Gracious! It's really not that hard folks. The genuine "I don't care if you're here or not" vibe is out there. It's pretty obvious they don't mind if you don't come back. It's consistently average on all fronts. But the service is the biggest reason for the score. The last time our group of six dropped came with a 30 minute waiting game until our server came and acknowledged us. She was really nice, but it seems like maybe they need more staff or better management/leadership. read more

On Saturday afternoon we stumbled upon the Neighbors/Local Taco Cinco de Mayo block party. Sweeeet! They closed off the back parking lot and they had a bar, snow cone table, corn hole and hired a band. Excellente! As much as I wanted to get down with the band we were there on a mission! What was that mission? To sit outside, grab a cold beer and watch the Kentucky Derby. This sounds easy but how many real porches or patios do you know that have TVs? I'll give you a moment to think. Besides the aforementioned pro they are also non-smoking on the inside. To me that's like plus a million stars. You've all heard my rant so I'll save you, but only this one time. Since the place is fairly new it's also very clean. Again, another HUGE plus. I haven't really dove into their menu too much but I do know they have a delicious smelling smoker in the back lot. I think I like the smell of BBQ more than BBQ itself. My writing teacher said I should always wrap things up at the end of an essay so here goes! The bar is perfect for the neighborhood it's in. It filled a void that was so desperately needed to be filled. Great job! Side note: I think you should open a Neighbors East next to the Rosepepper, Wild Cow, etc. It's a bar dead zone (sorry Fran's) and a Neighbors East would be a perfect addition to the area! read more

Great spot with a chill and friendly atmosphere. Jonny Mac is the man. Stellar service! Exceptional! read more

Neighbors - Pubs Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I first stumbled across this place by word of mouth. It's a great "pseudo" dive-bar in a more upscale area that has a fun, vibrant atmosphere with good, reasonably priced drinks. The food is typical of what you would expect in a bar (we got fried chicken tenders and nachos). Both were decent, but decent for "bar food". Go for the fun, the drinks and if you drink enough, the food! read more

We came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon after our original plan for Hattie B's was thwarted by a huge line of people. This place was rated well and I heard good things from other people, so I was game. You can enter either the front or the back of the building. They've got patio seating up front, then a enclosed patio with an outdoor bar. We sat inside as it was 95 degrees out, on a humid day. The sign says 'seat yourself' so we did. The server who greeted us, gave us a brunch menu and a run-through of the drink specials. That was about all she said during the lunch. The service didn't seem to be too Neighborly (if you'll pardon the pun). I think this is the kind of place that you come here 3 times a week, the staff might be a little more friendly. The server we had was more friendly to the locals than us, in my opinion. I ordered the quesadilla with chicken ($10.50), and cole slaw as the side. We also got the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad as a side ($10.50). The food didn't too long. The quesadilla came with sour cream, salsa and bbq sauce. It was an ok chicken quesadilla. The pulled pork had a lot of bbq sauce on it. The cole slaw is a vinegar based type, very light. The food was average bar food to me. We paid and left, I doubt we will be back as it wasn't a very inviting place. read more

See all

Great beer selection and above average pub food. The remodeling that took place really eliminated crowding. However, the main gathering are does get crowded. They could of done so much more with this place. I am upset they got rid of the Golden Tee machine. I don't visit often for this simple reason. But would recommend anyone looking for a beer near sylvan park stop here. read more

A great bar atmosphere. Late night food was good and drinks were ok. I loved the Soulful music that was playing. And the staff was very friendly with great suggestions. read more

Give me a night at Neighbs or give me death. Welcome yourself to the neighborhood with wings, and ribs! Butt don't miss the tater salad! Deviled! read more

