"Melrose Billiards stands out among Nashville dives thanks to the sheer amount of activities they offer: multiple pool, ping pong, and foosball tables, dartboards, and a shuffleboard setup all available for those bored of small talk. Originally established in 1944, they’ve been through it: flooding, no-holds-barred indoor smoking, and a temporary closing in 2016. But the “Dirty Melrose” persists, thanks to current owners who reopened the neighborhood’s favorite basement bar with a little spitshine, but plenty of the old character. The bar has standard local beers and liquor mixed drinks, plus all the free popcorn your little heart desires." - Bailey Freeman
