Quite possibly my favorite bar in Nashville! This place has it all - from beer to whiskey, Foosball, pool table, darts, a jukebox, AND a patio! Seriously, I can't get enough of this place when I'm in Nashville. It's a dimly lit place. The women's restroom is so psychedelic with the lighting - I feel drunk every time I pee. Well, I quite possibly might be, but you get the gist. It's got a nice relaxed vibe and the service is great! I must mention they have 2 for 1's on Monday's ( and I think they said every weekday from a certain time) AND the jukebox is free until 8! Seriously, doesn't get any better than that! read more

Favorite bar, by FAR, in Nashville. Sometimes I don't even mean to go there and my car just seems to steer itself there. The first time we walked in the bartenders, Zack especially, was very genuine and friendly. The people who hang here seem to lack bad attitude as well. Great hang, let's keep it that way! Pretty outstanding jukebox, love the patio. read more

Mickey's ruuuuuules! My favorite place to be for happy hour or after working a late night. The bartenders are super attentive and if I may add, babely. They have a good combo of local craft beers and easy drinkers like Coors and Yuengling. Their whiskey selection is bangin. And they're reasonably priced! PLUS darts, pool, foosball, and a great patio. I don't know what Tripp E. is trippin on, but "the northern girl" with "the loud mouth" is actually a fantastic bartender. As someone in the industry, I really admire her! She does her absolute best to remember every person who comes into her bar, what they drink, what kind of music they like, where they work etc... and when I say she does her best, I mean she's actually REALLY good at it! She's everything I want out of a bartender. Ok, but really, the thing I love about Mickey's the most is that every time I go in there, I leave with new friends!! The environment is so friendly and open, and this is largely due to the awesome staff. It also helps that this is Nashville and people are just friendly, but I'm telling you guys, this place is special. Favorite bar, bar none (lol) read more

No frills, no bullshit, just awesome! I love that it's non-smoking. Fear not cancer fiends - there's a porch out back where you can get your medicine. The bar has a nice, clean setup, with two well placed TV's above the bar. Previous posts list out all the games, etc. Bartenders were all very friendly. Even met the owner, Andy. Seems like a cool guy! Drinks were fairly priced. This place just has a great vibe. I will definitely be back. read more

First time here since permanently moving to Nashville liked the vibe all up til this Marine and I were talking n I was telling him about my deployment in the National guard and the customer berated me and the bartended took the side of the marine...horrible will never come again not recommend it to anyone period read more

As the reviewer before me stated, nothing but good. It's simply lovely to have a dive bar in East Nashville that's smoke free away from 5 Points (and within walking distance from my house, no less!). Here are the reasons you should go: 1. Pool (only 50 cents a game!) 2. Free Darts 3. Jukebox 4. PAC-MAN 5. Fooseball 6. Inexpensive Drinks 7. Cute Patio in the Back I want to keep this place a secret for my own selfish reasons, but I can't deny my love for this place. THANK YOU, MICKEY! read more

great place for women without IDs! they don't check!! @nashvillepolice i was in town for work, my wallet had been stolen, but i had been told mickey's was the place to go for a cast and crew wrap party, so that's where i invited 40-some people. DAN the manager did not let me in without a physical ID, though i had photos of my passport and license in my phone. understandable. but then DAN the manager proceeded to let several women from my team in without an ID. when asked about the difference between a 36 year old goon like me and the two pretty girls he had let in without ID, he unfortunately didn't have a good answer. great bar to go to without ID if you are a young pretty woman! bad place to go to otherwise. DAN the manager will hook you up if you are a pretty girl younger than 36 without ID!! @nashvillepolice - EDIT - "rebecca" the owner (see below) was not present so i'm not sure how she got details. i know 2 women got in without IDs because they were with me and told me afterward when we went to dinner! i would not be posting shit at all about not being able to get into a place without an ID if not for this place's blatant inconsistency. but keep it up, seems like a popular place to go for all ages @nashvillepolice *****please note that "rebecca g" only checks ids on the weekend (see her previous comments) - ladies let's GO!!!@nashvillepolice read more

Cheap vodka soda, grilled cheese on bunny and a slow wind down before work on Monday morning. Once in a while Mickey's fits the bill just nicely and good for a small gathering. read more

My favorite bar in all of East Nashville! Smoke-free inside, juke box loaded with all the right tunes, and a dedicated dart area. 2 for 1 specials plus an attentive bar keep, even on busy nights, makes this place feel like home. read more

This is a solid dive bar with good vibes. There's a huge back porch area, and inside there are dart boards, a pool table, and arcade games. There's live music. The bartenders were cool, and the drinks were priced right. This bar is a local favorite in East Nashville. read more

