45 Best Bar & Grill in Nashville

“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!“

“During our stay in Nashville we wanted a good place to eat that was not part of Broadway. Our condo was in East Nashville and we thought we would try something local to that area...and boy are we glad we did!!! This is cute little gem and everything was excellent, food, service, parking and hospitality. If I lived in the area it would be place that I would frequent often!!!

Parking: Plenty, we had no problem“

“If we a A Lost Paddy in our area I would go there. This was a fun place to eat. Vanessa was helpful with our orders, and quite a charactern So friendly. She floated when she walked. So good at her job. Yes, you order from the bar. Who cares? Tuesday night we had entertainment. They were good. They said there would be entertainment thd next night also, though we didn't see any. We may have been early. The food wss great. Huge portions of tasty, fresh food.“

“Awesome atmosphere loved every second of it.“

“Incredible environment and ambience with over 70 beers on tap. Food is reasonable and very good. Historic bar and with a great staff.“

“Had a blast here! Just moved back home and newly divorced. I needed a GNO and this was the perfect spot!“

“This is the best place on broadway to grab some really good food! They were so nice and accommodating! We had a party of 15 for a bachelorette trip. We were seated with no wait, the food was so delicious, and the staff was very friendly!“

“It was a great time stopping in for a wonderful dinner and really good entertainment! We will be going back for sure next time we are in Nashville!“

“The Redneck Riviera has hosted many bands, but Mike Ponder is the one that has left the greatest impression on me. His interaction with the audience is outstanding. I have not seen any other bands provide this experience, and I'm grateful for the live stream, which allows me to watch him clearly from Idaho.“

“Great cozy place! Yummy food!“

“What a lovely place, with an excellent staff! Great food too! Love the Cobb & spicy shrimp and pita. Love to try the seasonal cocktails and switch it up. Always a good time.“

“Was here with a group of about 30 "old" firefighters and some of there spouses.service was very prompt and very few drinks went dry. The food was delicious and great prices. We sit in the patio area and the weather and lighting were near perfect.“

“I love a good locally owned dive bar. Especially one where the owners prove to be really good people, just wanting a place with a fun atmosphere, cold drinks and unassumingly delicious food! I’ve passed by this “biker bar” for 14 years and finally popped in tonight. As soon as we walked in and friends wanted to turn back around, the two owners said, “why are you leaving? Let us buy you ladies a drink.” We ended up staying and hanging with them and other locals on their front deck bar. We managed to taste food from Chef Jimmy in the kitchen… A dive bar with Sashimi? I don’t even eat seafood and it was unbelievable. The grilled chicken and the sriracha maybe ginger wings were spot on. Definitely going to go back (with my dog for the leash free dog run off the back patio!) Live music and always some trivia event or something. So glad I finally stopped in! Most definitely will be back soon!“

“Nashville wedding weekend. Craving a burger and Big Jimmy’s reviews caught my eye. Local joint with live music and great burgers! Staff were great. They have local Driskin ciders- perfect with the burger!! Def stop by when in Nashville!! We’ll be back!“

“We absolutely LOVED this place. The food was totally on point and delicious, and the atmosphere was awesome as well. We had lunch here and then went back later that night for the dueling pianos, and that show was a blast. Definitely recommend this place 1000%!“

“Always great music and food!“

“Thank you to all the staff here at Copa! They are so polite and welcoming. The food here is absolutely AMAZING. Highly recommend!“

“This is one of my favorite places in Nashville, our girl Bunn always makes sure we are taken care of.

If you’re in town and have the chance to stop by, please be sure to ask for Bunn! One of the best servers and bartenders in 615!“

“Amazing place to listen to quality music (and perform if you are a songwriter)!“

“We had a lot of fun at brunch! Wade was the BEST server. Will be back!“

“This may be my new favorite place in E Nashville. I’m not able to imbibe for a minute and they didn’t have any NA beers. The bartender was super cool and mixed me up a mock tail and it was lovely. Super cool dive bar vibe and great people.While I was totally down with the mocktail, I’d love to see some NA beers show up in the cooler :)“

“Great place! I had my 50 Birthday party there and we had a blast I mean it was so fun.......Before the night was over all my party crowd and the other people there we didn't know was all a GREAT BIG FAMILY we closed the place down !!! That's our place now and forever ??❤“

“This is the best place on broadway to grab some really good food! They were so nice and accommodating! We had a party of 15 for a bachelorette trip. We were seated with no wait, the food was so delicious, and the staff was very friendly!“

“Delicious food! Located inside Ford Ice Center and up the stairs. Great prices - we had the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and WOW - I wish it were bigger. So filled with spice and flavor - seasoned fries - just delicious! ? Service was so friendly & welcoming. Definitely an affordable and enjoyable place to stop in for a quick delicious bite! ?“

