My wife and I scoped out the Wild Beaver Saloon for our 15th anniversary vow renewal this November, and it was exactly what we were hoping for -- and more! We're planning a fun evening with a Dolly Parton impersonator for the ceremony, followed by karaoke and mechanical bull riding with our friends and anyone who drops in. This place is going to be ideal. The staff was friendly and amazing -- super welcoming and clearly interested in hosting fun, memorable events. The crowd was full of fun and talented people (great energy for karaoke nights!), which made the whole vibe feel perfect for a celebration. If you're looking for a lively spot in Nashville with character, great staff, and entertainment options like karaoke and bull riding, look no further. Can't wait to come back in November for our big night! Highly recommend. read more

One of the locals recommended this bar, which is a couple blocks off Broadway. They sold me with karaoke and mechanical bull riding. What a good time. The bartender was super friendly and attentive. The drinks are not expensive at all. I tried an enchanted beaver, which was a little too sweet for me so I switched to Tito's and sugar-free Red Bull. We stayed here all night and closed this place down. I have not been that hung over in a long time. This place is definitely a good time! read more

We loved this bar so much we came back two nights in a row. They have craft beer on tap - one was named PB&J and tasted EXACTLY like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They had great shots, there was an employee whose job was to wear a beaver mascot head, the other employees and even the bouncer were super friendly and fun - highly recommend this place! read more

Definitely 2 star dive bar, which is the highest a dive bar should ever get. Wait staff was attentive and very helpful. Bull riding and karaoke were happening while we were there, both were very entertaining. Our drinks were very good. The ambiance is a bit raunchy so if you are easily offended stay away from this place. We had a great time. We even bought a tee shirt! If you are looking for a fun spot stop in. read more

If you're looking for a very touristy, slightly rowdy, and totally unpretentious night out in Nashville--this is your spot. The Wild Beaver Saloon is like walking into a country dive bar that knows exactly what it is: loud, chaotic, and unapologetically over-the-top. Think mechanical bull, karaoke that ranges from shockingly good to gloriously awful, and a whole lot of bachelorette parties. The drinks are what you'd expect--basic, strong, and served with a smile. This is not a craft cocktail kind of place, and that's part of the charm. It's come-as-you-are, dance-if-you-dare, and leave-your-dignity-at-the-door kind of fun. That said, it's definitely built for the out-of-towner crowd. If you're craving authenticity or a low-key local vibe, you may want to skip this one. But if your goal is a wild night with your crew, some laughs, and a few stories to maybe not tell your mom--Wild Beaver delivers. read more

Best experience and good hospitality. Come here and ride the bull. They have live country music. If you're in Nashville come here !

I never write reviews; however, I feel this is important. I had a very disappointing experience at the Wild Beaver Saloon in Nashville. While entering the venue, the bouncer checking IDs was unnecessarily rude and confrontational toward me and my group. He demanded that IDs be handed individually, and when I jokingly commented "this is crazy" while laughing, he immediately became hostile. Even after I apologized multiple times and explained that I meant no disrespect, he refused to let me enter and would not allow anyone in my group to enter either. I calmly asked to speak with someone higher up, and although another staff member appeared willing to resolve the situation, the bouncer became increasingly aggressive, postured toward me in an intimidating manner, and shut the conversation down. As a paying customer, I expected professionalism and respectful treatment. Instead, I left feeling humiliated, singled out, and uncomfortable. I understand security staff have rules to enforce, but there is a difference between doing a job and treating people with unnecessary hostility. I hope management addresses how customers are spoken to and treated moving forward. read more

Oh my goodness, I experienced broadway but you need to walk down the road to wild beaver. Karaoke, regular priced drinks, pool, darts, basketball shooting game( idk what it's called) get your country lovin booty to this bar! You can't not have a fun time. read more

You want a fun bar in Nashville, you say? Look no further! Wild Beaver Saloon checks all the boxes: fun atmosphere, mechanical bull, and karaoke! A group of us stopped in and had an absolute blast! Some of us hung by the bar and chatted with strangers (who were all super nice), others rode the mechanical bull, and the remainders enjoyed singing along with the karaoke. We didn't spend hours and hours here but it is worth coming in for a round or two and some fun. I promise you'll have a good time! read more

