They let us order a sandwich around 2:30 when they close at 3. But then made us wait outside while they finished making their sandwich. Super unprofessional and weirdly rude. Don't go if you are in a hurry, want to be treated like an actual customer, or expect good service because it won't happen at all. Slow. Inattentive staff with poor training. read more

my boyfriend got the beer and shot for 7 dollars and he loved the deal especially since it was his favorite beer and whiskey (coors banquet and four roses). I got the drink called twiggy and it was a really good botanical drink. small inside and a nice cozy patio. read more

F*cking love their samitchs :) tip the cook, he makes some mean samitchs :) really dig this spot and there drinks. If you know, you know if you don't then go back to broadway read more

First bar I ever went to when I moved to Nashville. For some stupid reason I moved. Now I all I think about are their sandwiches, shot specials and canned rosé. And a certain bartender. But that's for me to know.... read more

Great bar. Food is awesome too. MUSIC IS TOO F'IN LOUD...I just wanna drink & talk to my friends.

Their subs are amazing, seriously. The italian sub is so good, I unbuttoned my dress shirt, put on a gold chain and played Bocce ball for the rest of the evening. read more

Came here a couple of times for their sandwiches and enjoyed it each time. They told me and then remind me that there is a bar attached but I was so focused on the sandwich that I forgot. This time a friend invited me to Duke's to listen to music until the wee hours. Listen to music at a sandwich shop until the wee hours?! Oh, yeah! The sandwich shop was open late so I was able to eat and have a drink at midnight! How crazy is that? The drinks are relatively inexpensive and the sandwiches are just as good as they are during the day. The sandwich maker and the bartender were nice, friendly, and helpful. It is a tiny place so not great for big groups. I found easy parking in the adjacent lot. read more

Love this bar. Good music. Good hang. Good sandwiches. Bartenders care. Best place for a drink in 5 Points.

I LOVE their sandwiches. They take a few minutes (there's only one person running the sandwich station) but they are inexpensive and delicious. The staff has always been friendly and helpful too. As far as the bar goes, it's okay, a little cramped. I've had to wait rather long to get a drink, when the bartenders had a clear look at me. But that's most bars. Overall I like this place. read more

Love this place for a laid back night in a great location! The Price is right and the music is always great if you like that live music feeling! And they have a real deli counter to order sandwiches and its open late! Perfect for that "one too many" moment we all know and dread. read more

Great vibes, always gold music being played, usually a DJ spinning great jams from 10pm on. Fantastic sandwiches, I recommend the London Broil Beef served hot pressed! read more

My coworkers and I came here for drinks after eating dinner close-by. We didn't get any mixed drinks, just wine and beer. We went around 11pm on a weeknight, and we were rather shocked that there was a nice amount of people in there, so we stood behind the bar because there were not any seats left. The bartender was ok, wasn't overly friendly, but did get us our drinks in a reasonable amount of time. read more

Best bar in Nashville hands down. Sandwiches are amazing! Drinks are cold. People are good. What more could you want?

if you go to east nashville and you do not get a duke's sandwich, that is bad and you should go back and get one. i like the grilled cheese. honorable mentions: tiny bomb on tap and the awesome staff! i love sandwiches. read more

This bar confuses the hell out of me. Hipsters pretending to like 1950's country music. The sandwiches are dope af tho. And that patriot deal is big winners type ish. You can get a shot of 4 roses and a mug of Coors banquet for $6. Also this is one of the few places in east Nashville that actually stays open til 3am. Despite the hipster Cowboys, worth it. read more

A friend and I where there last night, sat at the bar for 10 min, it was not busy at all. The bartenders (there were two) literally ignored us. Took drink orders from people that walked up directly behind us and never asked us want we would like. We just got up and walked out. Being an east side resident for the past 7 years I've never experienced such rude service. Will not be back, not that they care. Walked into another bar and instantly got a drink, who by the way only had one bartender. read more

Because sometimes a deli sandwich from a dive bar is just what you need. Cheap, delicious, and they even had a veggie option though I had to go for the full tramp. Did not disappoint. read more

Small and dark when the sun goes down, it's all abut the bar for us, squeeze in and order The Tommy. Cheap and cheerful with a bunch of regulars. read more

Not my vibe (rockabilly/hipster?) but drinks are definitely stiff and cheap. Not a place for casual or intimate conversation but come for cheap drinks and fun times. Great experience here read more

This is the coolest bar in the entire city of Nashville hands down. The staff is as real as it gets, and the music selection eclectic, yet on point every night. You feel the heart and soul of young Nashville manifested in the crowd. The sandwiches (served to 3 am daily) are fantastic just to top it off, and is easily enjoyed whilst drinking and enjoying the vibe with friends. Anyone with taste needs to stop here while in Nashville. read more

Went in on a Friday night around 11:30. I'm so over shitty hipster service. You can be a douche bag, but as long as you're fast, I don't care. The bartenders apparently didn't want to make money because they were three deep and didn't seem interested in serving anyone, except for the few people that were of a similar demographic as themselves. There were plenty of non hipster adults, dressed like adults waiting for drinks as well. When I finally was served, they were dismissive and borderline rude. If you're going to suck at your job, at least be nice. I immediately paid my tab, tipped 20%, slammed my drink, and left. Giving an extra star because the bar itself is cute, and I would try again with some different people behind the bar. read more

Cool spot and great late night option for food. I had the Italian sandwich and it blew my mind. There was a dj spinning good tunes when I picked up my Togo order. My sandwich and I happily danced our way out and I wish I coulda stayed. read more

Parker on bar and David d tv on deli. Everything was awesome. Best spot east of the Cumberland.