I'm a Nashville native who grew up in Sylvan Park, was an avid supporter of neighborhood business, worked in multiple establishments in the neighborhood..including Jacks Market. Neighbors was my after work, recommend a friend, watch a Preds game, see a friendly face, go-to bar. After moving away a little over a year ago I always make sure when I come home to visit my family that Neighbors is on my list. I've been drinking there and supporting that business since it opened. After the tornado, visiting and supporting Neighbors this trip was intimately important to me and I'm truly sad to say that I will never walk in there ever again. Last night, at last call, the GM who I've seen many many times, instead of calmly asking patrons to leave was screaming at us, asking us if we were deaf, I heard her yelling from the bathroom. When I confronted her and said there was no need to act nasty and unprofessional, she, and the other bartenders (whom I had just tipped easily 30%) told me they didn't care. Sarah looked at my face and told me to "get the fuck out." I live in New York and people don't talk to me like that. I've been in the service industry most of my life. I've had to kick unruly, stubborn, don't want to leave, people out of many bars and have never spoken to a patron that way. I've never needed to. I'm sad that the establishment allows this type of or lack of managerial skills. Needless to say, my friends, who were so happy to be visiting with me who are "regulars" were also completely unhappy with the way I was yelled at and mocked that they will also not be returning. It's disheartening to be treated that way in a bar that used to feel like home. Talking to customers like that is not an effective way to gain community support. I hope in the future your staff understands that there are more respectful ways to treat people who are ultimately there supporting them. read more

Neighbors is very good for a local pub in Nashville! Many Sylvan Park locals can be seen and talked to daily at this local pub. Stop in for a quick beverage and sample platter of food chicken, mozzarella sticks and fried pickles should fill up 3 men! Very mellow atmosphere with great staff to help with any request that might be needed. Most of the staff have worked at Neighbors for years so treat them well! Stop in to watch a football game on many of their TVs! read more

Great service!! Very friendly staff, it's a nice neighborhood place. The patio is really relaxing in the evening.

Worst service ever! Literally any time I come here there is awful service inside and out. Sucks and is super frustrating

Neighbors is what it claims to be. A neighborhood bar. It smells a little of spilled beer and stale cigarettes (no smoking inside though). Good people watching. Good service. Cheap pitchers of beer. Drink specials (we were there just before Christmas and they had a dangerously alcoholic thin mint drink for the holiday...it was good). Cleanest bar in Nashville? Definitely not. But aren't there enough hipster bars with $12 margaritas in Nashville now? I'm glad Neighbors is around to offer something different! Only real cons? Bathrooms dirty and small and the music was too loud (I lost my voice shouting across our table for hours). I sound like an old lady, but I'm a millennial. But seriously, the music is too loud. read more

sat at a table for over an hour with no service. had to go to the bar to order drinks. asked multiple servers if we could order and they kept pushing us off and asking if we knew who our server was. obviously we didn't since no one would take our order. very disappointed in Neighbors. Sara was the one who said she would find our server and then 30 minutes later another server apologized for no one coming to help us. this server asked Sara if she was taking care of us and Sara said it wasn't her table. WELL WHO'S TABLE IS IT? AWFUL service. and I usually love this place so I am beyond frustrated. I recommend trying someone else. not worth it when none of the servers want to take your order. and then had the AUDACITY to charge me for a honey mustard after we waiting an order just to get a sweet potato fry and tator tot order. read more

This is a fun spot! Good munchies and friendly staff. Go to the small bar and see Ashleigh she will take good care of you! Fun times!

Update - OK its been 2 years since I wrote my original review of Neighbors. I am happy to say that it's only improved. I liked it it so much I bought a house in the neighborhood. Seriously. It's a great bar, cold beer and all that, but their food...Damn. I have infected so many of my visiting out of town friends with their food that the first thing they say to me when I pick them up at BNA is "Is Neighbors open?" I walk down there and eat so many chicken wings each week that my neighbor Jer says soon I'll be able to fly home. You MUST try the chicken wings. Don't worry you will not look like a gnawing neanderthal! They are so consistently tender and moist the meat literally falls off the bone. Their special smoky spicy (similar to jerked) flavor is unlike anything else in town. (Damnit Jer I'm slobbering again) And of course the tacos are amazing! Hands down the best in town. (Sorry all you "taco" places, so sad) The beef brisket and/or smoked turkey tacos are especially to die for. I will agree with another reviewer that the beers lean to the hoppy side. Which I love. Any expansion of the beer list is always appreciated. At any rate, congrats guys after 2 yrs your still doing a great job! I just really couldn't ask for a better bar in my backyard. read more

