GREAT burger!! Service was top notch! Off of Broadway so not crazy busy! Entertainment was perfect!! Highly recommend!!!

Old, hole in the wall place, just off Broadway. Good prices on drinks, friendly servers. Not too crowded, which is great by me. Probably less busy because it's off the main strip and doesn't have a big name in front of it, also fine by me. Saw some great musicians while there and the rooftop is cool too! Try the deep fried Oreos! read more

In a city area that feels more like a theme park - I call it Drunken Disney - it is nice to find an oasis where you can still hear originals. Got some footage of Ms. Maddox who is here fairly regularly. The building itself is the oldest in downtown Nashville. AJs is the oldest on Lower Broad itself (1862), but this one has been around since 1820. It was originally a shop and a residence, which was typical in this period. Years back this was occupied by Pancho & Lefty's, which is now in Sylvan Park. Teddy's opened when they moved in 2023 (March 15 to be exact). The business is operated by The Nations Brewing company, which explains their primary beer choices - Nations owns Fat Bottom Brewing, Music City Beer Co., and Brvazzi Hard Italian Soda. Enough history, let's talk about Lefty's. This spot is off the main drag by about 50 feet, just far enough the prices drop a few bucks per drink. They claim to have the best burger on Broadway. I am not sure if it is the best or not, but they do make a solid burger. Weighing in at $17, it is a 6 oz burger with Tillamook Sharp Cheddar on a Potato bun. Definite win. Today, I just had a bowl of chili, while she had a house salad with grilled chicken added on top. I think they overdo the cheese on the salad, but I would still have the salad again some time. Grilled chicken is very nicely done. The chili is fairly pedestrian, but has a nice flavor. I would say these are just average, so going for the burger is a good option. As for the drinks, in downtown, where $8-$12 domestics are the norm, it is nice to see local craft as low as $5. The other spot in the Lower Broad area worth checking out is Broadway Brewhouse. I live downtown, so will definitely return. I actually prefer brews other than Fat Bottom, but having a cheaper beer with good music? A win in my book. read more

I'm biased cause I have the same name! Beers = good selection Vibe/entertainment= down to Earth tunes with local talent Ambience= excellent character, sort of had a local feel to it right off the Nashville strip. Overall, I've had a great vibe to it and was a good place to grab a beer right off the strip. I'm not sure it was much cheaper than any other place but still friendly people great music. read more

Sign outside said best burger on Broadway, had to give it a try. Both of us had burgers, normally served medium rare, we went with medium. Both were cooked as requested, juicy and flavor full. Came with cottage fries, which were good. Service was fast and friendly read more

10/10. I celebrated my birthday on the second floor with ~40 people. The food was so good!! (Brisket, stuffed peppers, mac and cheese, salad). It was super easy to set up the event with Iris. We were able to play our own music and project to TV with help from Jess, and our bartender was amazing :). After the three hours were over. We went upstairs for 10mins while they cleaned and came back for karaoke. It was the best time!! read more

Quant atmosphere, great music. Best burger I've had in a long time! Will definitely come back.

Teddys tavern is a great spot right off broadway! One of the bars in the area that you can actually sit down and have a great meal. Big menu with plenty of tasty items. I had their spin on a hot chicken sandwich which was great. We tried their house margarita as well which was hand crafted by the very knowledgeable bartender. Great ambiance, live music, fun spot! read more

Such a cool spot to hang out and grab a drink before a Preds game or a concert at Bridgestone Arena. The main floor can get pretty packed and loud, but the second floor is way more chill if you're looking for a quieter vibe. We love coming here for drinks and bites! Last time we went, they gave us Predators-themed towel rags since we were wearing our Preds gear before the game- thought that was such a cool thing to do. I'm obsessed with their chicken tender basket (so good!) and their Italian soda spritz -- they usually only have it on weekends, but it's worth trying if you catch it. Great beer selection too! read more

Quaint place that serves a very good cheeseburger. Menu is not very big, but the beer is very cold. Service was great!

Good spot right across from Bridgestone Arena. They have a downstairs bar and a rooftop, it definitely gets busy no matter where you are! There's a good selection of beer and cocktails. We liked the sloppy joe and the hot chicken sandwich! read more

This place was "okay-ish" First and foremost, service was horrible. Sat on the rooftop and never got anyone to come help us after 20 min. Had to walk over and place my food and drink order at the bar to get service. Food overall was good, the chicken sandwich was pretty damn good, however I could tell it has been sitting for a min. Bun was soaked in oil and chicken was lukewarm. Would have treated better if I got it fresh I'm assuming. Nachos were garbage (fries, beans, cheese, and meat?) better of getting some chilli cheese Fritos from the ice cream truck. Positive.... Ambiance and location is awesome, and perfect place to pregame before the game. read more

This place was amazing! The bartender had a little bit of sass which we loved right off the bat. He was fun and got down to business. We told him we came in specifically because the sign said they had the best burger in Broadway. And I'm gonna have to say. I think they may have been right! The cottage fries were so good also. The guy that was playing music set the tone for a relaxing late lunch. Would recommend this place. 100/10 read more

Teddy's Tavern - The best burger on broadway! - Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

aelle is the best bartender in nashville! this was the best venue for our event. love it!

