Neighbors of Sylvan Park

Best wings in Nashville!! Falling off the bones good! I mean, don’t settle for anything less than these wings. They are smoked, flavorful (it’s important you choose the right ones though) and tender. I got half of hot rub and half of garlic parm and I’ll definitely order garlic parm next. I’m more of a dry wings person but their wet sauce wings were so much better than the dry ones. I’ll most probably try Buffalo and garlic parm next. Staff was super friendly and quick to take orders and bring food. They didn’t let the food sit in the kitchen and getting cold - we entered the place and left in less than an hour. I also liked the vibe of this place, it was pretty relaxed. There’s a parking lot of a park nearby that you can park at and walk a block if you aren’t in a mood to find street parking or parallel parking. I’d be going there again, in fact, I can’t wait to go there again!

If you're looking for a great place to watch a game on Sunday, this would be a great choice. While they cater towards the Titans, they also do their best to accommodate other groups. Not only was their staff great, but the food was amazing. Mix that with the patio and all around atmosphere, I would call this a top place to go in Nashville. I will definitely be going back. Update: After a few more visits here I can only say it somehow seemed to get better. The food seems to be getting better and the service is always top-notch. This is now definitely my number one spot to grab a bite and watch the game with some great people.

Best bar in the country. Katie and Leah are phenomenal. Don’t come if you hate good service and great atmosphere

Stopped here for lunch while i was walking my dog. The patio area was dog friendly and even had bowls of water for them.

The totchos were pretty good, and I liked the queso on there. The appetizer tray was decent, but nothing really stood out to me.

Katie Hoover, Was absolutely incredible and honestly is one of the main reasons we will be coming back. My wife and I love her!

Emily Knecht was absolutely phenomenal, never took a break but still gave our table the best service! I would 100% come back!

I’ve been coming here for years. The owner is super greedy and places excessive costs on patrons. Also, the service has gone down hill the last year and a half. The new staff today is very inexperienced and does a terrible job checking the customers itemized count. Last night I got charged for 2 buckets of beer and 4 shots. I had 1 beer. The staff said the owner doesn’t allow them to change until the next day. Very unprofessional. Seems like the owner only cares about her expenses and cogs - not the customer experience. I do not recommend this place by any means. Also, they quit taking cash. Which I find hilarious. Also, I’ve worked in the bar industry for 18 years. Our party was ready to spend over $600 in cash but thankfully for bad service and experience we closed out early and went to the Nations Bar and Grill (new spot - great experience). I have a ton more complaints but I’ve said enough. I’ll add that the owner , she was very very rude to our party. We couldn’t believe it. She blamed us. HA!

They need to fire the little Parking Nazi - Barbara Cox at the Germantown location. She has cars towed from the private lot while they are dining next door at Geist. Apparently it happens pretty regularly and she then lies about informing the hostess at Geist so they can alert their customers. Maybe she is getting kickbacks from the towing company because the little Nazi does it regularly.

What in the world happened to Neighbors?! They're trying SO hard to be ML Rose, but failing miserably! The past three weekends, it's been like a ghost town--because the whole staff is new! I think they did a full staff reboot, but why are they making everyone sit like it's a restaurant now? And they were playing the NEWS on a Saturday night after a SEC CF win?! Who hurt you, Neighbors?! And seriously, why on earth would they get rid of the other bar and darts?! What the hell is happening?! Change of management? Midlife crisis? Whatever it is, this place is NOT the vibe anymore. It used to be fun and packed with people, now the energy is totally off. And don't get me started on the server taking 100 years just to bring a drink...like, BRING BACK THE BAR, PLEASE! Sylvan Park needs a bar, not some sit-down restaurant pretending to be cool. We need to start a movement--#SaveBar2! Neighbors, come back to us!

Love Neighbors in the Gulch! Staff is awesome! Our server Eddie was on point and very customer friendly each night. Food was good and fast. The only downfall was the drink orders were not constant at all. Spending the weekend there with my son, it is right by his apartment and Neighbors was our stop for drink before heading back to the apartment. First night drinks martinis and vodka red bull (Thursday) were on point and filled as should be, second night (Friday) they were 75% filled of what they were on Thursday, by the time Saturday night rolled around they were 50% filled.

