I am beyond thrilled with my experience at this delightful dive bar. Patrons and staff were very welcoming and kind. My sister and I are both lesbians (obviously so) and we were worried that some judgement would be present but we couldn't have been more wrong. They are very inclusive and we even ended up getting some rainbow swag! Oh! AND they have a full size volleyball court in the back which I have never seen in my life! 5 stars all the way, every time. read more

Wilhagan's - Volleyball court behind the bar. The pic is dark but hopefully it still gives an idea. - Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Service are amazing!!! Friendly! People are nice and fun!! Still going there and playing volleyball on every Wednesday for spring, summer, and fall! read more

Great little locals bar. Short trip from downtown but loaded with Nashville atmosphere. Two pool tables, dedicated dart room, sand volleyball out back. Burgers and wings are classic and the pizza is excellent. Great place to watch Minesota Vikings games... but why would you in Nashville? Go Titans! read more

$9 for 5 cheese sticks is the most outrageous price I've ever seen. Do yourself a favor and go to any other bar that sells them for a dollar a piece like they're worth. read more

Visiting from Minnesota and needed somewhere to watch the Vikings game. This place is it! The whole crowd was into the game and the drinks and food are great. read more

Great pizza just hop skip and jump from the airport. The service was friendly and a good local bar to meet friends.

Went here for the Vikings game, and it was super amazing!!! We had some of the best bar food we've eaten a while. The staff was lovely and the vibe was so chill Some customers were rude, but they left after they were informed they couldn't block a fire exit with furniture. Will be coming back!!! read more

This is a great locals hang out that was very welcoming to wifey and I on a late Sunday night "last bar of the day" search. A good friend of ours recommended Wilhagan's as his neighborhood bar where everyone knows your name (thanks Benny!!). It is a big, small place with multiple rooms including one 6 foot pool table -- 11, yes 11 steel tip dart boards that were so well lit, placed and taken care of that you really knew you had found someone that truly was a darter (as I am from my days back in Chicago). Out back they had a full size sand vollyball court, bocche, cornhole and a lots of seating. This place must be a blast on summer weekends. The staff was friendly, recommending we get the pitcher which was a better $2beer ratio (gotta luv that) ... and crazy enough it was $5 for the pitcher!! Good enough local draft selection, and full range of liqueur, shots etc. We didn't have any food, next time. I really recommend this place for a great laid back, old school not-a-hipster-in-sight kinda vibe and friendly staff and patrons alike !!l read more

I have to totally agree with the majority of reviews here. Wilhagan's is a great "dive" bar, in the best sense of the word, with an incredibly friendly staff and amazing food (Wings and pizza are best around and burgers and sandwiches are delicious as well.) And you won't beat the prices anywhere in Nashville. The one thing I would add that has yet to be mentioned is that for the last 27 years Wilhagan's has been the home of the only official Minnesota Vikings Fan Club in Nashville, the Nashville Norsemen. If you are in town from Minnesota or just a fan, Wilhagan's is the place to watch the Minnesota Vikings. The place overflows with purple, gjallarhorns and die hard fans. It's the next best place to US Bank Stadium. Skol Vikings! https://www.facebook.com/groups/NashvilleNorsemen/ read more

The best ones are the ones off the beaten path! Wilhagan's is your top notch dive bar that includes 2 for 1 happy hour wells, great drink prices and delicious wings. Having trouble choosing between darts or pool, then why not go outside for some volleyball or cornhole. The people that come here are regulars and will welcome you right on in to the family. Beware that this place is smoker friendly and might not be the best environment for minors. If you want to escape the chaos down on Broadway, drop on by and give em a try! read more

The only place for a Minnesota Vikings fan. The Nashville Norsemen have been here since 1992. It's all purple all the time. And the friendly staff and delicious food mean even Packers can't resist the place. SKOL! read more

I can't speak for the food, but we did see the chef carrying HOMEMADE DOUGH out to the BBQ for the burgers. The locals said the food was pretty incredible, especially the burgers and wings. However, the NONLOCALS were treated with TLC and were officially greeted by multiple Vikings fans. Also cheap for what you get. Our favorite and most passionate greeter was Tony, the President of the Vikings club. He was a treasure and so excited to see those he knew, and those who were new, there at his bar. The bartender, also an absolute treasure. I would accidentally make eye contact with her and she'd come rushing over to make sure there wasn't anything else we needed. She even remembered to bring me a lime for every drink after the time I asked for her drink once. They have TEN DART BOARDS in the back area inside, a beach volleyball court (a very nice one, bocce ball court, and most important CHARACTER. We saw the outside after enjoying the inside for a couple hours and we're bummed we didn't enjoy the 70 degree Tennessee winter day out there watching the game on their big TV. If you're lucky enough to watch the game here, GO! If you're lucky enough to enjoy a drink at this divey bar, GO! One of the highlights from my trip to TN! read more