I kept hearing, "You have to go to East Nashville." "East Nashville is where it's at." "East Nashville is the Brooklyn of Nashville." Stop it. There is not Brooklyn of Nashville. Or any Brooklyn of any other place for that matter. Mickey's does provide a Brooklyn feel though, amongst a very non Brooklyn area. After passing several douchey seeming bars, all that you have to, in the middle of what feels like mini malls converted into bars, we landed at Micky's. I dig the place. It had a good vibe, an awesome back patio, cheap liquor, and a top notch selection of beer. It was definitely a fun crowd, that knew how to not be intrusive in other people's business, but if warranted you could strike up a conversation with someone at a neighboring table. The plan was to stay there only for a bit, but we actually ended up staying several hours. It was so much fun we almost forgot about our anti-Semitic uber drive home. East Nashville may not be Brooklyn, but Mickey's reminded me of home. read more

Best neighborhood bar! Beer and booze + foosball + good jukebox + a patio The bartenders are friendly and always remember my name and my drink. So glad to have this spot in my neighborhood. read more

Its hard to beat Mickey's for me. Great staff and the vibe there is one of the best. Everyone seems to be down to play a game of darts, pool, or foosball as long as you ask nicely lol read more

You guys, I don't think this is a dive bar. If it is, it's the prettiest dive bar in America. I guess I always associate "dive" with places like the Springwater. Mickey's is not like that. And don't get me wrong, I like the Springwater just fine. There is a time for the Springwater, there's just..always time for Mickey's. Bartenders are nice and attentive (TIP THEM SO HARD) and drinks are cheap, so happy hour is very economical. There are fun activities like pool and 80's video games. There is a lovely patio outside. I will say that maybe the jukebox selections could use rotation. You'll always hear House of the Rising Sun like four times a night. Oh, I appreciate the ladies' can a great deal because the red light bulb makes me look amazing. Choice. So in summation: Mickey's is legit. I'll probably see you there later. read more

really cool local spot full of old regulars slingjn buds with their buds . Those wings tho man, DAmn tasty

I wanted to go ahead and update this. The owner of Mickey's immediately reached out to me and made things right. That really says a lot about the establishment and proves that they do care about their customers. I will definitely give them another shot! read more

I am a 68 year resident here and the people, service and good vibes at Mickey's are over the top. I'm hanging out there every day I can. I love Mickey's!!!!! read more

My friends and I were visiting from out of town and Mickey's was recommended by a few bartenders as a regular spot for them. Apparently these regulars are the only ones who get good service as the Sunday night bartenders were all very rude and not accommodating to us. They were short and had bad attitudes. One of the women stopped in the middle of my friend's order to get someone she knew a jager. Whiskey selection was average even though it was talked up by multiple people. I'd never recommend this place to anyone visiting as you'll be looked past for a regular. By far the worst service I've received in Nashville. read more

Awesome place, great atmosphere, customers, drinks, and darts! Patio outside, plenty of off street parking, nice place!

Hey Mickey's Your So Fine You Blow My Mind.So many residents have loved this place. And believe me it's hard to please the residents in Nashville with anything. You could do back flips give out free beer & rub their feet. They still wouldn't be happy. But the residents love Mickey's & it makes me very excited they actually are excited about something. Mickey's not only has a great spot on the East side but the patio has really brought life to the East Nashville Community. read more

i love this bar, and i would give it a five, but for the love of god get a cider other than strongbow. it's like drinking syrup, and for those of us who like dry ciders, it's a bummer to have that as the only option. i came here once and there was one dry cider...and it was amazing. and now it's gone. it's about as forward thinking as continuing to stock woodchuck. update: still diabetes-level cider - still don't care - gross yall, gross read more

This place is where you can come and be "home". The atmosphere is small town and the people that frequent the bar are welcoming. They have a panini press that's infused with magic that is hot until about midnight. The selection of beers are pleasing and never disappoint. They don't have one of those new fangled interweb jukeboxes, but one that has a hand picked selection of music that will only disappoint if you hate good music. Come to Micky's. It's the gem of E. Nashville. Come to Micky's to have a great time. read more

Do you like copper cups for your mosscow mules? Do you like pacman? Do you like lava lamps that look like they're 100 years old? Do you like red bathrooms where you can't see good enough to wipe? If you answered yes to at least two of these you're an odd duck depending on which two but there aint nothin wrong with weirdos! I liked this place. They had foosball. Bathroom not escapable. Also the door to the bathroom is in a busy area, so don't forget to lock the door like old Yvette! Whoopsie! Those kids got more than they bargained for! hastag poopsiewhoopsie. read more

Nothing but good. This is exactly what East Nashville needed. A real neighborhood bar with an attentive staff, great specials and chill atmosphere. You don't have to shout to have a conversation and the clientele is definitely on the friendly and relaxed side. The drinks are good with some unique liquor choices. The grilled ham and cheese I had was pretty much the topper to a really great experience. Got to talk to the owner for a minute. Super cool guy. read more

My go to for a game of darts. Good panini sandwiches. Great selection of drinks. Great jukebox. Bartenders are always friendly and I never have to wait to be noticed. Mickey's has nailed the perfect atmosphere on the head. Christopher Price Owner Price tree care read more

