They offer the longest happy hour I've ever seen, from open till 7pm! Too bad Guinness is not included in the happy hour. They offer food too but I didn't get anything.

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.

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.

I've seen this spot through multiple iterations but the outdoor area, which features a variety of kitschy tables (covered and uncovered, fire pits and blankets in the cooler months, and extremely delicious wood-fired pizza courtesy of New York outpost Roberta's, make this a favorite spot for me. I love that I can meet up here with a large group and no reservations and there is something for everyone. Really tasty, reasonably priced cocktails or NA options, a great shareable food menu (the bee sting pizza and the pizza rolls are truly not to be missed!) It's also one of the rare spots I actually crave coming to when it gets a little chilly outside because the outdoor fire pits and flannel blankets make it such a cozy fall vibe! My book club often requests that we meet here when it gets s bit chilly since it's dog friendly and really easy for a small group to have their own space for a hangout. Parking on the street can get a bit busy during oral times, but I'm always able to find a spot within a block walking distance. Service is fast and friendly, and you never have to wait long to order, even if it is more crowded (as it can be in good weather days and weekends.) There is a covered indoor space if there's inclement weather, so you're not just limited to outside. This is truly an East Nashville classic and well lived by locals for a reason.

As soon as I descended the stairs and walked in there was a table with 3 older white gents, one had a black eye. It's pretty divey. I'm a brown guy and was the only brown person in the joint. Everyone was friendly. Had a good time. They advertise beer only and limited food (pizza, corn dogs, wings, chicken strips, burgers, pizza rolls). There's one cork dart board, one pool table, 4 tvs, and a bowling/golf machine, and a juke box. They sell scratch off lottery tickets behind the bar Feels like I hopped in a Time Machine to the early 90's. This place says it was established in 1978 and they haven't changed too much since. 8.5-9/10. *Be advised* This is a cash only establishment but there is an ATM on the premises with a $3 fee. It's worth it because the beer is cheap.

A 4 piece rock band from Florence, Al, drove over 2 hours, set up their equipment, played several sets of original music, that they wrote and composed, then they had to tear down their equipment and drive back home. They were received warmly by the audience. They were not paid ANY of the agreed-to compensation. The staff said it was because they were "short handed", but I don't believe they would accept that excuse if you went in there and ordered food and drinks and your wallet was a little "short". I think they should do the right thing & pay the boys. These guys kept up their end of the bargain , but the venue failed to do the same. If you know the management or the owner, please encourage them to do the what is right, in this situation. Things happen , but it's still not too late to send them what is due.
