I love the vibe of this place. A record store / bar / venue. Such a fun concept. The crowd was equally great and exactly what you'd expect. The music was on point with a dj and then live band. I did try to order food at the truck outside but the didn't have any buzzers at the moment and then I just forgot to go back out. Also wish they had some n/a selections at the bar. But I enjoyed myself even without food and drinks. read more

Here's a place in Nashville that's not a plain old bar. It sells records and adult beverages. Four of us stopped in to have something to sip on and browse. It brought back memories as we rediscovered music from our past. Then we moved outside just to enjoy the evening and sat at the outside tables. If you're hungry, there is a food truck serving burgers in the lot as well. We didn't try that but other patrons told us that the burgers were very good. It's a great place to spend some time. I'd recommend it! read more

Vinyl Tap - Bar area - Beer Bar Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Vinyl tap is so underrated!! Just come and get yourself a pint- you'll see. Vinyl tap is a very unique blend of a vinyl shop and a bar (mostly beer), who coulda guessed. Vinyl tap is a great location. Lots of places you can walk to near by if you wanted to make a night out of it. Everyone is always so nice and helpful. I always make a point to ask the bar tender what beer I should get based on whats on tap here. There was one time I got dream burger and wasn't really feeling a beer. I ended up sitting at the bar anyways and they were still so nice even though I had stated I wasn't going to be ordering anything at the bar. I appreciated that! read more

Vinyl Tap - Beer Bar Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

What could be better than a divey record bar with a great beer selection? I've been to Vinyl Tap a handful of times now, and it's always a great hang. I'm not a record collector, but my friends who are absolutely love being able to browse through what's new while sipping their brews. The service is fast and friendly, and they do a great job with a crowd! We stopped in during Music Bingo night, and while it was definitely busy, we still had our drinks in hand quickly. My favorite drink on tap right now is the PB&J Mixtape from Xul Beer Company. It's from a microbrewery in Knoxville, and I swear it tastes exactly like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Even if you're not a beer person, I have a feeling that you'll like this brew. It's sweet, salty, full of flavor ... plus it's the prettiest shade of purple. Cheers! read more

This is a record store with a bar and food option too. I only went for a look around but they have many options. The staff is friendly and they know all the music. Definitely a cool hipster spot. read more

Incredible online buying experience - they had a hard to find album I was looking for, and despite very inexpensive shipping costs it arrived quickly and in perhaps the best packing I've yet to see a record ever shipped in. Couldn't be happier, will be back for more! read more

Vinyl Tap is the greatest establishment to ever exist. I can't stress this enough. There has never been a bar with a better sense of community than this place. AND the Dreamburger truck outside is the best burger you will have in Nashville hands down. read more

Tons of records and even more local brews to choose. Vinyl Tap is one of my favorite East side gems. You get to drink while you shop, what's better than that? Tons of events too, so check their event calendar and Instagram to see the latest happening. Vinyl bingo is a new favorite of mine. I've found countless of rare records here and I'm sure there's even more to discover! Stop in! If you've lived here and never been, what are you doing? read more

Vinyl Tap - a record store filled with records - Beer Bar Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A paradigm shift in record stores that I couldn't really enjoy as much as it could be enjoyed. This is what happens when you combine neighborhood bar with record store. In a former life, I'd have worked and lived here. I don't know if there's an upstairs, but if they'd had one circa 2015, I'd have taken a job as general overseer, worked for free, and lived out my days spinning discs and being a pillar of the derelict community as the occasional train passed by just north. Maybe in the next lifetime. This lifetime, however, I got to enjoy the record store part. The collection and offerings are eclectic. I was looking for my usual quarry, the odd Third Man live pressing here or there, some used '90s alt rock, or new era soul (Durand Jones, Nathaniel Rateliff, The Heavy). Digging through the bins, I happened upon JJ Grey and Mofro's latest, grab it, and checked out. While waiting, I was delighted to see that this is a place where parents in the late 20s bring their babies...and I do not mean this as a bad thing. It's a chill vibe; the staff is helpful (juxtapose to Jack Black's character in High Fidelity; none of that elitist slacker scoffing as is endemic among mainstay holder over vinyl places run by Gen Xers) if not welcoming and hospitable, it's not too loud, and fairly secluded. A nice hideaway/ respite from the real world (queue the Cheers theme song: here). read more

Vinyl Tap serves as a great community space for music lovers and beer drinkers alike. You can often find live music or listening parties happening here, and you can browse their selection of vinyl records while you enjoy the music. They have a great selection of local artist records as well as local brews, you can tell they are well in tune with the Nashville community, which is why the community loves this spot! The Dreamburger truck outside serves up the best smash burgers in town on weekends, you can bring your burger into vinyl tap. Remember to enjoy happy hour at the bar on weeknights! read more