Happy hour is a deal! The food is great! Drinks were good! The atmosphere is laid back. The only con I would say is the parking. It is very limited. . **you can smoke in this bar** read more

Best happy hour in town. Great food. Awesome people. All the bar sports including volleyball! The day wilhagans closes is the day i move outta Nashville!! read more

Jerk wings, jerk wings, jerk wings...Seriously delicious spicy goodness that equally burns your mouth as it sends some kind of message to your brain to eat more. I really wish this place was closer...take those insane wings and add excellent drinks, friendly service and darts and you have a very memorable and fun spot. read more

Wilhagan's is about as dive bar as it gets with little surprises around every corner. Jam packed with lots of entertaining things to do, on a sunny afternoon you can partake in a good ole game of corn hole, or try your volleyball skills on their sand volleyball court. If you rather stay inside close to your food and your beer you could try your aim in a game of darts. Mondays they have corn hole and volleyball tournaments, Tuesdays is trivia night, Wednesdays Wilhagan's is home to dart leagues, Thursdays it hosts free pool, ladies night, and volleyball games, Fridays drink specials run until 10 pm, Saturday brings karaoke, and finally Sundays is writers night and there are drink specials from 5pm - 10pm. Their food is slightly above average bar food with their jerk wings heading the pack. Their servers tend to be pretty friendly, however their bartenders, not so much. Being a dive bar and all, I wouldn't expect anything great from their cocktails, but they can pour a beer. It's also home of the Nashville Men's Rugby Club socials so if you stop in there on a Saturday during their season you might be able to join in some rugby debauchery. Now, its biggest downfall: it's absolutely horrendously smoky. Wilhagan's is a friend's favorite bar, so I do tend to end up there at her behest, but usually wake up feeling as if my lungs have collapsed. If it wasn't so smoky I would say that Wilhagan's is about as good as it gets in the dive bar department, but alas it is super smoky, so it loses major points. It would get 4 stars, but the smoke made 1 star die of a lung related disease, and as such only 3 stars were left alive and breathing. read more

My favorite bar in nashville. For bar food its great Drinks are cheap Staff is friendly Its like the cheers of nashville And I am norm. Only bad things are it does get abit smokey Its a vikings and a bama bar Lots to do on random nights read more

Ahhh, the Winchester. A friend of my husband's told him about this bar several years ago. They went a few times then my husband got the rest of our group to go. Ours friends spend a lot more time there now than we do (trivia, poker, etc) but I miss our nights there. There is such a mix of people that frequent Wilhagen's and seriously, the place is like Cheers. There was a period of about a year that I didn't go and the first time back the manager, Marie still knew who I was! The smoke definitely was a problem but the past few times I've gone it hasn't bothered me. They have some great drink specials and the most wonderful bar food. Ben, you said it best. "The best dive bar in Nashville hands down." read more

Best chicken and spinach quesadilla on the planet!!!! We love a good dive bar with darts! Every time I visit Nashville we come here. Great spot with great service and food. read more

This was a fun establishment. If you like bar food and late night atmospheres go here. It has a dive bar feel to it that has a cozy effect.

Wonderful dive bar in the middle of no where (but close to the interstate!). We always sit at the bar, get two orders of the hot wings, and I have a couple of drinks while we wait. The food and the drinks are not only fast but delicious every time. Seriously - get the hot wings. The kitchen is open late. This has become our regular spot to come eat, drink, and people watch. read more

Very nice to play some free poker on Thursday nights. They have 2 games and there are some pretty good players.

The bartenders treat you like family and their food is pretty good. The best bar you can eat drink and play darts pool volleyball at. If you don't like crowds come here. And bring friends read more

Great staff and the pizza is 99/100 times GREAT (and yes, I had it that many times). Poker games no good as small chip stacks and you're just playing "luck" vs. skill. But if you're out for poker then you really aren't reading this... read more

What a great hidden treasure. Glad to have found it. Great positive energy in this place.

Great place and friendly service! Try the pizza you won't be disappointed!

This bar is the best. I could not ask for a better local bar than this one. Casey, Barbi, and Lindsey are by far the best bartenders in Nashville! Tara runs a great happy hour! This bar is like family, I couldn't ask for anything less! Thank you Willhagens and the Wilhagans crowd. I love you guys! read more

Even though get the DirecTV NFL Sunday package, have to keep going back on Sunday's to watch the Vikings! One reason is the ALWAYS good food. I get to craving the club sandwich that never dissapoints and the fries are always crispy and hot. Attentive employees will make sure you are never left with an empty glass and there's just something special about a "dive" that feels safe and is full of friendly folks... read more
