places to sit directly at the bar. Bartender was very nice. Prices were decent. There is no tap beer, only bottles. Beer ranged from $4 to $11 a bottle. No Budweiser/light. Bathrooms were excellent. Very clean and stocked well. Highly recommended.

Had a fabulous time at this place. Was there for the weekend for my family reunions. We packed that place out with about 25 of us and they were able to accommodate at a late hour. The band was fantastic and the vocalist was awesome. Cant wait to go back someday. Oh I ordered the a catfish bites which were all so delicious. I should have got me some to go!

Review №56

This location offered a nice change in pace from most establishments nearby on Broadway. The food was good, it was not crowded and they had a fairly wide variety of hookah flavor choices. We chose 3 hookah flavors, but we were not aware that all 3 flavors would be served all together at once in one hookah. Regardless, our experience here made it worth recommending to others.

An
Review №57

In terms of actual hookah, this place is the best Ive experienced in Nashville. Ive been to hookah cafes all over the world, including the Middle East, and this was high quality.The disappointing thing is that they only honor happy hour pricing if you check out during happy hour. I specifically asked if it was still happy hour at 7:30 when I arrived and was told yes, but when I checked out an hour later, they said I would have had to pay at 7:30, not order then. It costs double after happy hour ends. I wish they would have made that policy clear on their website, menu or when I asked.

Its good for a stop to try hookah not the greatest though, we kept looking for server and dj kept skipping the songs requested. My husband asked him multiple times and he replied with maybe next time... Paying customers need more respect.

I ordered kabob through DoorDash from here. It was the most dry chicken and lamb I’ve had in my life, besides the hint of plastic. I wanted to try something different, but it seems like they rely on a failing nightclub scene

We looked all night on a Sunday for a safe place to hang. Everything seemed to be close on our way back to the room we walked into this place. And what a great experience it was. The hookah was great and I ate the best cheesesteak I have had in a while. The ranch dressing is really good as well. The drinks were real. And the best part was the service. Our hostess was amazingly kind and took very good care of us. We are going again tonight (Monday). This place made our girls trip even better!!

I love this place. I always begin a night of drinking and bar-hopping here. The music is loud and always upbeat, the DJ never disappoints with the mixture of hip hop/pop throwbacks and current music. The drinks are good and fairly priced; the booths are a little sticky and unkempt but once you start drinking you won’t mind.

Review №71

This place has such an awkward vibe for a hookah lounge. Outdated lounge (holes in seats and booths missing cushions. Average flavorless greek food with tiny portions of lamb. Decent hookah but they were out of milk for milk hookah. We had a really sweet waitress with a cute accent that honestly made our experience better than it would have been considering everything else.

We arrived around around 9:00 and it wasn’t too busy. It’s open seating and we sat on the couches. No one came to greet us for over 5 minutes. We had to ask for service. Once we did get service it was a good experience. Recommended mixed drink was good, not too Smokey, and the music was fine. We would go back.

Good music good hookah. Need to find better place to secure hookah pipes from falling. Floor is uneven in certain places especially near the bar. So when someone walks close to your hookah pipe their weight wobbles your pipe sometimes making the pipe wobble and coals fall off. Extremely irritating or uncomfortable.

Review №84

Absolutely no Customer service. We sat ourselves and waited over ten minutes for water. Ridiculous. Would leave zero stars if I could. I just wanted to eat authentic Turkish food. Instead, we walked into a ratchet place with multiple waitresses looking at us without servicing our party. Again, we eventually walked out after not being served water or even being approached for ten minutes. Will never return. Dont recommend.

Maybe the food is good in the bar/restaurant, but I ordered delivery through Postmates and it was terrible. 15 dollar gyro platter came with almost no meat. It was 3/4 dry bland rice. Seriously, we paid 15 for rice before delivery fees. Im not a picky person, but this was the worst delivery meal Ive ever had that cost more then 7 bucks.

Good hooka and good music good drink prices but service just average. Went in with two people and got charged automatic 20% gratuity even though i had to walk to bar to get drinks myself twice and server was just average. They also closed 2 hours early and didnt tell me that before i bought my hooka so i didnt get much time smoking. 2 for 1 drinks great tho! DJ was playing good stuff.