We came in for drinks around 4 and when we arrived approached the bar asking if there was a server so we could order thru them if necessary. The bartender replied the server would arrive shortly and if not they'd get our order. We found a seat and almost ten minutes later the bartender approached us to take our order. She abruptly asked for a card to start our tab then asked us what we wanted to drink. My boyfriend's mother asked what beers they had on tap to which she rudely replied "we have 21 beers on tap." Listen I get it. I've been working in the service industry now for over two decades. But if someone asked you, what kind of beers you have on top you kindly reply. What kind of beer are you looking for and help them find something they would like. This is now been the second time I have been at this Neighbor's location when this particular bartender has been working and she seems Inconvenienced by the existence of guests. We also sat across from a table that left shortly after we arrived, and it remained unbussed for over an hour and a half. Also to add the cherry on top, it's my birthday and I wanted to go somewhere which in the past I've enjoyed both the atmosphere and the service. Unfortunately I will not be returning to this Neighbors location anytime soon as long as this tattooed, dark haired un hospitable bartender, will be working.

Unbelievable! This Place Has Completely Fallen Apart After the Renovations I cannot believe what this place has done to itself. This bar used to be my absolute go-to--the kind of spot where you walk in and instantly feel at home. It was the perfect balance of lively yet relaxed, a place where you could always count on a fun night, whether it was just hanging out with friends or competing over a game of darts. But all of that is gone now. First of all, they removed *two* bars. Not one, but two. Now, what used to be a perfectly efficient setup for grabbing a drink has turned into an absolute nightmare. You can't even make your way through the crowd anymore, let alone find a decent spot to stand while waiting for a drink. The wait times are now ridiculous, and it's so overcrowded at the remaining bar that you might as well bring a sleeping bag and camp out for the night just to get a round. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? And don't even get me started on the dart board. Gone. Just like that, they ripped out one of the best parts of the place. That dart board was the heart of the room--a gathering spot where we all used to bond over friendly competition, laughs, and a few beers. Now gone The whole flow of the place is a mess. What used to be an easy, free-flowing layout now feels crammed and chaotic. Instead of moving comfortably between conversations and the bar, you're constantly bumping into people, fighting through crowds, or worse--standing around waiting for a bartender to even notice you. The place feels more like a badly planned maze than the fun, inviting spot. Unless they reverse these terrible decisions, I won't be coming back anytime soon. What a huge disappointment. They've taken a beloved local hangout and turned it into a frustrating, overcrowded, and joyless shell of its former self. Unbelievable.

Neighbors sylvan park stop changing everything!! We love it the way it is!! We want the dart board back and please don't change anything else especially not the layout. #savebar2

Neighbors of Sylvan has been one of my favorite spots for years now. The drink prices are bitchin and the staff really know how to take care of you. However, I just heard the side bar is being taken out so they can fit in a few more tables? This doesn't make sense to me, especially since that spot makes them $$$ on the weekends. The side bar is mine and my friends' favorite spot and our favorite bartender, Shay, is mostly why we like to go in there. I imagine this will also cut her/her coworkers pay significantly by destroying a now previously consistent source of income. Neighbors, your staff are the entire reason you've been able to open multiple locations. Take better care of them.

Bartender is more concerned about friends in front of the bar than doing their job. Had an empty beer sitting at the bar with about 5 people on the rail for 20 minutes, no exaggeration. Not difficult to take a look every once in awhile. Won't be back.

Grateful to have this late-night dive available so close to home. I enjoy drinking a few beers on the patio or with a group at one of the big booths on a busy night. The food isn't half bad either. I can say with certainty that we will be back!

Really sad to see this spot go down hill. Getting rid of old staff changed the vibe of a once local gem. Staff were friends to the customers and valued their time. They made the place because you could tell they considered the bar as a home. Neighbors? More like Strangers. Do better and prioritize your customers' experience over getting with the times!

