50 Best Sports Bars near Old Hickory

“Amazing burgers and fries! Quiet little hidden gem with limited seating but great staff and food. Chicken is sliced chicken, not chicken breasts but still great. Salads and bowls are also great. Kids are welcome. Patio seating.

Kid-friendliness: They do have a simple kid menu. Great for lunch or dinner but they do have a bar and trivia. So, probably best before 7pm. Bring my infant and toddler often and see other little kids“

“Great neighborhood sports bar. Best wings in town and a great smash burger. Meat and 3 for lunch Mon-Fri. Friendly staff and great tv set up to watch a game. They have all the NFL games as well.“

“I had the privilege of eating at Jonathan’s in MT. Juliet. The food was excellent and so was our server Molly. I gave the restaurant 5 stars and would also like to give Molly 5 stars . We will be returning customers. Thank you“

“After a hiccup, manager Danny quickly & without hesitation, made things right. Food was delicious and they switched from those yucky seed oils, to using beef tallow to fry the foods! Server, Austin, was kind and got questions answered for me. And he thanked me for the tip...a rare thing, in my past experiences! I will return to this restaurant.“

“Great food and service made us feel so comfortable“

“Awesome place. All in Chiefs gear and not one rude look in the middle of winning the Orange Bowl. 😅 Felt the energy, and know it well! Congrats and thanks for the hospitality!“

“Waitress named Sarah was phenomenal. If y’all want top tier service and quality ask for Sarah all the time. She went above and beyond. She gave us personal recommendations on the menu since it was our first time here. She was very attentive, never let our drinks go under half, was very polite and interacting with us. The manager on duty was also phenomenal, gave us a discount because my wife is a first responder .She was very attentive and respectful. Atmosphere was amazing and the food was very delicious and to top it off the price was very reasonable. Drove all the way up from New Orleans. My fiancé and I will definitely be back.“

“Samantha was our server for Monday Night Football this week, and she was absolutely amazing! Super friendly, attentive, and on top of everything even with the busy crowd. She made the night that much better. From previous servers we’ve had, we had our doubts but she made the night a blast!“

“Great west coast atmosphere in a bar, great staff and cold beer. What we like best is the staff has personality. Downtown has become too assembly line for us. Decent volume on the juke box, you can't beat the Thursday all night happy hour. Lots of parking, too. Sorry, can't say about the food, I've never eaten there.“

“You may or may not have fun here. 3 ☆.“

Met alot of awesome people and The overall energy of this establishment was five stars for sure!

“I feel like this place doesn't get enough credit. Great food. Great staff. Great local hangout. Never had a bad meal or time at Sam's.“

“Great food and atmosphere. Taylor is definitely #1 server.“

“We had an absolute blast here from start to finish. Visiting during the off-season on a Sunday night turned out to be the perfect move, it had plenty of energy without feeling crowded or chaotic. The place felt alive, but you could still move around easily and actually enjoy yourself. And honestly, where else are you going to find $5 bull riding? That alone set the tone for a fun, laid-back night. Even better, the prices across the board were reasonable considering the location.
We ended up spending hours bouncing between activities shooting pool for just $1 a game, taking turns on the punching bag, and throwing darts. It was one of those nights where there was always something to do, so you never felt stuck just standing around with a drink in your hand. It’s a great break from the typical bar scene where your only options are drinking and yelling over loud music.
The unexpected highlight of the night? Walking into the bathroom and witnessing two guys doing a full-on song and dance routine. It was completely unplanned, absolutely hilarious, and one of those moments you’ll be talking about long after the night’s over. Honestly, that alone made the visit memorable.
The place itself is smaller, with a relaxed setup where you order directly at the bar. Instead of a live band, they had karaoke going, which actually fit the vibe perfectly and added to the fun without overpowering the room. Overall, it’s a unique spot with character, affordable drinks, and plenty to keep you entertained. Definitely a great place to hit later in the evening when you’re looking for something fun, different, and memorable.“

“Great day hanging out and service was awesome“

“Our first time for lunch today. The BEST snow crabs I have ever had. Blackened Mahi, grouper and drunken shrimp…oh and the key lime pie. Absolutely the best of everything!! Highly recommend and it’s our new weekly date night!“