This is such a fun and unique concept for a bar! Can't think of what goes together better than beer and music! The beer selection is fantastic! We were hopping around, so I only had one, but I could have easily had more. There's even food! The music selection is impressive. If you're a music lover, this is the place for you! The vibe is laid back. The staff are super friendly. If I lived in Nashville, I'd be a regular! read more

Vinyl Tap - A record and a beer I purchased. - Beer Bar Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Very cool vibe! Record store mixed with a bar and DJ playing vinyl. Perfect start to my first Friday night visiting Nashville. Seems like the local hang too as I chatted with a couple who lived nearby. They gave me some great options for dining over the weekend. The vibe was so chill. They do have a few food options to snack on also. My drink was very well mixed by one of the bartenders and he was sure to add a cherry (luxardo not maraschino) IYKYK. I found some good vinyl picks to bring home so all in all this was an awesome place for me! read more

We stopped in here for a quick bite to eat/drink while waiting on our Air BnB to become available for check in. Actually, that's kind of bullshit. We stopped here because I saw the building and it's obvious badassery and music tie in plus it's a bar?!? Omg. I screamed in excitement (and then in protestation as we were passing it) and nearly caused my fiancé to wreck my poor little Honda. I absolutely loved everything about this place. The noms, the drinks, the beer, the atmosphere, the people, the music choice. *shivers with delight* If I lived in Nashville this would be one of my regular haunts. I'm always up for a stiff drink, good food, great conversation with a bartender (and his beautiful wife), and for scanning through the latest vinyl records they've acquired. Hard swipe right on this place. Hell yeah. read more

Vinyl Tap - Beer Bar Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

First off this is a cool neighborhood spot to checkout; a bar, records and large screen tv all in one ! I didn't have a whole lot of time and only poked my head in for about 15 minutes as I was grabbing food across the street at Cafe Roze. Was able to quickly checkout the vinyl landscape which was comprised of 90-95% new/used rock/pop based music with small sprinkling of jazz and other genres. Could definitely come here to hang and grab a few drinks with friends read more

Good place to grab a drink. Vinyl tap is part vinyl store and part bar. They have an extensive tap list and a number of signature cocktails. They have two televisions for sports watching and frequently have live bands. It's a darkly lit and small bar with plenty of charm. Vinyl Tap has a little something for everyone and I would recommend checking them out. read more

I've been due for a return visit and updated review for some time considering I first reviewed this place 6 years ago! Very glad they survived the COVID years and are still here. I stopped in this week because I saw they were hosting a meet and greet + record signing by The Watson Twins! Well worth a visit and it was great to pick up their new record, get it signed and have the chance to speak with them. That experience alone prompted my upgrade to 5 stars, cool that they host events like this. But the upgrade is also due to just an appreciation of the whole vibe this place has going for them. The bartenders and staff are super friendly and the craft beer offerings are on point. There are also some solid cocktail choices. Not to mention records! In addition to my signed TWT album I picked up a few new and used records from my wish list, including a signed Lilly Hiatt album and a used Leonard Cohen I've wanted for some time. My old review docked them for price--and, to be honest, records here are still on the higher end of things. I'd say prices for used and new LPs seem to run 5-10% higher than at other record stores in town. But I enjoyed myself too much to hold that against them now, and to be fair they have titles I haven't seen elsewhere. After a couple of beers I was totally fine with paying a bit more to support such a cool business and to ensure other future events like this one. The DJ was playing great music the whole time, too! I'll definitely be back. read more

Awesome place to grab a bite and shop for vinyl. Great brews and nice vibe. Parking can be a challenge, but well worth that aggravation.

THIS. IS. VINYL. TAP. Hold up. A local biz that doubles as a bar and record store? Nashville, you lucky dog. I'd hang out here all the time. I think the reason Vinyl Tap succeeds is because the bar is a perfectly good bar as is and the record portion is a perfectly good record store as is. Having both enhances each experience, but one doesn't necessarily get in the way of the other to have a good time if you're not into one. Friendly staff over at the bar that recommended a great, local beer. I believe it was a milk stout and it was damn tasty. Coolest part of the concept is that you can drink beer while sifting through records!! And they even installed cupholders along the way. Genius. Great selection of new and used across all major genres, including some of the niche ones that I'm into. My only qualm? The records were packed so tightly on the shelves that it made it rather taxing to skim through. If they had a few extra shelves on hand, this problem would be eliminated. Also, the punk and metal genres were on the bottom shelf. And basically the only way to search through them are to stick your entire head into the case while close to the ground, which isn't all that fun. Now don't take this the wrong way, because they still rocked a killer selection! From the name to the staff, to the beer to the vinyl, this place boasts a chill atmosphere with cool music in a unique setting. Nashville, if you haven't been you MUST check out Vinyl Tap! read more