I absolutely love Cara so much! She is the best ever! Definitely the best place to hang out and get a beer :)

Neighbors Sylvan Park is my favorite bar in Nashville for many reasons, but I was VERY disappointed when I heard about plans to remove the dart board and bar #2. #GoldenTeeSucks #savebar2

I love neighbors and all it has! It should stay as is. The dartboard, two bars, bushwackers, everything about it is exceptional and shouldn't change at all

This is my home. This is the best bar ever because they have a main bar and side bar. I love them. Mike, Shay, Becca, Shaggy, Liz are the best bartenders in the world. Service is great and I love the ambiance.

Love this bar but miss the dart board. Not sure why they need a Golden Tee. Hopefully they can figure it out.

It's our home away from home! Best place for a drink in all of Nashville. Can't beat a porch night

I love neighbors so much!!! The service is phenomenal!!! Food always hits. Liz and Sydney are definitely my favorite servers!!!

This place has taken a nose dive in food. Used to be one of the best quesadillas in town. Now, I'm pretty sure they used frozen diced chicken breast for the dilla rather than their smoked chicken, which is beyond me. Still a cool place to get a beer, but you can find better food at an assisted senior living place than Neighbors

Had a wonderful experience with our bartender Jenn !!! She was efficient, fast, and we never had to wait. Will come back and sit at her station !

The best bar I have ever stepped foot in. Kara and Liz are phenomenal! The staff always makes us feel welcomed and like we are at a second home. We always look forward to their smiling faces! The BEST neighborhood bar. The superior Neighbors, hands down !!

Came here for their happy hour on a Thursday that was 4-7pm. 2-4-1 draft and they had football games on outside! Very dog friendly patio and the nachos were huge! Service wasn't as bad as I read on all the reviews and it was pretty busy so I was impressed! Little bug if a younger crowd but overall pretty fun place!

Neighbors in Sylvan Park is my go-to stop. If you plan to visit, definitely hang at the sidebar & chat with the best bartender in town, Shay. Removing one star - word on the street is that Neighbors might remove that glorious sidebar. DONT DO IT NEIGHBORS!! Food is good & the outside porch is chefs kiss.

Love this joint...all time spot. Servers are phenomenal (Liz is special). Cant wait for another Bushwhacker and buffalo chicken quesadilla next Thursday!

We do trivia here on Wednesdays and I haven't been disappointed yet. It's always a good time, the food is great, and the food/drinks are relatively inexpensive. Definitely a Sylvan Park staple! Happily, Clayton Cohn

The Mecca. Amazing service, and bartenders, and cheap beer. I highly recommend. Look for Mike.

We arrived a few hours before the Super Bowl hoping to get a table. Imagine our surprise when we walked in and saw this place was packed! In that instant we knew this was the spot! Walked around a bit and asked someone if all the seats at their table were taken. They were waiting for a few friends but kindly offered to let us sit there. Our server was incredibly attentive. We had so much fun watching the game and making new friends. A hidden gem! It's quite clear this is a favorite amongst the locals!

I haven't been to this location in probably 3 years but I'm digging all the updates. The expanded outdoor seating in front and additional indoor space makes it feel so much bigger and easier to find a spot to sit. I honestly can't wait to take my dog with me to the front patio. I am a true believer that the wings here are WAY better than the Germantown location. My boyfriend got the hot wings and I got a chicken quesadilla. The quesadilla is so good; smoked chicken, lots of melted cheese, and it's pretty big. The only downside was a little slow service. The bar wasn't crazy busy and it took our waitress sometimes a smidge too long to check in for more drinks and to order food. It is literally the only minor complaint I have about this place. It's a fun (dive) bar with great bar food.

