Last week before the highly anticipated Vanderbilt v. Kentucky game, several of us ventured out to East Nashville to try the newly-opened Pharmacy. Located behind Holland House, The Pharmacy has become known for its good beer, tasty burgers, and old-timey feel. It boasts the unexpected mix of "burger parlor" and "beer garden" - and pulls it off surprisingly well.
Despite waiting over an hour and a half for our group of nine to be seated, we enjoyed their wide selection of drinks - from specialty beers to sodas and milkshakes - on their heated back porch while admiring their expansive lawn and picnic tables, sure to be great for happy hour in the summer.
Once seated at our table - in old church pews! - the service was friendly and fast. Making a menu decision was agonizing. Everything from their specialty burgers to their bratwurst and sandwiches sounded immensely delicious. Several of us ordered their famed Farm Burger - local beef, ham, bacon, maple mustard, and a fried egg. I ordered their Cheese Burger - cheddar, swiss, and muenster with garlic aioli. All burgers are served on fresh cushions of bread straight from Provence - heavenly.
Honest to goodness: this is one of the best burger places in Nashville.
I can't end this post without devoting a paragraph to The Pharmacy's sweet potato fries. Un.be.lie.va.ble. I'd go so far as to say these are the best sweet potato fries in town - thin, flavorful, not dried out, just the right amount of salt. Delectable.
The Pharmacy is located in East Nashville at 731 McFerrin. Go!