Teddy's is just a few steps off of Broadway, and it was much less packed. They have an awesome rooftop bar if you're in the mood to hang outdoors (it's partially heated in the winter), and they have live music on the other two floors. Their chicken sandwich was pretty good, and the drinks were fine. Prices were a little high, but they do provide a local's discount with your Nashville driver's license! read more

This is a fun place to chill off Broadway. The beer special is fantastic (Music City Brewery 16 oz for $2 ). The bartender was super fun to talk to. The food was not as good as we expected. They advertised "best burger" but I have had better. We also ordered a salad and wings which was just OK. The music was not as good as other places we visited in Nashville. read more

Teddy's Tavern - Great deal on beer! - Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Was in the area for a concert and wanted something close and not a chain restaurant. Once we arrived we were immediately seated close to the stage. Loved the atmosphere of the old Nashville feel. We had the pretzels with the beer cheese for an appetizer, the pretzels were hot and fresh, beer cheese had great flavor with just the right amount of heat. Burgers were really good! Nothing fancy here, just good food, good service and great music. This is what makes Teddys unique! Keep up the good work, keep being you! read more

Hidden gem across from Bridgestone Arena. Great place to grab a quick bite before a game or concert. Burgers lived up to the claim on the door "best burger on broadway". Pretzel bite appetizer is also delicious. Live music.. good service.. worth the stop if you are in the area. read more

The servers were really friendly and attentive. This bar is just off broadway but it is multi floor with live entertainment. It's kinda a dive bar I guess but really good at it. Really good beer specials and we only had an appetizer of pretzel bits with beer cheese. They were terrific. It's tough to give 5 stars but as long as a nice easy comfortable dive bar is what your looking for you found it. Love it. read more

I love this little place, it has such fun and friendly staff! I just tried their food for the first time and was blown away. If you need a quick good bite on Broadway this is the place to go. They usually have live music on the first floor, and the place is small enough that you get that really "local pub feeling". They have a roof top as well and it has both sun and shade, so pick your poison! read more

Stopped on our way back to our hotel for a quick drink. Service was spot on. There was live music on the rooftop that was really good. We decided to have a burger and fries. Great burger; it was so flavorful and tender. We will definitely return. read more

If you're looking for something different from the corporate, copycat experiences available at the big-name bars on Broadway, visit Teddy's. The burgers and fries were very good, the staff was friendly, and the musicians weren't playing the universal playlist you hear at the larger venues. It isn't a high-end bar, but it has a little more of the soul that Nashville seems to be losing. read more

Located right next to Bridgestone Arena and Broadway. The happy hour hour here is the time to visit though otherwise expect to pay way more then it is worth but still giving 5 stars because the service is always welcoming, food is some of the better quality you can get on Broadway and the rooftop bar is relaxing read more

We were lured into Teddy's by a friendly Gingerbread Man standing outside. Nice gimmick, but it worked. We were there early in the afternoon so it was pretty chill, but the bartender was friendly and fun to talk to. He made a pretty good Broadway pub Old Fashioned, to boot. I had hoped to pop back in later when the crowd picked up didn't make it. See ya next trip, Gingy! read more

We have came here several times throughout the years for drinks, drinks, and more drinks. We have also loved the talent it's always some that actually has talent, might not be famous all the time but you can always count on them being a great show. But today we ate! And it was great. I have always loved a good burger and they delivered one of the best. Thanks and the service was spot on as always. read more

AP & Lindsey are the best bartenders in Nashville! Great atmosphere, food, drink and music. Had a blast here, two nights in a row

This is must stop in Nashville!!!! If you want great draft beer, excellent delicious food and impeccable service...you HAVE to come here! We had the pretzels and beer cheese and the cheeseburger and both were amazing! Probably the BEST pretzels and cheese we have ever had! Liz (the lizard) was so hospitable and gave the greatest service and then we had Chase who was equally hospitable. Good music and atmosphere. Can't say enough good things about this place. You just have to come here!! Period. Came back later and service was unfriendly with Ivy and Becca. Scared to order from them!!!! Mean girls!! But JP the entertainment was awesome!! We got the wings and they were petrified! Don't get those! Bartender makes the difference for sure ! We wanted Liz and Chase back!!!! read more

We just got here from Cali and I wanted to sit and just enjoy an old fashioned and I met Aelle (she is the best) she made me one of what she called redneck old fashioned. I highly recommend it.

Worst bartender on the rooftop!! I never got the entrée I ordered, and she overcharged me. This bartender was also very rude and unfriendly.

Bartenders, AJ, Faith, and Kourtney are beyond friendly and attentive. Great time at the bar. They had live music and the band they had playing was the Annie B Band, amazing musicians. They have a rooftop (didn't make it up) as well. It's awesome that you get the Broadway feel without the Broadway hustle. They have food and plenty of drink choices. I had a beer and their burger. I was a little skeptical about the potato bun but I was very impressed about the texture and taste of it. I chose not to add the bacon and I honestly didn't miss it. The burger was perfectly cooked and the fries... Those things are dangerous. I discovered a new shape of potato fries that I feel is the best I had so far, perfectly crispy and soft in the right places. They had a few more items and it is cool that the kitchen closes at 12. I totally would come here again and try the other menu items and check pout the rooftop. Come check them out and tell me what you think... read more
