I can't express how good these wings are. I like wings but I'm not a crazy wings person- I am crazy for these. My boyfriend and his softball team go here every Thursday- they all get the wings, and he brings me home my own wings. And they're so CHEAP. I'm in love read more

Stopped in based on Yelp's reviews and needed to find a late lunch spot in the area. Someone in the parking lot said "you probably don't want to go here, this is just a bar". We went in anyway. I am in a wheelchair and they had to open a door off the ramp to let me in. Also, there are only high tops so I had to transfer to a stool. I ordered the "house" wings and my wife ordered the burger. The wings were great. Hot and just a little sweet and very messy (I used about 20 napkins). The burger was good and the homemade chips were good but cooked a little too hard. We didn't try the fries. The parking lot guy was right, it is a bar but if you want some really good wings, you should check it out. read more

Out with friends this weekend and one suggested the Centennial to finish watching a game with a beer and a bite. Glad we found this place. My friend described the Centennial as a dive bar. I guess I can see where he is coming from, but I would say more of a neighborhood bar than a true dive (like Dino's or Santa's Pub). First time for me, but the bartender remembered my friends from previous encounters and spent a bit of time getting to know a bit about me, between drink orders, of course. Decent draft beer selection. Not huge, but fairly well curated. Will have to go again to see how often they rotate kegs, but pricing was standard for most bars in Nashville (off the strip, at least). Food is pretty standard pub/bar food, although I did enjoy the Prime Dip and subbed fries instead of house made chips (fries a bit better to dip in jus or mayo). Nothing to write home about, but in the current climate a decent sandwich around the $10-$12 range is a welcome site. I will definitely return when we are over in the Nations area again. Probably on taco Tuesday or burger Thursday. read more

The Centennial has become one of my favorite bars to grab drinks with friends. It's a no frills spot -- very casual and low key, which is a nice reprieve from some of the busier spots in town. I order food every once in a while. I've tried the spicy chicken sandwich, which was spectacular. A true, blackened Cajun-style chicken sandwich is hard to come by in Nashville. It was perfectly seasoned and the spicy mayo tops it off nicely. Most recently, I ordered the cheeseburger, which comes with your choice of cheese, grilled onions, lettuce and tomato. The beef was slightly undercooked for my liking, but I didn't specify how I wanted it cooked so that was on me. I'm not sure what grade of beef they use, but I wasn't crazy about the flavor. The grilled onions were sparse, which was a shame. The bun was terrific, however. The kettle chips and fries are both great accompaniments to the sandwich. If you're in The Nations, I highly recommend paying the Centennial a visit. read more

Centennial wings are the best bar wings in Nashville! Fall off the bone so easily and love how they provide wet wipes. Dope dive bar atmosphere. read more

Burger and wings were very good! Fast service. Called it in and did not eat in. Great neighborhood go-to for burger and wing cravings!

This is a hidden gem. Small menu with big taste. I tried the spicy chicken with fries. Not super spicy but very good and the fresh fries were on point. There are lots of TV with all kinds of sports playing. This place has a huge bar with lots of choices if that's your thing. This place is not Military friendly. read more

Great food, great vibe. I just moved back into the area and this will be a regular place of mine.

Very chill atmosphere. I liked the food. I had the French dip type sandwich and their wings with their house sauce. We got the food quickly after ordering, and our bartender/waitress was friendly and also quick on refills/ordering. read more

Food and service were great! Wings were some of the best wings we've eaten! Reuben was amazing, Turkey club was amazing ...I think everything on the menu is good, you probably can't go wrong!! And our bartender was the best! read more

Great food, amazing staff! I've been living in Nashville since last year and just recently stumbled on this place. It's not your average Nashville bar; they go above and beyond for their customers and make an effort to get to know everyone. Maddi and Justin run the front and never skip a beat. Mikey the chef runs a tight kitchen - great food, cooked perfectly, willing to take some custom requests, and checks with the guests to make sure everything is how they like it. I highly recommend his Buffalo Wings! If you're looking for the right place in the Nations to grab a drink, a bite, and friendly convo - this is worth checking out. read more

Just discovered this great little bar in my hood. Plenty of screens showing games. Really good food with vegetarian options, I love it !

It was a dive bar -on of the employee's words- but clean. Fun, laidback, and lots of sports on if table conversation lags. OHHHH and they have a great hamburger and fries. Seriously, really good! read more

The greatest neighborhood bar of all time. Owners couldn't be any cooler, basically no bad spots inside to watch a game.

