Gray's on Main

Tennessee


This drugstore turned restaurant has a rich history dating back to the 1800s. Dine on the 1st floor among vintage mirrors and photos from the 1940s or head upstairs to enjoy live music, a bar and early-20th-century decor. The menu, while small, is filled with homely favorites such as fried chicken, steak and seafood.
