27 Best Bars near Goodlettsville

“We love this local, family iwned restaurant. They are friendly and it's a great atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: I have a gluten alergy, and there are several items available to choose from. They are not listed on the menu, so you will need to ask for help.“

“I love this place. I come here every time I'm in Nashville. The regulars are always welcoming. Bar staff is perfect. Never an empty drink. And..... the brisket tacos from Backstage BBQ out of the kitchen are off the chain. Always coming back.“

“If a small sake shop with cat decor, cat magazine, and vinyl records is your jam, you'll LOVE Rice Vice. It's a very specific place with a very curated vibe, which I appreciated. The bartender was super nice and not only helped us pick a few sakes to try but also let us pick some new pages out of the cat magazines to use as menu backers. They served a handful of Japanese and other east Asian snacks, so we enjoyed a couple different flavors of chips with our sake. (If I recall correctly, the crab curry chips were outrageously good.) Will definitely be back with any sake loving friends.“

“Friendly service, chill atmosphere with a wide variety of interesting cocktail options. Stopped in on a whim and am super pleased I did!! Definitely recommended if you're looking for a great cocktail bar that isn't overrun but tourists/bachelorettes. It's TINY, but there's outdoor seating.“

“My partner took me for my 30th birthday celebration, and I was BEGIND blown away. I am in recovery and have been for almost three years, so to find a restaurant as nice as this, with an incredible NA wine pairing with a fixed feast meal was just BEYOND any of my expectations. I loved every course, all the way down to the very ending with a personalized birthday cake make specifically for me from the in-house pastry chef. Audrey is top tier, and THE place to go for an unforgettable experience and evening. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.“

“I was super excited to try this new place in my neighborhood. The falafel was a bit disappointing as it was dry. Great flavor, but dry. Also disappointed in the beer selection, but I'm a bit of a snob. Service was excellent! Atmosphere - well, it was a bit too loud for this old gal. But a great spot overall ?“

“Best late night food in Nashville! It's a simple menu. Burgers, fries, drinks and open until 3am. It was fun sitting at the bar watching the cook work the grill and build 6-7 burgers at a time. The food is delicious, but even on a Monday at 1130 it was crowded and the bar itself only has 7-8 seats. If you were ever trying to define "trendy dive bar" this is it. The atmosphere was great, every seat was filled, and it's small and cozy inside. The bartender and line cook were both really friendly. I got my fries Joes way. It's worth a try, but it kind of turns the side of fries into a small meal in and of itself. $8 cheeseburger. $3 fries if you are going standard fries without the toppings. Going Joes way adds 5 bucks so it's an $8 plate of fries which was too high to get them again. Still delicious, but the standard fries are still good. This is definitely going to be high on my list of recommendations to anyone looking for late night food.“

“So glad Rawhides has moved into the neighborhood. Lance and his team are incredibly attentive and go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your your time in their establishment. Elevated bar food, dog friendly, kid friendly (before 7pm) and a backyard with games. Thus far- bands have been what downtown Nashville wishes it had.“

“Fun dive bar. My band played here. The most entertaining part of this club is a toothless, mumbling hillbilly who is apparently a resident of the club. He talks gibberish to any and all during and in between bands. It must be seen to believed. Sound system is good, bartender was great.“

“The Pork Belly here is so delicious! The DJ playing on Saturday was amazing! All the staff were super nice, we went back for a late dinner and drinks again on Sunday before we had to fly home. My vegetarian friend said the lentil empanada was so good she bought some to take home.“

“In town visiting family and we came out and hot this spot up!!Great drinks! Cool vibe! Did I say great drinks? LolPassion Fruit Lemon Drop Martini is everything ! Tell Rickey, I sent you and he'll get you right! Lol But it's gonna cost you! Well worth it! I'll be back fasho!“

“Been looking forward to come check out this place, it did not disappoint! I’m avid Geeki Tiki collector so the whole Hulaween menu was right up my alley (ended buying a Pinhead mug) The cocktails were great, crew was pleasant and helpful and the music was dope! Can’t wait to come back!“

“We've eaten at Rock'n Dough several times. The food quality, available menu selections and variety, and especially the service is exemplary. The menu is extensive and offers many salad choices and wraps and even thin pizza crusts for those of us with dietary concerns. They have a full bar and brewery on site. The seating is more than sufficient and when weather is kind, indoor/outdoor seating is prominent as well. There are many large screen television screens surrounding the dining room. Music videos and sports options are plenty.All of that, while fabulous, is really just the well-planned designed infrastructure. The true glory at Rock'n Dough is the staff. They are attentive without being pushy. They are well informed as to menu items and are well versed in asking appropriate questions to insure your meal is prepared and served just the way you want it. Drinks are politely and efficiently refreshed without disruption. My family and I have enjoyed our every visit. I highly recommend Rock'n Dough.Parking: Parking is plentiful, though the lot appears smaller. We have never had difficulty finding a space close to an entrance.“

