Stopped in while visiting Nashville for work. Honestly seemed like a dirty college bar. Plenty of space to hang with your friends. Live music even on a Monday night. Overall the cost of a bottle beer being almost 10 dollars was ridiculous. The service left a lot to be desired read more

Losers Bar and Grill - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Losers BAR & Grill is always a pitstop when I'm in Tennessee. I love that they have different musician playing each time we go there and they never disappoint with their artist. And of course, one drink two drink five drink never hurts anyone read more

The service was good. The women's bathroom was disgusting. When I told the bartender she acted like is was no big deal. Please have them acknowledge their patrons!! read more

Losers Bar & Grill embraces its dive bar identity. It's not polished or upscale, but that's exactly what makes it appealing. The crowd is diverse--locals, tourists, and music lovers--which makes it a fantastic spot for people-watching. The wait staff and bartenders are quick and attentive, even when the place gets busy. Reviews highlight that while some staff interactions can be hit-or-miss, most guests appreciate the fast drink service and friendly energy.Live music is a big draw here. Super intimate and close watching bands, authentic Nashville honky-tonk feel. Basic bar food not super expensive--burgers, wings, fries, and nachos are staples. Drinks range from draft beer to moonshine, with plenty of whiskey options. It's not gourmet dining, but it hits the spot for a night out. read more

a vibeee for live music! Drinks are delicious and the bar tenders are always on point. Service is great !! One of my go-to's now!! read more

Awesome laid back atmosphere with talented performers and excellent service from bartenders and wait staff. My favorite dive bar. Much more relaxed and chill than anything overhyped on Broadway! read more

I LOVE country music and had such a blast stopping by Losers with a few coworkers. There's several different live stages with basic drinks at the bar. The semi-outdoor venue was my favorite, since inside got too crowded. Definitely an average-feeling dive bar, but the vibes were spectacular, especially after a few shots of tequila. read more

We love losers!! The losers band is THE BEST. And really know how to get a crowd GOING. The bar itself is great too. Quick service and even has ice cream! read more

This was the first establishment my boyfriend and I walked into, never been to Nashville before. And as a bartender myself, this was single handily the worst service we've received. Kelly scoffed when my boyfriend ordered an LIT, and I got shorted on my crown and coke! Maybe their singles are less than 1 oz? But we received better attitude once she saw we tipped her $20 lol. Not sure if it's cause we're not regulars or because we're in our early 20s but we've never felt so unwelcome in a bar. read more

I stumbled upon this place while looking for something that was close to Broadway but not in the craziness of Broadway. I drove past a couple of rows of bars and heard live music coming from this place and decided to stop and see it in person. There's plenty of parking on the street or in the adjacent parking areas so it was easy to park and pop in without any hassle or traffic. I walked in and it's a nice size venue with an outside area and inside which is smaller but that is where the live music is coming from. The singer and band playing that night was awesome, I believe the singer was named Chris and the set got people having a great time. I came alone and was able to find seats next to a group of people who were super nice and in town exploring. If you're looking for a great place to see live music any day of the week this is your place! Great ambiance and great music! read more

Classic little dive bar -- nothing fancy, just great live music, cheap drinks, and a crowd that knows how to have a good time. Bartenders were great. read more

So there are two bars located next to each other Winners and Losers and this joint is the one for "Losers" but you can certainly go next door with the "Winners" whenever you're ready. During my visit they had live music with a cool band playing. They also have a nice patio you can also enjoy to have a change in ambiance. The bartenders all seemed to be very quick and efficient at taking care of customers and this was a nice joint even though it is for "Losers" or maybe "Winners" checking out the other side. Overall this is a fun spot and a nice live music venue. read more

If you're looking to get away from the hokey-ness of Broadway and want an authentic Nashville music experience, this is your place. Open air seating with basic mixed drinks & beers, and two different stages/rooms for music. Have been twice and the talent the singers have is amazing. read more

Great time at Losers Bar after a Vandy dub! We loved how they served Happy Dads here! read more