Great service and good prices and friendly atmosphere are the main takeaways of this restaurant/bar. Their cauliflower tacos are great. Limited menu with appetizers and sandwiches mostly. But well cooked and variety. read more

Neighborhood "dive bar". Delish burgers and wings. Went for a late lunch. Will be back! read more

Hole in the wall bar, it's definitely a neighborhood bar. I really enjoy it, the beer is good, it's clean and the food is good. It's a quality bar. Sandwiches; burgers nothing to fancy. The bartenders ask you your name when you order, and remember it. read more

I was going to wait until I could grab a bite here before leaving a full review, but I liked this place so much that I decided to 5-star my first visit---what a lovely surprise this place was when I was searching for a quick happy hour treat! Great vibe, friendly staff, and an excellent craft beer selection too(that I hear rotates often!). If I hadn't have been on my way to dinner elsewhere, I'd have scarfed down an order of those tasty looking cauliflower tacos like yesterday. Plenty of parking and seating, very welcoming and funky decor, this bar just hit all the high marks from my divebar-loving self(although honestly, it's not a true divebar---just a lovable retro joint that has that lovable "divey" feel.) Can't wait to come back for those tacos though! read more

First off, best wings in town. This is by far my favorite late night spot. The bartenders are killer and the draft beer selection is on point. read more

Ok, so I may be a bit biased since I'm from a small town in Iowa, but this is the best bar I've found after living in Nashville for a year. Small bar with a big feel! Wood paneling, with old pool hall lights brings you back in time. The bartenders (Sarah, Justin, and Scott) will make you feel right at home. It's a cozy spot to come alone, one other, or many friends, and you always leave with a smile on your face. The food-don't get me started. I hosted my birthday party here and everyone has told me how fun it was, and how great the food is. The chef definitely knows how to cook. My fav is the cauliflower tacos! It's cheap food, cheap beer (including high gravity), and lots of fun. We always bring out of towners here for a good time. read more

Lately we have been on a dive bar kick so we decided to check out The Centennial after our dinner, sine we were in the area. When we pulled up to the bar, three things made me very happy. One, they have an actual parking lot! It's small but we had no problem finding a spot. Two, they had Christmas lights still up outside. Yes, love it. Three, the no smoking sign on the door. I love dive bars, but most of them allow smoking which makes it tough for me to hang out too long. It was so nice to walk inside and be able to breathe! The bar is pretty small but has enough seating. The inside is your typical dive bar scene with a few nice touches. I loved the octopus mural on the wall. Also, the Bill Murray photograph was a nice touch. Really liked the feel of this place. They had plenty of TVs to watch the Predator's game and some dart boards for some more entertainment. The server was really friendly and checked on us regularly. I think they had 2 or 3 people working so there was never a problem getting a drink. I was really surprised by their beer selection. A nice choice of craft beers at a great price. We were there during happy hour so it was $1 off draft beers. We also ordered The Centennial wings which were a nice blend of BBQ and Buffalo wings. The menu had a good selection of food so next time we will have to come hungry! Wish we lived closer so we could come here more often! read more

Heard good things so went after work with my dog hoping to get a cold one and chill on the patio. Nope! No dogs- not even on an outdoor patio. Bartender seemed offended I even asked. ??? So I went down the road to The Nations patio instead, where they gave her a bowl of water, a treat and belly rubs. I'll be back!! I realize this is their prerogative but I live alone and work every day. No way I'm leaving my baby home alone all day and night, so really appreciate The Nations kindness towards dogs. Every other dive bar in Nash, too! The 2 stars are for Swayze. Awesome. read more

This place isn't as cheap as Yelp says. The cheapest beer here is a $3.50 Coors Banquet and a burger costs $9 w/ chips (add $1 for fries). The Centennial has a great feel and the bartender was excellent at his job. If I was rating on service and ambiance, I'd easily give this place a 5 star review. But the food we had was okay at best. I ordered a burger cooked medium and it came out well done and with little flavor. The tacos were fine. You can get much better food at other places in the area for the same price. Overall, I'd definitely stop in here to have a beer with friends, but not to have dinner. read more

Nice clean atmosphere. Very pleasant service. Good plain down home cooking, nice desserts.

