The place where locals go for a game night. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. Parking is easy if you know the where it is.

Perfect rating for their wings alone (buffalo), but their servers also get an A for their service. Great place and super affordable.

Great food, great drinks, great prices. Hard to find, absolutely worth it. Absolute highlight is the patio outside.

Great food Fast service Very comfy and chill spot A good spot for locals. My food was 10/10 and the drink was good read more

Alley Pub - Hot buffalo chicken sliders & fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Love The Alley! Owned by firefighters, we've been going here for over twenty years. The food is good. Ambiance is somewhere between a sports bar and dive bar.... More like a sports bar though. read more

Alley Pub can be described as a few things...dive bar, local hangout, hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem, etc...and all would ring true! However, in addition to being all of those things, Alley Pub is also a great spot for brunch, dinner, late nights with friends, patio beers on a gorgeous Nashville day, sports bar and maybe most importantly a spot that has a mimosa and Bloody Mary bar on Sunday mornings with 2-for-1 beers all day! Since moving to Nashville and settling on the West end of town, I have heard about Alley Pub a lot and I finally checked it out and honestly am mad at myself for it taking so long! Alley Pub is located in the alley (surprise!) behind the shopping center that holds Gold's Gym at the corner of Old Hickory and 70. When they get busy, parking can be scarce right in front of Alley Pub, but you have the large lot on the other side of the building that is always available. As mentioned, Sunday's are the best day for Alley Pub given their brunch, Mimosa/Bloody Mary Bar and drink specials. Drink wise I started with the 2-for-1 Domestic draft beer and then migrated to the Bloody Mary bar. They bring you out a cold glass with Vodka and ice...more vodka than ice, and then you get to create your own bloody until your heart is content. The bar features a healthy variety of Bloody Mary mixes from local to well known and plain to extra spicy. Then you have your add-ins that include pickles, pickled asparagus, celery, beef sticks, bacon, olives and more plus a good selection of hot sauce too. If you decide to go mimosa, then they have you set there with a bar full of a variety of juices and add-ins such as fresh fruits! Food wise, our table got a few rounds of the Juan wings, which were phenomenal and may be my favorite wing in Nashville at this moment! Once we were a few drinks and wings in to the day we decided to grab a few things off the brunch menu and I ordered the Chicken N' Biscuits. I was a little worried as the description states that it is "2 Tenders" served on biscuits with sausage gravy, so I anticipated little pieces of frozen chicken...but I was wrong! The chicken was small breasts, not tenders, and it was breaded inhouse and fried to perfection! Those things on top of the soft biscuits and then add that gravy...I was feeling good! Service was also excellent. Our server was a long time server of Alley Pub, so everyone knew him and loved him, and for good reason...he was good people with great service! After all this stuff, still I fell short of 5 stars because of the smoking. You can no longer smoke inside, which is great, but it is allowed on the patio and the inside/patio is a constant flow due to the doors always being open. And if you want to sit outside, but don't smoke, then it can be a little overwhelming as the space is not super large...this is especially noticeable when the plastic surrounds are down outside. Overall, Alley Pub is an amazing spot in Bellevue. One that I will continue returning to as long as I live in Nashville! read more

Monday night at Alley Pub. Mondays are Smokin' Mondays. Well, I never paid that no mind... until i I was accidentally at Alley Pub on a Monday night. OMG... you've never seen, picked up, tried to eat a full rack of ribs with this much meat on the bones. Fall apart, juicy, delicious ribs with a rub done by a professional. They were finger-licking deliciousness. Hats off and a bow to the grill master who smoked these bad boys. read more

My boyfriend and I recently lost our home and all of our belongings in an apartment fire. In between shopping for necessities we decided to stop by Alley Pub. We were NOT disappointed. Upon sharing our streak of bad luck with the owner, Mark (who is a retired firefighter) we were immediately made comfortable AND he made sure we were taken care of. I truly appreciate how involved the owner is with his restaurant and the clientele. Not to mention how kind and understanding he is. The restaurant is clean, everyone is socially distancing, wearing masks, and all of the employees are SO nice and accommodating. Don't even get me started on the menu! I need ALL of it! Alley Pub is going to be a place we quickly become regulars. 15/10 would recommend to everyone. We are definitely coming back on Sunday for the Bloody Mary, Mimosa, and 75cent wings! read more