After landing at BNA after midnight, the girls and I decided a drink was in order so we took to Yelp to find a spot walking distance to our Airbnb. Losers came up first, so off we went! Let's just say it's your average bar but makes for one hell of a good time! ++ No cover ++ Cheap(ish) drinks ++ Friendly staff ++ LIVE music always! ++ Fun vibes and room to dance ++ Indoor and outdoor space It didn't take much to make us happy and Losers did just that! read more

Losers was borderline the worst bar experience I have ever had. Quite literally had it not been for the smoke being alright, and Sheduer Sanders saving Cleveland I would have left much quicker than I did. There were two bartenders standing in front of me for at least an hour and not once was I asked if I wanted a beer, water, or food. I literally didn't even know they had food there until someone walked up and asked if they could order food. Like dude I'm smoking right in front of you I would've bought fries at the minimum had you asked. Wild experience, decent smoke. Maybe put the weird old guy bartenders upstairs. read more

We loved the atmosphere and the music, the hospitality and service was also top notch. The food was exactly what we expected.

My first tim in Nashville. Here with a couple friends. China and the bar staff were great, even when it was busy and shoulder-to-shoulder at the bar. The music was great. Don't know the name of the band that was playing. The only negative of the night was Corbin/Corbyn. He dumped my bucket of beers when I wasn't finished and acted like it was my fault. He developed an attitude. Fortunately, China at the bar made it good, but Corbin/Corbyn was a dick. Great place except for the one guy. read more

Ran into Post Malone here randomly on a Thursday night. Five stars just based on that, but also the bartenders and security were very pleasant to my husband and I. Saw some comments about security being rude, we did not experience that. Maybe because we didn't show up piss drunk and offend everyone but hey, that's just us. Would def return, even without Post Malone. read more

Losers Bar and Grill - Post Malone - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

"Manager" kicked a friend out after he was grabbing another girl in our group. Friend told him to leave her alone and he said "I will kick you out." Sure enough, the bouncers kicked us out. Disgusting! The manager was trying to grab on a younger woman that was not interested in him..... then had the audacity to get the bouncers to make us leave! The only thing that happened was our friend saying "don't touch my friend!" Ridiculous that she was escorted out because of that. The manager should've been reprimanded! Overall disgusting behavior... sad bc we used to love this bar. read more

Super casual. Good basic food. Great music. Outside of the crazy lower Broadway scene, which I appreciated, but has a similar vibe (they also have a bar down there as well). read more

Not our favorite spot due to the lack of seating, subpar drinks, and below average atmosphere. I'd describe it as off the beaten path. I've been in the afternoon and in the late evening (both on weekends) and both times it wasn't too crowded. It's a good place if you want "Broadway vibes" without actually being on Broadway. They have an alcoholic juice box. This was a fun thing to try, and it was very sweet and sugary, as expected. They also have serve-it-yourself popcorn machine, which was yummy. read more

Losers Bar and Grill - a view of the outside - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

They only have bottled beer on property, which was kind of a bummer to pay $6 for a Corona they opened. We went on a random afternoon so it wasn't too packed, but I've heard it can get crazy. There was live music, a guitar duo who was there for several hours. They were taking requests and set the vibe. read more

Maybe you should let people sit at the bar, even if you aren't a regular. How rude. 2 drinks were $24 at a dive bar. read more

Losers Bar and Grill - A bar that you can't sit at unless you are a regular. - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Stopped in on a midtown bar crawl, and it's definitely the least welcoming bar in this area of the city. There aren't a ton of seating options, the bartenders aren't friendly, it isn't cute inside, and the vibe can only be described as bad. With so many other options in the city, there's just no reason to go here read more