Id love to say i enjoyed this place, but unfortunately they ruined it! i went here to have a thrilling bull riding experience like advertised, but when i walked up to the EMPTY mechanical bull and the man watching it said the only rides they offer are "slow and sexy" they ABSOLUTELY wouldnt do anything else. personally i didnt want to be sexualized by the old ran running the machine or the people watching when im the one paying money for this experience. crazy how they think theyll still have business with this policy, the place was empty as hell for a reason. The employees all seemed nice and i even talled to some about this policy, but whoevers making the decisions here is cleary a man missing a womans guidance, so sorry to anyone who wanted the same experience i was hoping for. read more

I am hesitant to review this place because it is such a hidden gem and I don't want it to get too popular. Just slightly off of the touristy Broadway, and so much fun! They have a mechanical bull and a karaoke stage AND cheap shots which help with the liquid courage to try the first two things I mentioned. read more

My friends and I had a blast. The service was great at the bar. The karaoke DJ, was great. I loved her "What's Up" cover. My friend sang "Heart Like a Truck", and it was amazing! Love this place! read more

Not a 5 star place but 5 stars in my heart, so I'll give it. This is my favorite bar downtown - it is slightly less expensive than Broadway, has games, a bull, and all day karaoke. (Please stop letting the people who run karaoke take all the time... this is getting sketchy as they tell you "unless you pay you won't be singing" - It was NOT like this before. ) Bathroom attendant is the nicest lady ever. read more

Amazing small bar with great bartending service, karaoke, bull riding, and a few games to play as well. It's right off of Broadway, about a 2-3min walk. I was searching all over for a place that had bull riding for my Wife on her birthday & this is one of the ones I found that was local and not closed. read more

Wild partying karaoke /bull riding combo! Bartenders, KJ, and staff all really great! The night I went, there were some really excellent singers and a rowdy crowd to match! Very spacious, but can fill up quickly. read more

Bouncer used a homophobic slur at me. Said he's never seen a Florida ID before then bent my ID in half and broke it. I'm 31 years old. Have had the ID since 2017 and never had an issue. Worst bar I've ever been to in the last 10 years. Place smells like puke and bouncer was aggressive. read more

Been here twice and each time the group I'm with have had a blast!! Drinks are cheaper than on Broadway and the karaoke was so much fun. Mechanical Bull is cool but the karaoke is where it's at. Will absolutely return!! read more

News flash... the people coming to this bar are usually not sober. The mechanical bull operator & the "dj" were the biggest Debbie downers of the night and seemed annoyed we were having fun. I get you're all starving artists n such, but demanding tips to do your jobs is so tacky. This place is fun, and draws a fun crowd... we had 12 people with us and spent a lot of $$ here... but we won't be back. Here's to hoping management can find some better help that won't chase paying customers away. There's too much competition in Nashville to have sub-par service. read more

Shoutout to my girl holly. She is always friendly and can get you what you want in a timely manner Karaoke and bull rides too!! So much fun!!!! read more

Wild Beaver Saloon - a crowd of people at the bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Went there for karaoke. Was there for 2 hours since I submitted request on a Wednesday night. Multiple other singers sang multiple times, but we never got called. There were probably 26 people in the bar of which we were 6 of. Asked and told we were next. 3 other singers and still not us. Then we were told we were 6th but most of them probably not there. Waited 7 more, and previous singers were called. Then told others tipped to skip. I typically tip $5 per song but not before. Imagine if I did and not called. 6 of us tonight. 12 of us for the next 4 days will be going to another karaoke place. read more

Absolutely Amazing service! Tyler was amazing from the moment we entered this establishment, he knows his drinks and provide great service!

