I shuffled into the Villager Tavern after a brief 17 year weekend away and sat down where I'd first…read moresat down back in 1999. The dog bowl looked a little more rugged than I recalled and I sat about looking for the picture of my friend (and possibly me) that was on the wall. It wasn't visible, but I also wasn't spending a lot of time looking as it was my wife's birthday and we've both been talking about getting our birthday bowl of beer at the villager for over a decade and then never managing to do it. It's ever so slightly different without the thick layer of smoke that reminds you that you're dying just by breathing there, but still a gem that's nestled in a spot you'd never expect... bougie store, bougie store, art house movie theater, bougie store, the Villager... one of these things is not like the other, and it's great. My crew has long since passed from the place, it's a bunch of pictures of people who were my age up now when I served my time at the joint. It's been one of my favorite places to know it exists, even if I haven't been there in forever.

Red Door - Nashville…read more I had one of the most uncomfortable door experiences I've had in Nashville, and I found it both disgusting and shameful. Our group arrived at Red Door dressed well and prepared to enjoy the evening after attending an industry holiday party. At the entrance, the way our group was handled felt inconsistent and unfair. One person was allowed in without being asked for ID, while another member of our group was stopped and told to remain outside because of a fake fur jacket. There was no clear explanation, no consistent application of rules, and no attempt to handle the situation respectfully. Watching different standards applied to people in the same group was confusing and upsetting. The way this was handled felt arbitrary and, from my perspective, discriminatory in nature. Being excluded while others were allowed to enter freely was humiliating and unnecessary, and it completely ruined what was meant to be a celebratory night. The overall experience at the door was, in my opinion, disgusting and shameful. This reflects very poorly on how Red Door manages its entrance and the individuals representing the venue. Based on this experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment.

We came here for the hot chicken next door at Red's but we stayed for the pool and great company…read more Our family immediately gravitated to the pool table. Lola was bartending in the afternoon and at first she looked at our two kids with suspicion but she politely asked that we watch after them at the pool table. Lola told us how she had learned to play pool before she was tall enough to peer over the table. The hot chicken at Red's was delicious. We ordered the tenders in medium hot, catfish in medium hot, and chicken sandwich in extra hot. The extra hot actually tastes milder than the medium but the heat builds quickly. And while we enjoyed the extra hot, I actually thought the medium heat had a tastier blend of spices. Back to the bar, though. We met the owner, Terry Cantrell, and he was so warm and friendly--showed us the prohibition door with the tiny sliding window where the bartenders would take a peek to make sure you were cool, legit, and not with the Feds before letting you in. He told us about the moonshine operation in the neighborhood. He told us about the movies and commercials that have been filmed there. And he told us about how he had bought the bar in the late 70s to the chagrin of his father who wanted him to do something else with his college degree. This place and the people who work there are gems. Great stop in Nashville.

Outside the front door, you're informed in big painted letters that this is a "supper club and…read morelounge." Well, now. There's no supper club here nor any lounge. In fact, there is no food here whatsoever although it's very common to order food at Red's next door and have them deliver it to you as you nurse your beer and look for this mysterious supper club and lounge. Beer is all they serve here. Even the soft drinks come from a vending machine. Just beer. Cash only. The somewhat stern looking and tough acting barkeep told someone that this is a "music venue" because they have two live shows a night. I guess I can get behind that but during the day, this is Tennessee's oldest bar and there is no music playing inside at all, no radio, no nothing. It's extremely rough around the edges (the ceiling is heavily stained and more warped than not) but most of the customers are tourists who did NOT do their homework and didn't realize it's CASH ONLY. There's an ATM inside, so I guess you have to pay the high transaction fee, fool. It's divey looking for sure but a real dive bar has scary locals inside and not 75% tourists with their fanny packs. And absolutely, please do order a Red's hot chicken sandwich next door and have them deliver it to you at Springwater. It's the best hot chicken sandwich you'll have in Nashville.

Talk about great food, customer service, GREAT LIVE LOCAL NASHVILLE TALENT, and overall just a fun time. Honestly I'm happy I experienced this place on the weeknights before the weekend when things get wild because it made for a much more personalized experience. Highly recommend the Shrimp & Grits, the Fried Pickles which are done different so just experience it for yourself and also the Meatloaf is a MUST. Honestly after being raised in the south and having had so many southern dishes I can say that The Row does it right. Swing by, have fun, enjoy the music, support the local artists, and strike up some fun conversations. Cheers

We took an Uber over and when we dropped off, the venue itself looked like a trailer home decked out in Christmas lights in the middle of nowhere. The security guy up front also doubled as a photographer and seemed to be waiting for a tip afterwards. The venue is cash only so be sure to bring plenty of cash if you plan to drink a lot. While not in the thick of Nashville, it is still in Nashville, so I did feel intimidated by all the amazing local singers who hit the stage in comparison to my own performances. I was able to sing 5 or 6 songs, and I had a great time!

The bartenders and server were pleasant and drinks came up relatively quick. It is on the pricier side but that's the price you pay for a unique experience. One thing that I really didn't like is that our server didn't mention that auto gratuity (20%) is included on the bill. I always tip 20%+ even for mediocre service BUT I fully believe that when there is auto gratuity you should tell the patron or you're being a bit deceptive. We all added 20%+ on top of the existing 20% already and then had to adjust it when one of my friends thought her total was a bit high and pointed out the added gratuity. Not a good look or practice in my opinion.
