While one would naturally think of Broadway when it comes to bars and overall action in Nashville, you shouldn't discount Printer's Alley; there are several businesses here that provide just as much entertainment and it's way less hectic than the former. My hotel was right around the corner from Printer's Alley, so I made a few laps during my time in Nashville and stumbled upon Snitch; it looked like a cool spot so I decided to make my way in to check it out. What really drew me into Snitch was the music - live music in bars are a dime a dozen in Nashville, however the group playing here the night I went were awesome. Outside of the music, the bar itself is pretty standard - it's rectangular with a fair amount of tables and decent amount of stools at the bar. Aesthetics are kinda casual - nothing really to stand out in terms of decor. Drinks were good, I had two rounds and both were tasty. The bartenders and staff were great - they were attentive and despite a crowd of people walking in midway through my visit doing a bar crawl, they made sure we were all taken care of. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Snitch - it's worth stopping in as you're exploring Printer's Alley. read more

Great bar in Printers Alley. If Garden of Eden is playing there, it is a must go. It wasn't very crowded when we arrived (around 7) so we were able to find a table. Started filling up an hour or so later and as folks passed hearing the band. read more

We were wandering down Printers Alley waiting for our dinner reservation time at another place, and heard a good Foo Fighters cover song playing here. It pulled us in, cause we love alt rock and it was refreshing to get away from the onslaught of country. The band was called Yearlove and was taking requests. I gave them a tip via Venmo and asked them to do Beastie Boys and it was awesome. A very small place, thankfully not overly crowded, but had a nice group of slightly to more than slightly drunk folks all singing along to some cool rock music. Bar had Black Abbey on tap which was awesome. Was tired of paying a premium price on bottled beer. We had a good time here. (Bathrooms are in the back by the exit sign). read more

Cool little spot. We wondered in on a Friday night because of the duo that was performing. Stayed a listened to their whole set. Saturday night, the place was packed and we didn't even think about trying to enter. (It also seemed like it opened a lot later on Saturday night.) Cool bar vibe. read more

I visited the snitch for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The vibe was so much fun and the bartender Chandler was amazing I have never seen a bartender move so fast and take care of and be so attentive to go many guests at 1 time. He was also so entertaining felt like i waa on tge scene at the old Tom Cruise movie, Cocktails! Definitely an asset to your organization. I will be back! read more

Every single bar in Nashville is packed to the top and This place had just the right amount of people for there to be good vibes without the risk. The bartender was nice and cute . read more

Snitch - a bar with candles and people in the background - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I loved this place initially, but not the second time. I realize it is because I was in the mood for some mellow solo act for chilling. On Thursday, this cozy place had a keyboard playing girl singer who was engaging. She took requests, and sang Carole King, Queen, Beatles, Norah Jones, and even Amy Winehouse. Her voice was very pleasant, close to Norah Jones. When I went back on Friday, there was a rock band. I think the venue is too small for the drums, and the reverberation was too much. I guess I wasn't in the mood. Drinks are OK, the venue is cute. I'll come back for acoustic solo night. read more

Snitch - Such a cool vibe and ambience - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The way you make your line try and look long while you have people in line and BARELY any people inside is wild . You might have live music but give people a little more and just let them in besides making them wait in line . NOT COOL. read more

We love the band Garden of Eden and they play this tiny venue often. The place is small but overflows with a fun crowd.

Wow! Their bartender, Chandler, crafted some pretty amazing cocktails. I told him I liked gin and my boyfriend said Mezcal and he immediately knew what to do. The drinks were incredible and I requested the same drink again and it was just as good so consistency is also there. Wow! The live music was such a blast. We requested alternative music from 2000-2010s and the band delivered. Come through if you want a low key vibe with great sports bar/ cocktails/alt music. Loved it. read more

