    Great service and awesome local venue to hear the best musicians come through. Nice outside patio and inside has a pool table and good seating options.

    It's a dive bar. Set expectations. But the Guthrie Trapp trio plays there, which gets this place an automatic 5-stars. The best $10 you will spend in Nashville is for a ticket to see them. Staff is friendly. Enjoy the Underdog!

    All the small town bar vibes. There's not many places left in Nashville where you can get a beer for $3. I will definitely be back!

    Dino's was high on my bucket list when in Nashville since they were closed the last time I tried…read morecoming. It was our first stop of the night as we grabbed some counter seats. This spot has a real dive bar vibe with many locals here. For food, we ordered Joe's Hot Chicken ($10) and Cheeseburger ($8) with Bacon ($2) and Egg ($2). We also got a basket of Fries ($5) made Animal Style (+$5). It's an open kitchen, so you get to watch the food being grilled, especially being seated at the counter. The hot chicken came with three pieces, but I found the meat quite dry and needed the sauce a lot. The cheeseburger is solid though, but quite standard. Surprisingly, my favorite thing here was the animal fries, but just a tad too drenched with sauce too. I was just expecting more for the food since they're so popular for their hot chicken and burgers. Of course we also had a couple drinks. I had a Mezcal Margarita ($13) and Four Roses Ginger Beer Mixed Drink ($8), which were decent. The cups are pretty tiny and most filled with ice. For a dive bar, it's not really worth it either. The add-ons and extra are also quite pricey and not really worth it either.

This place is no frills, tasty bar food. Everything you crave when alcohol has hit the spot. Loved the alt music played - no country here thank gods. They have an outdoor area if you're into that thing. I prefer my dark cozy booth.

The atmosphere is exceedingly diverting, and the service unfailingly attentive. Their selection of drinks and cocktails proves most agreeable, and the live music, I must say, is of exceptional quality lending the evening an air of spirited delight. The company one finds there is likewise pleasing; a convivial crowd, ever inclined to dancing and merriment. It is, in every respect, a most entertaining place to pass an evening. I would also note, with satisfaction, that the burgers are by no means lacking in merit.

    Loved the vibe unfortunately the service we did not love…read more We sat at the bar, waited a few minutes. Someone finally approached us. We placed an order for two cocktails and we opened up a tab. We then proceeded to place an order of food. We finished our cocktails and finished our food. After waiting for about 15 minutes and no one acknowledged us, we waved one of the bartenders down as she approached the cash register and requested to close out. The bartender seemed bothered that we flagged her down and quickly turned back using a micro aggressive tone and responded that she needed to complete helping a customer before she can help us. I have worked in customer service/food and cocktail industry and her tone/response was completely unnecessary. We have been to a few "dive" bars in the past In CA, NY, AZ, TX, AL and other parts of Tennessee and we have never encountered a response like that before. Maybe it was a busy Saturday afternoon or maybe they do not cater to diversity. Regardless we will not be returning.

    Red Door - Nashville…read more I had one of the most uncomfortable door experiences I've had in Nashville, and I found it both disgusting and shameful. Our group arrived at Red Door dressed well and prepared to enjoy the evening after attending an industry holiday party. At the entrance, the way our group was handled felt inconsistent and unfair. One person was allowed in without being asked for ID, while another member of our group was stopped and told to remain outside because of a fake fur jacket. There was no clear explanation, no consistent application of rules, and no attempt to handle the situation respectfully. Watching different standards applied to people in the same group was confusing and upsetting. The way this was handled felt arbitrary and, from my perspective, discriminatory in nature. Being excluded while others were allowed to enter freely was humiliating and unnecessary, and it completely ruined what was meant to be a celebratory night. The overall experience at the door was, in my opinion, disgusting and shameful. This reflects very poorly on how Red Door manages its entrance and the individuals representing the venue. Based on this experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment.

    This seemed like a great place to get to watch a Cubs game in Nashville during the play-offs, but…read morethere was just way way too much cigarette smoke. In Chicago, there's no smoking in restaurants, including the outdoor patio seating. So we were surprised that it's allowed and so common in Nashville. I couldn't stay. Had to leave after just 4-5 minutes, as I can't be around smoke for health reasons. My siblings stayed and enjoyed their night. I didn't get to order food or anything though. Had to take an Uber back to our AirBnB while they watched the game. It was nice to be in a crowd of Cubs fans, even for only 4-5 minutes! But sad about the cigarette smokers all around me.