I first went to Neighbors on a Friday night. In order to appreciate this experience, I have to backtrack to my friend's visit the previous Monday. He and some guys were having a pretty good time and discussing the beer selection and complained that the only beer they would want and didn't have was Natural Light. The waitress promised them the next time they came in that they would have Natural Ice. My friends had never been there before and so the waitress had no reason to think they would return, so they didn't think about it. On Friday, the same waitress sees my friend, remembers and serves us Natty Light all night at 2 dollars a pop. She had gotten it just for him. Awesome service. Also, we are sitting at a table near the band which was pretty enjoyable and at a good volume playing covers from the 60s-90s. The atmosphere is relaxed with most people sitting at their high tables conversing. The guitarist plays "Johnny B Goode." Most people just continue their conversations, but since I hadn't heard the song in a while, I started getting into it. He finishes playing and says "I guess you weren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it." i'm guessing my table was the only one who caught the back to the future reference, but I thought it was awesome. Tips and requests started coming from us after this small act of awesomeness. So, friendly atmosphere, great people, and an entertaining band made this a great overall Friday night at Neighbors. read more

I've been waiting/hesitating to review this place because each of my four experiences there have been completely different... They've ranged from 5-star to 1-star quality, so I'm settling on 3. The common element between my visits was slow/sketchy service. I'm hoping this is just because they're still relatively new. A couple of times they were out of many menu items (and the menu isn't that big) and one time there was a bug floating in my beer when they brought it to me... Negatives aside, it's a cool little place in a convenient location (location is the main reason I've been back after so many 'meh' experiences). I'm stubborn, so I will keep going back until they've been open longer and get their act together (hopefully). read more

Albeit small, this place has a large heart. We went here after all of our kickball games in 2012 and always had a blast. Great beer selection (even the sometimes rare strawberry Abita in the summertime) and the servers are all so nice. THE FOOD IS GOOD TOO!! They have some of the best barbecue in the city- in my opinion. Great smoky flavor and tender meat. I am partial to either the barbecue nachos or the quesadilla. Both good choices ALWAYS. Sometimes it's just nice to find a good neighborhood bar. read more

Nice little straightforward neighborhood pub. Tiny inside, but with a nice covered patio out back. I imagine that this will be a very welcome addition to the sylvan park area and it was already doing a very nice business on the Sunday afternoon that I stopped by. They do not have a huge selection of food, but there are some sandwiches and snacks and the beer is cold. The service was attentive and the price was right, I will definitely add it to my list of go-to patio spots for a cold beer. read more

"Todaybor-Day is Neighbor-Day" So I've seen this place crowded and I've seen it empty. I've tasted the smokey wings. I've popped in here after golf and I wooed a lady here. I've seen some shit here. And you know what? I'm happy about that. It's cool, it's great. But it's the sort of place that's a background to events in my life. I have very specific memories of this location, and almost none of them are life-changing. Perhaps someone will shatter their life here on a Saturday night or have their 21st birthday here. But I doubt it. And that's totally cool. This place is here to stay, and it's inoffensive and gets the job done. Neighbors is what it says. It's a local. It's where you would come to find some folks from around here and a few from far away who are passing through. It's worth visiting once if you're looking for a low-key evening and a decent meal. You ever sized the day? You ever just appreciate a summer's day? I could picture coming to Neighbors on Labor Day and sitting on the patio and feeling alive. Or I could picture having a beer here and never thinking about it again. The choice is yours, and isn't it great that this kind of place exists? read more

After waiting what seemed like a long time, maybe 5 minutes, for the server to come by, the young lady said "you want something to drink?" Why else would I come? Not a friendly attitude. Had 1 and left. My first time there, it looked like it might be a decent place. But with Edley's BBQ & McCabe's Pub across the street, may not give them another chance. read more

This little restaurant/bar has very slowly won me over. Emphasis on very slowly. At our first meeting in Spring 2012, I was somewhat thrilled at the prospect of moving to Sylvan Park and having a late night place so close by for a beer or two. As Sheena notes in her review, "within stumbling distance" from home. Over time I lost my enthusiasm for Neighbors, and opted to only visit when with friends that absolutely love the place, or when I just wanted a quick beer before calling it a night. I have not been, and am still not wild about their food. Although, their deviled potato salad is quite good when I'm in the mood for a side of comfort food. The ribs are decent - but I'm no expert on such (they do smoke them onsite), the guacamole is made in house, and their caprese salad isn't bad either - except for the way it's served. Using a basket with a paper liner isn't ideal when balsamic vinegar is involved, as I don't particularly care to get my fiber through disintegrated paper. The beer selection is hit or miss for me. If you love hoppy beer, then their selection caters more to your taste than mine. Although rumor has it they will be offering Octoberfest soon, which I dig. With all these "mehs", you ask how did they win me back over? I think their dog friendly patios (yep, front and back) is what did it. My terrier and I recently lost a member of our four-legged crew, which has prompted me to take him out on the town more often. We both seem to enjoy the time away from home, and this is a great place to do it. read more