“We got to the restaurant and and a gentleman literally shouted out before he left "Don't eat here...you won't get served!" Well...we should have listened. We sat at the bar until they could seat us. After an hour I asked my sister to ask if they skipped us. They took an hour and 30 minutes to seat us...this after the 3rd time we asked and literally no one waiting. we We were the last ones to be seated although we werent the last on the list. When we finally got to a table 15 minutes went by and no one tended to us. We finally pulled one of the waiters and told them that we haven't been waited on. A waitress finally comes to us and and we ask for food she says.. I think the kitchen is closed but let me ask. I said somebody better get our order we have been here for an hour and 45 minutes. She said ok I'll take your order and make it work. After an 2hrs and 20 minutes we finally get our food! Thank goodness for the good waitress! We spent about $300 on this place. Will we ever come back...NO.“

“We`re happy to have City Tap as one of our top rated partner bars in Nashville for our line-up of Bar Crawls. Always a great place to party. Friendly staff, amazing food and tasty drinks.“

“The music was super bad ass. Environment was OF COURSE sick! The bar had three different levels. We checked out all 3 levels. Again the music there was top notch, super awesome. The windows on the lower level open completely up and the pic attached was of a gentleman asking for money and was honest enough to let everyone know EXACTLY what he wanted it for LOL.“

“Great burgers, great service Will definitely will stop again. Wish there was a franchise closer to Kentucky. (The sweet potato waffle fries were over cooked but the waitress gladly took the price off the check ) Keep up the good work ?“

“We started with the pepperoni cheese curds lightly breaded and paired with a bright, flavorful marinara. Then we shared the Jalapeño Popper Burger, ordered medium rare, cooked perfectly with just the right kick of heat. We upgraded to the Nashville Hot Tots… yum! Our server Nate brought that authentic Tennessee charm, prompt, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We grabbed a Cookie Butter Shake to go and WOWZA! Sweet, rich, and dangerously good. Excellent!“

“Great service! Dave is the GOAT and his bartenders Made my daughter’s Bachelorette first day in Nashville so great!!!“

“Took my girlfriend for her birthday. It is an awesome place to hang out and listen to live music. Our waitresses were very attentive and took GREAT care of us. We split the bbq nachos and they tasted great. The BBQ was so tender and had a great flavor. The decor is so music and Middle Tennessee. We actually met the owner, who lives locally. We will definitely be back.“

“We were here for a conference and they’re able to accommodate three of us immediately. It was great. The service by Colton as exceptional. He kept the refills coming & had us in & out in good time for us to get back to our convention class. Thanks buddy! We’ll try to get back in your section before we leave town.“

“Lucky Bastard Bar is an excellent place to hang out with a lively and welcoming vibe. The live band is awesome and really sets the mood, making the whole experience energetic and fun. It’s a great spot to grab a beer, relax with friends, and enjoy good music. The atmosphere, music, and drinks come together perfectly—definitely a place worth visiting again!“

“If you are a single person or with friends, this is the bar you have to come to, the food is 200%, I have visited an unlimited number of bars in Nashville and this is the best, it gives you a Caribbean vibe, but at the same time very American, here you can feel however you want, if you like sports this is the bar for you to come with your friends, believe me it is the best bar, the bartenders will love you.“

“I used to go to USA at least once a week for a couple of years. There.
Have been changes at the bar and in my life since then, so I don't go nearly as often. But the 2 times I've been this month have been a good indication that new changes are going in great directions. I had a great time last night. Mitch and the ladies run the bar like clockwork, keeping everybody hydrated and laughing, and the patrons can literally make your day, your night or your year“

“The food was divine! I recommend the chicken parm sandwich. Delicious! The atmosphere is great. Vibes are awesome. 10/10“

“I reached out on behalf of the Bobcat Collective to ask if they would partner with us last week and host our fans who traveled to Nashville for the FCS National Championship game. Every single person at Barstool jumped in with both feet to enthusiastically host us. They offered drink specials, they helped create flyers and promotional materials to advertise the collective and from Friday to Monday did an amazing job creating a wonderful place for fans to meet! Food was amazing, music was on point but it was the people. The management, staff, everyone was so helpful and accommodating! That level of service means everything to Montanans. I’m proud to say I have a new favorite spot in Nashville and can’t wait to go back!“

“had a blast with the guys as we are here from Houston working but the waitress was terrible it took 1 hrs to get nachos and was disappointed as there were 4 of us we ordered beers and she never came back for us to reorder more drinks and food until we had 15 minutes and we were playing from 7:30 to 9:30 and only seen her 3 times. we told her thanks for the terrible service and she replied back with (I know huh the waitress sucked). very unprofessional as this was our first time ever going to a top golf and it was very disappointing. I'm not sure if there was a shortage of staff but I hope next time we can have a better experience for what we paid for as we did enjoy the time playing together as coworkers.“