If you are looking for a neighborhood bar that is low key and chill then the Centennial is a place for you. It is one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel familiar. Soothing light soft music and a staff that is attentive and not aggressive or overbearing meet exactly what you are looking for. It is seldom that you walk into a place and are immediately relaxed after walking through the doors. I have been to the centennial on more than one occasion and have never left their being unhappy with the service that I have received. They have more than an adequate amount of diversity in their beer selection then even the most discerning connoisseur would expect for a neighborhood pub. Their liquor selection is equal to or better than any that you would find here in West Nashville. After moving to the West Side of Nashville from Germantown I can clearly state that the Centennial is the best neighborhood bar in the city if simply for the fact that it offers great food and drink at a great price. read more

Not sure what the hype is for this place. It's a dive bar with food that is fair to midland at best. The wings were undercooked and just not very good. The fried green beans were the best thing we had but other than that, not really impressed at all. There are far better spots within a 2 mile radius. I don't normally give bad reviews so I won't say this place is bad, just not worth 4 or five stars like most reviewers. Sorry. read more

My wife and I both had the hamburger with pepper jack cheese and homemade chips AWESOME she also had some great Stout draft beer on tap we're going to come back next time and try their wings which were voted best in Nashville for 2017 read more

Came here after reading about their Taco Tuesday special in a local 'Things To Do'-type magazine. It's a little bit out of the way to most of the prime Nashville hotspots, located in 'The Nations' neighborhood, but is a great little neighborhood bar. It has the size of a dive bar, but it seems too nice to refer to it as a 'dive'. Great for sports lovers as they have several TV's around the bar. The level of service was also much higher than at what you'd traditionally think of getting at a dive bar. $2 tacos for whatever is the Taco of the Week and a daily happy hour This week's was a brisket taco topped with coleslaw and it was fantastic. The kind that you want to eat more of (I had 3), but are self-conscious about the prospect of ordering 'another round of tacos'... The chips and queso starter was also tasty. read more

This is my personal favorite bar in Nashville. If you're into little dives this is just the spot for you. Kitchen closes kind of early but the wings are elite! Really nice staff and plenty of TVs for watching any games. Probably gonna try and get married here. Bury me under the bar. read more

4.5 I really need to spend more time in The Nations. I realize that the west side is the new east side and there's a lot of new biz and new transplant activity over there, but the various neighborhoods/areas (can we get some Nashville borders? The official city limits stop... where? Sylvan Park?) are interesting to explore. I really enjoy discovering new (to me) parts of the metro. That said, I wound up at The Centennial by mistake. I'd heard of it. I'd covered it. But I was in The Nations to meet up with a friend at another location. Since said location deigned to open on a Monday, a quick check of my memory banks* and we wound up at The Centennial. Excellent choice. First of all, they have happy hour from 3-7. Yes, please. I am not drinking much beer these days (sad trombone) but I am all in with liquor. $4 well drinks generously served in a thick glass will always get my attention and appreciation. Secondly, the music is fun. It's cool without trying hard and fits the mood of the bar. And let's talk about the bar: it's a 'clean dive.' Classy. It has the 'everyone's welcome, especially folks from the neighborhood' vibe but it's clean, the people are nice, nothing's sticky, and the owner (Justin) is a really good guy, committed to showing off his place to any and everyone who enters. The decor has a touch of regal beagle-ness (read: retro) but it fits the neighborhood and the building. From what I understand, Justin had to build out most everything except the kitchen but I think he did an awesome job creating an environment suited to all day/all night drinking, talking and having a low-key good time. I mentioned the kitchen. I didn't partake of the cooked goods, but my chips, salsa and queso for $5 was quite nice. The queso comes in a separate tub. It's pretty thick and veers on tasteless but the salsa is where it's at. It's bright, addictive and delicious. If it comes out of a jar, let me know which one so I can buy it. The chips tasted homemade and were pretty tasty of their own as well. I'd like to come back on a weekend afternoon to get an even better feel for the bar but on a Monday late afternoon, I was very happy with my new find. More than just a great neighborhood bar, The Centennial is a great destination bar. Just don't [redacted] it up. *To be honest, I passed it and it came immediately to mind. read more

Great staff- was surprised how well they managed the Sunday football crowd. Would like to have more things on the menu but everything we ordered was solid and came out quickly. read more

The centennial definitely lives up to it's reputation for great cocktails. I stopped in after a concert on a weekend . The wait wasn't too bad maybe about 15 minutes. Once we got seated at the bar, we were greeted by our bartender. Neither of us were really feeling for anything on the menu. I was looking more for a classic drinks. I ordered two drinks and both drinks were made incredibly well. I am picky about my drinks and the drinks that I ordered were very well done. I love how they leave finishing components out in front of you as they build your order. Very cool. read more