Good things do come in a small package. I believe Realtors call it "cozy", but it's a small pub with a lot to offer. The Neighbors Pub has a wide variety of cold beer in bottles, cans and six taps. At the time of my visit one tap produced a wonderful high gravity IPA. The menu is a handful of pub standards so, in keeping with that theme, I order the wings. My choice was medium or "melt your face off" I chose the latter. (checking) nope. Face still here ( with all it's charms) but it was spicy. The thing that set these apart from the standard wings was that they were dry rubbed and smoked. Very nice! The sides were good as well; Smokey red beans and cinnamon apples. There are flat screens above the bar if you want to watch sports or need a conversation starter to talking to the locals. Drop by and enjoy a beer and the cozy charm. read more

I managed to hit this place a little before the official opening, I heard the following "this place is like Coyote Ugly, I can't get any damned water" as the person who took his request for water passed for the third or forth time. He eventually left without it and a mouthful of complaints. I needed food so I went across the street as they didn't have food or liquor ready yet. It looks like it's going to be something pretty neat, unfortunately it shares the parking nightmare everything in this area does. So, for a place that really isn't quite ready and is awaiting food and liquor, it's a nice little get-in-before-it-becomes-THAT-place. read more

This is the best neighborhood bar we could ask for in Sylvan park. Good beer selection, food is good For the price and dive bar vibe. The only downside is parking but there is a lot in the back and street parking available. read more

This place is totally fine. The service is pretty good, not great. They consistently don't wait for you to look at the menu before asking what you want, which is fantastic if you're one to order the same thing every time. I will only sit outside here. The indoor space is cramped, and you can't help but always feel like you're in someone's way. The aroma of smoked meats is enticing, and it's easy to get carried away on the menu. The portions are substantial; my fiance and I shared the brisket tacos and chicken wings, and it was too much food for both of us. I didn't prefer the unconventional approach to wings--dark brown and super smoky--but I can see how that appeals to some. I wish the tacos had come with a tangy sauce or lime wedge to cut the heaviness, but they were fine, and so was the potato salad. I have to say I was disappointed to see NO BURGERS on the menu, as well as a lack of interesting/fresh sides. Possibly zero vegetarian options. I don't go to bars for my vitamins and minerals, but I like having a little tiny bit of variety in my choices. This is a good place to go when we're already in the area and looking for a relaxed, low-key option during the warmer seasons. Signature drinks: I tried the bushwacker here recently, and I have to say it's delightfully strong. On the other hand, the Titans Tea is, perhaps expectedly, way too sweet. read more

This is a pretty decent place in a neat area. A few friends and I decided to drop by here for some dinner and drinks before going out for the night. It's definitely more of a dive type atmosphere, and the inside isn't very large at all. I saw the patio in the front and one of my friends also told me there was another one in the back. (Neither were open because it was February and kinda chilly) I can't comment on their beer selection because I was the DD that night, but it seemed like a fairly decent selection from what I saw. Although it didn't really have anything special that any other bar wouldn't have. They have a small selection of food (no burgers, which I was surprised about) and pretty decent prices. I opted to go for the pulled pork quesadilla with a side of cole slaw. The slaw was decent, a little watery for my taste though. My friends had pretty good reviews for the potato salad, but I didn't get to try it. The pulled pork had a nice, smoky flavor and in a quesadilla with barbeque sauce? I'll take it! Although it was nothing more than cheese and pork, it was still perfect before going out for the night. This seems to be a pretty nice neighborhood bar and a pretty relaxed environment (which I prefer when drinking). Definitely a place to check out if you're looking for a casual place to relax and have a few drinks. read more

Awesome place for some casual drinks and good bar food. The patio area is very nice on a sunny day!