My first week in Nashville, this was a must stop place as it will be my neighborhood go to, went for drinks and live music. Didn't have anything to eat, but I love the vibe, the drinks were good, well made, can't wait to go back. The live music was a cancel that night, but I still enjoyed the place. Michelle the bartender was great. Good vibe. Going for Bloody Mary's today, Sunday, 2/12. Seemed clean, good crowd. Eager to hear some local bands. read more

Alley Pub - My first visit, moved from DC 2/2023. - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great. Highly recommended by a true native Nashvillian. Tried the catfish and slaw was amazing.

Nope. Although it might just be us. Neither of us are the bar types. loud, smokey and dimly lit - checks all of the stereotypes seen on TV. Service was ok. Food, eh... The wings were supposed to be the best ever! I guess? If you just heat up your wings and pour Franks Redhot on them. Homemade Ranch and Blue Cheese, just like momma never ever made... The Coke was good. My wife had Cheesy Chili Tots, survey says, just "ok". So, 8 wings, celery sticks, a side of Ranch & Blue Cheese, a coca-cola, cheesy chili tots, a water and $20 later.... nope... seek food elsewhere... read more

Difficult to review. The food is good, especially the wings. Unfortunately, the service might be the worst in Nashville. It appears that people who manage the place or are on their day off get first priority. From there, it's people who are there to enjoy multiple alcoholic beverages, and customers who are there to dine (with or without alcohol) are last to be recognized, much less served. You have to ask to order (ESPECIALLY if you are not feeling alcohol that day), ask for utensils, ask for refills, and after waiting 25 minutes of having clean plates and empty glasses, ask for your check. Even on light days. read more

I've been a regular at Alley for a couple of years but I've never been treated as I was this evening. My server on the patio tabbed me out at 3 beers and three shots. I kept talking with my friends on the patio until the wee hours but what shocked me was my tab at the end of the evening. If I drank 5 more beers pints and 5 more shots one wold have to peel me off the floor but the bartender insisted that since i closed out earlier with my server, and started ordering from the bar, I'd drank 5 more pints and 5 more shots. I tried to argue that the system was somehow conflating the two tabs, but she insisted to the point of calling me a liar that I'd come up to her at the bar 5 times and orders 5 pints and 5 shots. I even looked at my table in disbelief. I'm not normally one to assign untoward intentions so I queried those at the table if they'd even seen me drink anything close to that. Unless I was skulling beers at the bar (on camera mind you), something was way off. read more

I have been coming to Alley Pub for years and I've been neutral about it However, last week I had a terrible experience. I went with a friend for a few drinks after having dinner. My friend went outside to smoke, and a man who was slim with a beard. I cannot remember his name, threw a coaster at me and apologized, saying he was aiming for someone else. Then he decided to come over and talk to me. I was friendly and cordial. I like meeting new people and I took his word on the coaster. He said he had had Been aiming for a regular that he was throwing the coaster at because he worked there. Maybe he was trying to get my attention and that was cute but then I noticed he had a wedding ring on this made me a little uncomfortable But I was friendly because I don't know his situation. He told me that he works there on karaoke night, but he has an engineer job in the day. He was bragging a lot about himself, but what was very upsetting was that he started making comments about my body parts. I was OK that he said it once but he kept going on and on and it started making me feel uncomfortable to the point that I got my check. I don't mind a compliment, but I started to get uncomfortable and he could see that, but he kept saying detailed and specific sexual comments and then I got scared. As someone who works there I think that maybe he should be more professional. I felt so uncomfortable. When I got my check, they gave me the amount for my friend and I and I never asked to combine checks And I was too upset and uncomfortable to stay and try to fix that situation. I understand sometimes bars at night or a risk. You can get really perverted men that try to mess with you, but I would think that the staff will try to keep you safe and that would be their responsibility. This made me extremely uncomfortable. I won't be back, and I urge any single ladies to go elsewhere. read more

One of the best local watering holes in Bellevue! Especially now that they are non-smoking inside!! Great food and drinks, served by some of the kindest people in the business. Welcome to "cheers" where the locals go to connect with their neighbors and family almost daily read more

Alley Pub - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Service sucks depending on which server you get. Staff very rude and try to argue with you. Have went in multiple times and the staff was high, last time the guy we had told me he was strung out on shrooms and should not be working. I spoke to the manager and he said he didn't care the guy was on shrooms as it affected him rembering about 10 things back back. read more

I'd give it 5 stars, but the smoking is disgusting. To bad... Its a fun place, with great food.

