Great bar vibes and tasty food. Service here is amazing and the staff is friendly. I feel transported back to the 90’s a bit-in a good way!!☺️ I’m loving the onion rings, sliders and pigs in a blanket.

I absolutely love Twilight Tavern. It’s exactly the kind of place I want to be a regular at. I have gone a few times at this point and it’s always such a great experience every time. The food is always so yummy and the service is always great. It’s the perfect place to go for a chill dinner after work or even for lunch any day. They have a parking lot right outside so it’s always so easy to park. A huge perk! The pictures featured include a Fiesta Chicken Sandwich, Cheeseburger with Cheddar Cheese, French Dip with Swiss Cheese, and Cheeseburger Sliders.

Twilight Tavern has been my favorite spot since it opened, and it just keeps getting better! The staff is incredible, always attentive, remembering my drink order, and making every visit feel personal. The food is top-notch, with their daily soups stealing the show every time. Sundays are a highlight with half-off Bloody Marys, mimosas, and draft beers, perfect for chilling solo or with friends and family. Plus, with tons of TVs, it’s the ideal place to cheer on your team. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, this place is a Nashville must-visit!

I really liked my experience at Twilight Tavern. Their mission style wings were hot but tasty. You’ll find standard beers/ciders on the menu as well as the standard bar. I’d like to try the Korean bbq wings next time as well. They have a huge outdoor seating available. Their parking lot has a ton of spaces, and it was very easy to find parking. Service was great. Don’t be surprised if you get served by multiple servers as their style is a bit different and everyone is serving everyone, which is great. I might try the quesadillas next time as well. Their soup of the day was creole white bean soup. Overall, I would go there again!

So glad we finally decided to try this place. No more arguing about where to go eat! Wings had to be the best - got half Korean and half Mission. Both were incredible but I have to lean towards the Mission. Smoking Wed turned into Smoking Fri this week so we got the ribs. AL white sauce is fantastic, ribs were equally fantastic as well. To top it all off, drinks were $1 off. Can't beat it - will be back for sure. Can't wait till it cools off - this will be our new after work watering hole.

We’ve been regulars at Twilight Tavern and have always brought our kids along. Our children typically watch videos on our phones with us while we dine—this has never been an issue until today. Out of nowhere, we were told there’s a “zero audio policy” and were asked to turn the videos off. This was surprising and upsetting, especially since no one has ever mentioned this before in all our previous visits. We felt unwelcome and left after paying for our drinks—without even ordering food. As loyal customers, this experience was frustrating and disappointing. If this is a new policy, it should be made clear upfront and applied consistently—not sprung on guests unexpectedly.

There is something here for everyone. Great food and even better service. The jalapeño chicken soup was to die for. Salmon salad was the best in all of Nashville. If you have not been here you are missing the best of Nashville. The servers will not let you have mediocre experience. Give it a try. They are amazing.

Great salads and service. Great lunch crowd is indicative of the quality of food here. Not fancy, but solid meals. The salads are huge and tasty. Recommend the chicken salad salad. Don't be intimidated by the area as it's not the best in Nashville, but worth a visit!

Twilight Tavern where you're not in the twilight zone....this was the first time visiting this place and was definitely impressed. It is a seat yourself establishment and they address you fairly quickly once seated. I highly recommend getting a bushwacker. It's probably one of the best in Nashville. I love a good bushwacker....I couldn't finish it all due to getting full off of my meal, but it's worth the $8. My friend and I ordered the open face roast beef with tots and a French Dip sandwich with onion rings. Open face roast beef- was accurately described in the menu. The beef was well seasoned and tender. It could've just came on 1 slice of bread rather than 2 seeing as how only 1 slice of the bread was able to sop up all the juiciness. My friend described the onion rings as "to die for" lol that may be a reach though. She seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the French dip that didn't need the peppers and onion which she requested to be put on the side. She added Swiss and shredded Jack to the sandwich, which was an added touch that took the sandwich to the next level. My next visit I plan to order the Korean bbq chicken wings!

