The Pharmacy Burger Parlor & Beer Garden is located in the heart of East Nashville, tucked away across the street from the famed Mas Tacos. It's a delicious corner right there on Mcferrin Avenue, with tater tots and burgers and beers on one side and a whole slew of Mexican street tacos on the other.
The Pharmacy boasts a creative menu of both burgers and brats, and there's even an old fashioned soda fountain for you sweet toothed visitors out there.
The outdoor beer garden is perfect for a communal lunch spent with great friends. Keep in mind, The Pharmacy does not take reservations and does not seat a party until everyone is present. Make sure to show up with your buddy, because the wait time can get long during the busy season.
At night, the garden lights up with fairy lights and is filled with the sound of belly laughs and good conversation. It's a vibey, decadent experience, one that will transport you back to those nostalgic days dining around a campfire. With a freshly grilled burger in hand and your best friends by your side, there's nothing better.
The beer menu is both expansive and impressive. The favored cold beverage is served on tap and by the bottle, or you can indulge in a glass of wine, cocktails, or your choice from a menu of hard shakes and floats.
The menu is a true dream. Folks rave about the Farm Burger, topped with ham, bacon, a farm egg and maple mustard alongside its beef patty, because it boasts meat from every animal on the farm. Looking for something a bit more simple? Opt for the cheeseburger, which has cheddar, muenster, swiss, roasted garlic aioli and tomato on top. Yum!
Will you be joining for dinner? The Pharmacy Burger Parlor & Beer Garden is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, is open late until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and closes a hot second early at 9:30 p.m. on Sundays.
