The Guide To The Best Nashville Bars

Nashville is one of the top destination “it” cities right now. We get lots of messages about the best bars to hit up for a good time so we pulled together a list of some of our favorite spots. Whether you’re a local or coming in for a visit, these spots will definitely make your day drinking or nights out memorable……or actually, maybe not. 😉 Cheers!

Pearl Diver

The tagline reads: “exotic lounge with tropical beverages and food.” The vibe is Hawaii meets 1950’s with an airy inside and open patio with lots of seating. Great for a pre-dinner cocktail or Sunday Funday.

Bastion

From a few fun bar games to the most delicious nachos you will ever eat, this cozy, yet unconventional, spot in an old Nashville warehouse always merits a fun time.

Flamingo

A Nashville local favorite, the aesthetic, vibe and music makes the Flamingo a top spot. No phones allowed inside which is bizarre and oddly freeing at the same time. Be present, dance and have fun.

Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row

There aren’t many “dance clubs” in Nashville, but Whiskey Row has become known for it’s fun crowds, great DJ’s and ultimate Nashville party experience. This bar is a great late night spot after dinner and a cocktail. Put on your dancing shoes and get down.

Downtown Sporting Club

Right in the middle of the Nashville’s famous honkey tonk road, Broadway, this multi-level complex has everything from a “Never Have I Ever” card game to an ax-throwing bullseye. This would be a great place to start or end your honkey tonk bar crawl.

Rosemary & The Beauty Queen

The East Side of Nashville is home to a lot of the cities creative minded people. The vibe is cool, eclectic and very chill. This old house turned bar encompasses all of those descriptions and has a great patio to boot.

The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club

Another East Nashville spot, The Fox, is speakeasy meets lounge, with velvet couches and a constantly evolving cocktail list. If the Garden Margarita is on the menu, order it and don’t ask questions. Deliciousness awaits.

Pinewood Social

From coffee to cocktails, this is a great spot for grabbing a pre-dinner drink or a day hang that could include bowling or corn hole outside. Pro tip: Check the website for reservations early as the bowling lanes fill up fast.

Attaboy

If you want to go fully back to prohibition days, when you had to know a secret password to get in, Attaboy is your spot. No password needed, but the door doesn’t open unless you knock, the decor is vibey and the cocktails are handcrafted based on your palette. A full creative experience.

The Noelle Hotel – Trade Room Lounge, Make Ready Libations & Rare Bird Rooftop

One of Nashville’s hippest hotels, the Noelle provides three bar vibes that cover all the bases. If you are looking for a chill lounge, secret speakeasy or open rooftop vibe, this is your spot.

308

308 can be hit or miss crowd wise. On off nights it can feel a little empty, but 90’s night on Friday’s provides an amazing dance party and the cocktails are always delicious. If your night goes late, hit up Dino’s next door for a late night burger and fries.
