The Nashville Bar Hit List: Great New Bars In Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"This actual boot-scootin’ saloon is a NY transplant, but other than the famous blue bodega cups holding their famous Original Willie’s Frozen Coffee, you’d have no idea it wasn’t born right here in Nashville. In fact, we’re going to go ahead and claim this one from here on out. There are hot peanuts delivered right away, an old-school Chicago bar rail, real Americana music, and Dr. Pepper, rum, and amaretto drinks that come with a Slim Jim." - ann walczak

Nashville’s New Restaurant Openings - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Brooklyn apparently decided we didn't have enough of our own honky-tonks, so they plopped Skinny Dennis—named after the late bassist Skinny Dennis Sanchez—into East Nashville. Seems like it’ll fit right in with its divey decor, frozen coffee, and free hot peanuts. You can also catch live music there seven nights a week." - jackie gutierrez jones 2

Checked out this bar recently and really loved it. The vibe was chill, stylish, and just the right energy. Great music, solid drinks, and a space that makes you want to stay a while. Definitely coming back.

Awesome sauce! Legendary Brooklyn club named after a Outlaw Country icon comes to Nashville, w a bang! Super fun place w live music every day! Service was crisp , best bar staff I've seen in years! It's NOT a regular new country Nashville bar , it's in E Nashville w the hipsters and Americana fans! My fav was the big sign that said "absolutely, positively no line dancing" lol they also had old Tx throwback Shot n a Beer menu that was great value at $8! My kinda place!!!!!

Excellent country bands playing real traditional country music! Also some of the most efficient and attentive bartenders I've ever seen.

Skinny Dennis , just lucky that this place just opened as we were visiting Nashville, and I am a sucker for live music. It has another location in New York . It was going to be a celebration for an album of an country music artist , so we decided to go. The venue is packed with oeople when we arrive, lucky some ladies help us with a sharing tables with us . There is a restaurant attached to it , Miss Mao from New Orleans is in the house cooking up some funky asian food . Surprise is Indian onion rings and paninpuri , really !!! All of the food was awesome , its all self serve hence the 3 star for service. The cocktails were slso awesome, Everyone was having a great time dancing to the lovely music . When we left at 10 the line was very long to get in, this is a nice new happening place.

Yes yes yes. I visited Nashville for five days from Texas and this was by far my favorite spot. The frozen coffee drinks 💋 💋 (very similar to Erin Rose in New Orleans!). The band was great. We went on a Sunday and there was a vintage market I bought way too many things from. Honky tonk meets dive in the best way. Try the food from miss mao as well! The chicken wontons were yummy.

As a matter of disclosure, i work security for this establishment. It is fastly becoming a local favorite with great food and entertainment nightly who wouldn't want to stop in and have a cocktail or two. I have only tried the steak bites and fried chicken and both were delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly garnished with thyme, ginger and sarreno pepper's. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the sauce it was marinated was unbelievable

This was a favorite stop of mine in East Nashville. This is more of a locals spot and not the typical Honky tonks you find downtown Nashville. Make this a stop if you want a laid back experience with great bartenders that truly love their jobs or at least they make it seem as if they do and listen to their suggestions on other places to hit up.

packed. head to toe. Great live music and a nice rotating food truck in the back. This turns the bad perception of east nashville folks into a fantastic time machine of happiness, music and good vibes.

Amazing live music and fun dancing! Went on a Saturday night and it felt like we got transported back in time. Great country dive bar feel but elevated!
