Gate-area taps and pub food at Yazoo Brewing Company
On the Main concourse at BNA, Yazoo Brewing Company brings a local Nashville brewery into airport form: a bar, a handful of tables, and a menu that leans on burgers, sandwiches, and shareable starters. Expect airport pricing; a draft beer usually runs in the $9–$12 range depending on style and pour size.
Beer is the point here, so start with one of their own labels on draft. Yazoo’s pale ales and IPAs are the safer bets if you like hops, while their darker seasonal taps rotate and can sell out by late evening. Staff usually offer samples of 1–2 ounces before you commit to a full pour, which helps when you’re deciding under time pressure at the bar.
Food lands squarely in pub territory: think burgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries, with most mains sitting in the $15–$20 bracket before tip. Portions run large enough that one entrée can cover a normal meal, and appetizers like loaded fries or nachos are shareable for two people who just need a pre-flight snack. Nothing is destination-worthy, but it beats grabbing only a bag of chips from a newsstand.
Service speed depends heavily on how many barstools are full; at peak times around the 5–7 p.m. bank of departures, a cooked-to-order burger can take 20–25 minutes from ticket to table. If your boarding pass shows a tight 40-minute sit, stick to a draft and maybe one quick starter instead of a full meal, and ask the server for an honest time estimate.
Tip: Tabs here close a little slower than at a grab-and-go stand, so pay out as soon as you get your last drink or plate if your flight boards in under 20 minutes.