The best karaoke bar ever!! I had so much fun here listening to people sing. It can get crowded, but that's just because it's the best karaoke spot in Nashville! Bartenders were sweet and gave good recommendations on drinks. Can't wait to come back. read more

Yeehaw! Probably the most fun in all of Nashville. They have the only mechanical Bull in town, and it's only $5 for the ride of your life. If you're not in the mood to be bounced around, enjoy the terribly satisfying karaoke and watch all the brave souls that jump on the Bull. Drinks are very reasonably priced. Had a blast! read more

The bartenders had quick and friendly service. Karaoke and bull riding kept our attention. There were so many good singers who jumped on stage. read more

When I tell y'all idk why this place doesn't have a higher rating, I'm lowkey confused. Granted this review like all my reviews are solely based on my experience (unless stated otherwise). I saw this place on YouTube and quickly put it on our Nashville itinerary. It was the mechanical bull, we all know it. When we arrived, we were greeted by the security who was really friendly. I felt bad for him when we were leaving because some drunk person tried to punch and fight him. Ordered a few drinks, listened to a variety of karaoke performances and chatted with a few people. The bartenders were cool and there are a few games in the back if you don't want to watch the karaoke or bull riding. There are not many melanated people here, there was only one when we were there and of course in true us nature we made sure to talk to one another. Overall, I had a good experience here and would return if I'm in town again. read more

Holly was so attentive and respectful during our visit! Could not recommend a better stop than this bar

Stopped in here around 4 on a Saturday. Fun crowd- not too busy. The bartenders were attentive and the woman handling the karaoke was great! Definitely a fun karaoke spot. read more

Y'all I came on 02-07-2025 and the atmosphere incredible! If you are in Nashville come on a day Holly is working! She made sure your drink was made to perfection and her personality is hilarious! Bull rides and karaoke are just part of the fun as well! Definitely recommended!! read more

Loved this place spent 6 hours there but the karaoke lady with the black hair doesn't know how to do her job! Attitude and favorites for sure. We waited for HOURS to preform and I was assisting people who didn't know how to complete the request form and they ended up going before me hours prior to me going up. She needs a new way of a method especially for people coming in and spending $$$ not fair read more

Love the beaver family so much!! Go check em out!! cheap drinks, great song list, and bull rides that will change your world!

Took my friend there last week because she wanted karaoke and bull riding. We had a blast. She sang, I cheered everyone on. Bartenders were amazing!! I will be back again in August!! read more

The bathroom here has an attendant. I'm specifically talking about the women's restroom - last night when I walked in I was told by the female attendant that I HAD to leave my drink sitting by the sink in order to use the restroom. I did not want to leave my drink sitting with someone that I do not know as this is very dangerous. When I told her I did not want to do that she said that she is the "bar mom" and I had to. Needless to say this was not right for her to demand AT ALL so I left without using the restroom and we went down the street to spend our money at a different place. I will never go back to this bar again because of this policy that the bathroom attendant was pushing and making me feel very unsafe and worried for other women who actually do leave their drinks sitting there with her. She could be doing absolutely anything to these. I have never in my life been told that I could not keep my drink with me, who in the world thinks this is ok?! read more

We were there Sunday night May 14 , and the young girl operating the bull was so rude! She kept asking for tips and if not "she'll throw the girls off right away ". We was snippy while we were filling out wavers. My fiancée just wanted to ride a bull for her birthday and this girl totally ruined her first bill ride experience ! Next time we're going elsewhere!! read more

Such a fun place! As a local, I tend to shy away from the honky tonks around town but found myself at Wild Beaver after hitting up some cocktail lounges. We were in the mood for something fun, and this place had it all! Inexpensive drinks, friendly service, and tons of activities. I will be back! read more

Mechanical bull operator and bouncer were incredibly aggressive. I watched over a dozen women, including 2 I was with ride the bull, not pay any fee or sign a waiver. When I attempted to ride it I was screamed at and they demanded the money. When I said no they yelled in my face and the bouncer pushed himself between me and my girlfriend trying to force her and my other friends to stay in the bar. Also, unrelated to this experience, but this place smelled foul, like vomit and stale beer. read more

So pretty much, I was in Nashville and I had to Yelp where my friend and I could find a place to ride a Mechanical Bull. This place was the first to pop up, therefore we went. Pretty spacious bar, service is quick, drinks are inexpensive and it was a blast. We went in on a Thursday night and they had karaoke going on as well which of course we did as well. You sing your songs on a stage which makes you feel like a total rockstar. We also took our chance to ride the mechanical bull. $5 per ride and the line wasn't long. I dislocated my finger when I was thrown off...was it worth it? At the moment 100%. Overall we had a blast here I would come back again if I had the chance. read more
