A small, local, Nashville chain is M.L. Rose Craft Beer & Burgers with four locations throughout the metro area. The chain has a rustic, but modern twist that focuses on comfort foods and a wide assortment of drinks. We visited the Mt. Juliet location, which has an expansive deck. Once inside M.L. Rose has multiple spaces depending on the vibe you would enjoy with dining. When we visited we sat in the portion that that was a bit separate with a large, stone fireplace and felt a little bit like someone’s home to create a more relaxed scene.

ML’s menu is quite large and offers brunch, lunch, dinner, and a wide assortment of drink options. The food menu is centered around pub-style food, with burgers as the centerpiece; however, there is also a bit of a southern finesse. Besides burgers, the focal point is the wide assortment of beer options, but there is also cocktail options for those who enjoy something a little sweeter. We visited with a friend and got a few dishes, beer, and even some dessert. Everything was well-made and tasty, while the presentation and ingredients felt like slightly elevated pub dishes. For those in the Nashville area who want to just relax, and have some casual, comfort food, M.L. Rose is a decent option.