“I had a great experience eating at the Music City Bar and Grill. They had a great selection of different craft beers. All of the food I have ordered here have been absolutely delicious and the service has always been quick and friendly. They have some great musical performances that take place here. Its got a great location near the Grand Ole Opry. I recommend coming here if you are in Nashville.“

“This place was super cool. The ambiance was great-- cool views and neat stuff to look at. A variety of new and second-hand items. The staff was a little bit inattentive though, despite there being very few guests my only other negative comment is just around the prices-- stuff was super expensive despite being a second-hand store. Like $35 for an old t-shirt you could find at goodwill type vibes.“

“This place is pretty decent for a dive bar. Service was a little slow, but the bartenders were very nice once they paid more attention to customers. The drinks were solid too and fairly priced; I recommend the daiquiri. The decor is all duck themed and they even have a Duck Wall of Fame which is fun. They also have a pool table and darts. It was a little hard to find, but look for stairs next to the hotel and go down those. Also, I felt like there was a pretty bad echo in there making everything much louder. Obviously it's a bar and it's going to be noisy, but the echo made it so I was yelling even though there were less than 15 people there.“

“Here's the thing. This place knows it's identity! I'm not big on the new dive bar idea. It sort of reminds me of buying a pair of new ripped jeans. But, the vibe is cool and the drinks are good. Not what you would get at an actual dive bar with rich local history and stories to tell. But, if you dig that vibe and want to filter out the seedy, sketchiness that you'd get at a long standing dive. This place is for you. Parking, meh. But that's everywhere.“

“They have a decent menu for the type of place it is. The food is pretty good and the serve staff are friendly. No fries (bummer) but a wide selection of chips. Had a cheeseburger with mushrooms and it was tasty. Try a bushwhacker (seems to be the signature drink) or choose a bucket of beers. Seems more of a place for locals than for tourists. It's also dog friendly. They even have their own dog park.“

“I love stopping here for a beer after work. My wife and family thought that it was just great. Fried mushrooms are to die for. The staff have been very friendly and helpful. And yes there are bikers there and all working people. So just come by and enjoy your self.“

“The Nashville Palace was one of my favorite places that I visited when I took a road trip down to Nashville. I got lunch there, and while eating they had an amazing country duo that was playing up on the stage the entire time I was there. Best part about it was the concert was completely free! The food was great, a lot better than I expected. The atmosphere inside here is awesome if you are a fan of live music. Staff was friendly. The prices were reasonable. Fun spot to eat while catching some live music.“

“Food Menu has been scaled back, but sufficient for most. Awesome atmosphere on the water. Waitress was attentive without hovering. General Manager stopped by our table with our "extra hushpuppies" since the fish and chips did not come with hushpuppies, but the catfish platter did. Fish was somewhat overcooked. Salads were excellent. Little confusion re: No sweet tea, No unsweeted tea; turns out they had both.LOL. We were promptly seated, but food took a while. We were a party of four and bill was a little over $89. Left a tip of $20. O.K. for an occasional weekend visit,but not a weekly visit. We live extremely close to this restaurant!!!“

“This place is an amazing spot in East! Never been here before! It’s got a great atmosphere. Staff was super friendly, food was great! I got the chicken salad and it was great (which is hard to find). Kate was my bartender she was very attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“We came here because we were looking for a laid back place to drink and listen to music. From the minute we walked in, it was a great atmosphere. The drink prices were amazing. We got to play darts and pool. The band was great! 90s band. The workers and employees there were so nice and friendly. Next time we come to Nashville we definitely will be back to this place.“

“Our party of four went here for dinner and the ratings looked great. We were lucky to get there when the live band was setting up so we were able to enjoy the live music. First time to Nashville so I'm not an expert on all things Nashville. We all had tacos and they were good, they were not a 5 in my opinion but they were good and I would get them again. We had Fish tacos and Pulled Pork tacos and we all enjoyed them. For Sides we tried their Hot Water Cornbread, one spicy and one regular. We were all very disappointed as these were very hard without the normal soft middle. Now these should not be like normal cornbread, they should be crispy on the outside and soft in the middle and they have a different flavor. These were not made correctly, I didn't complain because they were only $1 each. The service was very good the staff were friendly and even though the atmosphere was very loud with the band, it was a fun place to check out. I recommend checking it out and explore the menu too, lots of options to give a try!Parking: free plenty of parking when we arrived on a Wednesday night“

“We arrived and were greeted promptly. The restaurant was very clean. Including the restroom. Our server Elizabeth was extremely friendly and attentive to us. She answered all of our questions since we had never been there before. We left full and very pleased. Will be back very soon.“
