"McNamara’s was founded by husband-and-wife team Sean and Paula McNamara in 2010. The Gaelic phrase for whiskey, uisce beatha, means “water of life” and this Irish pub offers plenty of it, boasting one of the largest Irish whiskey selections in the state. The atmosphere delivers what you’d expect out of any Irish pub, with a lively dining room facing a stage that hosts some of Nashville’s best Celtic musicians almost every night. Head upstairs for darts, additional seating and a small bar. Food options include traditional standouts like shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, or the full Irish breakfast (Saturdays and Sundays only)." - Justin Bonnema