Definitely a good place to have a bunch of drinks with your friends and then Uber home. Food was okay, service was solid. Definitely a local feeling bar.

Stopped by to visit with a friend and stayed longer than expected. The venue was not too loud and the bar seating worked well for catching a game. The bartenders were responsive and friendly. The food looked good based on observation.

This is a place I had driven by so many times before going in. Finally, a friend told me to meet him there because it's a place where he goes all the time. Now I get it. The food is wonderful, the staff is so nice, and the atmosphere is really fun. It's great for a chill date night or just hanging out with friends. Parking is really easy which is always a plus for me

We started our meal with an order or cheese curds. Good cheese curds are relatively rare in Nashville, and these were very close to the authentic Wisconsin cheese curds I've had over the years. They were just salty enough, and the breading was perfectly crispy. I could have finished an order by myself with ease. For my main course, I ordered the regular cheeseburger, which was good, but it didn't blow me away. I ordered the burger medium-well, but it was beyond well done. Unfortunately, that zapped the meat of most of its flavor. The potato bun was soft and did a good job of holding the sandwich together, with the help of the slice of cheddar cheese. The sweet potato fries were delicious and made up for the burger's shortcomings. Despite the mediocre burger, I really enjoyed my meal. They had one of my favorite ciders (Bold Rock) which paired perfectly with the burger. Our waitress was incredible which contributed to the great experience. I'd definitely go back to explore more of the menu.

Atmosphere is definitely a sports bar, so wear your favorite team. i've had lots of items here there jerk. Chicken salad is great. their wings are great and mini flavors. They always have a daily soup all that I've tried have been good French onion soup is always on the menu and it's great. French dip sandwich is yummy too. You really can't go wrong here.

Not a dive, not a high end place - this place sits somewhere in between. I started coming here about a year ago with some friends and we are fairly regular (at least a couple of times a month), normally on Sunday. Why Sunday? Half-price beer. Beer? A decent selection. They rotate a few taps, but there are always some great staples on tap, like Bell's Two Hearted, Jai A'lai, and Zombie Dust. You will also find similar in other styles, including quite a few local and Tennessee beers. Did I mention half-price Sunday? The atmosphere is pretty much a pub. Some high tables, some low. They also have huge windows they open when it is not so god awful hot (like this week). A great place to sit with friends and enjoy a game or wind down after a game. Lots of music memorabilia around the place, including booking photos of both Ozzy and Jim Morrison. The food? Considering this is a diner-style place (kitchen behind the bar), the food is pretty damned good. This last time I tried the Mission Style wings (see picture), which are decently spiced dry rub chicken wing. Not too hot up front, but it does sneak up on you. I also like the open faced roast beef (also pictured), although I find it gets a bit too rich and I end up taking some home. But, the pièce de résistance has to be the double BLT sliders (yet another picture) which are two types of bacon on a Hawaiin roll with lettuce and tomato. The Pecan and Applewood bacon blend nicely with the Hawaiin rolls, making this a little slice of heaven. And they make great onion rings, as well, so can the fries. Okay? The burgers are also nice (although not pictured here) and you can add gravy to the burger (see my Lauter review?), which must be a southern thing or something. And, if you are really shot in the butt about gravy, have them upgrade to gravy fries. On Sunday, I had the French Onion Soup, which is a bit sweeter than I like, but it was still a nice bowl. On the menu, of what I have had, I find the bratwurst to be something I would prefer to get elsewhere and I would leave the French dip as is rather than add cheese, onions, and peppers, as the combination overwhelms a bit. As a side note, as it does not affect me, the place is kid friendly and has a kid menu - although they will likely be pissing you off my stealing your BLT sliders ... because bacon. (they will throw off the tomato and lettuce, 'cause that's what kids do). In summary, a great little place for a meal and a brew. And bacon.