My wife and I were in town visiting our son and his gf. The food took what seems like forever to get to us. Our son's gf joined us after our food was delivered, and she received her food at the time we were given the bill. They did not have sufficient staff on a night that they had a trivia night.

we need the dartboard and front bar to stay!!!!! This is very important!!!! #savebar2

"Neighbors" is located in the Sylvan Park neighborhood in Nashville. Hubby and I had the farewell brunch with friends and family here. Although I'm not super into BBQ and this place wouldn't be my top choice for brunch/lunch, I actually loved the low-key and relaxing ambiance. They have Sunday brunch specials, but I ordered the brisket sandwich with cole slaw out of the regular lunch menu. I was anticipating the flavor profile to be on a "sweeter" side. Nevertheless, it wasn't at all. I had to admit that I didn't have much experience in sampling BBQ from various regions (though I was a South Carolinian, on and off, for 7 years). I simply enjoyed my sandwich and thought it was solid. In terms of portion vs. value, I should have gotten something from the Sunday brunch special menu because hubby's huevo rancheros were only $6, half of the cost of my brisket sandwich. Becca, our server, was attentive and graciously dealt with some of the "accidents" occurring to our party (baby knocking the food off the table and the messed-up order for our vegetarian guest). Overall, she was quite responsive to our needs and requests, except we had to flag her down for our checks since hubby and I were trying to get on the road for the eight (8) hour drive back to Chi-town. It's a cool spot away from the touristy part of Nashville. I also noticed that it's pet-friendly. There's nothing better than bringing your furry ones to have a nice meal together.

the manager is just a rude guy that always has a frown and kills the mood. Most of the bartenders are super chill. They should hire someone who would work better with the atmosphere.

I have to admit, Neighbors already had some serious points in my book since it is within stumbling distance from my house, but luckily, they are a killer bar too!! My favorite part of Neighbors is their large back patio with ample seating for parties and TVs if you are wanting to watch the games. Add in a perfect spring or fall day with a nice breeze and you are golden! Food wise, they have a lovely smoker working behind the bar and it emits some fantastic smells. YUM. It makes me hungry just walking by it! The smoked wings are excellent, and I tried the smoked chicken tacos with a spicy guacamole on the side.... perfection! I also tried the meat haters nachos with beans instead of meet, and it was really good as well! They also have a variety of sandwiches and salads. I'm not a beer drinker, but they have 2 for 1 Tuesdays on beer and offer a house wine at $3.50 a glass (cabernet, chardonnay, and pinot). They also offer other wine options if you want to pay $7-8 a glass. The house wine is definitely drinkable, but nothing fantastic. One of my friends tried their version of the bushwacker and was not a fan... I've also tried the Mango Madness frozen drink with a similar experience. Really sweet and not fun to drink. I'll stick with my house wines! :) Just a warning that about 8:00-9:00 they are slammed on Thursdays due to kickball... its hard to walk in there busy, but luckily you can still get drinks pretty quickly considering; though sometimes the waitresses are slow on the patio, but service has varied. Neighbors is a great place to hang out and throw back a few with friends!

This is a cool neighborhood bar in the Sylvian Park area with a nice vibe that seems very popular in the area. They have a decent menu of bar food here but so far I've only had drinks here. There is a nice patio space to enjoy outside when the weather is nice and plenty of interesting spaces inside. They are adding additional locations and sadly I have seen formerly great places lose a lot of their local focus and go corporately cold when they do that so hopefully they maintain their "neighborly" focus and don't forget their local neighbors are what built their business. The female bartender that was working during my last visit (back in 2019 prior to all the worldwide insanity) was certainly not skilled in the art of customer service and seemed to be in a really bad mood so that did kill some of the otherwise nice vibe of this spot. This area has a few other drinking and eating establishments nearby so you can do a bit of a pub crawl with food tasting as you enjoy this nice neighborhood space.

I have been here a few times now and find the vibe exactly what I am looking for - a neighborhood bar without the frills. With everything being so trendy, I feel that Nashville has lost a lot of authenticity. Places are wanting to be some huge hotbed for tourists or whatever, versus Neighbors stays true to its name. It is neighborly, friendly, low key, and doesn't ask for much. It provides a solid food and drink menu with a good patio and live music. I really don't think I could have asked for more. Well, maybe one thing - the bathrooms could stand to be cleaned 4 or 5 times more often than what they are. Low on TP and an urinal that clearly hasn't been flushed the last few uses gets to your nose. Lack of soap is an issue, too. Yeah... that could change. For what it is worth, they are quick to address the problem when asked so at least there is that. I have never had a problem with customer service. I usually sit at the bar opposed to a table so I can have the immediate attention I need. I like being able to converse with the bartenders and relax while people watching. People watching is a premium here. Parking can be a pain. There is a gravel lot down a bit from the establishment and a couple of spaces in front of it, otherwise, you're stuck parking in the neighborhood that is limiting. I wouldn't walk by myself alone at night around here. It is not a bad area by any means, but it is a bit desolate and that doesn't run well by me. Walk in pairs, ladies! Great place and fun vibes. Enjoy.

