New Restaurants Slated For Midtown And Gulch

Nashville will soon be home to two new restaurants as the area expands its number of dining options.
Union Common Steakhouse, 125-seat social concept steakhouse, will soon open in the Midtown space at 1929 Broadway, previously occupied by Great Escape. Chef Bobby Benjamin, who worked at Flyte and at the Governors Club in Brentwood, is developing a menu for the restaurant. Partnering with Benjamin for Union Common are sommelier Brett Davis, brothers Steven and Michael Ton, and lawyer Chip Hamm.
A new Southern fried chicken and Nashville-style hot chicken spot is also set to open in the Gulch in August. Party Fowl will be located at 719 Eighth Ave. S., at the intersection of Eighth Ave. S. and Division Street. The restaurant will offer 4,000 square feet of open-air dining with garage doors on all sides, with seating for 145 people. Party Fowl will serve 50 wines by the glass, along with a menu of cocktails and beer on tap. In addition to chicken, a smoker will allow for smoked chicken and wings. The kitchen will be open 11 a.m. until 10 p.m., though the bar will offer a late-night menu until last call.  The announcement also promises numerous televisions for sports enthusiasts.
Party Fowl co-owners Austin Smith and Nick Jacobson also operate fine dining spot 360 Bistro.
