It is a true dive bar, although, unlike some in the city, it now accepts cards and cash. To be honest, I miss the way it used to be in the original location. The bartenders name slips my mind, but I remember her serving at the second location, so she is a long time fixture. I am fairly certain the three older musicians playing that day are fixtures too, although I have never seen them before. As you enter, you will find the walls covered by ones that locals and tourists sign and affix there. Menu is limited and the drinks are much cheaper than Lower Broad, although more expensive than some of the other dive bars around the city (Santa's comes to mind). If you are around Music Row and searching out a dive bar, this is definitely your place.

What to Get: The Yoo-hoo Espresso Martini is a must for anyone who likes a creamy chocolate drink…read more The cocktail drinks are made with so much care in a fresh and qualitative manner, and I hope it continues to be this way for more of their customers to come. I am certain that the hotdogs made are made to perfection, with the Kani and/or Dog for a Cause being the ones my wife and I chose, pairing well with our drinks Customer Service: Exceptional service, expectations exceeded. Our bartender and chef, Mike W., went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and catered to our needs in order to having the best experience here at Connie's Price: Approximately $59.28, not including tip for 2 people. Highly recommend going for happy hour from 5pm-7pm to get the best happy hour deals. The price as stated above was for 2 drinks/person and 2 hotdogs Ambience: Indoor seating providing tropical tiki vibes. A wonderful ambience to converse with others Overall: Best Experience. If I were a local here, I'd be here at least once a week with or without company; Connie's would definitely be a place I'd bring family/friends to for drinks and/or hotdogs

A Nashville Gem! If…read moreyou're searching for the heart and soul of Nashville, look no further than The Villager Tavern! This local treasure has earned its reputation as the city's best dive bar, blending the warmth of Southern hospitality with a vibrant atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more. Let's start with the food--oh, the food! The gumbo here is an absolute revelation. Bursting with bold flavors and the perfect balance of spices, it's hands down the best you'll find in Nashville. Each spoonful transports you straight to the bayou, with tender pieces of sausage and shrimp swimming in a rich, savory broth. It's comfort food at its finest! And if you're a fan of po' boys, The Villager's roast beef po' boy is a must-try. The beef is succulent, piled high on a perfectly crusty loaf, and slathered with just the right amount of gravy. It's an explosion of flavor with every bite, and you'll be craving it long after you leave. Now, let's talk about the juke box. This isn't just any juke box; it's arguably the best in the city! With an eclectic mix of classic tunes and hidden gems, it sets the perfect soundtrack for your evening. Whether you're in the mood for some soulful blues or toe-tapping rock, The Villager's juke box has got you covered. It's also a great venue for live music, such as their weekly songwriter's night and jazz nights. The Villager is the kind of place where you can lose yourself in music while sipping a cold drink and soaking in the vibe. But what truly sets The Villager Tavern apart is its unexpected charm. While you might think of a dive bar as a place for cheap drinks and good food, The Villager surprises with its art displays. You'd never expect to find such an array of local art in a dive bar, but here it flourishes! Vibrant paintings are hung throughout from local artists Tobias Piarrot, Jessica Bleu and Brenan, it's Nashville's most unlikely place to see great art. The combination of artistic expression and laid-back ambiance makes every visit a delightful experience. In a city known for its music and culinary delights, The Villager Tavern stands out as a quintessential Nashville experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this spot deserves a spot on your must-visit list. Come for the gumbo, stay for the darts and $9 pitchers of Shiner Bock, and enjoy the tunes while appreciating some fantastic art. You won't be disappointed!

We came here for the hot chicken next door at Red's but we stayed for the pool and great company…read more Our family immediately gravitated to the pool table. Lola was bartending in the afternoon and at first she looked at our two kids with suspicion but she politely asked that we watch after them at the pool table. Lola told us how she had learned to play pool before she was tall enough to peer over the table. The hot chicken at Red's was delicious. We ordered the tenders in medium hot, catfish in medium hot, and chicken sandwich in extra hot. The extra hot actually tastes milder than the medium but the heat builds quickly. And while we enjoyed the extra hot, I actually thought the medium heat had a tastier blend of spices. Back to the bar, though. We met the owner, Terry Cantrell, and he was so warm and friendly--showed us the prohibition door with the tiny sliding window where the bartenders would take a peek to make sure you were cool, legit, and not with the Feds before letting you in. He told us about the moonshine operation in the neighborhood. He told us about the movies and commercials that have been filmed there. And he told us about how he had bought the bar in the late 70s to the chagrin of his father who wanted him to do something else with his college degree. This place and the people who work there are gems. Great stop in Nashville.

Outside the front door, you're informed in big painted letters that this is a "supper club and…read morelounge." Well, now. There's no supper club here nor any lounge. In fact, there is no food here whatsoever although it's very common to order food at Red's next door and have them deliver it to you as you nurse your beer and look for this mysterious supper club and lounge. Beer is all they serve here. Even the soft drinks come from a vending machine. Just beer. Cash only. The somewhat stern looking and tough acting barkeep told someone that this is a "music venue" because they have two live shows a night. I guess I can get behind that but during the day, this is Tennessee's oldest bar and there is no music playing inside at all, no radio, no nothing. It's extremely rough around the edges (the ceiling is heavily stained and more warped than not) but most of the customers are tourists who did NOT do their homework and didn't realize it's CASH ONLY. There's an ATM inside, so I guess you have to pay the high transaction fee, fool. It's divey looking for sure but a real dive bar has scary locals inside and not 75% tourists with their fanny packs. And absolutely, please do order a Red's hot chicken sandwich next door and have them deliver it to you at Springwater. It's the best hot chicken sandwich you'll have in Nashville.

The fried chicken sandwich might be the best I've had in a long time. Fries held up too. For a stop we made out of necessity, it earned the visit on its own. Lindsey had us Wednesday around 9. She explained everything without being asked twice and checked in at the right moments, never hovering. That kind of service is easy to notice and hard to find that late. Thank you, Lindsey!

We took an Uber over and when we dropped off, the venue itself looked like a trailer home decked out in Christmas lights in the middle of nowhere. The security guy up front also doubled as a photographer and seemed to be waiting for a tip afterwards. The venue is cash only so be sure to bring plenty of cash if you plan to drink a lot. While not in the thick of Nashville, it is still in Nashville, so I did feel intimidated by all the amazing local singers who hit the stage in comparison to my own performances. I was able to sing 5 or 6 songs, and I had a great time!