My husband and I came to Snitch on our last night in Nashville/on my husband's birthday. We were looking for a speakeasy vibe with live music that wasn't strictly country and we definitely found that here. From reviews I've seen a mix of vibe/performances, so I'm just strictly going off of what happened when were were there on a Thursday night. Our bartender was a man who was straight to the point, professional, and made amazing drinks quickly. He was the only one work the bar on 9/15 and was able to serve every single person with no long waits. I heard him even take the time to make recommendations for people who weren't quite sure what they wanted. Something else I super appreciated was that our friend from out of town called the business and paid for a birthday shot for my husband. The bartender was able to accommodate that and was super kind about it. The music was amazing! Is was a young woman that sang so beautifully. She took requests and played great oldies like Amy Winehouse, Queen, The Temptations, etc. She gave us the exact chill great vibe we were looking for. read more

This is really not a cocktail bar. If you are coming here looking for fun, exciting cocktails this is not that. I was expecting a cocktail menu at least but they don't have that. The women behind the bar seemed a little clueless, so I ended up getting champagne and my fiancee had a beer. They have TVs which is nice as we were able to catch a football game. They had someone playing a guitar and singing which was way too loud (the bar was not crowded at all, maybe 15 people in here) and he also wasn't very good. We ended up leaving because it was just overbearingly loud. This bar seems to not know what it wants to be - a cocktail bar? a sports bar? a music venue? Too much going on. read more

Sadly 3 stars(actually 5, but I can't bcuz of the crappy bartender)5 stars for the aMazing bands aNd 0 stars for the icky rude bartender .. your in the wrong business babe, take that shitty attitude elsewhere! The bands here are amazing & so fun here, they can really pick great musicians here. This is a great place to sit and enjoy music in Printers Ally, but if you are looking for a great bar menu you won't find one here. And afterwards make sure you grab a yummi hotdog right across the way! read more

Snitch - .. ' ! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We went here both Thursday and Saturday nights. Both nights kinda slow but good honest drinks and great music. However, a haggardly lady customer was apparently jelly and flipped me off for no damned reason whatsoever as i danced minding my own biz with my 2 VERY beautiful amigas. I said "booooo!". Told doorman yet moments later 2 dimwit security wankers kicked us all out. Yes, makes a whole lotta sense-- its kinda like breaking up with someone because they wouldn't cheat on you. Idiotic. Rotglmao.. Yall need to know where your breads buttered. Rotglmao. Won't be back -- i guess the haggardly lady will have plenty drinks by her lonesome. read more

Great rock and roll music and a cool vibe. Definitely a nice place to take a break from the chaos and country music of Broadway.

We stopped by tonight and had a great time. The ambiance is so cool and comfortable. We thought the staff was great and the drinks were stiff. We loved the bands playing as well! We were able to bring food from across the street. read more

Snitch - a group of people sitting at tables in a restaurant - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Went here with friends. Bartender didn't give friend the loose change. My friend said I guess that 41 cents is your tip. She had planned on giving a $5 tip because she is just like that. She went and sat down, the bartender came over and said excuse me but did I ring up something wrong? My friend said you didn't give me my change. The bartender told her it's only 41 cents. It didn't matter if it was a small amount but don't just keep the change. The bartender said nobody on lower Broadway gives loose change. We said why don't you charge an even amount then? She told her to finish her drink and leave because we weren't welcome there and made us leave. she even called security on us. we were there less than 5 minutes total read more

Bartenders had no clue how to make an Old Fashion or a Texas Tea. #AtLeastTry. Drinks were yuk. Entire night of tips went to the Band. FANTASTIC read more

One of the few bars where the bartender worked their ass off. Drinks were quick and fantastic despite being shorter on staff. The band The garden of Eden played and they were absolutely FANTASTIC. The covers of Hendrix and Black Sabbath were so impressive. I loved this place I had to be dragged out by the people I came with. read more

Great band. Good drinks. Amazing vibes. Totally out of sync with the standard Nashville pub, in a good way.

