If you’re the type who believes dinner should feel like a party, community should taste like family, and every bite should slap with Southern soul, then get ready, friend—you’re gonna love Lockeland Table in East Nashville. 

Nestled in the heart of one of Nashville’s most creative and buzzing neighborhoods at 1520 Woodland St, TN 37206, this neighborhood hot spot is where casual cool meets culinary excellence. We’re talkin’ warm wood tones, an open kitchen, and that unmistakable Nashville vibe where your server might’ve just come from a songwriter’s round—but still delivers your pizza with five-star finesse.

👨‍🍳 Led by local legend Chef Hal Holden-Bache 

Lockeland Table ain’t just another trendy eatery—it’s the real deal. Hal’s been nominated for James Beard awards, and when you taste the wood-fired pork chop or the Southern carbonara (yeah, that’s a thing), you’ll get why. 

And the best part? It all goes down in a cozy, reclaimed building that used to be a neighborhood grocery store. That’s right—this place has roots, y’all. Old-school charm with new-school flavor.

✨ Menu Highlights You Don’t Wanna Miss:

• Wood-Fired Redneck Risotto (yep, with pimento cheese)

• 🥩 Tennessee Wagyu Hanger Steak

• Farm-to-table flatbreads that might just change your life

• 🍸 Lavender Bees Knees cocktail (it’s like springtime in a glass)

And here’s the kicker—they’ve got a Community Hour (aka the best happy hour in East Nash) Tuesday through Saturday from 4–6 PM. That means $6 snacks, $6 wine, and a whole lotta neighborhood love. Who said happiness can’t be affordable?