“This place is very nice from the atmosphere that it has even down to the simple food and drinks they have. The bar is very doable if you are on budget or even if you just want to have small drink with your friends. I recommend this place especially if you havr a small group or small party. The staff was amazing by the way.“

“Visited today as a local Don’t go to Broadway much. Didn’t want a place ON The same side as all the others. Aldeans, Luke’s etc. IYKYK. Wanted a place off the strip per se…(noise ).Hubs said oh there’s MW. He doesn’t have a sign. City council thing. Well awesome! It was a FANTASTIC place. Food was Awesome. Multiple levels. Go to third level for food, football and great service from Bartenders.
We had: Brisket sliders, wagyu bacon Burger and chicken tender sandwich. Five stars for fries, bar food!!!!“

“Lucky Bastard Saloon is the place to be! The vibe is fantastic, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. Special shout out to the band Too Hot for Leather—they absolutely rocked the night and gave the atmosphere a full 5 stars! Their energy and performance took the experience to a whole new level. I can’t wait to go back for part 2 and enjoy another unforgettable night. Highly recommend this spot for a great time!“

“Our first visit to Blue Moon Waterfront Grille was a pleasant surprise, especially considering we live nearby and didn't even know it was there! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and seated us immediately, which was great since we were all hungry. After placing our order, the food arrived incredibly fast, and it was clear that everything was prepared fresh. I ordered the catfish, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had—and I’ve eaten a lot of catfish! Our picky daughter even enjoyed her meal, which is always a challenge. The waterfront view made for a relaxing dining experience, and the music added a nice touch without being overwhelming. The outdoor seating gave us a beautiful view of the lake, adding to the overall ambiance. This spot has a charming "hidden gem" vibe, and we loved how it made us feel like we were far from the city, even though it’s right in our neighborhood. If you enjoy seafood, especially catfish, Blue Moon is a must-visit. The atmosphere, the food, and the service make it a restaurant worth returning to!“

“Hands down, the sweetest people I have ever met. Serving up incredibly good food!“

“I am not usually big on take out food however, I had a taste for some authentic Italian foods and Roma Pizza & Pasta located in Donelson area was just the place that served very well season chicken wings and soft & airy pizza. Definitely will order again and looking forward to sampling other foods fron their selective menu!“

“Drove in from West GA last night and everyone was hungry. Food was awesome and the hospitality was 100 %. Thanks for having us , we'll definitely be back.“

“Our server, Tracey, was great—very attentive. Most of the food was good (fish tacos, nachos, chicken salad, house-made chips, and key lime pie). Our loaded fries were limp rather than crispy, and the quality of the crispy chicken sandwich could have been better. But overall, a pleasant experience.

Kid-friendliness: We brought our kids and they enjoyed it.“

“awesome bartenders. awesome friends. and pool. #whatelsedoineed“

“Adult night out with good friends we were visiting for a long weekend. They recommended and didn’t disappoint! Great food and atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back on our next trip!“

“Great location, away from the craziness that is lower Broadway. This place is located in the area of town where it is mostly locals and not a tourist joint.We were there for the Whiskey Jam night and had a blast. If you can, you should plan on going for one of these evenings.We did not have anything to eat but the alcohol prices were good and not too expensive.“

“I've been coming to neighbors for almost 10 years. smoked wings were the best wings I've ever had when you smoked 100% with the hot dry rub seasoning it was the perfect concoction. Then you went to smoke 80% then deep fry last 20% good but not as good. Now you have changed again and I have to say they are probably some of the worst wings I've had. Extremely dry meat, hard crunchy skin and then just smothered with dry rub before you serve. It's not just Sylvan park i went over to Germantown one as well and they are the exact same way. The wings are just not good anymore. wish you would go back to 10 years ago where they were smoked 100% and the best wings in the country. Great place to go but stay away from smoked wings until they do something to make them better.“

“We have been to the Nordstrom Grill several times. Great menu, fantastic service, nice wine list and small bar. Today there was a group of 10 very loud women celebrating something. It was so noisy that others in the restaurant were taking note. We could not carry on a conversation at our table of two due to their behavior. We were trying to celebrate my Mom's 91st birthday. This is the reason for the ambiance and noise level grade. Normally this is a very quiet and elegant restaurant.“

“Had a great lunch here today and our server Wade was very friendly and service was great!“

“I visit Nashville several times a year. Whiskey Row is the best bar on Broadway in my opinion. Food, music, atmosphere & service are always top notch. Shout out to my favorite bartender Josh who is super efficient & always has a smile on his face.“