*Review is for happy hour only* Neighbors in Sylvan Park is your casual neighborhood dive bar. They do have one of the best happy hour deals in town at the 2-1 beer from 4 pm- 6 pm. They have an outdoor patio in the front with a few TVs, a main bar area and booth seating then an enclosed back deck area (where the bathrooms are) with another bar. On a day with nice weather their patio is nice to sit and enjoy some drinks. The metal chairs aren't very comfortable but it's not a big deal. On a busy night it's easier to just go order at the bar and start a tab there rather than wait for a server to notice you outside. I've had their beer and their chips and salsa but that's about it so I cannot speak to their food really. They were out of the Jackalope lovesick the other night but they have plenty of good beer choices. Best part of neighbors though? Petting all the doggos. Their patio is very dog friendly so a lot of people bring the pups. Other than that, they have a good happy hour deal and patio. There is no parking for the business so you have to either park in the paid lot or on a side street and walk.

Have been here a few times over the years (a couple years back) and remember it being a good spot back then. It still is. The atmosphere's fun, lively, and a little noisy. The drink selection is very solid -- most drinks are available for their excellent happy hour ((4-7pm, M-F) although they exclude the ones you really want, of course)! The food was (mostly) pretty good. The chips and guac were tasty, and the burger and waffle fries were above average. The disappointment was the chicken tacos. They didn't have much flavor by themselves and were a bit dry.. they needed a sauce of some sort. A side of some kind of spicy guac was provided, but it was seemingly a mixture of: 2 oz water, 1/8 tsp of avocado, and 3 ground jalapeños. Way too spicy. Perhaps they mixed up the side sauce or something went awry because I can't see anyone enjoying the tacos the way they were presented. Other than the tacos, we had a great visit. Service was friendly and fairly prompt. One thing to note: 2-for-1 happy hour means you get both drinks at the same time, so your best bet, if you like to switch up beers like I do, is to bring along a friend to compliment your drink choice and trade with!

Came here for a late night snack on a Thursday! The staff was friendly and the queso was great! My partner had the brisket quesadilla and loved it! Will definitely be visiting again!

Great spot with a chill and friendly atmosphere. Jonny Mac is the man. Stellar service! Exceptional!

Gracious! It's really not that hard folks. The genuine "I don't care if you're here or not" vibe is out there. It's pretty obvious they don't mind if you don't come back. It's consistently average on all fronts. But the service is the biggest reason for the score. The last time our group of six dropped came with a 30 minute waiting game until our server came and acknowledged us. She was really nice, but it seems like maybe they need more staff or better management/leadership.

I first stumbled across this place by word of mouth. It's a great "pseudo" dive-bar in a more upscale area that has a fun, vibrant atmosphere with good, reasonably priced drinks. The food is typical of what you would expect in a bar (we got fried chicken tenders and nachos). Both were decent, but decent for "bar food". Go for the fun, the drinks and if you drink enough, the food!

We came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon after our original plan for Hattie B's was thwarted by a huge line of people. This place was rated well and I heard good things from other people, so I was game. You can enter either the front or the back of the building. They've got patio seating up front, then a enclosed patio with an outdoor bar. We sat inside as it was 95 degrees out, on a humid day. The sign says 'seat yourself' so we did. The server who greeted us, gave us a brunch menu and a run-through of the drink specials. That was about all she said during the lunch. The service didn't seem to be too Neighborly (if you'll pardon the pun). I think this is the kind of place that you come here 3 times a week, the staff might be a little more friendly. The server we had was more friendly to the locals than us, in my opinion. I ordered the quesadilla with chicken ($10.50), and cole slaw as the side. We also got the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad as a side ($10.50). The food didn't too long. The quesadilla came with sour cream, salsa and bbq sauce. It was an ok chicken quesadilla. The pulled pork had a lot of bbq sauce on it. The cole slaw is a vinegar based type, very light. The food was average bar food to me. We paid and left, I doubt we will be back as it wasn't a very inviting place.