My friend and I went to Bridgestone Arena Saturday night. Before we went in, we stopped at Losers Bar. We got 2 beers each and then realized we were going to be late for the show, so we didn't close our tabs. Stupid, I know!! My complaint is that the bar keeps charging my card. $148 for two beers!! I called yesterday to speak to the manager, and he rudely spit off all the charges. 2 Michelob Ultras(which were mine), 2 PBRs and some shots. The PBRs and shots were definitely not mine nor my friends. I looked at my account again this morning, and they have charged 248 more dollars!! When I spoke to the manager yesterday, he basically said there's nothing I can do about it. Typically, if you leave a tab open, they close it with a 20% tip. Not the case with the Losers at this place. read more

Losers is a great option for those who may feel suffocated by any of the bars a block away on the main Broadway strip. It's still touristy and can get crowded, but not as much so in either department. I like to think of it as "Broadway light." We walked in after the crowd became too much a block away and my friend is a local so he recommended it. It's a smaller bar that often features great music on the right night and, like almost any bar around here, prides itself on having multiple levels (at least three, I believe). I was ignored for a long while at the upper bar while the bartender catered to a pretty gal and despite it being a slow night, even for a Saturday. My drink was overpriced for what I got. The guitarist was very talented on the top floor and brought all the hits plus some old school country. I liked the upper deck because it was a chiller environment. All in all a solid option and not a loser by any means! read more

Losers Bar and Grill - people walking down the sidewalk - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great place for live music and decently priced drinks that's off the main downtown area so it's more chill. Probs my #1 music recommendation for anyone visiting, especially if the honky tonk mania isn't what you're seeking read more

Kinda dirty. Greasy food. Definitely a dive, go there if your goal is to get drunk only

We typically stay downtown and always hangout on Broadway, but we decided to stay in midtown this time. Losers Bar was a block from our hotel so that's where we went right after checking in to our hotel. We arrived around (late) lunchtime so we went in to grab a bite to eat. It was pretty empty so we were served immediately. My husband got the catfish meal and I got the Nashville hot chicken tenders meal. Both were excellent. After finishing our meal we walked into the side bar where they had live music. There was a good crowd in there so we hung out for a while. We ended up chatting with some people and we all went to the main bar area where the house band was playing. They were EXCELLENT and the crowd was crazy! It was like being down on Broadway. Despite the packed crowd the bartenders were really quick to refill drinks. We were having such a great time that we stayed all night! We would absolutely come back again! read more

Great joint. Simply GREAT. Reason alone for going in would be all these one-star-review Kens and Karens who feel like because the bouncers don't swoop to kiss their asses this place somehow doesn't deserve their presence. Hey Trixie, Biff:: there's a shithole called Kid Rock's where you'll fit right in. Go there. This place: great music. Fast bartenders. Strong drinks. A great place to go. , read more

Average honky-tonk bar. Did have a live band both nights that was pretty good. Most beer as about $6 a bottle and mixed drinks were $11, which in my opinion was a little over priced for size. Whiskey Jam is located beside here and has the same owners. Like I said average bar read more

Worst bar experience ever. Four of us near 70 went here for drinks, food and good times. We ordered a round of drinks and some nachos while waiting for two other couples. I was just ordering another round of drinks when the bars manager I assumed said we had to leave, we ask why and they said because we were not tipping. I have never in my 69 years ever tipped before I'm finished. I normally tip 20 to 25 %. But not after every drink. We had been to dozens of bars in Nashville and were treated above average we had very pleasant experiences on Nashville, but not this place. We came to Nashville to see Kenny Chesney, we bought tickets 3 years ago and finally made it. This was our worst experience in Nashville. Not to mention my Vet friend was enjoying the Memorial Day weekend. Is this the way you treat your Vets. Shame on you Loser's Stay away from this place go some where that treats you nice read more

Small bar with live music. Wasn't crowded like the big name places. Mixed drinks are very expensive and come in a small plastic cup. It was $39 for three of us to each get a small mixed drink but I guess that's to be expected in downtown Nashville. The bartender was friendly. read more

This was one of my first stops on my solo pub crawl and was semi offended when I saw my one well cocktail at 3 in the afternoon on a Wednesday cost about $12. By far the most expensive drink in the area. It was my first and last drink at Losers. At least the bartender and bouncer were cool. read more