I go here almost every Wednesday night for Karaoke. The drinks are 2 for 1 and the guys that do Karaoke are really fun and friendly. I really enjoy it because, unlike every other karaoke opportunity in Nashville, no one really sings country music here!! I also visit this bar every Thursday because they sponsor my Kickball League. The staff take great care of our group. We are a pretty large group for such a small place, but we manage to fit just perfectly with the covered patio area out back, and the open patio area out front. The food is pretty decent for bar food. They allow dogs in the establishment, which can be cool sometimes, but I also dont know how I feel about dogs running around somewhere I eat. The parking is not so great, but always somehow seems to be just enough. Overall, I really enjoy the place :) read more

This place is totally a neighborhood dive. And by dive, I mean that it's the kind of place that always has an open seat, a cold beer, and a friendly yet sarcastic bartender behind the bar. And I couldn't be more in love with the place! It is awesome! Just to make matters better - their craft beer list is small but perfect. Something for everyone, and just the right amount so you don't need long to choose. I drank a pumpkin beer and ordered the wings, hearing that they were the best from other Yelpers. I didn't know they were going to be the BEST WINGS OF ALL TIME. WHAT! SERIOUSLY! The. Best. Do yourselves a favor - try these wings!!! Or better yet, do me a favor and don't go here ever so that I can always grab a seat at the bar...more wings for me! Cheers!! read more

What can I tell you that the name doesn't already say. It is a local small joint located in the heart of Sylvan Park; it is small compact, filled with regulars and you can walk to it! Food is good, drinks are right and the atmosphere is casual. read more

Great spot! Cheap drinks, fast service, and delicious food. It's definitely the divey neighborhood bar you will love. There is an indoor and outdoor bar for whatever mood you are in. The live music is also a huge plus it's not too loud so you can still hold a conversation, and they always have talented musicians. Hopefully will become a regular soon. read more

Fun intimate atmosphere with Justin Adams & Trent Baren performing (they get a 5).

Such a great quintessential neighborhood pub! I loved the the vibe of this place. I went there for lunch while visiting my daughter at Belmont last week. There was a ton of natural light yet it felt close and intimate. Everyone seemed to know each other which was great. Food was delicious. The fried pickles were some of the best I've had. Portion sizes were large and the servers were beyond accommodating. If I lived in Sylvan Park, this would be a regular hang out for sure. read more

Great place with multiple televisions for your viewing pleasure. The staff is amazing. It gets busy quite often and they haven't ever let my drink (or pitchers) run dry. Great place!! Highly recommend for criers or a seat at the friendly bar. read more

One of my fav's! It's close to my house, and they have a great beer selection. They have two patios, and you can choose to take it in the front, or take it in the back! Nice little neighborhood joint. If business is good, they stay open later, if not they sometimes close early. Just depends. read more

I have visited four times over the same number of weeks. The same experience on each visit...AWESOME !!! The atmosphere is great and the staff is as good as the food which, is great! Greeted immediately each visit with a welcome and smile. I went for the veggie burger which is top notch. Candace recommended a switch option when I showed up during brunch. She like the rest of your staff is so engaging and welcoming. Makes you want to go back. Food, service atmosphere. In my book you can maybe come short on one and still be a winner. You guys knocked out all three!!! read more

Food was good, beer was good. It's a great spot to go watch football. BUT they falsely advertised prices on their menu. I ordered wings from them on 10/29/20 at 7:30 p.m and the menu said $16 for 12 wings. When I got my bill they were a dollar extra. I'm not saying the one dollar is that big of a deal BUT not honoring the prices on your menu and just hoping someone doesn't catch mistake is the wrong way to run a business. When I caught the mistake the waitress said "sorry we haven't changed the menus prices yet but they went up due to Covid, I can't do anything about it."All that I am saying is you can't put one price in front of me let me order the food and then charge me something different. Very unethical way to do business... read more

Been to Neighbors a bunch. Tonight was by far the worst service I've ever had. I ordered a beer and 30 minutes later no dice. When I asked for my bill they tried to charge me for the beer I never received. The moral of the story is check your bill. I caught them trying to charge me for the beer I never got, so huzzah for me. I'll go back for sure, but they're on probation. As a side note, my previous visit was awesome so this is mainly just to put them on blast for a night of shitty service. read more