Really cool place, though hipster af. $3 PBR tall boys and free food on 4th of July was awesome sauce. And OMG was it good. I liked the vibe, it was really fun! read more

Stopped in just for drinks. Very cozy little bar. Can't order food at the bar and there is no physical drink menu( it's on board). That is really my only gripe, but something that could be fixed. Everything else was top notch. Bartenders were very friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the music playing. It's dimly lit, and almost wanted to give off a speakeasy vibe. read more

Chilling, people watching. Bartender can pour both bourbon and cold draft beer. They may also have other things. Not too loud. All around good place to meet people and relax. Just what I needed. read more

Sitting at Dukes having my first sandwich and beer. Great atmosphere, amazing music, even better sandwiches. Will absolutely come back. Very friendly staff and excellent service. read more

I travel a lot and always look up local places to grab a sandwich for lunch. This was the closest to where I was at the time. Walked in and immediately got the feeling I was not welcome. There were four workers and one patron at the bar. No one looked up or welcomed me. I walked around awkwardly as it was unclear what the protocol was and eventually asked someone behind the bar how to get lunch. They pointed to the other room where I went and ordered and sandwich from their small deli area. I asked if I could buy a drink and the deli guy just pointed back to the bar. As he worked in my sandwich, I walked back to the bar and stood there for a few minutes. None of the three workers behind the bar paid any attention so I went back when my sandwich was ready, ate it and left without any further interaction from anyone. Seems there are other reviews with similar stories. Hopefully they will be more welcoming to others in the future, but I will not be stopping back. read more

Great staff, great drink deals, sandwiches all night... great little hole in the wall.

Great bartenders, kinda strange vibe, delicious sandwiches. A good haunt in an ever-expanding bar scene.

My favorite bar in town. It feels like Cheers except there's usually loud music playing and no Ted Danson. I promise you that these are good things. read more

This sandwich is LEGIT! My husband and I came here on a Friday after leaving the main strip downtown. This was the best late night sandwich I have had in a minute. I highly recommend trying. It is worth the wait:) read more

Love this bar, great staff all around. I went to order a sandwich on a Saturday night and the person working the deli counter looked at me with true horror in their eyes, as they were the only person working and had many orders to fill. As a fellow food service industry professional, I retracted my order and wished them good luck, and they were most appreciative and understanding. Owners of Duke's, if you're listening, you have a great bar, but please add another deli employee to assist on busy nights, I hate to see anybody look that terrified at the thought of having to make a sandwich when they are already in the weeds. Again, love the food and the bar, you've got a great thing going here, and to those of you reading this review, I 100% recommend checking Duke's out, it's awesome! read more

Sandwiches are awesome! Seriously glad I found this spot, it is kinda hidden. It is probably one of the best sandwich spots in Nash.

Finally checked this place out. Very chill and legit. they make the sandwiches in a different area from the bar which is a good choice. Feel weird ordering a sandwich made in some dirty room behind the bar at other spots but having a separate sandwich area makes sense. There were some hip people and some rock n roll playing. read more

Legit big time sandwich. Great lunch draft special. Nice hole in the wall feel. I had the Italian, hot. Yum. Definitely will return. Staff really nice and welcoming. read more

Stopped in for a sandwich and a beer, great place full of locals. Nothing fancy, but great sandwiches and cool atmosphere. Say hello to super bartender "Billy Wayne"! read more

Great service, consistently tasty sandwiches, crazy good value. I eat here at least once a week.

A few weeks ago I went to Nashville for a soccer game. The day of the game we went to the game and ate lunch there. After both games we walked to the friends house where we were staying with some friends. After a quick shower we decided to go hit some bars. At the first bar we went to they had just closed the kitchen at like 10. What kinda bar does that? Anyway we went to dukes after the bad bar. It's definitely a hipster bar of a type. Nothing wrong with that. It was super crowded but still didn't take us long to order our food. I got a sandwich that was heated and had tons of awesome cheese on it. Holy crap was it good. After we ordered though we saw other options for different sandwiches that were not on the menu and I might have gotten one of those since there was one that sounded amazing (don't remember what one now). It did take a bit to get our drink orders in but that's more the fact of the crowd than the bars. read more

hands down one of the best sandwiches i have ever had. super big shout out to the guy busting his butt on thursday night making orders for 20 people. absolutely fantastic!!! read more