I've been here several times and pretty much everything I've tried on the menu is good... the chicken tenders, chicken tender salad, and French dip are my favorites

This is a very cool looking bar & restaurant that looked like it had opened not too long ago. It seems more restaurant than bar but they have a great selection of draft beer. They also have a great patio here and they have taken a lot of effort to make a really fun space here. During my visit they had some great music and I really enjoyed my visit. They had great bartenders that took good care of me and were happy to chat and tell me more about the business. I had noticed this place had been packed several times during my stay in Nashville but by the time I got around to visiting it was pretty laid back and calm but the good music, nice service and cold beer certainly give me plenty of reasons to linger on for quite awhile and enjoy the hospitality here.

Ate here on a Sunday night, not very busy able to eat out on the patio. Service was quick and kind.Good happy hour choices. The staff is very attentive. Food came out fast and tasted great. Food and drink prices were very reasonable.

My husband, daughter, and I had lunch at this restaurant today. Service was great. I had house salad with salmon. My husband had a sandwich wrap while my daughter had her usual cheeseburger. She also ordered teriyaki chicken wings. I asked that my grilled salmon be rare and it was. That rarely happens. The salad was bountiful and the greens were bite sized. More often than not, I have to cut the greens because they are too big for my mouth. The wings were on the tough side and the fries a little too salty. However, our server was quick to correct the situation and was very apologetic. The place was spacious enough and comfortable.

I feel as if I stepped back in time as I look at all the photos of celebrities. I grew up in Queens, NYC, and this is exactly like one of those sleepy working-class bars where good people come to escape the noise from outside! I had an uncle who owned a bar/pizza joint back in the '60'd on the Southside of Chicago, when it was mostly j Polish, Italian and Jewish. I've lived in the Bellevue area since 2018 and wanted to try this place, but parking was challenging, but I got here at the perfect day/time. The staff are pleasant and it just feels like a warm and friendly place to have a bite and relax with something from the bar. I had the Seoul Rolls, Korean BBQ wings, chicken Caesar salad and they were delish!!Highly recommended!!

My go to spot for a late lunch! I love the whole vibe of this bar. It's a laid back atmosphere and a lot different than most newer bars in the area. You really can't go wrong with any of the food...I have tried most of the menu items lol. Highly recommend the fried okra, wings, and even the quesadillas are a hit. They have it all opened up most of the time so you can enjoy the nice weather or sit back and chill when it's a rainy day. Service is always great too!

First night in Nashville and stumbled upon this place, could not have gotten any luckier! Mackenzie recommended the open face roast beef, went with it and oh my gosh, was so pleasantly surprised at how incredible it was! I am not sure how long it has been since i had an open-face sandwich, of any kind, but if they were all this good i could see them becoming a staple again. The staff all works together to make sure your every need is taken care of, sometimes before you know it. Nice bar, seems like a 'Cheers' type place. Highly reccomend and if you get Mackenzie as your server listen to her reccomendations!

I've been here three times and the food is good. Usually go at lunch. Great cheeseburger and awesome Reuben and not your ordinary fries! Want to check out their wings next time. Wait staff is always efficient and friendly. Lots a free/easy parking. Dairy dip next door for a shake or a cone on the way home!!

The best thing about this spot is that they have a patio-it'll be nice in the summer time. We got a few appetizers, the Korean egg rolls were interesting, wouldn't order it again. The salmon dip was served cold and it tasted like fishy cream cheese, so that was a no. Chicken wings were ok, I like flavor to my food but it was extra salty, but the fries were good-I made sure to order it extra crispy. We all agreed the the fries & chili cheese fries were the best thing in the menu. Not a place that I'd care to go to again.