Had some family in from out of town and decided to go to this local dive. Huge mistake, as soon as we entered the space I knew this was going to be a bad night. The bar wreaks of cigarettes, mold, and was very dirty. After sitting for 10 mins, a bartender comes over, throws her pen and pad on the table and says "what do you want"? We said some menus and a few minutes to look them over. She rolls her eyes and walks away.......and never returns. Now an older guy comes over to get our order. He was clearly hard of hearing but Refused to write anything down, which resulted in our drinks and food being wrong numerous times throughout the experience. The food...... was absolutely disgusting and inedible. The Cajun pasta was cold and literally made of canned ingredients. Biscuits where frozen garbage and the catfish was very bland. Horrible atmosphere, horrible service, and literally the worst food and drink I've had in Nashville. A complete dump, very unwelcoming. read more

This place has all the makings of a perfect dive bar EXCEPT for the damn smoking. It's hidden in an alley in a shopping center, is large but not too big, loud but not too noisy and has your basic bar/bar food set up. The servers were friendly enough and the prices were reasonable. I'd certainly make this a regular hang out IF: 1. They make people smoke outside 2. Improve food quality. I had the "hot" chicken strips and they were pretty tastless and just greasy. read more

I had only been here a couple of times previously during the evening when a band was playing, but we decided to go on a Sunday afternoon for some food and a couple of afternoon drinks. There was about 15 people there and it took 7 minutes before anyone came over to get a drink or food order. We had to ask for menus. I asked for a water with lemon to go along with a mimosa, received an eye roll and never got my water, even after asking for it twice. The male server was less than stellar. We waited 15-20 minutes between visits from him, he'd be sitting outside talking to friends or smoking. We went for 20 minutes at one point without a drink, our food, or our check. I was so frustrated by the time we finally got our check, that I told the people with me that I wouldn't be back there for a long time, which is really unfortunate because before this visit, I'd had decent experiences here. I'm a local so this is even harder to write because I'd prefer to patronize local establishments. read more

Every time I come in I feel unwelcome. Get the vibe that blacks are not welcome. I bought a house in Bellevue so this is unfortunate.

I'm going to start by saying I hate to give this place 3 stars. The atmosphere is great and the karaoke guy was amazing. But the service was disappointing. This is a Wednesday night and it's not busy at all. I'm also a server myself and I understand that you can get busy. But this wasn't the case. Our server Maddie started out our table great. We had plenty of drinks, but I eventually went up to her and asked for a food menu, and after that I couldn't get her attention for over 25 minutes. So I asked the bartender if I could order food with her and she was extremely rude and said no we can order from our server... But she literally kept disappearing. Our server Maddie was too worried about smoking a cigarette and dancing. It's okay to have fun at your job, I'd never want someone who was working to be miserable but she wasn't paying us any attention. So we asked for our tab to close out. Bartender slapped the tab down for us and then our server started being passive aggressive. Dropping our food off with attitude and genuinely being rude when we wanted something. I know this review is probably going to do nothing but I just want you to know if you decide to come here. read more

Alley Pub is a hidden gem. Good food, including the best burger west of White Bridge Road. And, they deliver through DoorDash! Generous pours. Good beer selection. Very personable bartenders and waitstaff. If you can't handle cigarette smoke, go to one of the other 99.9999% of places that ban smoking. I quit smoking years ago, but I don't begrudge smokers the very few places where they can have a drink and a cigarette in comfort. Good for Alley Pub! read more

Service is terrible. The male server/bartenders are plain rude and if you ask for a water you might as well go drink out of the bathroom sink it isn't worth the eye rolls you receive. Never mind asking them to modify food in any way you'll have better luck asking for their firstborn. read more

