Was Sasha ABITAN at Bongo East a mag?
I visited Nashville for a conference and had this restaurant on my list of places to check out if I had the opportunity. I ended up going early in my trip and liked it so much that I returned several times before I left. It's a fantastic spot for anyone who enjoys board games. We played two new games that I probably wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. The atmosphere was much more welcoming than other places I visited... View all feedback.

What Sasha ABITAN dislikes about Bongo East:
I came in hoping to spend a relaxing hour reading before closing, but the two female employees with shaved heads played very loud rock/metal music, as if they were at home. I politely asked if they could turn it down, as it was quite disruptive. They lowered the volume slightly, but it was still distracting. Although there were only four customers in the café, staff should be considerate of their patrons. This wasn’t... View all feedback.

One of best places to play a game and get coffee that we have been to. Very nice selection of games that are FREE to play. Coffee is excellent and we had a choice of three snacks for only seven dollars. Plenty of people playing and others not playing and just having coffee and food. Small area to sit outside and nice park space next to store. Plenty of other great food options in this fun little part of Nashville away from broadway. On street free parking was easy to find.
