    Owner and staff were very friendly. Low key joint that has a decent pool table and cheap beer.

    There's an ATM in the Bi-Rite upstairs, however they close fairly early so you'll need to have cash going in.

    It is what it is, and you'll hear that line at least 5 times by the people around you, probably…read morehear someone complain that that is not a statement, and another correct them that it is Zen done redneck. This place exists atop its perch overlooking Elysian Fields (the resting place of the souls of virtuous Krogers and Jiffy Lubes) This bar, situated on a little hill next to a couple of gas stations, is a little unassuming - I've been there on various occasions the past few years, most recently with a group called Beer Church Nashville. Every time something new and wonderful happened. The beer selection isn't that great, the music is too loud when there's a band, the place works or it doesn't for you... you'll know it after a beer, but not before. It's one of those places where I only went to see a friend, and would have backed right on out had I not met a row of rather misjudged people. The pool tables were ok but not fabulous the last time i was there, the bartenders were very nice, I was told repeatedly that they had new management and to give them a try - however i did not know what the old management had done differently or wrong - that's some lore I'll have to dig up some day. The place has pretty decent parking, it also has pretty eagle-eyed cops who patrol the corner so really, play it safe and steal a police car before going and don't go with broken headlights or taillights (my old roommate did, she got searched for 45 minutes as evidently admitting you are going to that bar and have not been drinking is suspicious) It's not a place to bring a date, well, not my place to bring a date. The crowd's been drunk, half naked, rowdy, and all-about-to-fight but nothing ever seems to happen that's bad. At least when I've been. Your reaction will vary, I tend to dig dive bars that are dive bars not not hipster hideaways, and although the Parliament smokers would be welcome here, PBR is generally drunk by the patrons due to generations of selective taste breeding.

    Now under new management and renamed Jack's Tavern, this dive bar off of Nolensville has an…read moreinteresting mix of people and entertainment. Karaoke is offered and some nights there's a band. There are two pool tables that only cost .75 a game. Also they've redone the back patio and you can rent that out for parties. The owner (Jack) is a great guy and Dave (the acting manager) is quite helpful. First night we went in he bought us our first round and gave us drink tickets for when we come back.

    Hidden gem alert! Lucky's is a cool dive in Wedgewood-Houston, making it a great spot to wander…read moreinto for a few cheap drinks and some above-average bar food. I stopped by with some friends on a Wednesday night around 7, and we were some of the first people here. The bar quickly filled up, but it never felt too crowded, and never took more than a few minutes to order at the bar. The drink selection is decent - they have a few drafts, some basic cocktails, and dozens of cans available. Again, everything is reasonably priced, especially for Nashville. Their food menu is bigger than you'd expect, and they're known for their hot dogs! Our group tried several different dogs ... my favorite was the Burnt Ends dog! Simply dressed with a buttery bun and a smoky finish, this is a delicious bar snack. There is a FREE parking lot outside, which is such a rarity in this part of town that it's worth highlighting. However, it looks like it fills up quickly, so if you're planning to visit later in the evening, I recommend ordering a rideshare!

    I visited Lucky's 3 Star Bar on a Friday night with a few close friends and let me tell you,…read moreLucky's is definitely not a three star place! Vibe: A very casual sports bar! Feel free to show up in shorts and a t shirt. They have darts, a pool table, and tvs all over the bar to keep you entertained while you have one of their house cocktails, local beers, or a bite to eat. They play a variety of music. The rock music played until about 1am at which point it started to switch over to throwbacks and hip hop. Logistics: This bar is located in the heart of Wedgewood-Houston. The staff are attentive and friendly. Unfortunately there isn't a ton of parking here. If you're lucky if you might snag one of the few spots up front. If you want to play it safe, I would recommend an Uber or Lyft. Veggie Banh Mih Hot Dog: I really appreciated that there were vegetarian bar food options available here. I got hungry as the night went on and opted for the veggie banh mih dog. I was a bit disappointed in my choice. The veggie dog felt a bit bland and while the flavors of the sriracha mayo and pickled radish were nice, the hot dog didn't wow me unfortunately. However, they have many fun hot dog flavors on their menu that I'd be willing to go back and try! If you're looking for a place to go over the weekend with some friends, Lucky's is a nice local bar in town to come hang out at!