Loved this unique and fun concept in Nashville. Came to shop for records and ended up enjoying a cocktail at the bar. There is also a small stage which has live performers and DJs. Only wish I could have spent more time here! read more

A place any red-blooded record collector or music head will not only love but likely wish they worked at. Enough room to hang out and a great selection of beers on tap with a food truck parked out front means you could probably just live here until your significant other drags you away East parking with a dedicated parking lot and nearby smaller neighborhoods. Across the street on one side is ice cream, another is coffee, and next to coffee is a tattoo shop. A little something for everyone on this corner. read more

We were in the area on vacation and saw this place pop up. Super cool place to sit back and enjoy a beer - they have a pretty good list of options for beers. They did have a food truck outside as well we did not try. I stopped by during the day, but at night apparently they have some music that I would have come back for if we were not leaving that day. Totally a place you'd expect in Nashville, I highly recommend it. read more

Love Vinyl Tap!! Nice local spot with great drink options and a cute collection of records to sort through. I think it's a unique idea for a store and feel lucky to live by it. read more

Fantastic spot! Orderly experience for Record Store Day and loved the outdoor bands and food trucks while I was visiting Nashville for the the RnR marathon. Managed to snag a copy of the Tori Amos b-sides LP thanks to a super nice woman I was chatting with online to get it. Def would love to comb their shelves not on RSD! read more

If you love craft beers and great vinyl (to listen to AND purchase) then this is your spot. They have a full bar, a small menu and lots of tables to invite friends. Great craft beer selection with a bartender that will match you with the perfect pint. They will buy your used records if in good shape, or perhaps trade (don't know but hopeful). Of course, my husband couldn't help but say repeatedly "this is vinyl tap", yes play on words of course. We parked around the corner on the street without much fuss and enjoyed the short walk through the neighborhood. I tell you though it's like putting an alcoholic in a liquor store though as I always feel the need to purchase a new album each time! Damn you Vinyl Tap! My only complaint, and has nothing to do with the establishment itself, is when did albums start to cost so damn much? I know, showing my age for sure! read more

Vinyl Tap - Street view - Beer Bar Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This place confuses me. If you want a bar, open a bar. If you want a venue, open a venue. If you want a record store, open a record store. Just feels a little discombobulated and confusing. Staff was uneducated about beers on tap and the record selection was underwhelming. But, other people seem to enjoy it. Feels very niche. read more

As someone visiting from out of state.This place is killing it. The staff is so welcoming and sweet. I can get intimidated going into record shops back home in Orange County. But this place is nothing but nice people just wanting to share what they love & have a good conversation. Honestly a big highlight of my short time in Nashville. read more

Vinyl Tap - They saw us pondering who was playing & let us know who it was. We ended up buying the album it caught our attention that much. - Beer Bar Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My boyfriend and I got dropped off in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere, as we prepared to kill 6 hours before our departing flight back home. Turns out the middle of nowhere houses two of the best pubs/ breweries we've had the pleasure of visiting. Vinyl Taps was incredible. The staff was friendly, prices were great, beer was amazing, food was delicious (and even more delicious when we were starving and finished it on the plane hours later). The vibe was cool, laid back and super unique. Definitely stop here. read more

Our Airbnb was right next door so I had to check it out. Disclaimer: this review is just for the record store, I didn't get a chance to eat here. But I think it's a great business plan to put a record store right next to a bar. have a few drinks before you go shopping and it's almost guaranteed you buy something. From what I saw it was 80% new vinyl and then some used in the back area. I found a Beastie Boys record that I had been searching for so I walked away happy. They had a great selection of different genres. read more

This place is pretty dang nifty. Do you want a local craft beer before, after or dare I say.... during the tickling of fresh vinyl? Peruse things like Tom Waits while you sip from a tulip, or maybe you would rather have a pint while securing the box set of WU-TANG?! That's nothing to f^*+ with if you ask me. There's a few televisions, plenty of tables and what appears to be a stage for live action in your face real life music players! WOW. I know, try to contain yourself please, it's almost too much to bare as I drink yet another tasty brew off of the limited time chalk board. That's right, in addition to the usual fancy tappers, there is a rotating list that you can jive on while I kick it up to eleven and let that music jam my face off. Come here for beer. Come here for music. Come here to see your friend Jim. Just hurry up and get inside! read more

Fantastic set up and had me feeling like I was at home. Beer was great and prices on records was perfect. Pure mint.