A great bar atmosphere. Late night food was good and drinks were ok. I loved the Soulful music that was playing. And the staff was very friendly with great suggestions.

I'm a Nashville native who grew up in Sylvan Park, was an avid supporter of neighborhood business, worked in multiple establishments in the neighborhood..including Jacks Market. Neighbors was my after work, recommend a friend, watch a Preds game, see a friendly face, go-to bar. After moving away a little over a year ago I always make sure when I come home to visit my family that Neighbors is on my list. I've been drinking there and supporting that business since it opened. After the tornado, visiting and supporting Neighbors this trip was intimately important to me and I'm truly sad to say that I will never walk in there ever again. Last night, at last call, the GM who I've seen many many times, instead of calmly asking patrons to leave was screaming at us, asking us if we were deaf, I heard her yelling from the bathroom. When I confronted her and said there was no need to act nasty and unprofessional, she, and the other bartenders (whom I had just tipped easily 30%) told me they didn't care. Sarah looked at my face and told me to "get the fuck out." I live in New York and people don't talk to me like that. I've been in the service industry most of my life. I've had to kick unruly, stubborn, don't want to leave, people out of many bars and have never spoken to a patron that way. I've never needed to. I'm sad that the establishment allows this type of or lack of managerial skills. Needless to say, my friends, who were so happy to be visiting with me who are "regulars" were also completely unhappy with the way I was yelled at and mocked that they will also not be returning. It's disheartening to be treated that way in a bar that used to feel like home. Talking to customers like that is not an effective way to gain community support. I hope in the future your staff understands that there are more respectful ways to treat people who are ultimately there supporting them.

On Saturday afternoon we stumbled upon the Neighbors/Local Taco Cinco de Mayo block party. Sweeeet! They closed off the back parking lot and they had a bar, snow cone table, corn hole and hired a band. Excellente! As much as I wanted to get down with the band we were there on a mission! What was that mission? To sit outside, grab a cold beer and watch the Kentucky Derby. This sounds easy but how many real porches or patios do you know that have TVs? I'll give you a moment to think. Besides the aforementioned pro they are also non-smoking on the inside. To me that's like plus a million stars. You've all heard my rant so I'll save you, but only this one time. Since the place is fairly new it's also very clean. Again, another HUGE plus. I haven't really dove into their menu too much but I do know they have a delicious smelling smoker in the back lot. I think I like the smell of BBQ more than BBQ itself. My writing teacher said I should always wrap things up at the end of an essay so here goes! The bar is perfect for the neighborhood it's in. It filled a void that was so desperately needed to be filled. Great job! Side note: I think you should open a Neighbors East next to the Rosepepper, Wild Cow, etc. It's a bar dead zone (sorry Fran's) and a Neighbors East would be a perfect addition to the area!

Great service!! Very friendly staff, it's a nice neighborhood place. The patio is really relaxing in the evening.

Great beer selection and above average pub food. The remodeling that took place really eliminated crowding. However, the main gathering are does get crowded. They could of done so much more with this place. I am upset they got rid of the Golden Tee machine. I don't visit often for this simple reason. But would recommend anyone looking for a beer near sylvan park stop here.

Worst service ever! Literally any time I come here there is awful service inside and out. Sucks and is super frustrating

Give me a night at Neighbs or give me death. Welcome yourself to the neighborhood with wings, and ribs! Butt don't miss the tater salad! Deviled!

Neighbors is very good for a local pub in Nashville! Many Sylvan Park locals can be seen and talked to daily at this local pub. Stop in for a quick beverage and sample platter of food chicken, mozzarella sticks and fried pickles should fill up 3 men! Very mellow atmosphere with great staff to help with any request that might be needed. Most of the staff have worked at Neighbors for years so treat them well! Stop in to watch a football game on many of their TVs!