Great music, great drinks, and right across the street from an awesome hotdog place. 10/10 would recommend

We got lucky with this one . We snuck in right before there was a wait on a Saturday night. Caught a sweet band that was there and had perfect seats right by the stage. Drinks were good and fast service. Clean bathrooms and good vibe . All around good time here . read more

Ordered a simple jack and coke and a Whiskey sour tab was $39. Nothing special about the drinks at all. Bartenders were not the best either. I will never go back to this place. read more

I came with a group of girls who were all Nashville natives and grew up going downtown and to printers alley. Happy hour was not as advertised on website. When we inquired about to we were told they they could not honor what was listed on the site. The bartenders were kind and gracious but the drinks were overpriced and less than impressive read more

This is my absolute favorite bar in town and here is why - Have to kick this off with the staff- Daniel and Steven are the best at what they do hands down. I was a complete stranger to them and now I feel like family every time I go. They are equal parts professional, hospitable and entertaining to all their guests. They are extremely talented and have made me some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Daniel and Steven make it an experience that is impossible to forget and will have you wanting to come back every weekend. I could sit at that bar from open to final call and feel welcome and taken care of every single time. I can not say enough nice things about these guys and the rest of the staff. Thank you for always treating us to a wonderful evening. The atmosphere is also incredible. They always have the best djs and play an assortment of songs that would appeal to all crowds. There is plenty of seating and plenty of standing room to hang with parties of all sizes. The staff is quick to get you in the door and serve you. The drinks are top notch. Pretty much anything you can think of - you can have it. I personally recommend letting the bartenders dream something up for you. You will not be disappointed! read more

No social distancing enforced, no masks, people were dancing and so close to one another. The bathrooms were an insanitary disaster and a man who told me he was the general manager sat at the bar all night and watched. That was my first and last time there. read more

I wasn't at all impressed with the bartender. If you're going to run out of Jack Daniel's (seriously), and you have a bottle of GentlemanJack sitting right there, then good customer service says you use the Gentleman Jack in its place for the same price. Duh!! Made me wait 20 minutes for my drink while they went out and got Jack Daniels! read more

We ordered 2 cocktails, there was no drink menu, tabbed our after one round and the bill was $37 for 2 mediocre cocktails. That made each cocktail about $18.50 each... they won't last with drinks that high and not even that great. read more

We were very excited to go down Painters Alley. Unfortunately, me and my party who paid with cash were taken advantage of by the bartender. My husband paid for most drinks with credit card, $10 for a Grey Goose and pineapple was very reasonable. When I ordered a Tito's and pineapple and paid with cash, the bartender (same one) charged me $15 for the Tito's. My advice if you go, pay with card so the bartender doesn't take advantage of you. The band was great and took requests. read more

Went there to see the band and the customers in there were all disgustingly drunk and the bartenders still served everyone of them. At one point a drunk male was grabbing women by the privates and making them uncomfortable. Security was made aware and just kept drinking and eating his candy. Went to use the bathroom.. Puke all over every toilet... First and last time going. read more

Great little place and vibe with good drinks and live music. Not too crowded on a friday night.

Good cocktails. Good music. I'm not from around these parts so I'm not sure if this keeps up with the high standards of Nashville but I dig it. Pricey but it's a different vibe than the honky tonks on bway. Again, the music is really good. read more

We stopped in for a drink and stayed for a few. Comfortable spot with an upscale vibe. Also, good music and a welcome departure from the honky tonks on Broadway. read more

They aadvertise that they specialize in craft cocktails such as a deconstructed Pina colada and include a list of specialty cocktails in their bar description, but in personn I asked about their cockktail menu they saId they don't have one. There are also no specialty drinks listed at the bar. Basically they present as something they are not and serve the same basic drinks you can get in any bar. read more

Wows this bar is amazing. Talk about something fresh and new! Shannon is one of the best bar tenders I have ever had and I drink extensively. This bar is super attentive and wonderful. Super glad I tried this new little joint! read more

Terrible customer service. Bartenders were extremely rude to customers, even cursing at customers. I'm not sure how the bartending bills fan from last night has a job there. The owner needs to know she's running away business. From the moment our group walked in, we were met with nasty glares, and a resistance to come take our orders. It was clear that she didn't want us at snitch. After we left and were standing outside with our group she ran outside and down the alley, came back with a guy and informed us that we could all go "fuck off" because she got security. As we calmly stood there dumbfounded by how over dramatic this girl was being. The security guy apologized for her actions and said it's not the first time she's been this out of control. Yikes. Avoid this place and pray for the people that own the establishment. read more
