Fran’s - Review - East Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"It doesn’t get more classic than Fran’s, which has been open since 1968. Despite moving to a new location in 2021, this dive stolidly retains its Old Nashville energy. Fran’s is for the minimalists: cash-only, beer-only, and nary a beer on the menu over $4. Score a domestic bucket for $14 and ward off hunger pangs with chips, pickles, and Slim Jims, all running under $2. Head over during the week for songwriter and comedy nights, or make the journey out to Dickerson Pike late night on the weekends for karaoke on the bar’s cat-themed stage." - Bailey Freeman
