The
Market Street Brewery & Public House can be found on Second Ave N, near where

downtown Nashville.
Address: 134 Second Ave N, Nashville, TN 37201-1902
DESCRIPTION:
Besides having an on-site brewery, which gives the
place a nice aroma, The Market Street Brewery & Public House has two rooms
for its patrons to sit and enjoy the experience. One is characterized as the dark
wood room and the second room is called the sunroom, with a view of the river.
There is an easy going, pub-like atmosphere which offers a place to relax and
enjoy.
Tom and I ate dinner here and sat at the long wooden bar, when we
visited Nashville, enjoying the dark wood decorum. Menu includes, "A mixture
of traditional English pub fare, such as fish-and-chips and shepherd's pie,"
along with standard American dishes and of course "southern specialties."
Food was pretty good. We had steak and ribs, while we enjoyed the atmosphere of
the place, which is not really suited for kids, but perfect place to kick back
with a beer or liquid refreshment like iced tea!
HISTORY:
The building
itself dates back to the early days of Nashville. Over the years, various establishments
have occupied the building. A factory, a distillery and other beer and food taverns
have made their home on this comfortable street in the downtown section.
MANIFESTATIONS:
An
unknown entity still enjoys hanging out here, and basically behaves itself when
the place is open for business.. It says hello in little ways, letting the living
know of its existence, and has a weakness for playing with electrical devices.
Chairs
have been seen moving across the dining room floor by themselves.
Lights
swing back and forth on their own power, when no wind or draft is present.
The
entity gets its chuckles by turning the lights off and then turning them back
on, when commanded to do so by the staff.
After hours, this
entity is a stronger presence.
When alone in the building, the
living feel uncomfortable, unsettled, sensing that they are not alone, and sometimes
feel a presence keeping them company.
Still
Haunted?
Yes indeed.
For some reason, this
entity can't let go of this world, and loves to hang out here, a place where it
enjoyed being when alive. It is probably an old customer of the present establishment
or a patron or owner of an earlier tavern who enjoyed being there when alive.
It could also be someone who was involved in one of the businesses which had occupied
this building throughout the years.
