Stock-Yard Restaurant

The Stock-Yard restaurant is recognized as one of the Top 10 steak houses in the USA.  The Stock-Yard serve Certified Angus Beef® steaks exclusively. The steaks at the Stock-Yard are aged to perfect tenderness and cooked to order over a hickory, charcoal grill.

When the Nashville Union Stock-Yards was established in 1924, corrals lined Second Avenue and were filled with livestock – cattle, hogs, sheep and mules – awaiting sale.  For over 50 years the stockyards were the livestock trading center of the mid-south.

The handsome building featured hallways lined with pink Italian marble trimmed in the finest cherry wood.  On the main floor buyers and sellers would find offices of many trading companies along with a bank,telegraph office, a barbershop, saloon and even a private gambling room!  The commissioner’s offices were upstairs and livestock was auctioned off downstairs.  As distribution channels changed in the latter half of the century, the Nashville Stock-Yards were no longer viable.