Bartenders with bad attitudes. Smells like the plumbing is backed up and the bar needs to be cleaned out. Restrooms are kind of gross. Patio is decent, although tends to have mostly smokers. It's definitely a dive and a toss up for who is working that night. We've had good experiences, but so many of the bartenders are just not happy to be there. read more

Not many people know that this place has a great collection of rare and fine scotch and whiskey in addition to its great repertoire of other well and tap drinks. In fact, this place sells more Buffalo Trace bourbon whiskey than the more trendy, hard liquor places in The Gulch (ie, Whiskey Kitchen), but Mickey's has even higher quality liquors! This place is not divey. In fact, it has an impeccably clean, smoke-free interior. People who associate this place with a dive bar are probably describing the dimly lit, largely wooden atmosphere that is actually more akin to Cheers. The outside back patio is covered and very spacious and a popular place for groups to congregate. There's a reason why Mickey's has been around for over 30 years. It may not look like it has much parking in the front, but there is actually a decently-sized parking lot in the back. The entrance to the lot is between Mickey's and Hop n Stop, so it can be hard to miss. Finally, the music selection on the jukebox-style CD changer is awesome and ever-rotating with the owner's impressive range of knowledge. If you are lucky enough to talk with him, likely during off hours, he is incredibly friendly and will give you an education in fine liquors and cool music. Seriously, if you find the atmosphere of the neighboring bar to be too hipster-y and their waitstaff to be too aloof, go inside and strike up a conversation with the friendly bartenders at Mickey's. It might just become your new favorite hangout. read more

Cool bar, one of my favorites in Nashville so far. Casual vibe, good juke box. I like the mirrors in the bathroom too. Spent new years here and it was sweet and kind of intimate. Not crazy like some bars. read more

Alright guys so I have been bartending for 10 years and I have had my experience with other bad bartender so I make excuses for bad service but I don't leave room for rude bartenders. I work off broadway of Nashville so I deal with crazy tourists and crazy customers but I have NEVER experienced such rude and terrible service in my life. I came to Mickys with my boss tonight for her birthday and Uncoincidentally I came here with a crew of bartenders and we were shocked and appalled by the treatment we received. After leaving the bartender a less then generous tip because of the rude service given I was approached by one of the members of the staff about the tip left. She asked if I was unhappy with the service which I told her I was but I wasn't going to get into it in front of my party. Directly afterwards the bartender abruptly came to the table with my guests demanding an explanation for his tip which I told him was bc of his service and told him I didn't appreciate his disrespect coming to our table like that. I will never come back to this establishment. The bartender should be ashamed of himself. read more

Yep, Mickey's is one of my favorite bars in East Nashville; and it's away from Five Points, so it has that going for it. (I usually find 5 Points to be too crowded and obnoxious.) It's totally unpretentious without being too divey. There's pool, darts, and a pretty good jukebox, complete with cheap drinks and friendly bartenders. I just love the community, neighborhood feel here! I always see someone I know when I hang out here. read more

Oh Mickey, you're so fine! My husband and I live within walking distance to Mickey's and we've actually only been a couple of times. I don't even know why though (I actually do and it's because we are generally hermits) but the drinks are much cheaper than most bars down in the five points area, even though I do like some of those bars. Another plus is there is NO SMOKING inside! There is nothing worse to me than coming home and smelling like cigarettes. Yuck! Nice outdoor seating as well. Makes me want to walk down there tomorrow and have a beer. read more

We got to stop here before we headed to the airport. They let us in to have our last Nashville experience. The back patio area is amazing and the juke box is free. Definitely worth stopping in, you can pay fuseball and pool too. Thank you!! read more

Went in on a Sunday and had 2 Buds and a double Jack for $9. New favorite East side bar for sure. Pretty small, but they have foosball, pool, and darts. Definitely worth the jaunt. No bull, just a bar. Lovely. read more

This is a perfect little dive bar right in the heart of east Nashville. They have a great (albeit small) selection of craft beer on draft and at great prices. There is fuse ball, pool, and darts along with a great outside area. read more

Top ten all-time favorite dive bars. Non-smoking. Great beer selection. A fine selection of interesting whiskeys. The owners are nice and go out of their way to learn your name. The crowd is always laid-back, friendly people. Surprisingly good food that they make behind the bar. I can't say enough about this place. Easily the best bar on the East Side. read more

Cool place. Eclectic crowd. Not a real dive bar but a good copy of one. They had a good jukebox but the music was so low you couldn't hear it. I would come back. read more

Da best! It's gonna be a place that I can bring my kids (whenever it is that I have them) and show them where memories were made!

Cool bartenders, no smoking inside, better than average beer and liquor selection, open late, close to home, decent parking, fried bologna sandwiches..... read more

Mickey's is my absolute favorite bar in Nashville. The owners take so much pride in their bar. The atmosphere is unpretentious (rare in East Nashville), the bar has a seriously good selection of whiskeys and bourbons (and everything else). Whenever someone comes into town this is our go-to place to hang out. There is a big sense of community also with the regulars, it really is a friendly environment. read more

The Bartender had an extremely bad attitude. We had one beer and left, did not feel welcome, and smells terrible.