First visit, had lunch there Sunday. We started with the Seoul Rolls. Outstanding! Just the right amount of heat. We will definitely do that again. For her entrée my wife ordered the chicken quesadillas. She thought they were very good, and gave me a bite. I agreed. We got there at opening time; only one other couple was ahead of us. Service was good, especially at first. As the restaurant started filling up, our server was stretched a little thin, but still did a good job of keeping our beverage glasses refilled. The reason I'm leaving 4 stars versus 5. I ordered my burger medium rare+. It seemed to be taking a long time to get our food, no busier than they were. When the food arrived, my burger was cooked very well done. No excuse for that. At the time the kitchen wasn't even busy. Obviously just not paying attention. In our servers defense, she offered to get me another burger, but my wife was already eating, and as long as it took to get the first one, I passed. I don't think I'll ever order another burger there, but we will be back. Next time I think I'll get the quesadillas.

Korean BBQ Wings are 5 stars. Great crisp and the sauce has nice slow heat. Ranch is a nice touch as well. Great bar & patio with tons of tv's. 20+ beers on tap including Bearded Iris Homestyle and 3 Floyds Zombie Dust. Rock solid place.

I visited this place shortly after it opened a couple years ago and wasn't impressed. I decided to give it another chance in June and was so impressed by the turnaround from my first experience that I've been back no less than 5 times since. Their food is delicious, but believe me when I say the Mission Wings are hot (real hot). Happy hour lasts until 7 and they have two rotating beer selections that are half off every day. Nice, laid back atmosphere. The wait staff works their butt off to take care of everyone.

TL;dr: Friendly neighborhood tavern (bar-and-grill vibe) with excellent beer selection, full bar, great food at a reasonable price. Perfect place for an unpretentious night out in Nashville. 100% will be back! Found this place with my boyfriend as one of the first places we tried as newbies to Nashville. We have been back twice now. The food is great (the Korean BBQ wings are killer) and there's a great selection of beers (both draft and bottles/cans, craft and domestic). The vibes are definitely dive-y, which I LOVE. We came to have burgers and watch a March Madness game--and no disappointment there! Anywhere you sit in this place, you can watch the TV. And the audio was great, you can hear the commentators. Food has always come out super fast, water kept filled the whole time, beers served in tumblers to the top, just a great experience all around. If you love a laid back bar and grill type vibe, this place will NOT disappoint. It is not pretentious like other burger and beer establishments in Nashville, which is much appreciated. Very reasonably priced: drafts $4. Dinner for two came out to about $50 with beer, burgers and fries + appetizer. Love this place already!

I've been thinking about the open faced roast beef sandwich since I left there. It was SO DELICIOUS. Probably the best I've had. The gravy had a little kick to it but it was the perfect amount of heat. The fries were good, service was great. It'll be one of my go-to spots, for sure.

Happy to have a solid new bar in the neighborhood! We stopped in after dinner for a few drinks and I'm glad we did. Cute cozy atmosphere loved the lighting and patio seating. Tons of tvs so this will be my go to spot when football season rolls back around. We didn't have anything to eat but I mean after a few drinks does the food really matter lol?! Welcome to the neighborhood twilight tavern, we will be back!

We've drove past many times but assumed by the looks that kids weren't allowed. Checked on Yelp and decided to give it a try. My wife and I and our two kids, 3 & 8, had a great meal around 7:00 on a Friday night. Friendly service and good food! The FRIED OKRA IS A MUST TRY! Solid burger, good fries. We'll be back soon.

I live in the area and wanted to find a new spot to watch the game and have some food. Bam!! Found it. Cheese Dip is very tasty and came out hot hot. And a slight bit of savory to it and enough pep. I thought it graded a B+ so I would recommend it. Now most unique and delicious slider ever was next. Double Bacon BLT and I asked for Gouda cheese on it. These are laid into Hawaiian roles and man was it good. I ordered 2 and it was amazing. Super friendly people. Very clean. And I will be back. Fo Sho.

Wow!! Sigh.... I hate giving only 4 stars... Sigh. If I could give a half star more I would. The only reason I can't give a five star is because the horseradish sauce had no bite. I got the French dip and was really excited about the horseradish dipping sauce but was disappointed. Food was so delicious though. It will definitely be a regular stop for me. Had alot of drafts which is always great!!
