1pm acoustic set with 6 singers was pretty special.

Best listening room I’ve been to in Nashville. People here appreciate and listen and don’t talk. So Good👊

Good entertainment and cold beer

Jack McAvoy

Great watering hole, would love to catch some live music here. The bartender made an outstanding recommendation to a spot in the east end. It made for a super fun time! Highly recommend popping in here.

Old school dive bar where you can find amazing musicians playing almost every night. Bobby's is one of the last remnants of what Nashville bars were before country music celebrities bought up everything on Broadway. The atmosphere is relaxed, the beer (and it's just beer) is cold and the bartenders are friendly. Weeknights are not too busy so you can strike up a good conversation. Weekends might be a bit more of a jam session vibe. Bring a dollar to put on the wall, but they do accept cards now. Prices are affordable especially for this area of town. Food comes out of a microwave and the best thing on the menu is probably the bag of popcorn. Drink selection is a mix of 12 oz and 16 oz domestics some white claws and maybe a craft beer or two all in cans or bottles. This is in no way a brewpub or craft beer on draft type of place. Visit for the throwback vibes and top notch country music.

Parking: Small parking lot, some free street parking nearby if it's not busy out.

Kid-friendliness: Not a kids place 21 and up after 6pm

Josh and everyone in there were very friendly. Heard some really great songs from some talented musicians for their 4th anniversary celebration. Will definitely visit again next time we are in town!

If you're looking for a whole in the wall / dive bar this is it. It's small, and has live music. The food menu is small.