Will never go back there. Ordered a burger and got one with a nice long hair. The male bartender who is either bald or has a buzzcut was very rude and would not even make a new one. Ultimately we decided to leave. They still charged me despite not eating it which to me says a lot about the people there. read more

Basic neighborhood bar with fairly standard tasty looking food menu. No drink specials. The guy sitting next to me ordered one Jaegerbomb, which came to a total of.. $9! At a neighborhood bar?? I suppose a Bellvue neighborhood bar... However, the MGD 64 rang in at $3.25 a piece. That's what I call a domestic price! Service was good. I have to give it up to the female bartender. There were some jerks in the bar tonight - a rude woman, an employee blazed out of his mind. She was able to face these people and set them straight. Lots of bottled beers. read more

Pretty simple bar for the burbs. A few beers on tap and an ok beer selection. As with most neighborhoods in the south, outside of the wealthier ones, you are bound to enjoy some good people watching of the NASCAR variety. I have been there 2 times. Once on Saturday, which was townie heaven. I feel like every Hillwood class from 1980 was represented there. Second time I stopped in on a Thursday. They were heavy on the bourbon pour that night, which was a good start, but the true entertainment value came from the kareoke. The night started off with a guy singing some country dance ballad and before he started singing, he said; "lets get some belly rubbin goin on up in hea!" ( i assumed he wanted people to dance). As you may imagine it was magic for the next couple of hours. Over all, great people watching and generous pours on well priced booze. I don't recommend going on the weekend, but not a place for an early evening drink if you don't feel like driving down town. read more

Great bartenders, and the wings are huge! Sunday football was great with the wings and beer specials. Will definitely be back!

This is my local bar. For those of you who don't know, Tues is $2 domestics. Thursday is ladies night (not sure what that even means as I'm not a lady). This place is usually packed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. As far as food goes, they have a really good burger, french dip, onion rings, and pizza. I'd probably rate them in that order. I like to stop by and eat there during the day every once in a while since I usually run in to someone I know. I can't really speak to the service there as I'm a regular and it's never an issue. I get a new beer when my current one is half full without even asking. I've never heard any complaints though, even with as crazy as it gets there on Fri/Sat. I'm not a huge fan of the music here which is mostly country, so I sneak my jukebox picks in there when I can. Overall though, I love the good ole boy atmosphere and usually always have a great time here; which is more than I could ever say about Players or AJs. read more

I go to the Alley Pub twice a month to get my Biscuit and Steak fix. The steak is mouthwatering and can be cut with a fork. The bands are always great. Depending on the bar staff, the drinks can be delicious or a bit watered down. ...Just wish that it was a no smoking establishment. read more

We like this place. Right down the street for a quick bite. I like it's a local bar and one of the servers even remembered my drink order. Fri. & Sat. nights there is usually a band and it will be packed and a bit loud. I only gave it 3 stars because I don't like the smoking. I have to change my clothes every time I come back home. read more

Would defnitely come back here. Service was great, super staff so friendly and helpful. Very happy bar. Margarita's were very good, not too tart, not too sweet. We didn't eat but other did and the food looked wonderful and "special" orders (no onions, half banana peppers, etc.) all came out correct. The house salads were very large and looked delicious. Good quality lettuce used in them. Next time we bo will for sure go hungry and eat there! read more

Okay. I had never heard of this place and have been in Nashville for years. Band was beyond fantastic. Our server, Hailey, was on it 24/7 with drinks for a large group in a packed place. Several people got food in our group and it looked amazing. Will be back! read more

I came out here on a sunday. It was karaoke night and I had a blast. The vibe was great and my server, lisa, absolutely blew my mind. Honestly this place is amazing if not for anything else, for the drinks. I usually order the same drink and I have never had another equal. Lisa, you are amazing!!! And I hope this place realizes it. You, of any waitress that has ever served me, should be recognized. read more

Have had better experiences at Alley Pub in Bellevue. Bartender asked us if we had marijuana in a vape. When we adamantly told him "No", he continued to berate us and asked two more times. He refused to serve us when we clearly showed him our sober driver....who was drinking a lemon water. In fact, we were the only women in the bar not acting like assholes, but I guess being under the age of 50 is a crime at Alley Pub. read more
